  30. Hi,
    Are Sendible and Audience free? Congrats! You won the Inspire Me Monday Linky Party again!
    Janice

    1. Hi Janice, thanks for visiting and for the win! They are free to join, but you may need to pay for more features. I think its like the way other social media networks where you pay for a bigger reach like Triberr, even this too happens on Facebook where you pay for your posts to be boosted.

  31. This is some great info. I had only heard of Hootsuite before. You broke things down really well!

    1. Thanks for the positive feedback.

  32. I’ve tested several different social media tools and Hootsuite is definitely my favorite. I’ve found it offers the best social media management for me, but there is certainly a tool out there for everyone. I’ll be tweeting and pinning this post! Greetings from the Inspire Me Monday linky!

    1. Hi, yes Hootsuite is one the best tool for social media management with its amazing features that make your work easier. Sproutsocial and Buffer are too some of my favorites. Thanks for visiting.

  33. Very comprehensive post as usual, John! This really comes in handy! I’m still (stupidly) posting manually or using the inbuilt schedulers (except for Pinterest – I use Tailwind) but thinking of getting a tool to manage my social accounts, so thanks for the detailed and useful tips!

    1. Hey Lucrezia, thanks for visiting again. Yes, these tools helps you save time and also makes it easy to manage several accounts with ease though you have to do the engagement manually, these helps build a relationship with your followers.

  34. I had only heard of a couple of these, I didn’t know there were so many out there! And the one I use isn’t even on the list! I use Recur Post. It probably doesn’t do a lot of the stuff the others do, especially since I have the free version, but free is all I can afford at the moment! It has saved me a lot of time, though, which is what I was looking for! Thank you for sharing these, it’s something to keep in mind for the future!

    1. Hi Cherryl, thanks very much for the insightful comments on this post. It is always good to shop around for the best tools before settling for one. Reading articles like this gives you arrange of tools to select from.

  35. Social media can take a lot of time. Tools to cut it down are really important.

    1. Hi Peter, yes tools helps you make some tasks easy to manage saving you a lot of time but it is also advisable to take time to engage your audience physically therefore finding the balance between automation and being active by yourself leads to better results.

  36. Thank you for posting this. Sharing posts on social media can be time consuming and I have been looking for ways to manage my time more effectively.

    1. Hello John, exactly true, tools makes it easy to schedule and post even at times when you are doing other tasks. You can also be able to monitor how you content is performing, in terms of engagement. This enable you to make improvements where necessary.

  37. This is where I struggle. Social media is so hard to keep up with. Thanks for sharing.

  38. I hadn’t heard of any of these before reading this post. Thanks for the informative read ?

    1. Most welcomed.

  39. Extremely helpful list and while I am familiar with some of them like Hootsuite, Buffer and Tweetdeck, I haven’t given the others a try. Maybe I should. Are the others all paid platforms?

    1. Hi thanks for visiting. Yes, all this are paid though the likes of Hootsuite and sproutSocial have a free trial period.

  40. I hadn’t heard of any of these other than Hootsuite. I think I will go and take a look at some that may help. Do you have one that you think works best ?

    1. Sproutsocial is also a reliable social media automation tool besides this, I also like Hootsuite, and Buffer.

  41. This is a great list and it’s very helpful to me. It looks like you have a lot of great info on your site! I’m going to save this to my pin board and I’m subscribing!

  74. Nice write up, I’m now branching out into more social media for my blog. Saving to come back and implement some of your ideas so I don’t go crazy.

    1. Hi, am grateful for dropping by and your comments on the post.

  75. This is great, I didn’t even know about a lot of these- actually none apart from Hootsuite. Thanks for sharing them, super useful!

  76. Great list! I’ve been using the Later plugin and cannot stand it, so I will have to try some of these. I really feel that Hootsuite is the next best bet, since it seems you have to continually post (a lot) on a daily basis with Pinterest.

    1. Hi, thanks for dropping by. Yes, Hootsuite is one of the best tool to use for social media management. In my opinion, I would recommend it.

  77. I use both Buffer and Tailwind. Honestly, I would be using hootsuite but it’s just so expensive.

    1. Buffer is good too, and Tailwind works well for Pinterest. Maybe you can test Hootsuite on trial basis to see their performance. Sometimes the performance/capabilities may justify the cost.

  78. Hootesuite, Buffer etc..
    What do you suggest as the best way to manage social media in your opinion?

    1. Hi, I would recommend Hootsuite since it offers more features and capabilities to enable you manage various social media profiles. You can easily automate everything.

  79. There are a handful on here that I hadn’t heard about. Definitely going to be checking them out, thanks for the suggestions!

  80. Good information. I don’t use any social media management tool currently, I imagine it could be useful for rapid engagement

    1. Yes, the good thing about these tools, is automation. You don’t need to be present all the times on social media to post. You can have your posts or messages automatically set to be posted at a given future time.

  81. Great tips, just pinned this! 🙂

  92. Hootsuite is my holy grail! I have been using it forever. I definitely have to look into some of these other resources though. Great post 🙂

    1. Hi Nicole, thanks for your insightful comments.

  93. I’ve just discovered a social network called friends+.me that can post to Google+ communities! I found that Google+ communities can be a gold mine for targeted traffic and I’m testing Friend+.me right now. I will let you know how it goes! Happy to see that you have Pinterest images in your posts now! They look awesome. Sharing 🙂

    1. Hi Claire, thanks for dropping by, I have tried Google+ communities but I think they need a lot of engagement with the fellow users to gain from the traffic. I find Facebook Groups to more easier to use than G+ communities with regard to self promotion.

  94. I’ve been looking for the perfect tool to manage my social media and I think I’ve finally found it. Does buzzbundle really work with all social media platforms?

    1. Buzzbundle works for Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Youtube, LinkedIn, Forums, Q & A sites like Yahoo answers.
