How to Link Twitter to Facebook Fast and Easy

How many social media accounts do you have? Are you currently using more than 1 social media account? For example, Facebook and Twitter accounts?

Managing more than one social media account can be a bit of a hassle. Especially for those of you who still want to exist on both social media. If we can’t manage it properly, maybe one of the accounts will be neglected.

To overcome this, we can connect Facebook and Twitter accounts.

If you connect the two social media accounts, you can update the post just once. For example, if you create a status on Facebook, your Twitter account will also update the same status or tweet.
