You may wonder what’s the big deal with Buffer. Buffer allows you to schedule your posts in specific time intervals. This is great for maximizing the best possible reach for your posts, and at the same time, helping you to “buffer” your posts so as not to appear spam-y.

Check out Buffer on the web or download it from the Google Play Store for free.
