What is Publer and how does it work?
I can answer that questions super fast. Publer, is a social media scheduler; but let us dive a bit deeper than that.
When you have multiple social media accounts, scheduling content and posting across all the main social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn, (just to name a few) it can be a very time consuming and exhausting process. This is why you need to use a social media scheduling tool like Publer, to make the time-consuming and complicated task simple, quick and easy.
Publer allows users to:
Create, schedule, preview everywhere on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter and Google My Business from the same platform.
AutoSchedule
The system then checks if there are any scheduled posts. All you have to do is create a posting schedule according to your needs with the proper times and dates, labels and decide the post type, which can range from Links, photos, GIFs, URLs, etc.
Bulk Scheduling
You don’t have to manually create your posts on Publer. You can import up to 500 videos, photos, updates and links at the same time to Publer’s bulk uploader using a CSV file or dragging & dropping them to the dashboard.
Watermarks images and videos
Watermarking is the easiest way to secure your photos or digital work. It prevents the unauthorised use of the material. Watermarks are also used as advertising tools as they can immediately be connected to the company. The system automatically watermarks photos and videos, saving you time and effort.
Saved Drafts
Publer does not only post following a schedule or directly on the platform. It also allows users to save unfinished drafts or reuse old posts. There is a Saved Drafts tab, which contains all the saved drafts for posting in the status update, links and others. Drafts can also be saved in bulk.
AutoShare and AutoDelete
After posting, users can automatically share the post, schedule or repost it. Publer attaches the link to make it easier. There is also an AutoDelete option which is used to delete posts after a certain amount of time such as when the promotion/event is over. There are pre-defined AutoDelete options users can choose from.
Recycle
If you are into online sales and need to post your products all the time, you might find Publer a useful program. It has a reporting mechanism where you can select the days and number of times you want the post published. You can pause/resume the recycling process anytime.
Call-to-Action Buttons on Links and Videos
CTA buttons increase your accounts’ click-through rate. It is an invitation or call to viewers to act on your post. If you want them to visit your website, call or purchase a product, you can just choose the relevant CTA button.
AutoShorten URLs
Publer, has partnered with Bitly, Rebrandly, Switchy, JotUrl, RocketLink and PixelMe to give you the possibility to shorten any link and also add UTM parameters. If you connect one of the shortening accounts with Publer, all the links will be automatically shortened if needed.
Group the accounts on your dashboard
The system allows you to coordinate your posts by grouping them on the dashboard. Just click on the group name and create/schedule posts per each one of the social accounts at the same time.
Signatures
You can create and place signatures, social links or hashtags at the end of the post by creating a signature and setting it o appear at the end of every post.
