My fellow bloggers always send me mails and
messages on how I use hootsuite to drive traffic
to my blog, I always explain it to them but some
will still be confused on how to use it effectively
so i decided to write a tutorial on it so that they
can fully understand it and those that have not
heard of it too can use it.....
So lets get started. You can use Hootsuite to
drive traffic to your website or blog by connecting
it with your Facebook, Twitter or GooglePlus
accounts so that you can schedule posts which
will be posted automatically on this social media
platforms.
Now you are ready use to Hootsuite, go to :

an hootsuite account. After you finish setting up
your Hootsuite account and you logged in you will
see the screen below.
Click on '' Add Social Networks '', a new window
will pop up as seen below :
You can connect only one social network if you're
still using the free account but if you upgrade to
Hootsuite Pro, you can connect as many as you
want. See the screen below after I connected my
Facebook account.
In the screen above you can see the Facebook
groups I belong to but you I can only add 2
groups because I am still using free account, you
should now add the two groups you want to be
posting in.
Now we are done with the connecting ish, lets

do the work for us automatically.
