I signed up for Buffer two days before this was published. Thanks for both validating my decision and for providing a few tips on features that I had not yet taken the time to discover.
Thanks Steve. 10 minutes later and I scheduled my first Facebook post on Buffer. I'm a long-time Hootsuite user, but I've switched thanks to you. Tomorrow I'll post for the rest of the week. No more slaving to the clock. You're the best!
Steve, your videos shine brightly compared to your competitors, many of whom don't prepare. Your videos are always well-thought out and informative. Keep up the stupendous work!
This app is awesome. I've been using Hootsuite for a couple years but all I could do is post to my Facebook page. Buffer allows me to use Feedly to view my blogs, and click the "Buffer" button to schedule a post for later. This is something I see a lot of potential with.
Thank you for this video, as I am seeking to begin using Buffer for helping make our social media communication more efficient. All of your videos have been incredibly helpful to me, especially the tips you have shared about Gmail integration with other apps like Todoist, Boomerang Calendar, using filters, etc. The one video you did regarding Google Forms was REALLY helpful to me for creating a VBS registration form for our church. Thank you again and I'm a subscriber to your channel and newsletter too.
Buffer is great been using it for years. I just love hearing Steve talk about tech that even if I already use the app I'll still watch the video and I'm still astonished at how much I learn. I did not know Buffer was available on the web and the interface looks great. At 4:53 I'm wondering if that screen allows you to choose the thumbnail that is displayed with the link on Twitter for example how people create clickbait links. I don't condone this behavior, but I would like some control over the thumbnail that is displayed on links posted on Twitter because around 90% of the time the thumbnail isn't a good one or it doesn't display anything at all. That I do believe effects how many people actually view the post instead of scrolling past it. Keep up the great work Steve.
Steve! I used to watch DottoTech on Access years ago. Happy to see you're still in the game and putting out fantastic, educational content. TH-cam is a great platform for you. Loved the video. Was considering hootsuite but will give Buffer a try.
Hi Steve ..I m from india .. I wanna to become buffer business partner to sale this tool to all over India. Please help me to do the same. Let me guide how to shakehand with buffer . Reg Anuj Kumar Sen , Debug , India
Thank you for making this video - we are thinking of using Buffer and your video convinced us of it. I also have a question for you... we love the screen capture video you have in this video with just your outline as you switch between screens - how did you do that? We would love to have some of our own training videos for students in our wisdom campus, and for staff training videos. Thank you so much for the great video on Buffer!
Really Love your input here...I am learning how to use buffer and I found your video to be the best one I saw on this subject so far! And I watched dozens!
Great video, Steve. I like that you didn't just discuss the features, but showed how to apply it in the 'real world'. I've heard a lot about CoSchedule lately and people switching from Buffer to CoSchedule. Do you any thoughts on the matter?
One thing to look at would be the free to try on Buffer. I have only used Buffer. Does what it says for free for life, but it is limited I think to a queue of 10 posts. Sometimes I have a lot of ideas that I write in there for tweets that I don't want to overload my followers with at the same time. It gets pretty loaded constantly and I'm not a daily user of Twitter or anything. That considered Buffer is great, but it is a trial app that must be paid for to enjoy the full version.
Ha, my wife and I were just talking about it. It's perfectly goofy with the style of his glasses and hair ~ Branding! Oops, I didn't/don't mean 'goofy' as in a bad thing...
I like Steve's look - it reflects his charm and inner hipster. I was just looking at his old videos and I think that Steve 's style has gone up a notch along with the look of his video's. Btw it takes courage to put yourself out there - Let's stay kind to those that are providing so much value for FREE.
Thanks for going through Buffer. Seems like a great tool. The one single tool that I wished they had was the Recycle Tool that PostPlanner Has. What other services duplicate the Recycle feature?
Gladys Jeannette Screenflow is my guess. He's done a number of videos as to how he uses the program to create his videos. It's about -100 dollars on Mac-pcs can use Camtasia (they have it on the max too). Camtasia unfortunately is 300 dollars on Pc (cheaper on Mac and works the same). There is also Capto which is 30 or so dollars. I hope that helps!
Hey Steve, Great video as clear and complete as usually. But I was wonder what about some content that will be create 100% by myself ? Buffer will support also the scheduling of my posts ?
Hi Steve, thanks for the video. Question, back in November you did a comparison video with Hootsuite, Sprout Social, and Agora. Didn't mention Buffer so is Buffer new to you and why do you prefer it to the other managers you mentioned? Thanks!
That video included a comparison from Ian Anderson Grey, he included Sprout in his post. I have never used Sprout. I covered AgoraPulse andHootsuitre in that video, but not Buffer because it was looking at more full featured dashboards, Buffer is only a curation tool in my setup, and has been for a few years.
Hi Steve, I couldn't find an appropriate video to post this question on, but I really need some guidance on this one. Is there a way to track how many times you liked a specific Instagram account's photos? This is most relevant for an affiliate program my wife is part of and we need an efficient way to do that.
Hi Steve, Very nice video. Did I understand the free option correctly...for example, could I take my one Twitter account that I devote to Tech news and "facilitate" that single Twitter account via Buffer for free?
Rad Sam Stone Hi, I have a question for you! about two month ago, Linkedin warned me of using buffer and if I dont remove it from my chrom extension, my page will be bloked How can you use such social media fast post applications without recieving any caution from linkedin?
Ok, but I don' get it...once you do all the things you just showed, what is next? I mean then the Buffer is posting those things that you scheduled by itself or what? I am sorry if this is stupid question, but I am super new in all of those digital things so I have no clue how it woks, but would love to learn it :). Thanks for answer and have a great day :)
Please tell me, can I manage multiple Twitter and Linkedin accounts from one of the paid versions? I still couldn't figure this out. Thanks in advance! great video!
Question! When I'm setting my account on Buffer for the first time I want to sign up with my Admin Facebook Username & Password or I want to set up the account with my actual managed page Username ? Because, I manage two Facebook business pages, I don't have separate passwords for them. Both business pages are accessed through my personal Admin Username & Password details in order to gain access and post to the two business pages. And then also, if I do sign up with my personal Admin details, what happens when I want to post to each one of my business pages separately? How does that work through the Buffer platform ? ? Please, clarify!
What are your thoughts on eClincher? That's what I'm using right now. I've recently decided to subscribe, but I'm still looking for opinions. Right now I feel it's a great tool with an awesome pricing. However I don't seem to get many reviews on it. Hope to hear back from you!
I wanted to learn how use Buffr but Steve's screen looks different than the buffr I have in front of me. I still can't use mine. Steve's video doesn't work for me so far
Steve, great video. What tool are you using to get your mobile device recorded on the screen (toward the end of the video)? We have developed a time and billing application, Mango Billing (mangobilling.com) and are starting video production for tutorials etc. I need to also screen record the mobile app so it would be helpful to know. Thanks in advance if you could share!
There are several ways, I use Screenflow on a Mac, but you can ue Camtasia on a PC. We have a tutorial on how we do our videos.... dottotechu.thinkific.com/courses/publishing-online-video-in-less-time-than-a-blog

Great informative insight Steve, thanks 🙌
Quite Informative..............Good Presentation.............
Great video, I keep coming back to it, great intro to buffer, thx!
Steve...your beard is taking on a life of its own. Have you named it yet? ;-)
Ha, my wife and I were just talking about it. It's perfectly goofy with the style of his glasses and hair ~ Branding! Oops, I didn't/don't mean 'goofy' as in a bad thing...

No, but it should have a name, do you have a suggestion?
It is kind of amazing how people are on one side or the other when it comes to the beard!
I like you!
Hi Steve, one of the best tec videos I've seen for a long time. Very well done! Awesome explained, great sound, great video, awesome guy! Thanks!
Thanks for the video! Awesome content and very useful
Great Video. Thanks for sharing about Buffer. Looking forward to giving it a test run
Thanks for going through Buffer. Seems like a great tool. The one single tool that I wished they had was the Recycle Tool that PostPlanner Has. What other services duplicate the Recycle feature?
Do you mean the reposting of past tweets? Most facilitate that in one way or the other.
Loved your video as I'm considering Buffer! Thanks from Hawaii!
your very smart guy hello from colombia super video
Great Video Steve¡¡..... Saludos from Mexico City
Thanks! Very helpful, we are starting to use social media and this Buffer app will help a lot!

But I was wonder what about some content that will be create 100% by myself ?

It will
Do you provide webinar/content setup services for outside businesses?
You do a *great* job of explaining this. Thank you.
Nice Video, Thanks for sharing this!
Very useful! thanks!
Great Video Thanks!
So happy I found you! Thank you for all the great information and making me not feel so dumb ;-)
I use Socialimbic, great social media management tool. Cost much less.
Thanks bro... Very good video, I learned here.
Are you still using Buffer in 2021?
Looking to use this for my social media channel though.
Great info! Thanks for sharing!
Very informative. Thank You!

Is there a way to track how many times you liked a specific Instagram account's photos? This is most relevant for an affiliate program my wife is part of and we need an efficient way to do that.
I have no idea, perhaps a social dashboard like Agorapulse could add a report, but I am not aware of any way for individuals to to it.
Thanks for the useful video Santa! I mean uh... ;)
Steve, great videos, thanks. Can you share which mic you are using at the moment? Thanks
I use the ElectraVoice RE20, Here is a full list
dottotech.com/toolkit/
What is the name of the software or tool you use for your videos?
Hi Steve, Very nice video. Did I understand the free option correctly...for example, could I take my one Twitter account that I devote to Tech news and "facilitate" that single Twitter account via Buffer for free?
Great info Thanks. Solved a lot for me. :)

Yes Buffer then posts for you. It "buffers" your posts and sends them on a schedule
Great, thanks for this very clear and undertsandable explanation. From a postion of a begginer, it's great. Thanks :)
Awesome tutorial....already started my RSS feeds.
Do you have an update or any new tips since this video was made? I am already seeing engagement up in 24hours.
Steve, are you demonstrating the upgrade or Pro version? I cant find the “content” tab on the free version. Thanks for the informative video!
Why don't you use TweetDeck for scheduling tweets?
I like your videos. Thanks.
Cool, clear, helpful!
incredible content, i rarely subscribe but you earned it man!
Hey Steve, which plan are you on?
Hashatory is worth a try.
I noticed the analytics for your posts are high for "potential", but the '"retweets, likes, mentions and clicks" are very low. Why?
I have no idea! Now you have me depressed.
The potential is merely the number of people who are following myself plus the people who have shared or re-tweeted the content.
For affiliate websites what platform do you recommend?
I am not a fan of any of them. I guess if I had to pick one I would say Has Offers has a decent interface.
Now its free for 3 Social accounts :D :D :D goooodd
How many posts can I buffer? Is it possible to buffer for a whole week? Thx!
Yep you can buffer further than a week.
Great work!
Thank you Steve this was so helpful
Thanks so much
👍
Please tell me, can I manage multiple Twitter and Linkedin accounts from one of the paid versions? I still couldn't figure this out. Thanks in advance! great video!
Sure you can! Just set up the accounts in the account manager
Hey Steve,, Seeing if you have an updated version of this video. I need a platform to help me post to all platforms...
Check Agorapulse I have a video on it and there’s some other good resources on TH-cam
@@dottotech Thanks, Checked out Hootsuite... Social Sprout and Buffer on monday and tuesday... will demo this today...
Hello there. A very quickly question: can I use buffer to schedule TH-cam videos? Is there a way to integrate them?
No, not for publishing to youtube. Sharing TH-cam videos in other platforms yes, but not publishing.
Question! When I'm setting my account on Buffer for the first time I want to sign up with my Admin Facebook Username & Password or I want to set up the account with my actual managed page Username ? Because, I manage two Facebook business pages, I don't have separate passwords for them. Both business pages are accessed through my personal Admin Username & Password details in order to gain access and post to the two business pages. And then also, if I do sign up with my personal Admin details, what happens when I want to post to each one of my business pages separately? How does that work through the Buffer platform ? ? Please, clarify!
Very helpful, thanks a lot
can you uses Buffer or any other app, to pre post on a facebook event? I uses Hootsuite but not finding how to use it on an event.
Not specifically events as far as I know
What are your thoughts on eClincher? That's what I'm using right now. I've recently decided to subscribe, but I'm still looking for opinions. Right now I feel it's a great tool with an awesome pricing. However I don't seem to get many reviews on it. Hope to hear back from you!
I have not used it, the combination of AgoraPulse and Buffer is my setup.
eClincher looks to have a good suite of capabilitiesies
I wanted to learn how use Buffr but Steve's screen looks different than the buffr I have in front of me. I still can't use mine. Steve's video doesn't work for me so far
You should check out the tutorials offered by Buffer themselves, far more accurate than mine.
Excellent!!
Hi Steve, still using Buffer???
When you repost or rebuffer posts, do people notice if you do?
Not often
Steve how do I get BuzzSumo for free. Is the trail version only option? $80/month is steep for one person shop.
You can only get the trial for free.
Hi ..
Will get banned or have issues for auto posting on Instagram ??
i am making a app like this in my final year project .... but its is fully free booom
Steve, great video. What tool are you using to get your mobile device recorded on the screen (toward the end of the video)? We have developed a time and billing application, Mango Billing (mangobilling.com) and are starting video production for tutorials etc. I need to also screen record the mobile app so it would be helpful to know. Thanks in advance if you could share!
There are several ways, I use Screenflow on a Mac, but you can ue Camtasia on a PC.
We have a tutorial on how we do our videos....

No, it looks pretty interesting
UPDATE: Unfortunately there's no longer a free to try anything! 😦
