Log in to https://www.facebook.com. If you're not already signed in, follow the on-screen instructions to do so now. Facebook does not let you schedule posts for your personal account. You can only schedule posts for a Page you manage. Pages are usually used for businesses, organizations, blogs, and public figures.
Click Pages. It's the option with an orange flag in the left menu. If you haven't already made a Page, you can do so by clicking + Create New Page in the left menu after clicking Pages.
Click your Page. Pages you manage appear in the left panel under the "Pages" header.
Click Publishing Tools. It's in the left panel toward the bottom.
Click Create post. It's the blue button at the top-left corner of the existing posts.
Compose your post. Type the post as you'd like it to appear in the "Write something" field. You can add photos, tags, emoji, and anything else you wish.
Click the down-arrow next to "Publish." It's at the bottom-right corner of the window. A menu will expand.
Click Schedule Post in the menu. This opens the Schedule Post window.
Select a date and time for the post to appear on the Page. Click today's date to bring up a calendar that lets you choose a date in the future (if applicable), and the current time to choose a different time. The date and time you select are in your own time zone. The soonest you can schedule a post is 20 minutes from now. You can schedule posts up to 75 days in advance. Make sure to select AM or PM as needed.
Click Save to save your scheduled post. It's the blue button at the bottom-right corner of the pop-up window. Your post is now scheduled to appear on your Page's news feed at the selected date and time. If you change your mind about the scheduling the post, you can return to the Publishing Tools page, select Scheduled Posts in the left panel, and click the down-arrow next to the post for other options (Publish, Reschedule, or Cancel).
