Wow. Is it just me or are all the social media options becoming overwhelming? I could spend hours every day reading, pinning and posting. What's a girl to do who hasn't got the time? POST wisely and take advantage of the tools out there to help you do it. One of my favorite tools is Hootsuite. With a platform like Hootsuite, you can not only view all your "streams" at one location, but you can also plan your posts and not have to keep typing them like a maniac into each network you use. On Hootsuite, current platforms include: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Ping.fm, WordPress, MySpace and mixi. Now, I haven't played with all those yet, but I CAN tell you that I like it very well for what I consider the "trinity" of social media: Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. You can type your post just once and it can be delivered across all the networks. You can also schedule posts so it makes it really nice if you know you have a busy week coming up but don't want to forget your followers. Monday morning, you can set up a post for each day of the week and then move on to your other business. Yes, I KNOW it takes away some of the fun of checking Facebook daily but it WILL save you some time in the end.
Tell me, do you have another multi-social platform that you use? How does it work?
Stay tuned for more information on using Pinterest for business.
Happy posting!
