Use HootSuite to manage, well, everything (ish)

When you first get underway managing social media accounts, many people get overwhelmed at the sheer amount of information they have to look through. Post on Twitter, Facebook, WordPress Comments, and a whole bunch of other stuff can be pretty nuts! Enter HootSuite.
Full disclosure, JuggleMedia is an affiliate of HootSuite only as a reseller of the program. Feel free to click the link to the left and sign-up under us. Same price, only we get a kick-back. Nice transparency huh!?!
HootSuite, all affiliation aside, is the best program that we have found at JuggleMedia to manage your local social media activities around Wichita. It’s a robust (and extremely inexpensive $5.99 per month) program that monitors keywords, tweets, Facebook Posts, Foursquare check-ins as well as the capibility to, er, dare-I-say schedule (GASP) messages. Shh, don’t tell anybody.
When it comes to scheduling messages, I’m going to give you a short speech and then it’s up to you. In a perfect world, I’d never recommend you scheduling messages as social media channels are real-time and important to monitor constantly. NOW, with that said, there’s reality in the small-business world. If you create a social strategy and you have key marketing messages that you’d like to promote at key times, by all means schedule, BUT know when they leave so you can monitor reactions.
Let me know if you have any questions about HootSuite or would like for us to show you how it works. It’s pretty darn cool if you ask me. It works, it’s powerful and we haven’t even gotten into the analytics and custom reports it offers!
