Thankfully, we live in a world and time where developers are
rectifying that problem! Now there are plenty of tools that can easily
sync with all of our social media accounts so that we can update and
monitor all of accounts in convenient location. The only downside is
that some great tools have been disabled or acquired by some of the
major brands – TweetDeck belongs to Twitter, Summify was acquired and
will be shut down by Twitter, for example. But, that doesn’t mean that
you still can’t find software to manage all of your social media
accounts.
To make your life easier, are here the top 10 tools for managing your social media accounts.
10. Crowdbooster

Unlike other selections on this list, Crowdbooster focuses on
gathering data from your Facebook and Twitter feeds. While it will not
compile different social media accounts into one convenient location, it
will give you some vital information regarding your social media strategy,
such as when people are most likely to view your latest images or video
uploads. Other features include being able to analyze impressions,
total reach, and engagement. This will allow you to modify and improve
your strategy by knowing what it working and what is not. Another cool
feature is receiving alerts on new Twitter members who may be interested
in you or your brand.
Unfortunately, Crowdbooster does not offer a free option, but the
lowest plan will only set you back $9 a month and allows up to 50,000
followers all together. It may be worth the investment if you run a
business.
9. SocialFlow

If you run a business or an online marketing campaign, you already
know how important it is to share content on social media. By utilizing
its own unique optimization algorithm that taps into your Twitter and
Facebook data, SocialFlow takes into consideration three factors:
“relevant message (which of your messages is most likely to connect),
right audience (who’s online now), and right time (when’s the perfect
moment to publish this content).” In short, SocialFlow makes sure your
message is sent out during the most optimum time.
SocialFlow is another service you’ll have to pay for, but they offer flexible plans that begin around $99 a month.
8. Bitly

Bitly does a lot more than just shortening links that are posted to
your social media accounts, which keeps them neat and clean. It also
features real time-analytics, bookmarking your favorite sites and pages
and having the ability to track clicks. Bitly works across multiple
platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook, and is free. Yep. Free.
7. Everypost

Everypost is a handy app that basically allows you to post all of
your updates onto the major social networks from one place at one time.
Simply write your message, add photos or videos, and hashtags then send
off to Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, Facebook, LinkedIn, Tumblr, or via
e-mail (even all at the same time, if you want). Another cool features
is the Twitter text shortener.
This will automatically shorten tweets so
that they are under 140 characters. While there may be some glitches to
correct, this is a useful, and free, app.
6. Sprout Social

Sprout Social is another nifty tool that can manage, post, monitor,
and analyze multiple social media accounts from one location. For
example, you could search for content within its Feedly integration,
schedule posts, and reply to messages on Facebook and Twitter. You can
also monitor messages across Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and LinkedIn
personal profiles all through on streaming inbox.
But, that’s not all.
Sprout Social also offers analytics so that you can visualize important
metrics.
You can sign up for a free trial, but after that you’ll have to
select one of three packages that range from $39, $59 or $99 per month.
It’s a little higher cost than other tools, but can be a great
investment for businesses that are super social.
5. Buffer

Buffer is one of the most popular social media message scheduling and sharing applications
available. With one easy click you’ll be able to share content and
schedule posts via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google+. Basically,
it allows you to stagger content throughout the day so that social media
feeds have consistent updates. And, there’s analytics about engagement
and reach of your posts.
Buffer is free, but only for a short period. However, you can
schedule ahead of time, which is really handy. For just $10 a month you
can schedule as many posts as you want, use up to 12 social profiles,
and have two team members assigned to one account.
4. Spredfast

Spredfast is an outstanding tool if you’re looking to measure data
gathered from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Flickr, such as being able
to see how many people you’ve reached and whether or not your target
audience is engaging with you. The data is clearly presented in
formatted graphs. Besides the advanced analytics tools, there’s other
useful features, like a calendar that informs when the optimal tweeting
times occur.
3. Tweepi

Of all the social media platforms, Twitter can be the most daunting.
If that’s the case for you, Tweepi is just what you have been looking
for. There’s a quick management tool which will allow to flush
unfollowers, cleanup inactives, reciprocate by following, and follow new
interesting tweets. A simple, and sometimes brutal, way to keep your
Twitter account tidy.
There are Silver ($7.49 a month) and Platinum ($14.99 a month) to
choose from. However, if you purchase Tweepi annually, it’s 17% cheaper.
2. SocialOomph

SocialOomph has the ability to schedule tweets
for the entire day and auto-follow your new followers, so you can
something other than schedule tweets and follow people. You can also use
the dashboard to combine Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Plurk, and your
blog into one spot to schedule posts or monitor social media activity.
While the app has a free version, there’s a paid “professional”
option that features a ton of helpful tools to boost your social media
productivity.
