In the past, I’ve discussed a variety of ways for businesses to improve their reach through social media. From step-by-step marketing guides to advertising-based posts, I have done it all.
This time around, I want to discuss 13 tools that can make or break your social media marketing strategy. With the right tools on your side, the sky’s the limit. Without these, however, you will be facing an uphill battle.
Here are 13 tools you need to learn before going “all in” with your social media strategy...
Whether you’re using social media to build awareness for your business, to drive leads to your sales force or anything else in between, it’s important to be familiar with all of the social media platforms at your disposal.
With that in mind, below is a list of the top 52 social media platforms. They’re broken into 3 categories — social media platforms that help you network (like LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.); social media platforms that help you promote (like YouTube, blogs, etc.); and social media platforms that help you share (like Buffer, Hootsuite, etc.).
Ready? Here goes....
Content promotion takes a lot of time.
In many cases, it takes longer than it does to create the content itself.
This means efficiency is key.
And to achieve efficiency, as well as consistent results from your promotion efforts, you need tools.

Tools are what this post is all about.
I’ve put together a list of 15 tools that can help you promote content more effectively....

So I’ve made a list of 16 different tools in four major social media marketing categories and organized them by level. Some people might not be the same level across the chart, though. In building a website, they might not have any problem putting together a brand new self-hosted WordPress site, but be at a loss to create an image. But the chart will give you an overall sense of where you should be, and how to improve using these new tools....

Slack is different. Being always-up-and-always-on, it keeps the state of a conversation saved and searchable, so you can go back to any message, at any point in time. This has changed the way our team conversations look like. From heavy-boilerplate dialogs, to something that resembles a single, continuous thought, gradually being developed over time.
No additional ceremony, no going back and forth. Just that, a directed thought flow, starting from a single idea, and developing over time. No wonder why agile teams like ours, previously appalled by the idea of spending time writing memos, dev logs, reports, using project management tools, etc, so happily adopted Slack....
