Default Resource to manage several client Facebook pages, etc.
There is lots of great info in this forum. I am looking forward to getting into it more. I have done a search....I don't know if I need to use different key words but the results are not turning up an answer to my question. Maybe the answer doesn't exist.

I am wondering is there a website that will help me manage several clients Facebook pages and or other social media sites in one spot.

Also and most importantly is there a way I can set a clients Facebook page to update at a predetermined date. For example, Client A wants 1 post a day 7 days a week. I would like to set up the posts in advance and have them automatically post once a week.

I hope that made sense!

TIA for any help offered!

Kari,

Check out Hootsuite. If the client wants you to take over the FB page they will have to have a pro account and add you as a "team member" (think that's what it's called).

I second Christina's suggestion: my favorite is Hootsuite. It has the best set of features for managing multiple social media accounts and scheduling automated updates. They launched a pretty robust analytics system earlier this year, too, that will allow you to really understand the impact of your efforts.

It works with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Ping.fm, Foursquare and more. You can give it a whirl with a free account before you decide if you or your client will want to pay for the Pro service.

All that being said, it's been a few months since I last did some research on this so I'm really curious to see what other people have to say.

Good luck, and let us know what you choose.

Another Hootsuite fan here :-) You can schedule in bulk (using a .csv file) or just one post at a time if you don't have too many. It is a very useful tool.

I have a new client that wants to schedule blog posts on her site, notifications on her social media, AND send out an email notifying customers of the post. She uses Constant Contact. Is there any tool that can automate the email portion of this puzzle?

Thanks for any help.

I agree HootSuite is great. You may also want to try SproutSocial-- My Social Media partner highly suggests it to her clients as well. I'm just getting started with it and I love it already.

I am a recent Hootsuite user and I think it is amazing! I must also say SproutSocial is amazing as well as previously stated.

The site I use is called Twaitter and you can set up multiple tweets to post on a regular schedule (one every Monday at 9 am or one every day at 5pm, etc.) and it's free. As for FB messages, I'd have to go with Hootsuite. Good luck!!
