Best 6 Tools for Social Media Managers

With so many social media networks to keep up with these days, it can be tough to manage multiple accounts effectively, especially if you’re short on time or aren’t familiar with all the platforms.

Fortunately, there are many social media management tools out there that will let you streamline your workflow and focus on what really matters – engaging with your audience and generating leads and sales opportunities.

CoSchedule

CoSchedule is a powerful social media management tool that organizes all of your posts and manages social media engagement. It even reminds you when to post so you don’t have to worry about it. With all of its features, CoSchedule is also one of the more affordable social media management tools. Its premium plan starts at $69 per month.

However, you can use some basic features for free on their Plus plan (10 social profiles) with no limits on projects or publishing timelines. This is great if you’re just getting started as a social media manager and want to try things out before making a big investment.

Buffer

Buffer is a scheduling tool for Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. It allows you to queue your posts or tweets in advance, which is useful if you’re not always online to respond to messages or post content. You can also schedule updates on specific days and times of the day so that they appear at optimal times. Buffer allows you to export data to .csv files.

This means it will be easier for you to do a deeper analysis about what types of messages perform best, how often people interact with your brand across different networks, and more.

There are several similar tools out there, including Hootsuite. But Buffer has grown by word-of-mouth among social media pros because of its simplicity and ease of use. (Free for up to 3 social media accounts; $10/month per account after that.)

Hootsuite

Hootsuite is a social media management tool that allows users to monitor and engage with multiple social media platforms from one place. Hootsuite’s dashboard offers an overview of activity across different social channels, and it allows for scheduling posts for future delivery.

The tool also includes analytics tools that allow users to view metrics about their social media presence. Many social media experts recommend Hootsuite as a good option for monitoring Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram, and LinkedIn accounts. It also offers free trials that enable beginners to see how it works before deciding whether or not they want to purchase paid subscriptions.
