Hootsuite Alternatives Provide Small Business Assistance

 

HootSuite was certainly the first well-known multi-social media management tool to be developed and used by small and large businesses, making its debut in 2008. While it’s a great platform for various reasons, there are also some features that can be problematic for some. One of the biggest downsides to HootSuite is the cost for its more professional features – fifty bucks a month per analytics report after the monthly free one; and using more than 10 team members starts at 18 G’s a year.  You could buy a brand new car for that kind of money. Also, Facebook post audience responses- such as likes, comments and shares – cannot be tracked or credited by Facebook Insights when posts are made from HootSuite. Additionally, in my opinion and personal experience, HootSuite isn’t all that user-friendly. It takes a while to figure out how to optimize your social media via HootSuite features – even more so, if you pay for social media analysis and tracking.  We all know time is money, so if you have a social media management team – all who need to learn how to use it- then it’s going to cost you even more. This isn’t a HootSuite-bashing blog post — HootSuite is great in a lot of ways and ideal for a lot of people.  For smaller businesses and individuals, though, there are Hootsuite alternatives that could work much better for you.

best app on the iPhone

You can tell a lot about someone after looking at what apps they have on their phone.

So, I was looking at my iPhone today and I noticed I only have two games on it. Angry birds and Words with Friends.

Now that you know I only have two games on my iPhone, you have probably come to the conclusion that I hate fun.

I have 11 twitter apps, but I only use one. Hootsuite. It’s what works for me. I guess I’m saving the rest just for fun.

I have tons of video and photo apps that I never use. I really can’t remember the last time I used something besides the “Camera” app.

My favorite app of all would have to be Evernote. It’s my life saver.

The YouVersion Bible application is pretty awesome as well. I say this because I am so holy. 😉

Besides the apps that come on the iPhone, these are really the only extras.

Maybe I need some new ones.

What app(s) do you use the most?
