Using various social media platforms today is not at all complex or difficult. However, there are still some social media tools you can use to save time when sharing your posts which can also help improve your marketing efforts.
These new social media tools you can use include the following:
Rival IQ – This tool allows you to track competitors and analyze the results of your social media marketing campaign. Through this app, you will get a weekly email that contains a PowerPoint presentation to show how your social media accounts are performing, how they compare to your competitors, any changes your competitors are making and breakout posts.
BoardBooster – Use this tool to schedule Pinterest posts. This app boasts of various remarkable features but one of the most notable is its “looping” ability – a feature that enables you to set a board to repin an older pin from that board, and then deletes the original pin or the new pin, depending on which one performed better. This permits users to keep each of the boards active daily while repinning impressive stuff.
Revive Old Post – This tool (and its plugin) will pull from all of your existing blog posts and post them randomly to your Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn accounts automatically. With this app, you won’t ever have to worry about scheduling any of your latest or evergreen blog posts on your different social media accounts.
Periscope – With this tool, you can broadcast live calls to action (CTAs). By using Periscope, you can easily connect with your audience by providing free, valuable content with the push of a button, make announcements, ask your audience questions, get feedback on ideas and invite people to events.
Google Photos – With its free option, Google Photos will upload every photo it finds on your devices. This tool also automatically backs up all of your pictures to the Cloud and move photos from one device to another. With this tool, you can also make collages, animations and stories from your collection of pictures.
Blab.im – Periscope and Meerkat are both great for broadcasting one-to-many, but Blab makes social media truly social again since it has a conversational component. By launching the site or app, you will watch conversations take place; conversations you can actually participate in. Content creators of all kinds are leveraging this powerful tool to engage others and build community due to its ease-of-use, intuitive interface and an iOS app that make blabbing on the go simpler. You can definitely achieve socialized broadcasting with this tool.
