Instagram on Hootsuite: Is it worth it?

This week was an exciting one in the world of social media automation. Hootsuite rolled out integration with Instagram! I was beyond excited, because every now and then there is something I want to make sure is posted at a certain time, but I'm not always able to stop and actually make the post at that time. That's what automation is about, right? Sometimes in business you just don't have time to post on the fly, you're running the 300 other parts of your business. But I digress, that is a topic for another time.

Social Media Marketing Is Not Direct Marketing

I understand where a business is coming from. The goal of a business is to sell a product. Every move it makes, every step it takes (h/t The Police) is calculated and designed to reach that goal of making the sale. A business should have marketing systems in place that do this; whether T.V. or radio spots, fliers in the mail or email. A social media marketing campaign should help support these other systems.

When Your Name Is Your Brand

Being your own brand has its own set of challenges. It’s the first and foremost way you will advertise your business, always. When I first made this decision, I had a small panic attack. I’m a very open person online. I pretty much communicate online as I would in person, what you see is what you get. No one has ever said to me “you are not how I expected you to be!” when they meet me in person (other than the occasional “you’re shorter than I expected.”). I’m actually proud of that, because it is my belief that you should just be open and honest, good or bad, in how you present yourself online. But that is a different post for a different day. However, I noticed I was beginning to be a little more conscious of how I interacted and presented myself online.
