5. Share Your Older Content through Buffer These are the perfect types of posts to prepare and schedule in advance and Buffer is a great tool to manage this. First you define the times you want to post updates to your social channels (Facebook, Twitter) and then you simply add posts to your queue ready to be shared at the next available time slot. A complementary tool to Buffer isBulkbuffer which enables you to prepare all your posts in a spreadsheet and then import them to Buffer so they are automatically added to the queue.
