Hello ever hear about or use hootesuite?
If your week has been crazy like mine this can be a life saver.
It’s a great way to manage different social media accounts from one place kind of like command central if you will.
At hootesuite you can interact and post to your different accounts maintenance type of stuff if you will it’s very convenient.
Well as I was making my usual rounds on hootesuite I found a little jewel kind of by accident. I haven’t been using hootsuite all that long consistently having just converted from tweetdeck.
But to make a long story short I found a great bookmarklet there called the hootlet and love bookmarklets so I was intrigued.
This thing is awesome it gives you a lot of the functions you have at hootesuite for posting and syndicating and I have included a video showing you how it works.
Great little tool huh?
I will be using it for sometime to come I promise you.
Know of something similar or have any other internet marketing advice you would like to share?
Please do so in the comment section or click the facebook and twitter buttons you see.
Or hey use your new hootesuite hootlet!
Take Care,
Steve

Does tweetdeck have a feature like Hootlet? I can’t seem to find any info on this. I use that feature he most; but would like to use the FREE Tweetdeck over the Paid HootSuite, if I can. (I have more than 5 social media accounts to use the free Hootsuite).
Thanks.
Michelle unfortunately no it does not I used to use tweetdeck quite a lot myself. When you say the free tweetdeck vs. the paid hootesuite I would have another look hootesuite has a free version with a lot of great features that is why I switched ( and with twitter buying tweetdeck out it may lose a lot of it’s multi-network features)

Hey Steve
Hootsuite is great, I found them by accident quite sometime ago. Because as I am sure we all know by default keeping track of stuff and trying to find something in twitter is a royal pain. I was looking for something to keep stuff organized track clicks, RT and whatever else and they did it. If I find something better I just may switch.
Although I wish they had some more options, its too bad they went the way of paying for more options but it is what it is right. Of course like most things there are work arounds not many but a few.
I agree Cj but it still offers a great number of options with the free version to me. I mean the scheduling and being able to save post and tweets for later use has been a major time saver. As far as monitoring you get that for free as well. I think the paid version is to intergrate google analytics that is a little to involved for me anyhow. Thanks for the comment.

Hi Steve, I just wrote a blog post about another extension from Hootsuite. They just recently bought Twitterbar and renamed it Hootbar. With this new app you can send messages right from the navigation bar. Check out my post with the title “How to make your Twitter life easier”. I think you will like it.

Thanks for the heads up Karin and I will. That is what I love about the hootlet that same capability.
Hi Steve,
I am so glad I found the link (because Debbie Lattuga shared it on Facebook)to this great tutorial.
It was really good to see hootsuit ‘in action’ through your tutorial and now I understand how it works I think I will use it. The hootlet bookmarking is a hoot too (LOL).
Thank You so much for sharing this!

I too discovered the Hootlet this week and another cool Twitter tool. It’s called Bufferapp and it’s free. You can set up 10 scheduled times to publish tweets, then you use something similar to the Hootlet to load up the buffer. Here’s a link http://bufferapp.com/r/58feb

hi Steve,
Hootsuite is a hoot – LOL! I love it although I confess there are many more creative ways to use it that I still haven’t taken time to learn. Mari Smith told me to use well over a year ago and it has taken me time to get around to it – pity I took so long. Hootsuite is one of those key tools that should be in very serious internet marketer’s tool-kits. Thanks for a great useful article, Steve!
Blessings
Clare
Thank you Clare! Well I feel honored if Mari Smith recommended we really she be using it. Love her like page. Glad my little post could help and thanks for the visit.
Steve
Thanks for sharing this, Steve! Anything that will help me organize the bits and pieces, thereby saving time, HAS to be a good thing. I’m definitely going to look into this some more, because I think it will help me.
Willena Flewelling
Hello Willena well I certainly hope so! I think you will really enjoy it once you get the basics down. Thanks for stopping by Willena.
HootSuite is by far my favorite time-saving tool! And this is a great new feature that I just learned from watching your video. Thanks for sharing the tip, I need to go add it to my toolbar now!
Hey Nicole how are you? I agree it is fast becoming mine as well. It took me awhile to give up tweetdeck but man there is so many more great features there it’s unreal and free.
I’ve been using Hootsuite for a month now and I’m hooked! It truly is a very versatile application and it makes updating my social media profiles easy. Plus the little owl is so cute!
You did a great job of showing the power of Hootsuite, especially the feature that allows you to schedule posts. I usually set my tweets and status updates the day before and then I don’t have to worry about it.
Hey Hazel thank you for the kind words and a note that is what is great about hootesuite you can do all of the scheduling and more. Thanks for the visit.
I have to say I never heard of this tool until I received a communication from a friend which made a mention of this tool. I have been so busy lately and have not had any real time to investigate hootsuite as it seems that there is a learning curve involved in it, but you have encouraged me to do it now.
Thank you
Stevie
Hello Stevie how are you? You will love hootesuite it’s very intuitive and easy to use and there is plenty of other good info out there thanks for the visit.
Steve

What a neat tool. I have heard of hootesuite but never tried it before. Now I will check it out. It could save me a lot of time going from place to place to post.
Erica
Hello Erica yes I would have to say that it is a great time saver. With the scheduling features and all the other advantages hard not to try it at least.
Steve
This is an interesting video tutorial on Hootsuite, and very timely for me. I use tweetdeck, but a client of mine is asking me to use hootsuite for her. Thanks for the great tip!
Hello Andy your welcome and I can totally relate I was a tweetdeck user as well and I still love the interface better but hootesuite has just so much more to offer I’m afraid I am leaving my first love.
Steve
Hi Steve,
Thank you for your video on hootsuite. I downloaded it and I think I’m just starting to understand it’s power. I think it will take more training and practice but it is so worth it! Thanks for recommending this awesome tool. In the long run it is going to save a TON of time:) You did an excellent job with this video and I really like it. Thumbs up!
Hey Raena how are you? Well thanks for that and I hope it helped. Yes it can be a very useful and powerful tool to have at your disposal. Thanks for the visit.
Hi Steve,
I have used Hoot but must confess not so much to have known about this bookmark function. T’is very cool and I sure appreciate your sharing this with us! Keep up the great work. I look forward to more
Linnea yeah I found it by accident myself and glad I did! I am also glad you stopped by much appreciated.
Interesting article, and I’m definitely going to check that tool out! I see you’re featuring Chris Farrell’s eBook on your site. He is awesome and what a great membership program he has. I tell everyone he cut months off my learning curve when I started!
Hello Marquita I think you will like it. It is very handy and yes I love Chris Farrell it’s one of really good clickbank products around. Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Steve,
You always have great tutorials and find awesome little tools. I will definitely have to start using hootsuite. I love how simple it is to syndicate and to schedule posts for a variety of social media accounts. Thanks for pointing out the hootlet to the Hewlett! haha
Wendy
Hi there Hewlett! I am glad you liked it just so you know I will never look at it the same now my Hewlett Bookmarklet that is to funny. Thanks for stopping by Wendy great post by the way.
Steve
Hi Steve,
Someone shared with me Hootsuite a few weeks ago, and I absolutely LOVE it! I love being able to schedule messages. I can now write my blog and schedule messages all in one time period, and still add to the messages throughout the week as I choose. Love, love, love it!!!
I didn’t know about the bookmark, though, so thanks for sharing that. I’m going to go and add it to my toolbar now
Hello Sherry how are you. Yes it is quite a handy tool I really love it and literally use it everyday. The ability to schedule and share content that I come across is amazing I love that aspect of it. Glad you like it and thanks again for the visit.
