When this article was first posted Twitter was experimenting with letting users schedule tweets on their Web app. I was lucky enough to be part of that experiment but like most people, you likely were not.
 
Having a great way to schedule tweets, share your thoughts, and get your brand’s message out there is vital to growing an online presence. It’s something you should be quite invested in, and lucky for you, there are several great alternatives for you to consider.
 
Going forward we’ll keep you up to date with all things Twitter (including tweet scheduling and automation) but for now, we are going to explore two ways you could be scheduling tweets, getting the most out of your Twitter and conquering that almighty time suck.
 
So, what are your options?
 
First, we’ll look at Tweetdeck, and then we’ll go through why you should consider a paid option, in the form of Hypefury.
 
Tweetdeck is the official Twitter app designed to help you share your tweets a little bit easier (to be honest, we’re spoilt). It gives you command over many different timelines and you set it all up whichever way works best for you.
 
A tweet scheduler should give you a moment’s rest from your Twitter and but with TweetDeck that doesn’t quite happen. The app is just one more way to spend time on Twitter. No surprise there, it is designed by Twitter after all. Slightly counter-intuitive but, oh well.
 
Hypefury on the other hand aims to make your Twitter experience as rewarding as possible. And this is no crummy sales pitch stuff. If you’re looking to up your productivity, get more engagement, or size up your Twitter real estate then it’s a no-brainer. You can sign up for a free trial here or at the bottom, either way, you won’t regret it.
 
For now, let’s get after it.
 

Scheduling tweets with Tweetdeck

Scheduling tweets is a pretty straight forward experience, with TweetDeck you head over to tweetdeck.twitter.com or download the Windows or Mac apps.

Once you’ve gone through the app setup you log in using your credentials and BOOM! Just like that, you are scheduling tweets.

Here’s how you get it done.

  1. Click on the + sign on the top left to open the dialog box to create a new tweet.

2. Compose your tweet

3. Click the schedule button and select a time and date for the post.

4. Click on the “tweet at [date]” button to finish scheduling your tweet.

5. Once scheduled Tweetdeck will create a new window allowing you to view your scheduled posts.

And that’s it.

That’s how you schedule tweets on TweetDeck and it’s all completely free.

 

Scheduling quote RT’s

One pretty neat trick TweetDeck’s got to offer is the quoted retweet function. It’s pretty cool if you come across a tweet you’d like to comment on but also want to share with your audience to maximize your benefit.

The quote retweet option will let you retweet the original post but also give you the option to select when that retweet will be shared.

schedule quoted tweet

What are the drawbacks?

Besides being designed to have you end up spending your whole day on Twitter, what else isn’t so great? There isn’t a whole lot but there are some glaring issues.

Firstly, you’d think one step up from scheduling tweets would be scheduling threads but apparently, it’s not. The guys over at Twitter don’t seem to think that’s scheduling threads is part of the natural progression of a tweet scheduler. For now, it’s a tweet at a time and that’s it. I could write a whole thread about why that’s just wrong but I wouldn’t be using TweetDeck.

Just one more issue, call it an observation. If you’re after engagement for your tweets then keeping them in circulation is a must, especially with the algo trying to stick it to you. Giving your content a second life with automatic retweets and scheduling retweets is a must if you’re going to amp up your account but apparently, that’s one luxury too many (maybe not so spoilt after all).

TweetDeck won’t let you automatically retweet content or schedule retweets for your content, and in our books, that’s no bueno. 

How to schedule tweets on mobile?

The short answer is: you can’t. Tweetdeck isn’t available on mobile and neither can you schedule tweets in the native Twitter app. 

You can use Hypefury to schedule tweets AND threads on mobile. You can go to app.hypefury.com on your mobile and just login with your Twitter account. 

Enter Hypefury

Hypefury is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a lot of energy, hype, and impact all for your Twitter account.

If you’re serious about this thing called Twitter then Hypefury is where you want to be pumping out your content from.

The thing is most people are on Twitter just consuming stuff. If you’re a content creator that’s a great thing, and you have to be able to take advantage of all the likes, comments, and retweets people have to give.

Once you’ve logged in with your Twitter details you’ll land at the dashboard and you can start churning out that premium content your followers love right away.

The straightforward UI makes it one of the best, if not the best scheduler you’ll ever come across. Personally i like to use Hypefury in dark mode just because the steely black and blue gets me in the mood to drum out tweets but you can choose to go for the cool and clean white if that’s what gets your gears turning. You can easily whichever mode you are in the mood for by going into your settings and changing between modes.

And here is how the magic happens;

  1. Click on “What would you like to share?”

2. The composer will pop up allowing you to create a post.

Once you’ve got your time and locked in, you scroll to the bottom of the composer and choose whether you want to post directly to Twitter, save the post to your drafts or add it to your queue of tweets.

scheduling via drafts

You can also choose to schedule your tweets from the drafts tab by clicking on “Compose a Draft” and creating your post. Once you’re done you can just save the draft for later or add it to your queue of tweets ready for posting.

You also get the option to share your post to your Instagram using the insta-shot feature.

Unlike most other schedulers, Hypefury lets you choose if you want your tweets automatically retweeted once they pass your preset engagement thresholds. This will help boost your engagement and it will give your tweets a second life, helping them stay in circulation a lot longer.

You can even choose to add follow up tweets to your main post allowing you sell your products, collect signups, share links and much more once your audience has warmed up to your message.

One more feature that sets Hypefury apart from the rest is its ability to let you schedule threads in a fast and easy way. you just copy whichever text you need to convert into a thread, paste it into the composer and Hypefury will do the rest. Your thread will be converted into a thread allowing you to schedule and post it just like you would a single a tweet.

After your tweets have been scheduled and posted you can take your scheduling a level up and mark your best performing tweets as Evergreen tweets. This will allow us to occasionally retweet your highly engaging or classic content back onto your timeline. Evergreen tweets are proven to increase engagement and they’ll save you from rifling through your tweet library every time you want to share your best content.
