You want to share a brand or media outlet’s Facebook status update but you want it to look natural. You also want to optimize that share for when your audience is online. What do you do?
First
Find the post you want to share and click on the “time” hyperlink just below the page’s name on the post.
Second
You will be taken to the direct URL for that post. Copy that URL and head to your own Facebook page.
Third
Paste the copied URL into the status update box and add any custom text you plan to utilize. Then click the dropdown arrow next to the “Publish” button and select “Schedule” from the menu.
Fourth
Choose the date and time you would like the post to go live from the pop-up menu and click “Publish” when you’re done.
Fifth
You’re all set. You’ll now see that you’ve got upcoming scheduled posts queued when looking at your Facebook page’s home view. If you need to edit the post or the schedule, simply click on “See Post” in the highlighted area below.
