Why Should You Schedule Tweets?

Stay Consistent

Posting regularly is key to growth. Scheduling ensures you never miss a day.

Post at Optimal Times

Schedule tweets for when your audience is most active, even if you're asleep.

Batch Your Work

Create a week of content in one session instead of interrupting your day.

Plan Ahead

See your content calendar at a glance. Maintain a cohesive content strategy.

Pro Tips for Scheduling Tweets

Schedule tweets for your audience's peak hours (usually 9am-12pm and 5pm-7pm in their timezone)
Don't schedule too many tweets in a row - space them out by at least 2-3 hours
Use AI to generate variations of your best-performing content
Review your scheduled tweets weekly to ensure they're still relevant
Schedule threads together so all parts post in sequence
Leave room for real-time tweets - don't schedule 100% of your content
