There are so many social media marketing tools there that for the beginner it can feel overwhelming. When you search from the Google “What is The Best Social Media Marketing Tool?” No one seems to give you the clear answer.
There are texts like, ” 17 social media marketing tools that you can’t live without.” or “30 highest quality Twitter Tools.”
They give you so many different tools, then give 50 words description about the tool and then leave you alone. Very helpful? Not really. I have once started and been the beginner so I know how it feels to be looking for the best tool without a clear answer.
Today I want to give you my honest and clear answer on what is the best social media marketing tool and why. (Spoiler: My #1 social media tool here is Hootsuite)
Tweepi, Manageflitter, Buffer, Hootsuite…
All of these tools are good and I use them almost daily (Buffer not anymore because Hootsuite is better). I already wrote how to get Twitter followers fast by using Tweepi and how to unfollow people on Twitter by using Manageflitter. Both of those tools are great social media marketing tools but they are not the best.
In my opinion, Hootsuite is the best.
Also, the famous online entrepreneur Marc Guberti likes Hootsuite the most.
Use Several Social Medias with One Click
There are Twitter Tools. There are Facebook tools. There are Google+ tools.
But Hootsuite is the social media tool where you can use all of them at the same time.
You can connect all your social medias to Hootsuite at the same time. Once you want to publish a new post/tweet/link in your social medias you can publish in all of them with only one click.
Bulkscheduler – 350 Posts with One Click
I love bulkscheduler! It was the main reason that I decided to buy the premium account in Hootsuite.
With the bulkscheduler, you are able to publish 350 posts with only one click (okay, maybe a few clicks more but still). Actually, you can schedule 350 to all of your social media sites with only one click.
And once you have prepared your social media posts you can use them over and over again without using the time for writing and publishing them again. Hootsuite makes the work for you.
You Can Master the Best Tool!
I remember when I first started to use Hootsuite.
It didn’t feel very simple tool. So many icons and options everywhere. “How could I use this???” was my initial thought.
Then I abandoned Hootsuite for quite a while until I found it again. Buffer seemed simpler so I decided to use it. But it seemed to take too much time. Not very much but still I was thinking that there must a better way to automate tweets.
I kept on looking and after all, I found Hootsuite.
I watched some Hootsuite tutorials from Youtube and I searched Google for the answers. Then I found out that Hootsuite isn’t so complicated after all. I just needed to watch some videos to understand how it works.
So don’t worry if it feels too scary in the beginning. Just use some time for it and you will master it. Then after a little while, it feels like the simplest tool in the world.
Here is one great Hootsuite tutorial for beginners:
Hootsuite Bulkscheduler – The Power in Your Hands!
Hootsuite bulkscheduler was the main reason that I decided to buy the premium version in Hootsuite.
That tool is totally awesome and powerful!
With the Bulkscheduler you can schedule 350 FB posts/tweets WITH ONE CLICK
Imagine how much time it would take to write your tweets and posts over and over again. With the Bulkscheduler, you need to write your posts only once and then you can publish them over and over again with one click.
Before I earned approximately 1,500-3,000 impressions on Twitter. As I started using the Bulkscheduler a number of impressions instantly jumped more than 10 times! (see the images below)
I started to have the same amount in one hour that I before had in the whole day.
Using Bulkscheduler – Prepare it and… BANG!
When you start using the Bulkscheduler you need to use a little bit of time to write and arrange your tweets.
First, it takes some time but then the effort will pay back itself VERY FAST.
Here is a great tutorial on Youtube that helped me when I started using Bulkscheduler for the first time.
As the woman explains in the video, you can arrange your tweets using Google Spreadsheet. Then download the file in CSV. format and submit it to Hootsuite.
Conclusion – What is The Best Social Media Marketing Tool?
There are many good tools out there and I recommend to use many of them. I use personally Tweepi, Manageflitter, and Hootsuite.
But if I should need to choose only one social media marketing tool it would be Hootsuite.

What is The Best Social Media Marketing Tool in your opinion?
Update!!! 26.12.2016: Today I published a review about MassPlanner which is also an awesome social media tool. I would recommend to try both MassPlanner and Hootsuite. There is a free trial in both of them so you can try them for free. I have bought the premium version of both and I can honestly say that they are worth it. They are both very cheap and you can get a great value for your money.

Great article, I have only heard of Hootsuite once so I really didn’t know that much about it. To see that you can post to several social medias from one place is great to know and the bulkscheduler it sound like a great tool to use. But what if you don’t have 350 posts can you still use bulkscheduler?
Hi Dawn and thank you for the question.
Yes, you can use the bulkscheduler to schedule 1-350 posts. So even if you want to schedule 1,5 or 10 posts/tweets, that’s certainly possible. 350 is just the upper limit but not many people have so many posts scheduled at the same time 😉

I used to use the free version of HootSuite and found it to be very beneficial. Then I forgot about it again until reading your post.
Maybe I must relook HootSuite. How much is it to go Premium? I tend to neglect my social media marketing a lot, as it takes so much time and just tweet my posts to a couple of places. Thirty-five sites does sound like a hell of a lot to maintain, but maybe with Hootsuite it will be easier.
Hi Michel,
Premium account in Hootsuite costs around $10/month. If you take the annual membership then it’s a little bit less.
I was thinking the same way that social media marketing took a lot of time. But after starting in Hootsuite I haven’t used so much time in social media marketing yet I have been more effective and have been able to do much more with less time.
If you need some help with Hootsuite or some other social media tool I will be more than happy to help you!

Great list and article – cover some cool options here. I personally love buffer as buffer allows you to have a free account to manage one Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn account with up to 10 updates in your buffer, aka scheduler. On top of this you can post up to 100 a day with a small monthly fee – I think I pay about a tenner a month. What do you think of buffer?
Thank you for sharing your experiences with Buffer Chris!
As you mention, there are some cool features in Buffer and I know that some successful online marketers use Buffer. I have tried Buffer also but I prefer Hootsuite because of Bulkscheduler. You can also manage several social media tools in Hootsuite at the same time as in Buffer.
I think this is the matter of taste. Both of them are great tools but I just find Hootsuite easier to use. When I was using Buffer it took more time to arrange all tweets. I find it easier in Hootsuite. The price of the premium account is more or less the same.
