Managing all the chaos of social conversations on mulitple platforms can be overwhelming for the newer social media adopter, unless you find a way to maximize your time and minimize your efforts. Better still, is when you have tools that your team or an outsourced partner can manage, virtually.
Hootsuite.com is one such tool. The beauty of the tool: never needing to give away your password, while allowing others to have access to your networks. When associates leave or you hire a new firm, your account access remains in tact.
Here’s the skinny on what you can do with it:
Lots of great features, but for now, I want to highlight two in the video below:
- Adding team members
- Adding a Facebook page
- Seaching a hastag and adding it as a stream
- I also want to show how to post and track that, so I’ll schedule a post, but come back tomorrow for tracking and stats…
Watch this little video for a how-to…(more to come later):
So, why not get started with adding all of your streams today. Schedule a few posts in advance, such as:
- Great article you found
- Greetings to new community members
- Reminders about upcoming events
- Promotion of another community member
- RT’s and favorited posts
Save the real time interaction for when you have time, and are focused on the community.
