How to Schedule a Post on Facebook

An active stream of content on your Facebook Page can help keep your readers engaged. To avoid having to constantly release new posts, schedule posts ahead of time! Although Facebook no longer lets you schedule posts on personal accounts (even if you're using apps like HootSuite), you can still do so on a business or organization's Page. This wikiHow teaches you how to schedule posts for later on your Facebook Page.
