I have successfully set up professional pages for myself! Facebook has been a bit of a challenge to customize completely due to a janky UI, but overall, this has all gone well.
My biggest anxiety with managing multiple professional social media accounts was how to find time to maintain all of them and remember to post, but I found a great tool for this: Buffer
Buffer is a social media management tool that allows one to design, edit, and schedule social media posts from one centralized platform on their laptop or desktop (a godsend to people like me who prefer larger screens and full keyboards!)
The user interface is very clean and straightforward– like early web levels of easy. Nothing is hidden. There’s no pushy stuff trying to get your credit card information (while Hootsuite wants about $150 a month for similar management tools).
I can plan out regularly scheduled posts weeks or even months in advance and not worry about over-posting, over-sharing, or abandoning any of these accounts due to feeling overwhelmed and frustrated with the time it takes to post on each one separately.
I feel like I’ve truly arrived now when it comes to marketing myself!
