ORGANIZING YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS

Who doesn't have at least a couple of social media accounts these day? Just about everyone does and it can be time consuming to keep posting content to them all on a regular basis. By using some great online tools you can easily organize and schedule your posts. So instead of thinking about what to post, you simply sit down and schedule posts at one time. This way you don't have to worry about what to post for the next few weeks.

So how can you accomplish this? Well there are a number of online tools that you can use from. Buffer, Hootsuite and Tweet Deck are some that first come to mind. Most of these tools have a free and a paid version.

Buffer allows you to schedule posts across your social media sites. At the moment you can Buffer posts to Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Google+. With the free account you do have a limit to how many posts you can schedule. They do notify you when your stream is full, the paid version of Buffer is very reasonable and allows you unlimited scheduling.

A nice feature of Buffer is that if you find some newsworthy item that you want to share, they have a Share Now feature. This allows you to stay on top by posting news as it happens in your business.

Hootsuite is another great tool for organizing your social media posts. The free version is great for personal use and allows you to have up to 100 social media profiles. There is a paid version that may be more suitable for businesses.

Once you log into your account you can set up all of your social media accounts, you now have access to all of them from one main dashboard. You can easily post the same content to all of your sites, or decide which content you want posted where.

With both of these tools you can choose to have any links in your posts shortened. This is good for tracking purposes and for staying within character limitations.

The ability to schedule your posts is something we definitely recommend you look for in any type of social media management tool. Plus you may want the ability to have another team member or virtual assistant log into your account and schedule your content for you. Not all tools offer this feature.

Using a social media organizational tool will really free up your time. You will get into the habit of planning ahead not just with your social media marketing but with your entire business.

USING GOOGLE DRIVE TO STAY ORGANIZED

Google Drive is a great tool for staying organized online. As well it allows you to save, create and share content with other people. Currently you can save up to 5GB's of content for free. If you aren't utilizing Google Drive then it is an option worth considering.

The added benefit is that if you use any other Google services these will be seamlessly integrated into your account. In addition you can create documents within your drive and these can be edited and shared with team members. This could actually be a viable option for replacing tools such as Microsoft office.

Currently you can create the following documents from inside your account:

Documents

Presentations

Drawings

Forms

Spreadsheets

Google Drive operates in the Cloud but can also be downloaded to your computer. This way you can access any files or photos while off line.

If you are working on a project with other people as soon as someone edits or makes changes to a document you will be notified. Being able to share your documents with others means that you don't have to keep updating copies and checking that all changes are tracked. Just one copy is saved and updated by all contributors.

Google Drive is great for personal use as well, everyone should have backup copies of their important data and photos. By saving a copy to Google Drive you are protecting your files in case your computer suddenly crashes. Nobody wants to lose their treasured photos of family, friends and pets.

Google Drive is fairly new and replaced Google Notes, so you can still expect improvements and updates to this service. Many other service providers charge for 5GB worth of storage, so it is well worth taking advantage of this just for the free storage space alone.
