Customize Your Social Media Posts

Customize your Twitter and Facebook postsIt’s okay to share the same message across all your social platforms. You will want to customize them for each network though. Twitter is not Facebook.

You can share folders with clients or not. There is no limit to the number of projects you can create. They offer a free 30-day trial without a credit card needed. This is a tool I use every day and it’s well worth the $29 per month I spend to be able to manage a variety of different projects with my various team members and clients.
