Social Media Tools to Make Your Life Just a Little Easier

We start almost every article about social media with statistics or facts to prove how important it is. We often list a ton of advantages to this form of Internet marketing and emphasize how relevant it is to YOUR law practice.

Okay, so you got the point. You understand that you need to get involved with social media. The problem is – you’re overwhelmed.

There are some tools out there that can help you not only manage your social media marketing efforts, but also help you maximize the benefits of it. Below are brief descriptions of some of the tools available that will make your life just a little easier.

• TweetDeck.com: Since Twitter seems to be the most confusing social media site for attorneys, we’re going to start with a site designed for Twitter users. TweetDeck is a free service that gives you the ability to organize your Twitter account using columns, saved searches and groups. According to TweetDeck, it is “air traffic control for Twitter.” This tool allows you to schedule tweets, group people together and search for specific topics. TweetDeck also helps you manage other social media sites, including Foursquare, Google Buzz and Facebook.
• Twuffer.com: This tool is another one geared towards Twitter. It doesn’t have as many features as TweetDeck, but it does allow you to schedule tweets. That means you can write a week’s worth of tweets in one sitting and schedule future posting dates.
• HootSuite.com: HootSuite is very similar to TweetDeck in that it helps you manage multiple social media sites all in one place. You can schedule future postings on the various social media platforms. HootSuite also has a dashboard where you can see your various accounts. The website even provides you with the capability to track your results.
