1. Social Media Training Tip #4
HootSuite Is a Must-Have Tool
Social Media Training – HootSuite is the most important way to create an online dashboard of social media
activity. Do you ever get overwhelmed by all the conversations going on online? Tracking your friends,
keyword searches, Twitter lists, your Facebook news feed, fan page comments, @mentions, direct
messages, and on and on. HootSuite is the one stop shop. You could also use something like TweetDeck
to do pretty much the same thing. They can each post to virtually any of your social media accounts, allow
you to create all the columns you want, attach images and videos, and so much more. They are each
feature rich for sure.
However, I do have a favorite. Mine is HootSuite. Why? HootSuite allows you to create tabs. This way I
can create a tab and have up to 10 columns under each tab. It really helps you navigate through an
amazing amount of information quickly and easily. I also like that it is a web application, so I can easily get
on from anywhere. HootSuite also allows for some of the simplest features to help integrate all your social
media together. It allows one post to automatically spread across almost every social media account you
have. Now when I post on HootSuite, it goes to every social network I choose. And when I post to my blog,
HootSuite automatically spreads the post everywhere I have selected. The set-up for all this was all done in
literally a matter of about 2 minutes. It’s just so easy.
