However, reports are limited and are usually available only for higher level users.

While SocioBoard can save you lots of hard-earned bucks and time when it comes to handling your multiple social media accounts, there are some problems when posting. For instance, sometimes a picture won’t show up appropriately in a link which is shared on LinkedIn. Also, you don’t have the flexibility to tag anyone the same as if you can do when posting directly in Facebook or LinkedIn.

On the whole, if you’re looking for something for assisting you in managing multiple social networking platforms SocioBoard is definitely something that should be considered. There are ample of other options also available, but SocioBoard has been recognized as the more broadly used tool for managing social media platforms. 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.

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.
