Tools for Social Media

Social Media is a platform that is great for helping to create online visibility for your business. More and more businesses are taking advantage of social media marketing.

The challenge that most businesses come across is the management of their social media sites. There are a lot of different tools out there that claim to be “the best” for social media management, but how can you know what really works the best until you have tried them all? The problem with trying all the tools out there is that it would take a long time to do so and they’re not all free.

Here is a little guide to some of the best and most popular tools for social media management:

Sprout Social

Sprout social Best tools for Social media

Sprout Social is a media management tool that allows you to manage multiple social media sites from one dashboard. Sprout Social offers analytics and is also mobile friendly. This tool is best for large companies with multiple sites, like an internet marketing firm in Austin or an advertising agency in Los Angeles.

Price: $39/mo – $99/mo

Evernote

Evernote Best Tools for Social Media

Evernote is more a tool that I would use as a secondary resource for my social media management. Now while Evernote doesn’t actually manage your social media accounts it is a great tool for writing and storing content and ideas. I use it as a brain storming tool because I can create multiple notes and compare them and save them online. I also take advantage of the reminder tool in Evernote which helps me to remember deadlines and events.

Free package available as well as a paid package that includes more.

HootSuite

My favorite tool on this list is Hoot Suite. With the ability to schedule posts, review analytics and view multiple feeds Hoot Suite is a great tool. The free version of Hoot Suite allows to manage up to 5 social media sites. In my opinion, Hoot Suite is the best social media management tool for a small business, blogger or individual who likes to stay connected with his social sites.

Price: Free-$8.99  (There is also a package available for large businesses. Pricing only available by contacting Hoot Suite directly)
