If you haven’t heard about Edgar in previous years, that’s because it’s still somewhat of a baby. Invitation-only signups went out mid-2014, but the program shows a lot of promise thanks to being backed by Roeder Studios and run by the same Laura Roeder who runs the LKR Social Media firm.
What makes Edgar so unique? Edgar saves all your updates in a library. That way, you don’t have to spend oodles of time developing a brand-spankin’ new social media post for each one you want to schedule. Over time, Edgar categorizes your updates based on the type of post and which social media channels you want to share that post with. You’ll be able to design a social media posting schedule, and then Edgar will post what you want when you want it so that you never run out of updates. But what if you want to schedule a one-time post? Edgar can help you with that, too!
This nifty tool starts at $49/month. Visit MeetEdgar.com to request your invitation.
