HootSuite: Your Social Media Lifeboat

Drowning in a Sea of Social Media? Learn How to Ride the Wave!

Most businesses today are connected to Social Media in some way or another way. Some to the extent that they have a Facebook page, others to the point that they can’t keep track of the different accounts they’re linked to. When you have more than a few social media accounts running, it can become a headache to maintain – not to mention a serious time-vampire. If you feel like you’re drowning in a sea of tabs, feeds, logins and passwords, maybe it’s time to consider HootSuite.

What is HootSuite?

HootSuite is referred to as a Social Media Management tool or platform. In a nutshell, it allows you to manage your various social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc) from one dashboard. Anyone can use HootSuite, but it is particularly useful for streamlining the brand management of your company. It also allows delegation of tasks to different users so that duplication of posts and information across your accounts is easily avoided. It allows for posting to various platforms simultaneously, and also has a nifty (and easy to use) scheduling feature so that you could – in theory – be on a beach somewhere while your social media takes care of itself.
