Auto Vs Manual Scheduling

Auto scheduling that is one of the latest features introduced by HootSuite, choose optimum timings for your post to get shared on Social networks that you previous set up in your streams. These optimum timings would normally be 1-2 hours in gap. So in case you publish 10 posts, Hoot Suite would pass those on to Facebook (or what ever social profile you have set up) with 1-2 hours gap.

What's Wrong About That?

Though these 'optimum' timings can be pretty useful in terms of finding just the right time to bring in the most traffic (that is when maximum people are online on these social networks) though it can be damaging for your social fan count too.

We experimented with these auto scheduling features and as it started sending in post updates with high frequency, we started loosing followers as Hootsuite might felt spamy to them.

Once your post are scheduled, they would look something like as shown in the picture below.

That was it. Once you do that daily, you would definitely feel a difference in your social media traffic. Though for a considerable social media traffic, you must have a decent following there as not all the people would click on your posts that are shared.
