Have you picked your perfect tool?
There are so many tools out there that promise to solve all your problems!
You may have heard of the likes of Hootsuite, Sprout Social, Agora Pulse or Sendible, but how on earth do you work out which is the right one for your business?
How do you make the decision without spending a ridiculously large amount of time, money and brain power?
Most people just give up and sign up for one of the most well-known tools.
Sometimes that can work, but more often than not, many people will find that the tool doesn't actually help them with their needs. But that's after countless hours of time and a lot of money. What a waste! Not exactly a good return on investment.
I'm on a mission. This needs to change!
I want to make the decision easier for you and that's why I put this video together on how to pick the ideal Social Media Management Tool.
It's tempting to pick one of the famous tools such as Hootsuite, Sprout Social or Buffer. They're all great tools.
But they the right tool for you and your business?
How tools can help you be more efficient and streamline complex workflows.
How to define your needs- publishing, monitoring & managing engagement, measuring success or reporting to a team/client.
What are the best tools for each of these needs and some alternatives?
In the video, I've only included self-service options and not enterprise level tools. They're all affordable.
After watching the video, you should now be armed with information to make a better decision, but if you need more information or help, do not fear! I've written other guides to help you..
If you need more help, I'd love to chat with you and brainstorm the best tool for you. For more information, check my services.
HI, you have a lot of useful info. I was wondering what tool you would suggest for managing 7 Instagram accounts. I am a one woman social media business and have reached a point where I'm struggling with the login/logout method for all my client accounts!
Hi Ian, lots of amazing content – so thanks for that! Only thing here is I don't see the video (also checked your FB and TY pages). Is it just me??
Social media is a strong tool for marketing. As a business that is constantly working to stay relevant in your industry and making sales, you should leverage on this.
Hi Ian, Can you provide your inputs for social bakers. thanks.
I am about to work with a customer to supplement their social marketing for just one small division. Before we start I would like to get a picture of the existing social marketing activity of the corporation. What would be the best tool(s) to use? Note that I don't own any of their on-line assets and don't want to ask their corporate marketing department for the stats or for permission. So, this is more like an exercise which might be done by a competitor rather than by the organization itself.
Hi there, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. do you know of a tool that allows me to filter my twitter feed based on the amount retweets and favourites. So for instance i can view only tweets from my feed with say 100 favourites or more.
Hi Joeseph. Such a great question! Unfortunately, as far as I know, there isn't a tool to help you do exactly what you're looking for. However what are you wanting to achieve? Are you wanting to find your most popular tweets? Or do you want to filter very specifically?
Hi Ian, Thanks for your reply. I would like to find the most popular tweets in my feed (from the people I follow) and also filter out the noise. its a shame such a tool doesn't exist. i feel it is very helpful.
