Ask How do social marketers manage multiple social media accounts?

[Newman]

I know some social media marketers that have more than one social media accounts. Some of them have Facebook, Twitter and even more. How do they manage these accounts. I guess most of them would be copying and pasting into all these accounts. Apart from this stress, replying and sorting out issues with followers on each of this account is another thing.

How do you think social media marketers handle more accounts for themselves?

It doesn't matter how many social media platforms a digital marketer belongs to, what really matters is the management. Therefore it is better for a digital marketer to know how to handle them. The first step is to make sure that they have a different times to be active on any of this platforms. Doing this may make it easier for the digital marketers.

Most people doing this seriously use scheduling tools like Buffer or Hootsuite. You write your posts once and schedule them to go out on all your accounts at different times. It saves hours compared to logging into each platform separately. These tools also let you see all your comments and messages in one place, so you're not jumping between apps all day.

They batch their content creation. Instead of posting something different every day on each platform, they plan out a week or month of content at once. Sit down for a few hours, write all your posts, create your images, and schedule everything. Then during the week you just check in to respond to comments and messages.

I manage three accounts for my business and honestly it's not as bad as it sounds once you get a system going. I spend about an hour each morning checking all of them, responding to people, and seeing what's happening. Then I schedule posts for the next few days using a free tool called Later.

A lot of them repurpose the same content across platforms but adjust it slightly for each one. Like a Twitter post might be shorter and more casual, while LinkedIn gets a more professional version of the same idea. They're not writing completely new stuff for every platform, just tweaking the format and tone to match what works there.

Some marketers hire virtual assistants to handle the routine stuff like scheduling posts and responding to basic questions. They focus on creating the actual content and strategy while someone else deals with the daily management. This only makes sense if you're making enough money to justify paying someone, but it can free up your time to grow the business instead of spending all day managing accounts.

The constant switching between accounts and the "copy and paste" stress is a killer. Most of the pro marketers aren't doing that, though. They use special tools like Hootsuite or Sprout Social. These programs let you schedule all your posts for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and everything else at once from a single dashboard. That saves a ton of time right away because you can plan out a whole week of content on Monday morning instead of manually posting every day.

That unified inbox thing is what really changed the game for me when I worked in social media a few years back. The whole point of the management tools is to pull every single mention, comment, and direct message from all your linked accounts into one place. When someone sends a message to your Facebook page or tags you on a Tweet, it shows up in this one central feed.

Instead of feeling pressure to post four times a day on every single platform, they create one really great piece of content, like a cool short video or a blog post. Then they spend a little time adapting it for each platform. They aren't copying and pasting, they are repurposing the main idea, so it feels more natural and less spammy on each channel, which works better.

This might work for you if you're managing accounts for clients or a small business: a really strict content calendar. You can use a simple spreadsheet for this, you don't need fancy software at first. The idea is to decide exactly what will be posted on each platform for the whole month.

 

[Brendan]

But here's the problem with using all these tools. They are expensive, especially the good ones like Sprout Social or even Buffer's higher tiers. For someone who is just starting out or only managing a few accounts as a side job, those monthly fees can really eat into your profits.

In my own way, I will like it if the digital marketers first of all get himself familiar with one digital marketing strategy. And he knows the best way to make use of it, before thinking of going for another, if truly there may be a chance of him going for another digital marketing strategies.
