Hootsuite has recently given users the ability to add additional social networks, eg. LinkedIn to your Hootsuite control panel. This tutorial will showcase how to do just this.

Why Add Other Social Media Accounts To Hootsuite

01. Convenience: With Hootsuite’s new integration, you have the convenience of viewing all your mulitple social media accounts from one powerful client, instead of logging into 3 different services.

02. Control: The Big 3 social media networks I participate in are: Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. This new integration gives me control of my Big 3, check updates and feedback on friends’ updates from one control panel. And since Hootsuite is web-based, I can login to my account at any Internet cafe or even at a friend’s home.

03. Accomplish More: Since I’m saving time (and in essence, money) with this convenience and control – assuming I’m being intentional in my social media efforts – this allows me to get on with my other ‘spinning plates’ for a productive day.
