how to dominate social media with hootsuite
DESCRIPTION
On November 5, 2012, Mike Abasov talked about social media domination at an Internet Masterminds meetup (Vancouver, Canada). He discussed various secrets to saving time through efficiency and how different features of HootSuite can help businesses do that. ------- Disclosure: Mike worked at HootSuite during the period from Sep. 2010 through Sep. 2011. He is currently not paid by HootSuite in any way but still uses the product in his daily work. Basically, his opinions are probably biased. Deal with it. HootSuite, KISSmetrics, HubSpot and other trademarks and content excerpts belong to their rightful owners and are used in educational purposes under the fair use agreements.TRANSCRIPT
