Sign-up using one of your social
media accounts (ex. Facebook)

Click Facebook and it creates
the account for you.

browser

Through the web browser

Once you have set up your
hootsuite account

You can download the app to
your iphone,

to your android phone, ipad or
other tablet

tools on those mobility
applications.

You can start connecting all
your different social media
assets.

social media accounts

social media accounts,

it costs $10 a month
(Business version)

network

network

This Dialogue Box pops up

and shows you social media
networks you can sign-on

Not all social networks are
Publishing Apps

But Tweeter, Facebook,
Google+ and Linkedin

are able to publish straight from
hootsuite

Other apps like Pinterest and
Instagram

You can only MONITOR the
activity in there.

Tweeter and Facebook
are the most popular networks
so

page

Where hootsuite creates a New
Tab

So this is my Dashboard

You can Edit the name of the
Tab by clicking on it

And you can Add the different
Streams

We can organize everything into
Streams under a specific Client

hootsuite will organize your
different activities under
different streams.

For example, on the Home feed,

you’ll have all updates from
people you follow

And right next to it I’ve added a
Mentions stream

Mentions
shows that people mention you.

It’s a good practice that people
are mentioning you

so if I need to post something
about my business,

I know about it and I can
respond to it or

I’m at least aware that people
are talking about me.

To Add a Stream, Click Add
Stream

Once you’ve added a Stream,

you can manage who exactly to
follow

You can also add a stream from here

You can browse Apps

and connect Apps like
Instagram, click on it

so it can be added,

then click Get more apps

You can also add Mailchimp
and Evernote, etc.

and lot more you can do

But let’s go back to what we
want to use hootsuite for

which is
Scheduling

Hootsuite offers a Hootlet

Go to Tools

Then click on Install Extension
under Extensions and Downloads

Then this page opens

Click Add to Chrome

Then click Add

to complete the installation for
Google Chrome

Hootsuite has been added to
Chrome.

What that’s going to do is

For example, lets go to my
favorite usana.com

Then I see an article I would
like to Add

Click on the Hootlet

And it populates the article
automatically

Without me having to add the
link

Though I can add the link if I
want to

So select the social networks to
publish this to

I select my Tweeter and
Facebook page

Then Schedule

Hootsuite has an Auto- scheduler

So Hootsuite will select the optimum
time for your post

Though it may schedule it out random
times per day

But it won’t be everyday

You can also select the Day

Select the Time

Check the Box so hootsuite will
email you

when the Post is sent out
