What is Hootsuite •

Hootsuite is a Social Media Tool used to manage all of your social media profiles from one place while saving a lot of time and effort in the process.

•

Getting started with this is super simple! You can choose to sign up as free member, however i highly recommend you to take a step forward and go for the PRO membership for only 9.95$/ month. Get 30 day free trial, click the button.

•

The advantage of PRO membership is that Hootsuite allows you to integrate unlimited social profiles, gain advanced message scheduling, order analytics reports and many more features that are not present in the free membership.

Configuring the Dashboard • The main dashboard of Hootsuite might be a little frustrating for the newcomer. As you can see i’ve filled all my screen space and still have more networks connected. Each social network has its own tab that you can click and see it plus you can arrange the different type of streams that you want to synchronize.

Add Social Streams • So the next thing for you to do with this Social Media Tool is to connect all your personal social profiles and business pages in order to manage them from the dashboard in one place. You can also choose different streams for each social profile, like inbox, retweets, or even to “hear” when a specific keyword is mentioned by selecting keyword. Monday, June 17, 13

Share Content [Part 1] • Its time for you to try posting a message and see how is this working. So, on your left top there is a message column that you can write your message, underneath there is a placeholder with Hootsuite’s own url shortener (ow.ly) that will shorten your url for analytics purposes. Next to the link placeholder you can find the buttons “Attach File”, “Schedule Message” “Set Location” and “Lock Message”.
