3 Time Saving Tools For Social Media Updates 

One of the most common push backs I get from potential clients and clients about using social marketing and media for expanding their reach is " I just don't have time." And I say, "I hear ya!" After all, time is something we can't purchase...or can we?

If you are going to fight the social marketing movement (and again, if you read this blog on a regular basis, you know I do not advocate using social marketing unless it makes sense for your business...which it does), just because you say you don't have enough time, then here are three simple tools to update virtually every social marketing outlet.

1. dlvr.it - delivers content to Facebook, Twitter and more.

2. HootSuite - my personal favorite, has a huge amount of features for updating and following streams on Facebook, Twitter and other social marketing outlets.

3. ping.fm - just picked up this piece of advice today while attending the Social Media Magic University conducted by Greig Wells from BeFoundJobs.com.

Ok, so get over the "time crunch" and block out set periods of time each day to conduct your social marketing. And along the way, be efficient, systematic, authentic and provide value while playing in the social marketing game.
