Housing Market Social: Post by Hand to Facebook and Instagram
Tutorial 117 of 181 · 2 min 01 s
Facebook and Instagram do not let any tool post to a personal profile or a group, so Housing Market Social cannot post there for you. What it can do is remind you: add your profile or group under Accounts, schedule a post for it like any other, and at the scheduled time you are sent the text and the pictures, ready for you to post yourself. This tutorial adds a personal Facebook profile, schedules a post for it, shows the reminder you receive in Settings, and then marks the post as posted with I posted it.
In this tutorial you will learn
- Why a personal profile or group is posted by hand
- How to add a profile or group under Accounts
- What happens at the scheduled time
- How to tell Housing Market that you posted it
