How to Manage Your Multiple Social Media Accounts Using VBOUT

The desire to establish and nurture personal connections at scale, combined with advancements in digital technology, has driven the evolution of social media.

What’s particularly noteworthy is its growth both sociologically and commercially, and the shift it has introduced to the world of marketing.

According to Maryville University, in less than a generation, social media transitioned from a direct electronic information exchange to a virtual gathering place, then to a retail channel, and now to an indispensable marketing platform in the 21st century.

Companies generally utilize social media marketing to enhance awareness and foster engagement.

Many marketers find it challenging to pinpoint which social media networks their target audience predominantly uses. This can lead to focusing on the wrong channels and targeting the wrong audience.

Therefore, it’s crucial to discern where your target audience spends their time. To achieve this, begin by creating customer personas. This will enable you to determine which networks your business should prioritize in order to maximize engagement and website traffic.

Next, evaluate insights such as clicks, engagement, post impressions, and video views across all your social networks to identify which channels are performing best. Instead of examining insights on a per-channel basis, tools like VBOUT allow you to view metrics and insights for all networks simultaneously. This means you can navigate between profiles easily, without the need to log in and out or juggle multiple tabs, thereby streamlining the process of assessing the performance of all your channels.

Monitoring these KPIs gives you a comprehensive view of your social media performance across all platforms. You can track changes in your follower count, determine if the engagement rate for your posts or videos is improving, and identify which content types are driving these improvements.

If you find certain strategies are particularly effective, it makes sense to continue implementing them. Moreover, understanding which platforms deliver the best results can guide your focus. For example, if Facebook and Instagram consistently outperform LinkedIn or YouTube, you might prioritize efforts on those channels, or consider re-evaluating or tweaking your social media strategy on LinkedIn.

Additionally, consider using Google Analytics to enhance your social media auditing strategy. It can help you determine which channels are generating the most favorable outcomes for your business.
For added convenience, you can integrate Google Analytics with VBOUT, allowing you to seamlessly visualize and interpret the data within one platform.

Below are the following data that become visible to you, right from the VBOUT dashboard, by implementing this integration:

• Overview chart: Visits, unique visitors, bounce rate, percentage of new visits, page views, and pages/visit
• Overview sparkline: Number of visits, unique visitors, pageviews, bounce rate, average visit duration, and percentage of new visits
• Demographics: Age, gender.
• Visitor sources: New visitors VS returning visitors
• Number of users across various devices: Desktop, mobile and tablet
• Social referral: The number of sessions generated by each social channel
• Keywords: The number of sessions generated by your pages and blogs, having the keywords relevant to your industry

By focusing on specific metrics like bounce rate and average session duration, you can fine-tune your posts to keep your audience more engaged.

The more accounts you have, the higher the likelihood of confusion. With numerous accounts, the potential for oversight in managing them increases. For example, during particularly busy or extended work weeks, you might inadvertently neglect a specific network or fail to compose/schedule particular posts for some of your profiles.

Another challenge is the logistical hassle of being unable to manage all social media platforms in one place. This requires you to sign out from one network and sign in to another. If you have multiple accounts on the same platform, this issue persists, albeit to a lesser degree.

Leveraging a social media management platform can significantly alleviate these problems. Such a platform enables you to post across all channels simultaneously, respond to comments, assess analytics, and more. Additionally, you receive real-time notifications, alerting you about which platforms require your attention at any given moment.
