Tech and sanity – You can have both!

Hootsuite -Schedule posts and monitor multiple social networks from one dashboard. Hootsuite is still best in class for managing all accounts in one place. SproutSocial -I prefer Hootsuite’s dashboard but SproutSocial is still a keeper for awesome reports and archiving important posts.

Janet Fouts

Once you’ve got your password you’ll need to update all of the passwords in your trusted 3rd party apps like Buffer, SproutSocial, Hootsuite, etc. Use a tool like Hootsuite or SproutSocial and give access through that if an admin or assistant needs access to post. Start by requesting a password reset.

Social Media – Boon for business or waste of time?

Janet Fouts

Hootsuite allows you to manage your social media profiles and get back some good data to boot. Then decide if more time is warranted. You’ll see what networks work for you and which don’t. Get rid of the ones that don’t or re-assess why it’s not working. Get some good tools.
