Tools to Help You with Your Social Media Campaigns

The beauty of Internet marketing is that there are a lot of tools that help you manage your different campaigns. Social media campaigns are no different. Here are some tools to use to make your life easier:

1. Know your social media outlets.

The hubze squad understands that there are just too many social media sites out there, and you may have forgotten which ones you have signed up for and which ones need your attention. Thankfully, there are services such as CheckUserNames.com that allow you to check out your user name and see if you are on any of the 160 social bookmarking and social networking sites they support.

All you need to do is to input your user name or email address into the search box, and then clicking on the Check User Name Button (this is important for the service to work). Wait for all those rotating arrows to stop moving.

If your email address or user name is active on a particular site, it will show up as dimmed and the word “Available” crossed out. Chances are, you have profiles on these social media site.

If your user name is not found on a particular site, and you want to register, just click on that site to be taken to its own sign up page.

2. Update all your profiles without taking too much time.

Just imagine this. You want to update your social media profiles and there are a dozen, or more, of them. Logging into Facebook, Twitter, mySpace, Bebo, Yelp, and others can definitely waste too much time.

AtomKeep.com helps you do all your updating with just one button click. You have to sign up for the service, complete your profile and then link all your accounts on social media sites that they support.

AtomKeep is currently accepting user registrations, but are giving access to the service by batches as soon as their capacity allows them to. It may take quite a wait to enjoy this service.

3. Notify them of your new blog post or post updates to all your social media sites all in one place.

You might have a new blog post or a new Web page, and you find it too tiring to log into all your sites to update it. Thankfully, there are services such as Ping.fm that can help you do it all at one place.

For example, updating your Ping.fm account pushes that update to your Facebook, Twitter, Brightkite, Google Buzz, LinkedIn, mySpace and hi5 accounts.

Or better yet, have a browser plug-in such as Shareaholic.com’s tools installed to make it easier for you to bookmark, share and even e-mail any page you find on the Internet.

4. Schedule your updates.

While it is easy to schedule a blog post on WordPress, Joomla and other content management systems, social networks might be a different matter altogether.

There are, however, third party services that you could use to help you manage your time better and allow you to schedule your updates on Facebook and Twitter.

For Facebook, consider Postcron at http://postcron.com/en/. For Twitter, check out Buffer at http://bufferapp.com/. For both Facebook and Twitter, you have a range of applications such as TweetDeck, HootSuite and Social Tomorrow.
