Manage. Measure. Message
Here are a couple of cool tools that can help you manage your social media. Have you heard of them? Are there others that you use? Please share!
1. muckrack.com/whosharedmylink –Enter the link to a blog post or article in its search box and it will tell you how many times its been shared and on which social networks. If you sign up for the Pro plan, you can see which journalists or bloggers are sharing your stuff
2. whounfollowedme.com — While it may be hard to stomach the thought that anyone would want to unfollow you, it does happen. The nice thing about Who Unfollowed Me is that it also tells you who’s following you that you’re not following back and who you’re following who’s not following you back. Makes it a lot easier to weed out your followers who aren’t providing value and follow those who you may be able to cultivate a relationship with.
3. bitly.com — Use this tool to shorten your links and free up valuable real estate on Twitter. In addition, Bitly analyzes your links, bookmarks your favorite sites and can be used across multiple platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google+.
4. hootsuite.com — Hootsuite is considered the best social media tool for managing all of your social networks in one place. They have a free, pro, and enterprise version and you can track conversations, analyze campaigns, post across all your networks from one place, autoschedule them and much more.
5. bufferapp.com — The beauty of Buffer is that it lets you schedule specific content for certain times throughout the day, enabling you to keep to a consistent social media schedule, without keeping you from doing other important things.
