Stream” guide that automatically appeared in your new tab and
follow the prompts. Click and drag your tabs along the top of the
dashboard to put them in an order that works best for you.
• Keep the naming convention short, so that you can fit more tabs
visible along the top.
• Note: Streams help further breakdown each tab according to
social networks, apps, functionality, keyword searches, etc.
Slide: 15

16. How to add Streams to your Tab
• Every stream inside your tab is self-contained. So
you can monitor the Tweets, Facebook photos, and
YouTube searches related to your Tab title.
• To add a social network: in the stream guide click
“Networks”, scroll to find the network and its
associated options menu will appear. From there,
select the network’s functionality of your choice for
that stream.
• For example, let’s say you’re setting up a Twitter tab
for your business. We recommend that you add
different streams within that tab for your business’
Home Feed, Mentions, Direct Messages and
ReTweets.
Slide: 16

17. Use the Stream that suits you
• There are different Stream types depending on which Social Media channel is
selected. Start by choosing the associated channel account, then select the options
you require.
Slide: 17

18. How to adjust Stream size
• To help you adjust your stream width, use the handy toggle bar.
• In the far right corner of your tab row you will find the toggle bar. Slide the toggle back
and forth to adjust stream widths.
Slide: 18

19. Instagram is now on Hootsuite
Slide: 19

20. How to add an app
• To add an app: in the stream guide click “Apps,”
scroll to find your app of choice and follow the
prompts from there for signing in and set-up.
• For example, let’s say you’re setting up an
“Instagram” tab for your business. We recommend
that you add different streams for your Home Feed
and Your Photos. Add another stream for the
Statigram App to monitor your Instagram analytics.
Slide: 20

21. Which App would I recommend?
• With 126 Apps to choose from, you have a lot of
selection choice!
• I’ve listed some of the popular apps which I use to
connect other services, other social media accounts,
provide enhanced information with the social media
accounts I use, or simply to collate content I can
repurpose as part of my content marketing strategy.
Slide: 21

event, you create a Tweet wall that your guests can get involved with.

network activity, ViralTag for Pinterest actually adds
the ability to post to Pinterest. That means that it also
includes Hootsuite's scheduling options so that now,
you can publish Pinterest shares at the most
optimum times for your network, as well as ensure

ViralTag.

month thereafter subscription fee.
