This post goes over how to schedule posts on Stocktwits.
Stocktwits is a real-time social network for investors and traders. It is the largest social network for finance.
Many Stocktwits users would like to be able to schedule their posts for the future, rather than publishing all their posts in a short amount of time.
OneUp is a social media scheduling tool that supports Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google My Business AND… Stocktwits.
How to schedule a post on Stocktwits
On the Accounts page of OneUp, you can connect your Stocktwits account (under Advanced Settings):
Then click “Create a post”:
Select your Stocktwits account, then type in your post. Just like on Stocktwits, you can add cashtags to your post by adding a “$” followed by a ticker symbol.
Then optionally add an image to your post, and choose whether you want it to publish once, or to automatically repeat.
After, you can either post it now, or schedule it for a date and time in the future.
Here is how the post looks once it’s published on Stocktwits:
Check out OneUp to schedule your Stocktwits posts.
This blog post shows you how to turn off retweets from your timeline.
Twitter can be great. However, Twitter can be annoying when all you see is retweet after retweet in your timeline. You’re reading this because you just want to see original tweets, and not see any retweets in your timeline.
Here are the steps to do so:
How to mute retweets from your timeline on Twitter
On Twitter, go to “Settings”, then “Privacy and safety”
Then click “Mute and block”
Click “Muted words”
Click the “+” icon
Add “RT @” as the phrase
Click “Save”
Enjoy your Twitter timeline with no retweets clogging your feed
Here is how to mute retweets screenshot by screenshot
Click the “+” iconAdd “RT @” as the phrase, then click “Save”
Why does it work?
Behind the scenes, Twitter sees native retweets like original retweets. If you take a look at a native retweet through Twitter’s API, you will see that the full_text starts with “RT @username”. Because of this, we can filter them through with the “RT @” phrase.
Enjoy your Twitter timeline without all the retweets 😊

Here was how to post to Instagram from a computer prior to October 2021:
This post shows you how to post on Instagram from a desktop computer, laptop, Mac, or PC for free in 2021.
Instagram does not let you post pictures directly to their website from a web browser on a desktop computer, laptop, Mac, or PC – but there is a way around it 🤓
Sure, you can email yourself photos, open up the email on your phone, save the photos, then post them on the Instagram app. However, that can get annoying quickly.
The solution: Most browsers have a way of letting you change the way a website shows to you. So even if you are on a laptop or desktop, you can have a website like Instagram show you the mobile version of the website, which will allow you to schedule Instagram posts from a computer – for free.
That is what we are going to do 😊
If you want to schedule Instagram posts for the future from a computer FOR FREE, scroll to the bottom of this article.

Reddit is full of subreddits. Some subreddits are great, some subreddits are terrible. Here is a list to help you find the top 17 best subreddits on Reddit.
In no particular order, here are some of the top subreddits on Reddit:
The most watched YouTube video of all time is Despacito by Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee. The video has over 6.8 Billion views on YouTube.
Despacito’s became the most watched YouTube video ever in 2017, showing that YouTube and the music video industry are more popular than they have ever been. For a long period of time, nobody thought Gangnam Style would ever be overtaken.
It also shows how YouTube has become a phenomenon globally. Despacito, which means “Slowly” in Spanish, is sung by Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi in Spanish, and also features Puerto Rican rapper Daddy Yankee.
Despacito topped the charts of 47 countries and entered the Top 10 in ten others. It was the first song to top the Billboard 100 in Spanish in 20 years.
A few months later, Justin Bieber came out with a remixed version of Despacito, where he sang some lines in English. This most likely helped the original version’s popularity, but it didn’t overtake it or enter the YouTube Most Viewed charts.
Despacito became the first YouTube video to ever hit three billion views. It overtook See You Again by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth to become YouTube’s most watched video ever in August of 2017.
Facebook recently made some changes and removed the ability to schedule posts directly on Facebook pages.
NOTE: This post is about scheduling posts to a Facebook Page. If you are looking to schedule posts to a personal Facebook Profile, check out this post instead.
To schedule posts on your Facebook page, you now need to go to the Publishing Tools section of your Facebook page.
To find the Publishing Tools section, look on your Facebook page’s navigation sidebar:
Once there, click “Posts & Stories” in the left sidebar:
Then click “Create Post” in the top right corner:
Then create your post and choose “Schedule Post” in the dropdown arrow.
That’s it! Your Facebook page post is now scheduled.
Note: Facebook does NOT allow you to schedule posts more than 75 days into the future.
Alternative ways to schedule your Facebook page posts:
Use Creator Studio. You can schedule posts on Facebook and Instagram using Facebook’s Creator Studio (still has the same 75 day limitation though)
Use a social media scheduling tool (allows you to schedule posts MORE than 75 days into the future 😊)
