intellectual-property, employees, securityI’m hiring a social media assistant. That person will need to be able to use my accounts on various sites: Twitter, Facebook, etc. (I am my brand, BrettFromLA.) Since the duties will take just a few hours a week, I predict there might be turnover in the position. How should I approach sharing passwords with the employee(s)?
One thought is that I could create a new password incorporating something unique to that person, like their middle name (“123Marie456”). That would be simple to switch if I hire a new person.
I’d love to have additional “administrator” accounts on various sites but I bet a lot of sites don’t allow multiple users for a single account.
What other approaches might work for this?
Not sure if it qualifies for a full-fledged answer, but there are several applications that allow one to delegate access to social media accounts without actually sharing passwords, such as TweetDesk or Hootsuite.
For other options you can try searching the internets for "social media management applications".
