7 Social Media Management Tools You Need to Consider

But social media often comes with challenges, such as managing multiple accounts.

It is also difficult to keep up with the rigorous task of putting out relevant content that is unique and engaging.

There is no question that this responsibility can be time-consuming.

However, the presence of social media management tools allows you to automate some of your social media tasks. In doing so, you can properly manage your account in less time.

Here are some of the social media management tools you need to consider, especially if you are on a tight budget.

Hootsuite

HootSuite is an online management dashboard that helps you manage more than one social media account.

The free version permits three different social media accounts, while the paid version allows unlimited accounts, plus some other extra benefits.

With HootSuite, you can execute a campaign from one web-based platform across multiple social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter.

Starting with the free package is a good option. It can solve most of your social media marketing needs as a small business.

SocialOomph

SocialOomph was originally designed solely for use on Twitter and was formerly known as TweetLater.

The company eventually modified its features to accommodate other social networks and changed its name to SocialOomph.

The free version of SocialOomph limits your activities to Twitter and provides the following:

  • Tweet scheduling
  • Keyword tracking
  • Drafts
  • URL shortener
  • Mentions/re-tweets monitoring
  • DM inbox and Twitter purging
  • 5 Twitter accounts (maximum)
  • Pre-defined channels (Twitter)
  • Private Tweet interests channels

You also get a 7-day trial of the professional features without any termination of your free plan after your trial elapses.

While free users can send up to 12 tweets per hour, professionals get unlimited tweets.

Free users don’t get the rotation or recurring options, which means their main benefit is that they can schedule messages for future posting.

Buffer

Buffer makes post scheduling awesome and makes your posts consistent.

You can queue several posts and publish them at a later date.

The free version allows:

  • 1 user login
  • Scheduling up to 10 posts
