How do I install it? (It's free so far, so fear not!)
- It is really easy to sign up! Just head to http://buffer.com and choose between creating an account with your Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn profiles - or yet none of these and simply using your e-mail.
- You will be taken through 4 steps.
- Add social profiles - At this point you can pick two between Twitter, Facebook and LinkenIn (only one if you have already signed up with one of these accounts).
- Confirm your time zone - No big issues here. This is necessary because Buffer allows you to schedule automated posts, so it will follow the selected time zone.
- Select a scheduling option - Choose between one of two options.
- Optimal - By selecting the number of times you want to post per day in a particular social media, it will calculate the ideal times based on engagement. Unless you have very specific necessities, this is the best option!
- Manual - You get to select how many times and when you want your schedule posts to happen.
4. Track sharing - highly recommend it as well. Gives you statistical analysis on the posts shared. You can also integrate it with Google Analytics for even more data and information.

Everybody, who is using social media to share content will benefit from it. It makes it so easy to get your content out. Ever since I read your blog post about it I got more into Buffer and how it works.
Not going to get back to manually sharing it any time soon. :)
Once again, thank you!
