This post goes over how to schedule Facebook Stories.
OneUp allows you to schedule Facebook Stories directly to your Facebook Page:
OneUp also shows you a post preview of how your Facebook Story will look once it’s posted:
In addition to Facebook Stories, OneUp also supports scheduling Facebook posts and Facebook Reels, Instagram (posts, Stories, and Reels), YouTube (including Shorts), TikTok, Pinterest, X, Threads, and Google Business Profiles.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You can only schedule posts to multiple Facebook Groups at the same time if you are the Admin of EVERY SINGLE one of those Facebook Groups.
So you are looking to post to multiple Facebook Groups at the same time.
The first question is, are you trying to post to multiple Facebook Groups that you are only a member of?
Or are you trying to post to multiple Facebook Groups that you are the Admin of?
If you are trying to post to multiple Facebook Groups where you are NOT the Admin, but are just a member, there is no Facebook-approved tool to do this.
Any tools that say they support this are violating Facebook’s terms of service, and will most likely result in your account getting temporarily or permanently banned.
I would recommend either posting manually in the Facebook Groups yourself, or hiring a Virtual Assistant (VA) to do this for you.
OneUp is a Facebook-approved social media scheduling tool that allows you to schedule posts to multiple Facebook Groups at the same time (in addition to Facebook Pages, and other social networks).
HOWEVER, to use OneUp with a Facebook group, you MUST be one of the Group Admins. Facebook does not allow scheduling tools to post to Groups unless you are an Admin.
Using OneUp, you can connect your Facebook Groups and Pages by clicking the Facebook Connect button, then click “Create a post”:
First select which of your Facebook Groups (and/or Facebook Pages) you want to post to:
If you select a Facebook Group, you will see the option to post to the Facebook Group as either your personal profile, or post to the Facebook Group as your Facebook Page. (Note: Your Facebook Page MUST be an Admin of your Facebook Group to post as your Page to the Group)
Next, create your post:
You can add image(s), a video, or GIF to your post. OneUp has both a Canva integration and an Unsplash integration, so you can find and create images for your post, right inside of OneUp 🤓
You can set your post to publish once, or have it automatically repeat at whatever interval you choose:
Once done, you can either post it now to your multiple Facebook Groups (and Facebook Pages), schedule the post for the future, or save it to your Drafts folder.
In OneUp, go to the Accounts page and connect your LinkedIn account(s). You can connect both LinkedIn personal profiles and company pages.
The next step is to click the “Create a post” button:
Once on the Create A Post page, select which LinkedIn accounts you’d like to publish this post to. If you have more than one LinkedIn account, you can choose to post to multiple personal profiles and company pages at the same time.
Then type in or paste in your LinkedIn post, and optionally add a link preview, image, GIF, or video to your post.
You can also @tag any company page in the text box (however tagging of personal profiles isn’t supported by LinkedIn’s API, so it can only be done on LinkedIn itself).
OneUp allows you to add photos, GIFs, or videos directly from your computer, or you can create an image in OneUp’s Canva integration, or choose a professional photo from the Pexels, Pixabay, or Unsplash integration:
Just like on LinkedIn itself, OneUp allows you to add up to 9 images for LinkedIn posts. Document attachments are supported as well.
While you are creating your LinkedIn post in OneUp, you will see a preview of how your post will look once published on LinkedIn:
Then choose whether you’d like to add a First Comment on your LinkedIn post:
If you add a First Comment, it will automatically be added as the first comment on your post whenever the post gets published.
When your post is good to go, in OneUp you can choose to either post it once, or have the post repeat automatically at whatever interval you choose
Example: This LinkedIn post is scheduled to repeat every three weeks.
Then choose to either Post Now, schedule your LinkedIn post for the future, or you can add it to your Drafts, where it will be saved for later.
In addition to LinkedIn, OneUp also supports Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, YouTube, Pinterest, TikTok, and Google My Business.
Does OneUp support multi-image posts to LinkedIn?
Yes, OneUp allows you to add up to 9 images on each LinkedIn post.
Does OneUp support tagging/mentioning in LinkedIn posts?
Yes, you can tag any LinkedIn company page in OneUp by typing “@” and then the company page name. Unfortunately tagging/mentioning personal profiles is not supported by LinkedIn’s API, so it can only be done on LinkedIn directly.
Does OneUp support video posts to LinkedIn?
Yes, OneUp supports video posts to both LinkedIn personal profiles and company pages. Videos will post to both LinkedIn company pages and personal profiles as a native video (meaning it looks the same as if you posted directly from LinkedIn, and it will autoplay 😊).
Does OneUp support adding a First Comment on LinkedIn posts?
Yes, you can add a First Comment on your scheduled LinkedIn posts with OneUp.
Does OneUp support document attachments on LinkedIn posts?
Yes, OneUp supports videos up to 200MB.
Is there a size limit on videos posts by OneUp?
OneUp supports videos up to 200MB.
Does OneUp support GIF posts to LinkedIn?
Yes, OneUp supports GIF posts to both LinkedIn company pages and personal profiles. There is no size limit for GIFs 😊
Does OneUp support hashtags on LinkedIn?
Yes, OneUp supports hashtags in LinkedIn posts.
Does OneUp support scheduling LinkedIn Articles?
No, unfortunately LinkedIn’s API does not allow scheduling tools to schedule Articles, only regular posts are supported.
LinkedIn is often overlooked as a social media marketing channel. With over 706 million users, LinkedIn has become one of the most popular social networks. And best of all, it’s free to use.
If you are selling Business-to-Business (B2B), having a presence on LinkedIn is a must.
A few years ago, LinkedIn may have had a reputation of being boring, stuffy, and impersonal social network.
But that has changed over the past few years. You will now find more personal posts and communication throughout LinkedIn.
On top of that, when you post on LinkedIn, the organic reach of your post has a much higher ceiling.
How many views does your average Facebook post get? If you are like most people, the answer is not many.
With LinkedIn, your posts have the potential to reach thousands, if not tens of thousands.
Why is that?
Well Facebook has 2.6 billion users. If every Facebook user posts just once a day, that is a lot of posts you are competing with. On top of that, Facebook decided to basically require you to Boost your post if you want any reach at all.
However, LinkedIn has a much smaller user base. That means fewer posts published each day, which means less competition for each of your LinkedIn posts.
On top of that, LinkedIn’s algorithm really wants to reward good posts.
LinkedIn wants to shed its reputation of being old and boring, so if you create a post that creates engagement and comments from your followers, LinkedIn’s algorithm will then show your post to thousands of other LinkedIn users.
If the post keeps getting traction in the form of comments and likes, you are on your way to a viral LinkedIn post seen by millions of people potentially.
LinkedIn posts (formerly known as status updates) are the standard way to publish something on LinkedIn. You create them by simply clicking the “Start a post” text box.
LinkedIn articles (formerly know as LinkedIn pulse) are more of a long-form post type, more similar to a blog post.
To create a LinkedIn article, click the “Write article” option.
It will then take you to the LinkedIn article creator.
According to most experts, LinkedIn posts (the first one mentioned above) get you more reach.
However, LinkedIn articles have a longer shelf-life. LinkedIn articles are indexed by search engines, and can be found for months and years into the future by people searching on Google.
Typically, shorter form content should be a post. Posts have a character limit of 1,300, but once you get over 210 characters, it will require people to click the “See more” button to view the entire post.
However, longer LinkedIn posts typically perform better than shorter posts (but keep in mind the 1,300 character limit).
This is normally due to the fact that longer posts provide more value. Shorter LinkedIn posts are usually all fluff or “look at me” type posts.
If what you have to say cannot be written in 1,300 characters or less, then a LinkedIn article is the obvious choice.
Other times a LinkedIn article makes sense instead of a LinkedIn post would be when you have many images or screenshots that you want mixed in throughout your article, such as a “How to” guide.
LinkedIn supports both company pages and personal profiles. You can schedule posts on either using a social media scheduling tool.
However, there is no way to schedule a post directly on LinkedIn for either company pages or personal profiles.
Here are a few of the key differences:
One other difference: LinkedIn makes it easy to comment on other people’s LinkedIn posts as a personal profile, but difficult to comment as a company page. However, there is a way to comment on other people’s LinkedIn posts as a company page (it involves “Community Hashtags”).
You ought to just be posting on LinkedIn about themes that are applicable to you and your niche.
If you work in a marketing related field, keep all your posts about marketing-related topics.
Do not post on LinkedIn about your new cat. That is for Facebook and Instagram.
Here are a couple of rules for posting on LinkedIn:
To keep a predictable presence and to develop your devotees on LinkedIn, it requires posting frequently. Studies recommend that posting on LinkedIn something like once a day is best
But physically posting something on informal organizations like LinkedIn consistently can be difficult.
You neglect, something comes up working, your canine ate your schoolwork, and so forth. There are a lot of reasons that a great many people don’t post on LinkedIn consistently.
To make things considerably more troublesome, LinkedIn doesn’t give a method for booking LinkedIn posts locally. That implies you would have to physically login to LinkedIn each time you need to post something, and preferably do it during top hours.
But you CAN schedule LinkedIn posts. You just need to use a social media scheduling tool, such as OneUp.
When you plan your LinkedIn posts, it empowers you to cluster all your post making into a solitary meeting, instead of attempting to recollect each day.
If you require an hour making LinkedIn posts, you can most likely concocted basically possibly 14 days worth of content for posting on LinkedIn.
The other advantage of utilizing a booking device for LinkedIn posts is that it permits you to plan posts for the ideal time each day.
That implies you don’t really have to be available during those great posting hours, you can simply plan your LinkedIn posts, and know that your posts will distribute during those pinnacle hours each day.
However, even if you plan your LinkedIn posts, it doesn’t mean you can just put everything on autopilot. You actually need to engage and reply to comments that you get on your LinkedIn posts
In 2020, LinkedIn revealed LinkedIn Stories, a feature very similar to Instagram Stories, Facebook Stories, and Snapchat Stories.
However, in 2021, LinkedIn decided to shutdown LinkedIn Stories, so they no longer exist anymore.
LinkedIn Groups have never quite caught on like Facebook Groups, but there are still many large and active LinkedIn Groups.
However, LinkedIn does not provide a way to schedule posts to LinkedIn Groups: There is no way to do it on LinkedIn itself, and LinkedIn’s API does not support it either, meaning no scheduling tools can schedule LinkedIn Group posts.
Typeform is insanely expensive.

It’s a form builder that looks and feels a lot like Typeform:
…but we love Youform because it’s 100% free for UNLIMITED responses.

To schedule a WhatsApp message, you can use a WhatsApp message scheduling tool like OneUp.
OneUp currently supports scheduling Instagram Stories and Reels, TikTok videos, and YouTube Shorts (in addition to Facebook, X, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Threads, and Google Business Profiles).
We will be adding the ability to schedule WhatsApp messages to OneUp in the near future.
If you are interested in scheduling WhatsApp messages with OneUp, please send me (Davis, the co-founder of OneUp) an email at davis@oneupapp.io with the subject line “WhatsApp“.
We will notify you as soon as scheduling WhatsApp messages is supported in OneUp 😊 (and we promise we won’t send you anything else).
The more people that email me about it, the more resources we will put into getting it done faster.
This post goes over what the best image size is for Google My Business (GMB) posts.
Join the Local SEO Community (free to join, over 2,800 members) for in-depth discussions on all things local SEO and Google My Business.
Google My Business posts are a great way to stand out from the competition and help your SEO.
However, many images in GMB posts seem to get cut off when viewed on the search results page.
If you are posting from the GMB dashboard, the best image size for Google My Business (GMB) posts is 1200 x 900 pixels, a 4:3 image ratio.
However, you can scroll down to learn how to get images with different dimensions to post to Google My Business without getting cut off.
Here is a 1200 x 900 image:
And here is what that image looks like in a Google My Business post at the bottom of the GMB listing:
You’ll notice that the bottom part of the image gets cut off in the GMB post:
However, when the post is clicked on and the image is expanded, it shows the full image:
Keep this in mind when you are publishing Google My Business posts that might have important parts of the image in the lower section of the image.
If you publish your Google My Business posts from OneUp, the GMB post scheduling tool, most image sizes publish completely. (more on OneUp at the bottom)
For example, here is a 1200 x 628 image:
If you post it from the GMB dashboard, it gets cut off significantly:
However, if you publish the same image through OneUp, the full image posts perfectly:
Let’s take another example with this 1080 x 1080 image:
When you post this image directly from Google My Business, it cuts off a significant portion from both the top and bottom of the image:
However, that same image posts fully when published through OneUp:
OneUp is a Google My Business post scheduling tool that allows you to schedule and set your Google My Business posts to automatically repeat.
The process is simple. Just connect your Google My Business account on the Accounts page:
Then click “Create a post”.
Then choose which of your Google locations you want to schedule your GMB post to, optionally adding any link or image to the post:
OneUp has a post preview so you can see how your post will look once published.
Then choose your Google post type and add your Call-To-Action button:
OneUp also allows you to choose whether you would like to “Add the image to the Photos section of Google My Business”.
In addition to just scheduling posts, OneUp allows you to set GMB posts to automatically repeat at custom intervals — such as once a week or once a month:
This allows you to reap the benefits of being active on Google My Business, without the hassle of constantly going back in every week to manually post something once your post expires.
Then choose to post it now, or schedule it for a date in the future.
PS OneUp also supports replying directly to Google reviews:
You can even click the “Suggest a reply” button and get an AI-powered suggested reply (which you can edit to your liking before submitting). And the suggested replies work with reviews in ANY language:
What is Threads character limit for each post?
The character limit on Threads is 500.
However, if you need more than 500 characters, you can always add another post to your thread:

What is Threads image limit?
You can add up to 10 images on each post in Threads.

This post goes over how to schedule and publish posts on TikTok with OneUp. And yes, they post DIRECTLY (no need for mobile notifications).
TikTok is one of the fastest-growing social networks. TikTok is a social media platform where people can watch, create, and share video content in real-time.
However, in the TikTok mobile app, there is no way to schedule a TikTok post for the future. You can only post your TikTok videos at that moment.
If you want to schedule TikTok posts for the future, you have 2 options:
If you use TikTok’s scheduler on a web browser, you will see the “Publish at a later date” option while creating your post, but ONLY for Creator and Business accounts (not Personal accounts):
However, TikTok’s scheduler only allows you to schedule videos up to 10 days in advance. If you try to choose a date more than 10 days into the future, it shows those dates as grayed out:
If you want to schedule TikTok videos as far into the future as you’d like, you can schedule TikTok videos using a 3rd-party TikTok scheduling tool like OneUp.
Using OneUp, you can schedule TikTok posts, and it works with all TikTok account types (Personal, Creator, or Business accounts).
Here is how scheduling TikTok posts with OneUp works 👇
Here are those steps with screenshots:
2. Click “Create a post”:
3. Select which TikTok account you want to post to (if you have more than one TikTok account connected):
4. Upload the video you want to schedule to TikTok. OneUp also supports choosing your TikTok thumbnail:
OneUp has a post preview so you can see how your post will look on TikTok once it’s published.
5. Schedule your TikTok video:
That’s it! Your video will then post to TikTok DIRECTLY (no need for mobile notifications).
OneUp also supports Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and YouTube Shorts, so you can schedule to Reels, Shorts, and TikTok all at the same time with OneUp.
In addition, OneUp also supports Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest, which means that a single video can be posted to TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Twitter – all at the same time with OneUp!
If you’re using Meta Business Suite to schedule your Facebook or Instagram posts, you will notice that it does NOT allow you to schedule posts more than 29 days in advance:
This is pretty limiting.
If you want to schedule your Facebook and Instagram posts more than 29 days into the future, you can do so with OneUp.
OneUp is a social media scheduling tool that allows you to schedule posts as far into the future as you want 😊
First, connect your Facebook Page(s) and Instagram account(s) on the Accounts page of OneUp.
OneUp supports Facebook, Instagram, Google Business Profiles, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, and Stocktwits:
Then click “Create a post”.
Choose which Facebook Pages and which Instagram accounts you want to post to. You can choose some or all of your Facebook Pages and Instagram accounts; you just click to select which accounts you want to post to:
Then you add your post, with whatever link and image(s) you would like. OneUp supports up to 10 images on each post, and supports Instagram Reels and Stories, and Facebook Reels.
You can upload your own image, choose from high-quality images via the free Unsplash integration, or create your own image directly inside of OneUp with the Canva integration.
You can also tag Facebook Pages and Instagram accounts while creating your post:
You can also choose to add a first comment to your Instagram and Facebook Page posts, which is helpful for kicking off the comments, or if you want to put a link in your comment rather than in the post itself:
Then you choose whether you want it to be posted once, or whether you want the post to automatically repeat.
If you choose for the post to repeat, you can choose whatever repeating interval you would like. For example, this post will automatically repeat once every 3 months:
Then to finish up, you choose whether you want to post to all your Facebook Pages now, schedule the post for the future, or add the post to your Drafts folder.
And YES, OneUp allows you to schedule your posts as far into the future as you want.

Yes! You can schedule Google My Business (aka GMB, Google Business Profile, or GBP) posts to chains.
In March 2020, Google updated their policy to allow chains to schedule Google posts to their Google Business Profile locations:
Note: In response to coronavirus (COVID-19), chains may now create Posts via the API for a limited time. Posts made by Chains should be related to business updates relevant to coronavirus (COVID-19).
This means that ALL businesses can mass publish Google My Business posts across all of their GMB locations using a scheduling tool like OneUp.
Using OneUp, you can schedule posts to Google My Business to chains.
First, connect your Google My Business location(s) on the Accounts page:
Then click Create A Post.
Then select which GMB locations you would like to post to (if you have more than one connected). You can post to multiple different Google My Business locations at the same time:
Then create your GMB post, and add your image:
You can even click the “Auto-generate caption” button to have your post’s caption automatically written for you.
Then choose whether you would like to also add the image to the Photos section of Google My Business, and choose whether you want the post to be an Update post, an Event post, or an Offer post:
You can also choose “None” if you ONLY want the image to be scheduled to the Photos section of your Google My Business locations – and not publish as a Post.
You can check out the post preview in OneUp to see how your post will look once published on GMB:
OneUp supports all Google My Business CTA button types (Learn More, Call, Book, Sign Up, Order Online, and Buy).
In addition to just scheduling posts, OneUp allows you to set GMB posts to automatically repeat at whatever interval you choose. For example, this post will repeat every week:
Then either post it now, or schedule it for a date in the future, or save your GMB post as a draft.
In addition to scheduling Google My Business posts, OneUp also supports replying to Google My Business reviews:
You can even click the “Suggest a reply” button and get an AI-suggested reply (which you can edit to your liking before submitting). It works for replying to reviews in ANY language:
