Overall Satisfaction with Hootsuite
I use HootSuite to manage the social media accounts for my non profit business about old school text books. I use it to manage the daily posts for Facebook , Twitter and Instagram. I like to make sure that I don't post too many topics on the same themes each week. Hootsuite is used so that I can move posts and also plan well in advance what topics I want to focus on and which pages I promote.
- Hootsuite is excellent for viewing all your posts on every social media platform in one place
- Hootsuite is great for showing you what that post will look like with the graphic attached.
- Hootsuite is great for moving posts that need to be edited to a different day or month.
- Hootsuite is great for offering you times to post if you aren't sure at which time to post
- The suggested times for posts never seem to work for more and I get less engagement.
- On the free account I would love to see an ability to publish directly to Instagram , even when I try to link my Instagram account it doesn't do this.
- Hootsuite seems very busy directed, but please remember non -profit hobby-ist websites ( like me) use you as well.
- Since I've been using Hootsuite I've seen more visitors to specific pages on my websites and from that I've been able to lead visitors around the website more efficiently
- Being able to create a structured series of tweets as I'm able to easily see what I have tweeted previously means that I an able to do other jobs in the middle of my social media creation as I can see exactly what I was previously doing
- I can create more content on more platforms as I can see all the platforms on one page, this has enabled me to gain more followers on Instagram for more retro gaming posts.
I had used Tweetdeck in the past , but that just scheduled Twitter and I felt it was rather clumsy to use. The screen could become rather crowded with the different columns. Plus there was a temptation to read a hashtag channel like the UK News which would distract me from what I was doing. The publisher screen on Hoot Suite just focuses on the content you are creating with no distraction.
