I agree that it can be overwhelming for beginners. However, as I have mentioned in the article, you can sign up for Hootsuite training. They are excellent video tutorials on how to do any and everything with Hootsuite.

Years ago I did get Hootsuite certified in a month, and it only cost me 21 dollars.

There was an interesting article by Ian Anderson Gray did show 7 reasons on why you might not want to buy Hootsuite. https://iag.me/socialmedia/reviews/7-reasons-not-to-use-hootsuite/ I wanted to show you the pros and cons and then let people decide if it’s right for them.

I personally think HootSuite is a fantastic tool especially for those who have high demands in social media. It can be a complete nightmare trying to manage and update the four major networks alone. Without giving consideration to the remainder networks.

For beginners, I, however, suspect a great deal of overwhelm. In any case, a free account although limiting would probably be ideal. Once he or she became confident then by all means up grade.

Learning how to use HootSuite with a free account will give you a better indication as to whether you required the additional features offered if any at all.

Excellent read Garen, thanks for sharing.

Kind Regards

Michelle

A couple that comes to mind is Sprout Social, Social Studio, TweetDeck, Buffer, Sprinklr, etc.

I actually find a good article that shows more about these different social media management tools:

However, there is a free WordPress plugin which does allow you to auto-post your content on Twitter, Facebook, Google +1, etc. Might want to check into it:

Hope this helps.

Ha! I learned something new today. I had no clue such a program existed but Hootsuite is somewhat genius! I use social media a lot (even though I am out of the loop with things such as Xing, Ning and Scoop.it, what the heck are those?). And I thus spend a lot of time every day posting on different sites. What I put up varies a bit from site to site but nonetheless, there is duplication (I mostly use Facebook, Pinterest and Google +). So to have a program that manages posts and lets me schedule them would be a time saver for me.

I always share my article to most of the popular social media sites that you listed above so I think that with a system like Hootsuite, it would be a much easier process for me to get my content out there easily.

Are there any other similar companies out there like Hootsuite that provides a better or similar service? Or is this the top recommended platform in the industry?

I like comparing services when committing to purchase.

Would love to know your advice.

Kind regards,
Jason.
