Social Networking Post Reminders

barkwheats says:
I work for a non-profit where I manage our social networking pages, mainly Facebook & Twitter. Since I can often get caught up in my other work, I use RTM to set reminder to make a post daily to our Facebook and Twitter accounts. For example, I set reoccuring reminders to post about our Field Program every Friday or about our eco-tours every Wednesday. I find it's easy to remember to post when we have something exciting to announce, but it's not as easy when it's just an average day!

I often have ideas of things to post but need to remember to do it at a later date - such as an event happening in 2 months, a future deadline for a matching donation challenge or a reoccurring reminder for fans to sign up for our email newsletters 2 days before our next e-newsletter is scheduled to send.

I put these reminders in my standard "work" list with a #3 priority - it's not the end of the world if it doesn't get done, but at least it's on my radar. I use the tags "fb" & "twitter" to denote which accounts I want to post in.

This has been a HUGE help for me to make sure posting to our organization's social networking accounts don't get lost in the daily workload!
