Social Media Management – Use one site to update all your social media

Most of you understand the importance of social media marketing for your business. You also know that social media can be very time consuming if you want to do it properly. That is why it’s important to implement automation for social media management. This article will focus on how you can use one site to update all your social media platforms.

You can sign up for a free ping.fm account combined with a HootSuite account, and easily pre-schedule your tweets, updates etc. and update all your networks in one fell swoop.  You can do it using a PC and a browser or you can do it from your mobile device. You can update to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and more social networks.

Another program that allows you to update all your social media networks at once is called yoono. This is a program that can be added to your Firefox browser as an add-on tool. You can automatically view and update your social networks with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Yahoo and others. It does not have as many networks available as ping.fm, but it looks promising as they plan to add more social media networks eventually.

Social aggregators aren’t new; they’ve been around as long as social media has been around. You’ll find free aggregators, and premium fee based services. It is recommended to choose a popular one that is widely used that you know will be around for time to come.

Social media management and automation tactics takes time to set it up, but the time you save by using it regularly, makes it worthwhile. Proper social media management also puts you in a position to outsource much of the work to a Virtual Assistant, like I do. It will prevent wasting time from duplicating tasks. It will also contribute to giving your business an integrated communications marketing presence on the internet.
