We live fast paced lives. Having your marketplace optimized so it gives you the results you need is crucial for your success. Social media is a great tool to optimize your marketplace so it’s important to have the tools to improve your productivity. Here are three invaluable tools that have helped me make my social media successful.

HootSuite

I’m a huge HootSuite user. They sponsor me through my global Social Media Club non-profit, so that gives me access to all their bells and whistles. I run a Hootsuite organization to support over 350 Chapters around the world and a super Pro account. With HootSuite, you can actually manage your entire social media presence – Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter and more – using one dashboard. And you can use the dashboard from any device. Even better, if you’re using five or fewer social media platforms, HootSuite is free. Hootsuite can be an invaluable free or very cost effective tool for the pro version.

Sprout Social

This is a management and social media productivity tool combined. Sprout Social is a powerful management and engagement platform for social business that lets you manage, post, monitor, and analyze multiple social media accounts from one location. Sprout Social offers a single stream inbox designed to help you never miss a message, and tools to seamlessly post, collaborate and schedule messages to Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. We use Sprout Social at Near Me for their pretty awesome analytics.

Hubspot

We use Hubspot at Near Me to holistically expand our engagement through social media, email marketing, content marketing and more. HubSpot evangelizes the inbound marketing concept. The Hubspot analytics are pretty awesome also. You can control your content, channels and marketing performance while getting a 360 degree view of the people who are important to your company from your dashboard.

In today’s marketplace, social media productivity is instrumental to your success, whether you’re operating a business or trying to make your way in the hyper-competitive world of blogging. There are many tools available that can help you to schedule your social media posts so that you can become more productive.

These are three tips that I recommend and work for me, but I strongly recommend that you do your own research and find the best tool for you.
