A PRODUCTIVE WAY TO POST ON FACEBOOK

I’m not sure how many people know about this, probably more than I can imagine.  But I just discovered it and thought I would spread the word.  I think this is super cool.

We all know there are plenty of tools out there to schedule your FB posts.  My problem with them is that I have to open up another web-site, log-in, copy & paste, schedule, etc.  I already have a ton of windows open on my computer.  What I wanted instead was to use what I was already using.  Alah, there is a way.

Using outlook, you can send an e-mail (much like you do all the time anyway) to your own personal FB account.  Don’t know your own personal FB account?  Go here and it’s right there for you:  http://www.facebook.com/mobile/

Your post is the subject line.  No need to put anything in the body of the email.

Outlook allows you to schedule e-mails, therefore, you can schedule your FB posts.

And you can attach pics and videos – just like you would doing your regular email.

You have to admit, this is totally cool.  Since we are on e-mail all the time anyway, why not use it to do our FB updating and scheduling.

I’m sure there are some who knew about this for a long time.

For those us who just discovered it – Cheers!
