\n\n\n\n

1. Social Oomph (Free + $)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sure, it doesn\u2019t look pretty but it doesn\u2019t need to be. Social Oomph gets the job done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social Oomph will take your productivity to the next level with advanced scheduling, integrated timelines, click tracking, advanced methods of Combatting X spam, support for Facebook and Linkedin along with support for unlimited accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can even manage multiple blogs right from your account which means managing your blogs can be done easily. Social Oomph supports a number of different platforms from free blogging platforms to self-hosted WordPress installations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are free and paid accounts available, but you really need the paid account to make the most of it, pricing starts at around $15 per month and you will never need to pay any more than that no matter how many accounts you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a paid account and it saves me loads of time, it\u2019s an integral part of my social media toolbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Buffer (Free + $)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Buffer makes scheduling status updates so easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The annoying thing about pressing the tweet button or publishing an update on most social platforms is that it goes out straight away, not when you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes you want to share a few posts but if you share them all at the same time then chances are you\u2019ll annoy your followers \u2013 Buffer allows you to spread them out how you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just add an update to your Buffer and they will be published at pre-determined times which you can change to whatever you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great news here is that Buffer is now compatible with Google+ pages which isn\u2019t supported by many platforms (yet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s also helpful analytics and the option to setup team members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Awesome\u2019 account as they call it, starts at $15\/month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sign up with 14-day free trial<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Hootsuite (Free + $)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hootsuite is the tool that I use for my day to day management of my social media accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It makes responding and updating profiles really easy and their mobile app makes things pretty easy when I\u2019m on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The free account limits you to 5 social profiles, gives you basic scheduling and reporting but the real good stuff happens when you get on the pro account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pro account allows you to monitor and update over 50 social profiles along with some other helpful features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The free account may do what you need, but it\u2019s well worth giving their 30 day pro account free trial a go to see what you think, if you like it then it’s only $19 a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sprout Social is a comprehensive social media marketing platform<\/a> that puts all of your social profiles in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a task management system built in to make tracking what you\u2019re doing easy, especially if you’re working with teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sprout Social has put a lot of thought into scheduling, similar to Buffer there is a ‘Sprout Queue’ that you can add updates to that will filter out whenever you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve got all the usual search and profile clean up options that a lot of other social media management tools (especially those that focus on X) have these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
