Video Transcript | Intro

Hey everyone, Cail Judy here from Hootsuite here. Say you just signed up for a Hootsuite account. Problem is, you don’t know what to post. 

Maybe you’re into basketball. 

Maybe you work for a hospital. 

Maybe you manage influencer marketing for your company.  

Hootsuite can help you find content to share that matters to you. 


Hootsuite Syndicator

Say you’re a big Toronto Raptors fan, and you want to post the latest basketball content from your favorite sports sites. I would recommend installing Hootsuite Syndicator, an app that allows you to search for your favorite websites and add them to your Hootsuite dashboard. 

Once you’ve added HoopsHype.com, Raptors HQ (etc) all the latest posts about the Raptors will start populating in your Hootsuite dashboard and you can schedule them to go out all week long. 

  • Install the HS Syndicator app

  • Search for Sports RSS feeds

  • Add them to a stream and filter them


Curate by Upcontent

Say you work for a big healthcare company and you want to post about the trending content. You can set-up a free trial with Curate by Upcontent to discover the best content. You can even collaborate with your team to tag specific articles you think will resonate with your audience the most. We have a free forever plan that allows one active topic forever. 

We also offer a 14 day free trial of any higher plan (starting at $15/month) should they want additional capabilities. 

  • Install Curate by Upcontent

  • Add healthcare related content

  • Publish with the new Compose!


Right Relevance Pro

Say you manage influencer marketing at your company. You’re looking for influencers in your space to connect with, but you’re not sure where to start. Right Relevance Pro will surface trending content and show you people you should connect with on the topics that matter to you.  

  • Install RRP

  • Search for “Birding” or whatever we decide to focus on
