Social Media Management

There are so many social media platforms out there and you may have an account with quite a few of them.  Constantly opening multiple apps and pages to manage your media can be very confusing and inconvenient.  This is why social media management tools like buffer are very handy, whether you are managing social media for a business or maybe just your personal accounts.

The service Buffer, is the social media manager that I would like to talk about in today’s post.  I have just started using this for my personal accounts but I find it very helpful and see the benefits of using it for a business, or organization.  There are a few things that I would like to highlight about using Buffer, and they are:

1.     It allows you to connect with a few different social media accounts.  This will be improved as the program grows, or if you upgrade to a paid version.  The accounts I have linked to it are my Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.  They have not enabled connecting to Google + profiles yet, but it says they are coming soon.

2.   Posts are the next thing I would like to highlight.  They allow you to select which media you would like the message to appear on.  When I typed “I just love Beyoncé”, I selected all three of my synced accounts, so it would post to all.  You can also shorten the links you add to your posts in through this manager, which makes them easier to view and copy. 

3.       Last I would like to highlight that you can schedule when your posts go out.  This can be extremely helpful for mass numbers of accounts for large businesses, or even just people who don’t have a lot of time.

Buffer is a free great way to manage your social media, and there are many other programs like buffer where you may do the same and even more.  If your social media is getting a little too complicated and you have a lot of things going on, using a manager might just be the answer.
