How to use Hootsuite
Open your browser.
You can either
sign-in with Twitter,
…with Facebook,
…with Google +
…or create a new
account in Hootsuite.
For now, let’s create
a new account.
Enter your full name.
Enter your email
address.
Enter your password.
Then click
“Create Account”.
We’re done creating
an account.
Now let’s add the
social networks.
Click on the social networks you want
to add.
Every time you
choose a network,
…you will be asked to log-in and
authorize
…Hootsuite to be connected to that certain network.
For now, I’ve chosen Twitter and Facebook.
When you’re done adding your social
networks, click “Continue”.
Then click
“Done adding Social
Networks”.
Welcome to
Hootsuite Page!
Here you can see
tabs,
…which you can
rename.
If you want to add more tabs, click
+
Name your newly
added tab
Then add a stream or
social network.
You can create
numbers of tabs…
…to organize your
Hootsuite Page.
But first, let’s go back to our Personal
tab.
There are two ways
to add a stream.
First is through this
pre-made stream.
Choose whether you’re going to add a
network,
…or application.
Then choose what profile on what
account..
…you are going to
use.
I have chosen my
account in Twitter.
For this stream, I’ve
chosen “Followers”.
We now have added a stream.
The second way to
create a stream…
…is to click
+Add Stream
Choose from what network you want to
add a stream.
Select a profile.
Select the type of stream.
Click the + sign to add stream
A new stream
was added!
Now let’s just add a new stream for
Facebook.
For this, I chose “Timeline”
To compose a
message,
...to be posted in both Twitter and
...hover over your
cursor on the arrow
…then choose the
profiles,
…you want to post
your message to.
I’ve chosen my Twitter and Facebook
accounts.
The “2” represents the number of
networks
…I’ve chosen to post
my message to.
Now let’s compose a
message.
Hootsuite also allows
you to add a link
…or attach an image
or a file.
To add a link, copy and paste your
chosen link
…then click “Shrink”.
When you’re done
with your message,
…click “Send Now”.
You can now see the
message
…you’ve composed on the streams you’ve created.
Save time and effort from posting to different social
networks!
