How I use autoscheduling apps to work my business for me

Ever heard of buffer? Hootsuite?

If you haven't, or are not currently using them, I will post the links at the end of this post so you can download them.

These apps are changing the way we work our businesses. Seriously!!! Many of us work full time right now and can not be on our social media accounts all day long! Completely understandable, even as a previous stay at home mom, its impossible to be on social media all day every day! So some super smart person created these apps for us to use!
I used to have buffer then forgot my log in information when my so loving now one year old deleted the app.... So now I have hootsuite! I can copy and paste posts, photos, links, and hash tags to the app on my smart phone (seriously thanks facebook for adding the copy feature!!!) then have the option to instantly post across all of my social media accounts or schedule the post. I love the freedom of this app!

OK so its pretty simple, schedule as many posts that you want, to post WHEN you want or you can choose auto schedule (my favorite feature) then it does all of the hard work for you. I mean its like a person social media assistant! Who wouldn't LOVE that????

You can have 3 social media accounts on the free version of hootsuite! I chose my personal fb page, my business page on facebook (the one you like) and instagram. I've also had my twitter linked to it but since I use instagram more and have no clue what im doing on twitter, I switched!

I suggest sitting for an hour or so, copying and pasting any testimonies you see, any really awesome posts you see, motivational photos, the link to your website, a daily family post, etc on your account so you can be set for a week. I believe that life can and will get in the at some point this year and as long as you schedule posts your business will remain active, meaning your friends/family/potenitals will see your posts and think that you are working your business non stop.

Here are the links to sign up www.buffer.com and www.hootsuite.com also they are smart phone apps which is what i use the most!

Hope this helps your business so you can be the multitasking amazing person you are!

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU?

NEW YEAR, NEW YOU?

How about new year, new focus?
New year, new commitment?
New year, new outlook?

Any of these would work. Don't change YOU because you are absolutely amazing! Sometimes, we just need a new beginning, A new starting point. Many people choose TODAY  to make that happen. Something about January 1st makes people see how crummy their last year was and how they need to change something.

I am starting today by saying last year I failed. I am admitting my faults and saying I do not want to repeat my mistakes again this year, as i am sure most of you agree with. So today I am starting a schedule of blog posts to encourage you, to make sure you do not fall down the same hole you did in 2015.

It is all apart of my commitment to changing my life for good. This year we have a lot of changes going on. Planning a wedding, losing weight, growing my business, raising a one year old and a 7 year old, we have a competition cheerleader too(can you say goodbye Monday nights?). I mean just those things alone are enough to drive someone crazy, now to add running a business, a blog, and working full time to the mix, I might actually go crazy at some point this year, but I promise, this is going to be the best year yet!

Today, RIGHT NOW, log in to your back office. Message back that person that has been on your mind about needing a boost in the health area. Or call that person you know needs a way to make some extra cash. Go shake up your Slim and drink it. Today is the day to start over. Today is the get we get off our butts and chase our dreams. Today is the day to be the best leader you can be! Don't have team yet? THAT DOES NOT MATTER ONE BIT! Practice makes perfect. 

So today we begin, today we start going and reaching for our goals! 

I have so many topics I will be covering in the next year. Many posts I am actually writing today that will be posted in the next week. Lots of business tips that I am learning for the Plexus Jewels.

Stick with me guys, and we will go far.
