by skysnap » 01 Jan 2017, 08:30 Social media can be time consuming. And spending more time trying to post stuff can make it harder for you to focus on other tasks. In such case you should focus on the tools that can help you automate the tasks. Here in this article, I am going to review some of the tools that can help you automate the social media posting.
HooteSuite
I have found that tools such as this can be really good to automate the task. It can help you create reports and also check your reach on the social media. It may not be cheap though. Because the more accounts you add the more money is required for the higher paid plan. For basic free plan, it can get enough social networks on the automation. For me I use it for the twitter. And so far it is working out for me. This is indeed a good tool out there for those who want to automate social media.
Social Post
Another tool that can help you automate the social media posting. It can help you understand your peformance on the social media tool. It can take time for you to manage the posting though. Because the tool takes time to learn. You can also use image posting and tracking option. This is one of the feature available in the paid plans. It can post on many social networks. It however requires efforts to learn the tool. If you have more than 3 social networks to manage then definitely take a look at the socialpost.
Edgar
Another site that is similar to the hootesuite. But it has lot more features. It can post on the facebook groups too. And it has rather easy to use interface. The plans are not for those with low budget. It has plans for mostly the agencies and the freelancers with good budget. I have found that Edgar is one of the tools that can be really good when you have clients for your business and freelancing. It may not be cheap option but it can be a good option when you have too many accounts to manage.
Dlvr It
This is another site which is similar to the social post. The interface is very easy to use. And I think there are enough social networks that you can use in the dlvr it. That can be good for the automation. The paid plan is also not expensive. And it can get enough options for you to automate the stuff. Dlvr it seems to be a good option for agencies too. The plan seems to cover most popular social network. I would however have found issues with the delivery. You may have to test this on your own.
Buffer App
Like hootesuite this is one good app. It has enough social networks that you can automate and the flexible plans for the agencies and the freelancers. Though like hootesuite and Edgar it is a bit expensive. So for those with small budget may not be going for this app. I'd say the app may be good for the people who have plenty of data to automate and schedule. I have found that some of the social media people using buffer app for automating a lot of content. It is a good tool for those who are looking for automation.
These are some of the tools that you may want to use for the scheduling. It may take time for you to get used to these tools. But they are worth using if you are into social media posting and scheduling.
