Frequently asked questions
10 questions
Are these resources really free?
Yes. The blog, guides, templates and tools need no sign-up and no e-mail address.
Do I need PostRoost to use the templates?
No. They open in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice or any PDF reader. The calendar template's posting columns also match PostRoost's bulk upload if you use it.
What is the difference between the blog and the guides?
Guides are evergreen how-tos for core tasks such as approvals and monthly planning. Blog articles are dated pieces on strategy, agency operations, reporting, AI and network changes.
Can I use the templates with my clients?
Yes. Download them, adapt them and use them in your client work. The example content inside is fictional, so replace it before sharing.
Do the free tools store what I type?
No. The character counter, engagement rate calculator and UTM builder run in your browser, and nothing you type is sent to us.
Are the network limits in your articles up to date?
Pages that cite network limits show the date we checked them and link to the network's own documentation. Networks change their rules, so check the source before relying on a number.
Which tools are available?
A character counter for seven networks, an engagement rate calculator and a UTM link builder.
