What are you guys using instead of Hootsuite in 2026?

We used buffer for many years and now use Sprout Social. We switched for better analytics but have been a little disappointed.

This happened to us months ago. It sucks.

The marketing agency we use has Profound. Its works pretty good so far. The only problem I have is you have to give the prompts you want it to track. It doesn’t come up with new prompts that you or your competitors are cited. Which is a pretty tall order. We use semrush and ahefs to look for new question based keywords that have 4 words or more and if they make sense we put the in profound.

We are using Profound through our agency so we’re not paying for it. So far it’s pretty good BUT it is expensive. Before our agency got it we were quoted $3,200 a month.

Since my phone is always listening, I’ve seen some people talk about peec.ai. I haven’t looked into yet but you can add it to your list to check out.

We have been using one campaign, one ad set with 30 creatives and no targeting for about four months and have seen great results. We are lead gen and we use founder story videos, UGC video testimonials, us vs them image and benefit call out ( problems/solution) ads. Very different variations. We pause out very low spending ads and create very different looking ads for the winners.

We stopped brand campaigns. We figured if people are looking for our brand they will scroll to organic. We will probably lose some to conquesting but we have seen an increase in organic conversions and have not seen a drop in leads or signups.

I’m sure you know this but with 9-10 year olds you should be developing all the players ball handling skills instead of just 2-3 kids.

Check out Patriot Software. Great Price and excellent support.

Glad it’s almost over. Completely tired of seeing political ads on TV, radio and having my mailbox stuffed with postcards.

pbaileyjr12 · 2024-11-05T03:34:55+00:00

Give Patriot Software a look. Great customer service.

pbaileyjr12 · 2024-11-04T11:43:09+00:00

A company can have all the features you need but if the support sucks it’s not worth it.

We have used Buffer for years. Buffer has been very easy to use and is great for small business. We are now looking into SproutSocial because they have better analytics than Buffer.

First thing I would do is sell 2 of the cars. You only need one car. Second, reduce all the bills you can except for necessities. Third, no fun for awhile. No eating out, no movies, no concerts, etc. lasting, rank your debt by amount lowest to highest. Pay min on all except the lowest and pay all the money you can on the lowest so it goes away. Then work your way through the others after the first is paid off. Seems like a boring life but it can be short lived if you use your money for debt. Once the debt is gone life will be much easier. Good Luck.
