Other platforms include Buffer, Hootsuite, and others, which all run off the same principles and are especially designed to assist you in becoming more efficient in the everyday management of your brand or company’s social networking platforms.
Inter-Platform Sharing
The other option to simplify the management of your multiple social accounts is indeed inter-platform sharing. Within this, you can initially establish your Facebook account to post to twitter automatically. However, remember this works properly only for very short posts. As Twitter have the limitation to 140 characters, in case your Facebook post goes beyond the twitter’s word count, it’ll automatically cut off the length of your post to meet their limitations. To stay away from this issue, it’s advisable to cut back on your message, add a short link and some relevant hashtags and away you go.
However, inter-platform sharing also lets you sharing posts to Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, and Flickr from Instagram. Instagram is solely a mobile platform that means you can access your Instagram account from a desktop and also do some minor tasks, but actual posting can be done only through a mobile device.
If you are willing to pay a little for a premium service, then you can easily schedule posts and interact with your customers and target audience on your account using sites like GramBoardPro starting just at $4.99 per month.
SocioBoard Core lets you monitor and analyze the statistics on your different account, run campaigns and promote your numerous account across different platforms. These tools can really help you in promoting your brand in Instagram.
Always keep in mind, not every social networking platform account will be right for your business. Never feel like you have to register for everything right away. Based on your company abilities, services, resources, target market and audience, it is best only to pick 2 or 3 social media platforms and make them really well.
