Social media is a huge part of being a blogger! Next to creating great content, it’s probably one of the most important parts of blogging. Using social media is crucial to interacting with your readers, other bloggers and promoting your blog. However, it is very hard to be on social media 24/7! HootSuite is a wonderful way to schedule some of your social media updates.
How To Use HootSuite to Schedule Your Social Media
Writing this today, I can’t believe I used to manually go into each of my blogs during certain times of the day and promote them using social media. The downside of this is that I had to remember to actually do it, and when I did remember or was available, it wasn’t always the best time to be tweeting or Facebook status updating.
You certainly don’t have time to re-tweet every post you have ever done, but taking a few minutes a day to give old posts and new some attention could really pay off in the form of followers, traffic, ad and affiliate revenue, etc. Best of all, this is FREE!

Hootsuite has been a great tool for me and staying on top of promoting my blog via social media. It also allows me to connect of multiple platforms simultaneously so that I don’t have to have a million tabs open at once. My main way I utilize Hootsuite is scheduling updates for sponsored or affiliate posts, or even reminder posts. I think it’s great for those running giveaways or link parties, to remind followers of them.
I’m not sure why I would need another program to schedule my blog posts. When I publish, my posts automatically feed to both Facebook and Twitter. I believe I set those up on auto through both sites.
I keep thinking I need to do this. thanks for the reminder. I will get on it.
Kerrie, I LOVE Hootsuite! I’m on board with you all the way 🙂 The next great thing about Hootsuite… when you get your rhythm for promoting and curating, you can hand it off to someone else to do – super empowering!
Thank you …. I feel like this post was written to me and for me this morning! I actually planned to read it later and accidentally clicked it open….guess I am meant to get reading!
