Did you know that Vimeo allows you to make a video private?

Did you know you can schedule your posts to be published at any time in the future? This is a great way to save time. How to use it You can sit down once, right several posts and have them go out later in the week or later in the month. Have an event coming up that you want to announce a week ahead of time?
