I do. It's a great way to schedule stuff and interact with the accounts. I also use Buffer, which is good strictly for posting. Both can do Instagram from your computer, which is nice (via a phone app and some sorcery).

I tried it once, did not like the lack of control, and did not like to give them access to all my stuff so discontinued right away.

I have used HootSuite, TweetDeck, Buffer, and several others. Use them as you need to, but beware that if the posts "Look automated", they will be ignored.

I do not use Hootsuite. I auto post to LI FB and Twitter from my WP sites. That's about all for me. It may be more than enough.

Hi Karen Jones Lewis, MBA, Realtor!
I have Hootsuite but, learned that I was auto-posting things to my social media sites and wasn't interacting. The set-it-and-forget-it mentality doesn't make you engaging!
So, now, I post myself on my SM sites and am THERE to respond and engage with others! The time involved in being there, front-and-center is so minimal that it's well worth the effort.

We use Hootsuite and have been using it for many years. There is a free version and a paid version. What is really cool about it, is you can pull in your columns of your social media, like a dashboard so you can see what is going on and reply very quickly from one platform to another. It saves a lot of time. You can also pull in twitter streams on different hashtag searches and trends. It would take a book to say all it can do.
The paid version allows us to publish our posts out for 21 days. I use Hootsuite mostly for Twitter. Twitter is a very good google juice ranking signal.
I do not use it for Facebook because I like more one on one engagment on FB.

I use it & like it but .... Friends&Me works better because I can post on G+ which you can't do with Hootsuite.

I do not use it but I have fb and twitter connected somehow so what I post on my biz fb page posts to twitter automatically. I can't even remember what program it is. Social media isn't a big part of my business plan though. I rarely use it.-Kasey

I used to have an account, it worked OK.
I gave it up 2 years ago though, I'm using other methods now.
It is good to delegate the $15.00 labor and focus on the $150.00/hr labor as CEO of your business. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean it's a good use of your time to do it.

I do use Hootsuite. It is a time saver.....HOWEVER...
The paid 'professional' version has the tools you can really use.
Lets say you have a SM identify of Karen Jones Lewis and Select Buyer Group brand and MyLakesideHomes.com collateral. It becomes feasible and much easier to interconnect and leverage using the multi-account (professional) version of Hootsuite.
Other dashboards are available that will switch position of up to three paragraphs or text based on destination. This has become less important in toady's ranking algorithms.
It does do what it is supposed to do. However when 'stuff' happens you can not know who is at fault. AR has taught us how to be patient when 'stuff' never seems to go away.

I love it! I use it to keep track of, post to, and basically manage my Twitter interactions. I occasionally use it for G+ too but not nearly as frequently as I do for Twitter.

I tried it once but it seemed you need the pro account to really get the benefits. I'm going to try it again when I find the time.

Karen Jones Lewis, MBA, Realtor I have paid for it - and do NOT use it at all! Sad but true - who has so much of time!

I have in the past but don't any longer. I have decided to pick and choose and do a unique intro to each post.

I do not use 3rd party applications for posts. I just schedule it to myself time to post min twice/week on each.
Let us know if you find it beneficial for your business to schedule posts in advance.
