What are the best Services according to Reddit?

Not according to this:

https://hootsuite.com/resources/case-study/five-guys-case-study

> The Five Guys online strategy—led by Online Marketing Specialist Kenneth Westling—relies primarily on social media for the bulk of their promotional activities, as well as customer service and public relations. ... > Encourage employee participation on social media

So, yeah.

I run Socialdraft, a social media marketing software for teams and we also are a distributed company. We do hold meetings (Zoom Video Conferences), we do have company hours (we are 24/7 so lots of flex for people in different time zones) and we do work from coffee houses a lot. Personally I think some structure is better then how lots of articles like this are portrayed in the press. It's not living on beach with a laptop but it can be if you plan it right. Lots of our team members are in beach areas, some in bigger cities and few just at home. For us it's what fits into you ideal lifestyle.

We currently are hiring.

When people say "Create great content", it can be frustrating.

Here's an actual "create great content" process:

Find a competitor that seems to rank well and is creating content
Enter their site into http://buzzsumo.com to see which of their content gets the most exposure based on social shares, links, etc. This is how you can start to define "great", at least re: how the market reacts.
Try to spot trends after doing this with a few competitors. For example, if you thought you would write about "How to Do SEO on Your Website" but noticed that competitors get great results with case study style posts (i.e. "The Exact Content Strategy We Used to Boost Organic Search by 73% in 90 Days"), then use that as a guideline.

Cool. Constant updates are best. Try and mix in some information about health, such as lower heart-disease risk from eating veggies, lower obesity rates, lower and then back-linking to the restaurant's website. If you can interview local doctors, PAs, nurses, etc, can link those on Facebook, youtube, twitter, Instagram. Hootsuite can link all the social media platforms for you, so you just use that and post to all the sites at once and you can schedule posts out via Hootsuite, too. Basically, you can create a bunch of social media campaigns in one day and schedule them all out for like twice a week for the next few months.

I've been thinking about this....

I'm a software engineer...

So, it would be possible to AUTOMATE this...

First, if you aren't using existing Social Automation tools, you should check out: https://hootsuite.com/

With this tool, you can type one message and cross post to multiple platforms.

Second, I've been thinking of building a guerrilla platform where you could automate posting YOUR message using your SUBSCRIBERS accounts. It would work like this:

Application / system outline: 1.) person visits site, and creates account. 2.) person opts -in all their social media accounts, FaceBook, Twitter, Google+, Email, whatever.

Elaborate: Subscribers provide their social media accounts, in an opt-in, WITHOUT giving away passwords (the authentication happens via the social media platform, so you don't get their password, but they grant you permission to post, and the media platform validates) SOrry it's technical, but if you want to read about it's called OAUTH2

3.) Provide some kind of throttle or limit (time, # of posts etc) so as to not slam people accounts more than they want, OR maybe have a 'veto' option where if there is no override within a time frame it goes out automatically.

4.) Usage: Mike Cernovich would post an 'EMERGENCY' message, and click 'send', and each subscribers social media account receives a copy of your message, and it gets posted on their media.

5.) Usage two: You post articles, and 'stuff', and the user community ranks / upvotes the article and after a time it gets sent out.

This is something that could be built pretty fast (couple of weeks) but gonna cost some money for me to do that.

(Unless somebody else has built this!) I don't know about.

Hootsuite literally builds data monitoring apps with CCP companies like Tencent. But not a word here about that.

https://hootsuite.com/newsroom/press-releases/hootsuite-strengthens-presence-in-asia

But whatever Muh Drumpf.

http://socialdraft.com/how-to-get-a-verfied-badge-on-instagram/ Here's the link if anyone wants to try and figure this out. When I tried to Inspect Element and delete the blur it would delete the blur along with the text under it.

I wouldn't suggest you focusing on different topics (e.g. automotive, healthy lifestyle, home improvement and yoga). Such idea will likely produce content of too different topics. It will quite hard to get the right SEO, keywords, etc, because you don't really have a niche. I'd say to focus on something specific.

You can try some tool SEO tool to find the most shared topic b/w those that you've shared. For example, this one for the start: http://buzzsumo.com/

Surprised https://hootsuite.com/ isn't on the list.

Amazing free tool to manage facebook, twitter, instagram on one dashboard and even schedule up up to 30 instagram posts at a time free to post. (It does the posting for you if you have it set as an instagram business account)

Hey dude - you can only really engage with people on the desktop version, and can't post stuff. Although there are some services like Hootsuite that allow you to do this, I think? I'm not sure though as I've never used them. I mainly manage uploads etc on my mobile, which isn't too much of a struggle. I have got 3 pages though, and can see that it might become annoying in the future for sure.

Thanks!

Hello from Hootsuite! If you are managing a number of social profiles on behalf of different clients have you considered becoming one of our agency partners? Hootsuite actually started out of an agency in 2008 and we try to stay close to our roots and help agencies as much as possible. We launched our partners program to be able to provide the best Hootsuite experience as well as dedicated support and VIP service.

If you haven't checked it out already, here is the link.

This won't help you now, but with future clients you need to set expectations. Example:

- content creation (how much content per month)

- account growth

-reporting

- available m-f from 9-5

- request will be looked into within 48 working hours

- and include rates for work outside of scope of contract

- 1 phone meeting per month

***include the things your clients MUST DO! Example:

-Send me 30 images per month

-Send me calendar of events 15 days prior so I can do content calendar

- etc...

When your clients try to nicely "ask" for favors...don't. That's them overstepping boundaries. Stick to the contract - always. Either tell them that's not part of the contract and as much as you'd love ot help your time is slated to the other items in the contract...or...reply with the charge for this.

That and use a good social media management tool. That can help a lot. Send them calendars and reports so that you're the one giving them stuff to do, not the other way around.

***oh - and since you're new at this. Get paid upfront and have a cc on file ;)

I'm Blanca with Socialdraft...since you asked...

Our dash allows you to schedule (note - not publish - the IG API does not allow this) to Instagram for multiple accounts (also works with Facebook, Facebook groups, Twitter, Pinterest, and LinkedIn).

We're an SMS based system, at your scheduled time, you get an sms with the image and write up for your post. Save image, copy post, open IG and post.

Our system also allows you to assign different team members to create content for IG.

We've also got an awesome share feature on IG that lets you share IG content to IG (like a repost), and to other social networks.

You can also search by hashtag/key word, like images, and follow content creators.

Any q's drop by our site - we have support online M-F 9-5 est and are always happy to answer questions http://socialdraft.com/demo/

One way to increase your twitter profile engagement is by engaging with other influencers in your niche yourself.

However, easier said than done right?

What I would recommend is to use this tool: http://buzzsumo.com/

What will you get by using this tool?

You will get a huge list of influencers from your niche and their reply ratio.

Extract the list and start engaging with those influencers one by one.

But engaging is not enough, you need to do it properly.

How do you do it properly?

Did they share an article? Yes. Go trough the article and ask a question.
Retweet their article and leave a compliment, for an example. "Great article, check it out!"

Another way to increase your engagement is by being very active and posting more engaging content.

By engaging content I mean, asking a question, provoking an answer or for an example post, "Like if you think X is better than Y, retweet if you think that Y is better than X".

A study of over 1 billion Facebook posts shows that posts WITHOUT hashtags generate more engagement than those with them.

http://buzzsumo.com/blog/how-to-improve-facebook-engagement-insights-from-1bn-posts/

Thanks for recommending Ritetag. Actually, what it does is far more useful than anything related to trending hashtags. In fact, the social and content networks do that for you for free.

There's a problem with trending, though, and none of the social or content networks seem to grasp this: some of need to get something back from social. Our livelihood depends on it. So, for us, rather than "trending," which just means that many people are sending posts/Tweets/etc. that contain a hashtag, we want to know which hashtags, relevant for a topic, are getting positive outcomes for those who include them in a post/tweet/upload/etc. This is exactly what RiteTag does.

Please see, as you suggested, https://ritetag.com and test our solutions for: -hashtags for image -hashtags for a word or even a block of text

Get these features right inside your workflow by getting the RiteTag browser extension.

Questions welcome!

Hey Rob,

Just to add onto your topic, especially for Twitter, you will want to research which hashtags will be most effective to attach to your posts. Try not to use more than 3 at a time (rule of thumb) on Twitter, but feel free to spam hashtags on instagram.

For researching hashtags, check out this link. I've already searched #indiecomics. You can see related hashtags, who the big influencers are, as well as popularity.

http://hashtagify.me/hashtag/indiecomics

Couple that with another website called ritetag, which I have a link for below. This will help you scope out how many tweets per hour that hashtag is currently experiencing as well as how many views per hour that hashtag receives. All of which are important.

https://ritetag.com/hashtag-search/indiecomics

Hope this helps a bit :). Best of luck out there to everyone.

Look into https://hootsuite.com

You attach all your social media accounts to it, you create a post, and choose where you want it to be posted, all from hootsuite. I believe you can also schedule posts as well. I never used it but my ex did for her gym and it seemed to work pretty well for her.

I think you should have one person manage social media, or at least have everyone on the same page.

I do all all photos, videos and post on social media for my gym so there's no confusion.

I don't think every post has to be replicated every where, you can repeat or simply link for example if you have a core website/ facebook/ twitter/ indieDB/ g+/ devblog.

Your main website and indieDB would only need updated with major milestones (alpha, beta, demos, release).

Your devblog would take up most your time as you write about what you have worked on, though you can then link to these articles elsewhere and I find most people post weekly or every two weeks and that's enough.

Your twitter can be your main dumping ground for screen shots, linking to your updates on other platforms (like your blog) or chatting with others in the community. You can easily setup twitter to automatically post to your facebook page as well as G+ :)

It's still a bit of a time sink but if you manage it correctly it won't take more than a few hours a week. While this is a couple of hours away from your game it could lead to inspiration, feedback and later more coverage.

I don't use any tools for social networks myself but I know something like Hootsuite could help!

https://socinator.com/how-to-block-someone-who-blocked-you-on-instagram/

It looks like you can find their profile from a comment they have posted and then block them from their profile. Hopefully this is still accurate and you can find a comment of theirs

Hi /u/Shamgoth - because of Instagram terms of service, there's no tool to help you schedule to Instagram.

I'd be thrilled if you tried out Socialdraft (disclosure - that one's mine). Our photos feature has an awesome Instagram search and it lets you re-share content to Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. We're responsive, so you can use it from your computer, smart phone or tablet.

It does a few other things, but if you go here http://socialdraft.com/demo/ and watch the "Photos" video it will walk you through the general idea.

Ping me if you have q's...and if it is not what you're looking for, I'd love to hear what would make this a more useful to you.

***I use Iconosquare for analytics ;)

I've used BuzzSumo a few times to get article ideas. Just input what you're targeting and it shows you which articles (on that keyword) have been shared the most. Use this to figure out what you should write to complement/support/contradict. There's also a bunch of alternatives

Depends how much time you want to put in.
In my experience gamers are on reddit, but they hate 'advertising' on their /r/gaming or whatever. If you post it on gaming reddits, making sure they feel it's worth their time, not an advertisement.

Also remember who your audience is. I see tons of people posting their greenlight or kickstarter with #indiedev #gamedev on twitter, and while fellow devs might help you out with a "yes" they probably won't buy later.

My advice, first try Twitter, maybe instagram, both with some nice hashtags (https://ritetag.com/best-hashtags-for/gamer) Then after you have gathered some feedback try for a reddit post. It can blow up and be huge if you do reddit right.

Thanks for mentioning Hootsuite! OP - You indicated you only wanted opinions from those in similar situations. I won't say anything about us except, with that many stores, you're likely looking at Hootsuite Enterprise. I'm more than happy to show you around. Please PM me if you'd like.

When it comes to a content strategy for local retail brands we've seen great success when central marketing teams provide a steady flow of approved content to post and then the local managers add their own posts that are more focused on their area.

Brands often have local social accounts b/c they want local customers to follow them for news and information about their closest store. By enabling your local team to schedule content (that must be approved and meet brand guidelines) you can leverage all your resources effectively to meet the expectations of your followers.

I hope that helps and wish you best of luck on your social endeavours!

This is pretty great. You've combined two of my favorite things. Social Media Analytics and Video Games. I work for Hootsuite and we have a lot of Desitny fans here. Definitely sharing this around. Great job!

you might consider "experience marketing" -- i.e., putting together events and posting them to national/local event calendars (www.eventupload.io) and using social media (https://hootsuite.com/ or https://bufferapp.com/) to drive traffic to your location. once you've increased your foot traffic, you can improve your conversions through traditional pricing, POP, etc strategies.

.

events allow you to leverage your (extant and expanding) expertise. for instance, if you know soil or foliage better than anyone in your area (40+ miles), then perhaps you should be creating workshops or seminars (weekly/monthly?) to discuss soil reclamation or plants on mornings/evenings where you're at your slowest (or perhaps it makes sense to schedule the events for when you're busiest, so you can "market" the event to passersby).

.

in other words, leverage what you already have (not lower prices) to drive more traffic to your business and study tactics to help capture a larger share of your customers' wallets/minds/hearts. events are a great way to do this and there are awesome tools to help you get the word out quickly and keep the word out.

Could possibly help if you have the links in another format than in the website.

Website parsing is not trivial and usually requires third party libraries or extensive string manipulation.

Also, the difficulty increases if the website is run through a CMS.

On the other hand, if the website is backed by a CMS and you have direct access to the content database it could simplify the task.

IMO this would still be a bit much for a beginner.

Is the website run through a CMS? If so, maybe the CMS has a twitter integration library that you can readily use.

Other than that, maybe IFTTT or Hootsuite, or similar services can help.

Hootsuite Pro includes 50 social profiles and you can upgrade it to go up to 100. For more information on what's included in Pro and why it rocks, check this page.

We also use have a free trial for 30 days you can check out. Generally what I tell people is to try everything and explore your options and stick with what works best for your individual needs.

Hope that helps!

Product Marketing Strategy helps to attract more and more marketers as well as businessmen, and it also helps to improve market share so that customers can use more products. With the right media, we can create low-cost work that allows only a small team to work and to have a great and profitable benefit.

Failure happens due to these reasons:

Lack of knowledge about the market.
Lack of communication.
Lack of knowledge about the customer.

Weak product marketing plan.

Now, here are some of the essential elements that are used for Product Marketing Strategy:

Product.
Messaging.
Promotions.
Audience.
People.
Analysis.

These are some of the essential elements that are used for Product Marketing Strategy.

Instagram DM (Direct Message) is mainly used to grow the business. It enables you to send messages with links attached to it and communicate with the user personally. Message requests, customer service, and many more are sent to users to build customer relationships.

Here are the steps for "How to add links to an Instagram post or DM"-

Whenever someone follows your Instagram business account, send them a welcome message that directly goes into their inbox with a link attached to it that will direct them to your official page
But, it might not be possible to do it every time someone follows you, due to your busy schedule or various other reasons. So you can put your trust in a social media management software like Socinator and Sprout Social, that will schedule a date and time with a welcome message attached with a link. It will automatically send the message every time a new follower gets added to your community. Not the only Instagram, it can manage multiple platforms simultaneously.

Good Luck.

Do I need Social media Management software/program? - can be done without, but you'll waste a lot of time. Schedule your posts so you can save time for engaging. That's where your ROI will come from.

If so, what is the best? (preferably free, but if it's nice/necessary for success the job will buy it). - Take it with a grain of salt since I work for them, but Socialdraft is pretty thorough. I'll be glad to demo you on the dash if you DM me so you can see it in action. We're not free, but we're worth it and are doing a promo this month.

Can't really FAIL at this job because they never had this position before, but I'd prefer to just kill it and make myself invaluable to the company. I am pretty handy with social media anyways and know the best practices to gain followers/create content, but more so I am looking for STRUCTURE and trackings to show KPI's and stuff like that. Basically I want to turn my normal knowledge and know how's into a legit business platform, like a "real job" hahah. thanks. - Get to know analytics. If you can show the company that your social media efforts are driving web traffic and converting your customers into advocates, you'll be set. It's all about proving that you are worth more than what they pay you. Make sure that before you get started you take note of where they are now (sounds like you're starting fresh), so you have nowhere to go but up.

Good luck!

Full disclosure, I'm with Socialdraft. It's social media scheduling tool based on a calendar. Basically, it makes it really easy to plan out a calendar for all your social networks.

You can schedule directly on the calendar, upload a CSV (which is pretty handy for evergreen content), or use either our alerts system or Instagram repost scheduler to add content.

DM me if you'd like to see a demo...we're doing a May deal which gets new users either 30% off the first month on a pay as you go membership or 30% off the whole year for those who pay for the year ahead of time :D

You're being seriously underpaid. $200 a month is unacceptable for all the work you are doing. Where are you located? This will make a big difference as to your pay rate.

Take a weekend to study social media analytics. Assuming you have access to their social media, go in and do a deep dive. Figure out the average profit made by the club per person. If you can prove via Social Media analytics that you're driving people to go, you'll be able to quantify your worth.

I would not touch any social media for under $1000 per month and you are not just doing social media, but design, video work.

This may help a little. I suggest you start looking for other clients. http://socialdraft.com/how-much-can-i-charge-for-social-media-management/

You can do this with Socialdraft. Full disclosure - I work there.

We have levels where you can have team members. The account owner can decide what accounts each member can work on. He/she can also decide if a certain team member's posts need to be approved prior to publishing.

On our team plans, you can also assign tasks by social network to your team members.

The dash does a bunch more stuff. DM me if you'd like a demo.

There's a video here showing the feature if you want to check it out. http://socialdraft.com/socialdraft-admin-post-approval/

Check out Socialdraft (disclaimer - that one's mine). We have a nice CSV upload that works for Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

It also has some fun features like Instagram Photo search & share and some cool stuff for local businesses.

We're currently offering a free trial.

If you run into any snafus or have q's please do not hesitate to message me.

We're pretty new and I'd love your feedback :)

http://socialdraft.com/

They did not release the feature to everyone, but to some users. It could be that you did not get into the test. However, I'd check out the app. I use the app exclusively, so that could be why you're not seeing it.

Post I wrote on the feature, has step by step with pics on how to mute someone if you have the feature. Let me know if you have it on your account

http://socialdraft.com/how-to-use-twitter-mute-user-feature/

OP, Great question. I am actually owner of a Social Media software firm focused on Small biz and you've hit a few things on the head.

You're firm is making dollars are services but not growing the ink cartridge business (not a sexy business). It's not sexy because the online competition is fierce and it's not scaleable unless your HP. So you're firm should be pivoting on his marketing specifically to talk to local small biz and tell them the services you provide.

I dunno, web design, logo design, hosting, printer repair, network setup, phone setup, SEO. The local list can go on and on. His margins will from retainers. Every "web design firm" who focused on this market pivoted a few years back. Embrace it.

Also get plenty of testimonials from your current client base. When doing social posting (you can use our product [http://socialdraft.com](Socialdraft) ... shameless plug). But the big thing is engage the local business so they know who you are, what you do and that you're a real person behind a business. Hope this helps.

You could always try applying for private scholarships. Cappex and Unigo are good places to find scholarships. Here's one that I recently came across - http://jarvee.com/jarvee-coms-essay-writing-competition/

As /u/jpking10 said, the first think you want to do is get a good understanding of your current customers.

Who are they? What industry are they in? What are their pain points (why are they using or interested in your saas)? How can you provide a solution to their problem?

Then, begin to think about how social media (I'm going with social as the example here because OP says only social) could play a role in the above questions:

Are you producing content that resonates with your followers? Are you targeting people that fit within the demographic that was established above? Are you making shareable content?

Again going back to /u/jpking10's comment, you need to make sure you're driving results. Impressions, likes, retweets, comments, etc., look good, but they have to lead to tangible, real results.

Do you have good internal links on your site? Are you collecting email addresses? Are you retargeting people who have visited but not converted?

So, to go back to your original post, and do a quick mockup:

Goals:

Increase web traffic by 25%
Drive 100 installs during q4 2017

How to get there:

Engage in customer and demographic research
Examine the content you're making and improve on it as needed
Ensure your landing pages are setup to convert (have links, offer, etc.)
Build email list to reengage with customers
Retarget people who visited your site but didn't convert
Above all, test and measure your results to determine what's working and what isn't

Alright. I would use http://buzzsumo.com/ to find relevant content. It's useful because it tells you what people are sharing, and also the top influencers sharing that content. Find those guys, see who's following them and find the conversations they're contributing to.

If it's home/child stuff, twitter might not be the best site for generating leads. I find Facebook and Google+ are surprisingly better in that demographic.

If you drop me a PM I'd be happy to give you a full breakdown.

Sure is a solution: you need to not use the same hashtags continuously. Get RiteTag, and you'll use the browser extension to right-click and generate hashtags for any photo. Copy, post as a comment.

>It's the laziest form of journalism.

No... Actually, it's a really an overly complicated and difficult form of journalism. All you need to do is pick a site for trending words, and... look at it.

Thank you! I'm at 1400 currently. My biggest influx is from /r/androidgaming. I've posted it there 3 times over the last 3 months and without fail jump up to 100+ installs / per, which falls off over 3/4 days back to the normal rate.

Don't do ads unless your app is pay up front, they're too expensive. Use twitter hashtags to post your game. Use https://ritetag.com/best-hashtags-for/gamedev

Set up a mini site for your game with video, screenshots, logo, description, basically a presskit.

Wait a few days until " AndrewH" is posting on droidgamers.com again and email him at 702records [at] gmail [dot] com about your game. (he's on sick leave and will be swamped in mails next few days he comes back) PM me if you have any questions :)

https://twitter.com/hashtag/notyourshield is pretty popular ( https://ritetag.com/hashtag-search/1?q=%23notyourshield )

> seem about the same in size

Appearance and deception, you know.

There are countless gamers having fun online and offline with all kinds of games, kickstarted and traditonally indie games are booming, mojang just got bought, notch and co. have billions to invest in new and crazy ideas.. so these people don't have to micromanage their lives to achieve what they want (to have fun, develop games, etc.) .. contrasted with the SJW crowd who need to constantly spout their bullshit, filter content, react and scream. (That's why /r/gaming has/had mods affiliated with the SJW mindset. Because being a mod on an popular subreddit takes time and effort, playing and enjoying games .. not so much.)

> All in all very little good seems to be coming from this.

I think, so far, only good has came out of this. A lot of people were forced to think about these issues, some did, succeeded to critically separate good, okay, meh and offensive, bad, hateful things, cases, situations. Others, not so much.

You can use ContentStudio https://contentstudio.io, it comes with an automation module where you can specify your RSS feed and it will automatically drip-feed content to your Twitter channel.

Apart from that, it is a full-fledged social media management platform.

You can use ContentStudio, it comes with a composer module with a drag and drop functionality which would perfectly fit according to your needs for the round-up blog posts.

It comes with a 3rd-party integration like Pocket, WordPress, Medium etc. You can distribute your content through the platform.

Have a look at ContentStudio, it is a content discovery, monitoring, and social media management platform.

It makes it extremely easy to find niche-relevant content and have it shared on your social media channels or blogs. It is a feature-rich platform and comes with the automation features as well which you can use to drip-feed content on autopilot.

Did you get any clue? Maybe too late but here's some that I've seen:

Instrument shops' cork board: More than just a few of my local stores that sells guitars/piano has this board where people can stick a piece of paper for another to look up for teachers for lessons along with another asking for new members for the bands.
Some sort of int'l exchange center's cork board: I've seen one in my city where that was put on wall with fliers for schools and private teachers. For Sapporo, maybe this one?
Facebook pages, twitter, LINE and all sorts of SNS: It might be pretty cumbersome to manage these (especially if you want to update each one of them simultaneously), but in that case I recommend you using something like this. I used to use this one and works pretty cool. (Not sure if it works for LINE though)
Just any free homepage on WIX, Google Sites, Jimdo etc. I think WIX was pretty good. You can add appointment functionality on top of payment (by paypal as I recall), though I don't know how far you get to use them for free. Suppose linking all SNSs to the page and print out QR code from the page is suffice?

I often hear people who wants to learn English saying "Want to learn them through something I like, like music", so I think there's many people who gets interested in you including ones looking for the lessons for one's kids. That's pretty damn original!! Hope some of these helps!

Just search "free RSS feed directories". Tons will turn up. Find the ones that show off your niche best and you should be good.

I put everything on StumbleUpon. It doesn't take long to do and will keep constant traffic rolling in. Also, I know I've said our bounce rate is likely because of this traffic, but we've also acquired subscriptions to our email list from some of it. So it's still helping out.

Social media is tough because you need to figure out which works best for your audience and then develop a marketing strategy. I highly encourage HootSuite for making your posts because of the short-link generator for Twitter, the ability to create feeds and watch them all in one place, and for the statistics they give you. Also, it's free. Not much better than that.

Oh, they also have Podium which is a site by HootSuite that teaches you how to use social media better. It's also free and really well structured.

If you haven't tried a lot of social media yet, make a page for everything. At least Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, and Pinterest. Use HootSuite to make your posts but structure each one to display in a manner that's supported on that medium (a Twitter post doesn't look as good on FaceBook, etc...). Use HootSuite, Google Analytics, anything that can tell you how your posts are doing. Decide which ones would be worthwhile and then stick to those. There's no sense in wasting your time somewhere that you and your audience don't frequent.

Something like https://hootsuite.com/ but not designed for the social media content managers, but the actual users? Yeah, that might work. Cross-platform interactions would be nice, no need to add all the same people on a shitload of websites etc.

We use Hootsuite at my agency, it allows you to pre-schedule. It also has some powerful features that will help you accelerate your social marketing. Here's a link to their free version. https://hootsuite.com/plans/free

There are a bunch out there, just google "free social publishing tools".

Hello from Hootsuite /u/allinfinite (I work at Hootsuite). It actually sounds like you'd be a pretty great fit for our agency partner program. It's specifically designed for people like yourself that manage multiple clients but needed more options and reporting capabilities.

Hey folks - we've made ContentIdeas.io to top performing content around the web.

I think, kids would find a way to compare themselves with others even there were no social media. Anyway, social media is a useful thing in many ways. I read some social media statistic stuff here https://promorepublic.com/en/blog/statistics-about-social-media/, millions of people found their profit here. Some teenagers can get themselves together and go through this period without blaming social networks.

I have plans to sell merchandise on a page that is run by an account I also use personally. I read on this website that it is against Terms of Use to sell products with a "personal account". Does this mean I would have to create a new "business" account and use that to run the store?

I think it's hard to do. You have to create interesting content, get lots of subscribers. Although, there are ways to make your earnings more successful with social networking. I have my online store, and social networks have helped make my store more successful and popular. It would take a lot of time if I did all of this advertisement on my own. I decided to automate my page. It's really handy, because I have templates for posts, I can put a graph, and my posts are published automatically. SMM is handy. You can visit website promorepublic.com and manage all social media, if it is interesting for you.

It is possible! Really! You should be able to write beautiful texts, to choose interesting topics for the audience. In addition, you can advertise your business through a blog if you have a lot of subscribers. Moreover, there are many systems that can help you with this. For example, sites with social media marketing software https://promorepublic.com/en/ . You can get more followers, post awesome content, promote & boost sales by spending only one hour a month on social.

B2B marketing, or business-to-business, is a method of conducting business that involves corporations doing business with other businesses.

I believe that a decent Instagram marketing page will post 10 to 20 posts throughout a week, if your goal’s that. This implies you have to publish regularly at least 1-3 times. That relies entirely on your company/personal objectives. The reasoning behind it remains to be seen among the audience. Do not overuse it, though, as spam could seem. For most Instagrammers, twice a day is simply just right. Although a few pages post only one or two posts in a week you are looking forward to receiving your next article if the material is attractive and worthwhile.
