Quick Guide to the Facebook Post Schedule for Fan Pages

 

Scheduling Facebook Posts

On each fan page, Facebook offers ability to schedule a time when a post will go live.

This is a valuable tool because you can plan ahead and ensure posts go live at times when your audience (fans) are most likely to be on Facebook.

You can prepare a post and schedule it to appear later by adding a date and time in the future before you post it. You can schedule a post up to 6 months in advance in 10-minute intervals.

From your Page’s sharing tool:

  1. Choose the type of post you want to add to your Page
  2. Click the time 389849807718635 1625545561 How to Post for Maximum Engagement to your Facebook News Feed icon in the lower-left of the sharing tool
  3. Choose the future year, month, day, hour and minute when you’d like your post to appear
  4. Click Schedule
