Week 10: More Hootsuite

Last week I talked about how Hootsuite and how it can be used as a tool to make posts and send them  to all forms of social media. This week I did a test post to get my feet wet. The first thing I did was make sure all my social media platforms were linked. As seen in the picture below.

After selecting which social media platforms you would like your content to be posted on click "send now" and your content will be posted! Below are some sample pictures of my test posts on Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin.

As you can see "testing Hootsuite" was posted to all three of my social media platforms at once! Say you did not want to post your content at this time. You can set a timer and have you content post whenever you want. That tool can be useful for time sensitive material. Last semester I took a public relations writing course. I wish I knew about Hootsuite while I was in that class. During that time was constantly posting to multiple social media platforms at once but I had to do each individually and all at different times. PR is a possibility for me in the future so I'm very fortunate to be learning how to use Hootsuite now. Can't wait to keep learning more!
