Week 9: Hootsuite

This week in class we dove deeper into Hootsuite. Before I dive into my new discoveries I wanted to recap do a quick recap of what Hootsuite is. Hootsuite is a way to manage all your social media from one place. You are able to link you personal or business profiles to this site. For example, in the picture below you can see I linked my Facebook page, Twitter and LinkedIn. 

Linking all your social media networks to Hootsuite will make it easier to manage. Once you have linked all your social media you will be able to send posts to those networks from Hootsuite. In the picture below you can see that I am getting ready to send  a test post. This post will be sent to all three of my social media platforms. Not only can I send my post to multiple platforms at one time, I can also schedule when I want my post to be posted. Which I think is pretty cool.

I plan on using this wonderful tool for the rest of my career. I am a communications major and I know that this tool will make my life a lot easier. I plan on managing social media for a sports team in the future. When I land a social media job on a sports team you better believe I will be using Hootsuite. I can't wait to share the new skills I learn as I keep navigating through Hootsuite.
