Hi Friend,

You know that publishing consistently on social media is important for building your audience and growing your business. Scheduling content helps you do that without spending all your time on all the platforms. But what if you don't have the budget for a fancy scheduling tool? I highly recommend Buffer. With a free account, you can schedule up to 10 posts on up to 3 channels. But that's not all Buffer can do for you. Check out their other helpful features in "Tool of the Week."

Now here’s this week’s roundup.

Tool of the Week

Highlights From Madalyn's X Feed

Finally! We can now pin Communities to the top of our home feed.

Have you ever wondered how to align your personal and business brands? We discussed that - and so much more - in our X profile reviews Space. Click here to check out my written recap and listen to the replay.

Making sense of the fast-changing social media landscape can be challenging. Let me help you hone in on the strategies that make sense for you.

Upcoming Spaces

You can easily access my upcoming audio conversations as well as the past ones via Spaces Dashboard. Tap on this link to get started. At the top right, you’ll see a green button that says “Set Up Alert.” This is a brand new feature that will send an email notification whenever I go live. Below that you'll see the ones I host, co-host, and spoke in. You can listen to replays of past conversations and also add upcoming ones to your calendar.

Before I Go...

What other tools do you think I should spotlight in future issues? I'm always open to suggestions!
