Top Reddit reviews mentioning Social Media Analytics Apps:
This’s is totally a normal thing in business development and standard to ask for Product Market Fit surveys. I wouldn’t read too much into it.
Product Market Fit is the idea that you don’t have a real business if people won’t continue to buy or support your company/product. If the answer to this is bad they might reassess their products, how they market, etc.
Here’s more about PMF
You really just need to apply, go through some verification, and be a "person of interest". Presumably anyone running for Congress would qualify, even if they subsequently come in 5th or whatever.
> That would be an excellent way to further expose her.
Expose what exactly? There's plenty of shady stuff about Hillary to "expose" - the fact that she uses apps to post to more than one Twitter account at a time just shows that she's employed a "Social Media Expert" with at least 1 days experience.
It's not even a new concept really - it's called a media embargo. In this case, a SOCIAL media embargo. You produce the content that you want to release, ahead of time, and then schedule when you want it to go live.
In fact, I've got numerous friends that use tools like this, just to post their holiday photos, so it's not 100 photos being posted at once and then radio silence for another 6 months!
Here, you can try it out yourself: https://buffer.com/
Not according to this:
https://hootsuite.com/resources/case-study/five-guys-case-study
> The Five Guys online strategy—led by Online Marketing Specialist Kenneth Westling—relies primarily on social media for the bulk of their promotional activities, as well as customer service and public relations. ... > Encourage employee participation on social media
So, yeah.
I like how buffer did it. Use a formula driven by revenue. I was previously also making around $200k but live in a part of the country where Cost of LIving is low. When the convo came up as I was closing my seed round, I offered to set my salary at $65K + $15k per mil of revenue. Keeps things simple, transparent, and aligned.
edit: https://buffer.com/salary?r=1&l=10&e=2&q=0
Buffer is a 100% remote company and they keep a spreadsheet of their employees' salaries:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l3bXAv8JE5RB9siMq36-Ogngks2MT6yQ5gt8YXhUyAg/edit
They also have a calculator that you can use to calculate your salary:
Yeah. Just because the silhouette of both are similar, doesn’t really mean much in legal terms. Thats the only similarity; if you took away the colours, flattened it.
I mean in all honestly, even Shortcuts resembles the Buffer.com logo.
Don’t really see this going anywhere besides the exposure from articles writing about it.
I like Buffer for scheduling posts in advance. The free tier is just enough for me too.
But for a while I was using Edgar. And it's got some features that I haven't seen any other place use. They let you repost content. So check this out. When you publish an episode, how many times do you want to post that to social media? Of course you want it posted on day one, but then why not again the next day? And then why not post it again the next week? And then heck, why not post about it 3 months from now and 9 months from now, and then every year after that? With edgar you can make one post and it'll keep posting it on a schedule you pick like that. And so you can imagine what your social feed could look like if you had 100 episodes, and merch, and funny bits from the show, and jokes, and blog posts, and stuff, all being reposted and recycled over and over.
When I used Edgar I spent a few weeks making 3 months worth of content, then told it to just go back and reuse that content again every 3 months. However, I was having trouble with the reused content, thinking that joke isn't funny the 2nd time, or I already got my question answered the first time. So I had trouble just getting the rhythm right. But I do like it for reposting evergreen content!
Evidence: https://buffer.com/resources/facebook-algorithm
It organizes posts based on how likely someone is to interact with them.
Anecdotal experience: For work reasons I've got a bunch of people on my Facebook friends list. I had to remove one of them because he keeps posting in alt-right threads arguing with them and some days my Facebook feed would be nothing but mentions about him commenting in those 2000+ comment posts.
Even just today I've posted 3 times in a post a friend made that has about 10 posts. Now my feed is flooded with posts they've made.
As I said, all Facebook cares about is getting people to stay on Facebook and make posts. The longer people are looking at their feed the more they can charge for advertising.
When people say "Create great content", it can be frustrating.
Here's an actual "create great content" process:
- Find a competitor that seems to rank well and is creating content
- Enter their site into http://buzzsumo.com to see which of their content gets the most exposure based on social shares, links, etc. This is how you can start to define "great", at least re: how the market reacts.
- Try to spot trends after doing this with a few competitors. For example, if you thought you would write about "How to Do SEO on Your Website" but noticed that competitors get great results with case study style posts (i.e. "The Exact Content Strategy We Used to Boost Organic Search by 73% in 90 Days"), then use that as a guideline.
Cool. Constant updates are best. Try and mix in some information about health, such as lower heart-disease risk from eating veggies, lower obesity rates, lower and then back-linking to the restaurant's website. If you can interview local doctors, PAs, nurses, etc, can link those on Facebook, youtube, twitter, Instagram. Hootsuite can link all the social media platforms for you, so you just use that and post to all the sites at once and you can schedule posts out via Hootsuite, too. Basically, you can create a bunch of social media campaigns in one day and schedule them all out for like twice a week for the next few months.
I've been thinking about this....
I'm a software engineer...
So, it would be possible to AUTOMATE this...
First, if you aren't using existing Social Automation tools, you should check out: https://hootsuite.com/
With this tool, you can type one message and cross post to multiple platforms.
Second, I've been thinking of building a guerrilla platform where you could automate posting YOUR message using your SUBSCRIBERS accounts. It would work like this:
Application / system outline: 1.) person visits site, and creates account. 2.) person opts -in all their social media accounts, FaceBook, Twitter, Google+, Email, whatever.
Elaborate: Subscribers provide their social media accounts, in an opt-in, WITHOUT giving away passwords (the authentication happens via the social media platform, so you don't get their password, but they grant you permission to post, and the media platform validates) SOrry it's technical, but if you want to read about it's called OAUTH2
3.) Provide some kind of throttle or limit (time, # of posts etc) so as to not slam people accounts more than they want, OR maybe have a 'veto' option where if there is no override within a time frame it goes out automatically.
4.) Usage: Mike Cernovich would post an 'EMERGENCY' message, and click 'send', and each subscribers social media account receives a copy of your message, and it gets posted on their media.
5.) Usage two: You post articles, and 'stuff', and the user community ranks / upvotes the article and after a time it gets sent out.
This is something that could be built pretty fast (couple of weeks) but gonna cost some money for me to do that.
(Unless somebody else has built this!) I don't know about.
Because people just read headlines and picking out pieces of aggressive language or language that is perceived as negative gets the most attention.
https://buffer.com/resources/headline-strategies-psychology/
> Imagine taking a job offer but only if you can see the contracts and salaries of the other employees to make sure you are being paid fairly. That would never happen.
https://buffer.com/transparency
It happens more often than you think. Also, its against the law for your employer to prevent you from getting compensation information from co-workers once you're hired. Information asymmetry and all that jazz.
Hootsuite literally builds data monitoring apps with CCP companies like Tencent. But not a word here about that.
https://hootsuite.com/newsroom/press-releases/hootsuite-strengthens-presence-in-asia
But whatever Muh Drumpf.
“Never”, really? Don’t be such a purist. Vertical video is more engaging on social media as internet usage via mobile phone increases year over year. Your personal subjective opinion doesn’t mean that the rest of the world isn’t interested.
I wouldn't suggest you focusing on different topics (e.g. automotive, healthy lifestyle, home improvement and yoga). Such idea will likely produce content of too different topics. It will quite hard to get the right SEO, keywords, etc, because you don't really have a niche. I'd say to focus on something specific.
You can try some tool SEO tool to find the most shared topic b/w those that you've shared. For example, this one for the start: http://buzzsumo.com/
Surprised https://hootsuite.com/ isn't on the list.
Amazing free tool to manage facebook, twitter, instagram on one dashboard and even schedule up up to 30 instagram posts at a time free to post. (It does the posting for you if you have it set as an instagram business account)
Hey dude - you can only really engage with people on the desktop version, and can't post stuff. Although there are some services like Hootsuite that allow you to do this, I think? I'm not sure though as I've never used them. I mainly manage uploads etc on my mobile, which isn't too much of a struggle. I have got 3 pages though, and can see that it might become annoying in the future for sure.
Thanks!
Hello from Hootsuite! If you are managing a number of social profiles on behalf of different clients have you considered becoming one of our agency partners? Hootsuite actually started out of an agency in 2008 and we try to stay close to our roots and help agencies as much as possible. We launched our partners program to be able to provide the best Hootsuite experience as well as dedicated support and VIP service.
If you haven't checked it out already, here is the link.
Cults, including christian ones, aim to keep people uneducated. That means carefully controlling what they read. It's unlikely that your coworker was allowed to read freely.
While I appreciate u/Aro_Space_Ace's input on the matter, there is considered by most people to be a difference between "fringe" christians and outright cults. Ace's parents allowed them to read, and perhaps even encouraged a broader education. It would seem that they were not part of a full-blown cult, although they were perhaps fringe, given that mainstream christians typically don't homeschool.
A wider vocabulary requires a wider education. A wider education is very dangerous to cults.
Indeed, I posted this link in the sub today that helps you get a bit of a glimpse as to why cults would want to prevent extensive reading: https://buffer.com/resources/reading-fiction/
In essence, reading helps you develop empathy (counterproductive to christianity in general, and more so for cults), tolerance (same as for empathy--this is bad for christianity), and emotional intelligence (ditto here).
They would want their child to read the bable, but only the parts of it they wanted, and they would be super careful to inform them of how to "properly" interpret anything. All questioning would be firmly punished "to save [the child's] soul".
That's fairly standard though. It's the same in the tech industry - if you work in NYC, London or SF, your salary is adjusted to the higher cost of living. You can see an example on Buffer's salary calculator: https://buffer.com/salary
When choosing a site for a major office though, you also have to consider the pool of available talent. Sure it's cheaper to set up elsewhere, but will you be able to easily fill up a new office (with all its fixed costs that you incur from day 1) with potentially hundreds of new employees in a sensible timeframe? London's a pretty good place for finding good people in numbers across almost any profession.
One way to increase your twitter profile engagement is by engaging with other influencers in your niche yourself.
However, easier said than done right?
What I would recommend is to use this tool: http://buzzsumo.com/
What will you get by using this tool?
You will get a huge list of influencers from your niche and their reply ratio.
Extract the list and start engaging with those influencers one by one.
But engaging is not enough, you need to do it properly.
How do you do it properly?
Did they share an article? Yes. Go trough the article and ask a question.
Retweet their article and leave a compliment, for an example. "Great article, check it out!"
Another way to increase your engagement is by being very active and posting more engaging content.
By engaging content I mean, asking a question, provoking an answer or for an example post, "Like if you think X is better than Y, retweet if you think that Y is better than X".
A study of over 1 billion Facebook posts shows that posts WITHOUT hashtags generate more engagement than those with them.
http://buzzsumo.com/blog/how-to-improve-facebook-engagement-insights-from-1bn-posts/
Thanks for recommending Ritetag. Actually, what it does is far more useful than anything related to trending hashtags. In fact, the social and content networks do that for you for free.
There's a problem with trending, though, and none of the social or content networks seem to grasp this: some of need to get something back from social. Our livelihood depends on it. So, for us, rather than "trending," which just means that many people are sending posts/Tweets/etc. that contain a hashtag, we want to know which hashtags, relevant for a topic, are getting positive outcomes for those who include them in a post/tweet/upload/etc. This is exactly what RiteTag does.
- Please see, as you suggested, https://ritetag.com and test our solutions for: -hashtags for image -hashtags for a word or even a block of text
Get these features right inside your workflow by getting the RiteTag browser extension.
Questions welcome!
Hey Rob,
Just to add onto your topic, especially for Twitter, you will want to research which hashtags will be most effective to attach to your posts. Try not to use more than 3 at a time (rule of thumb) on Twitter, but feel free to spam hashtags on instagram.
For researching hashtags, check out this link. I've already searched #indiecomics. You can see related hashtags, who the big influencers are, as well as popularity.
http://hashtagify.me/hashtag/indiecomics
Couple that with another website called ritetag, which I have a link for below. This will help you scope out how many tweets per hour that hashtag is currently experiencing as well as how many views per hour that hashtag receives. All of which are important.
https://ritetag.com/hashtag-search/indiecomics
Hope this helps a bit :). Best of luck out there to everyone.
Look into https://hootsuite.com
You attach all your social media accounts to it, you create a post, and choose where you want it to be posted, all from hootsuite. I believe you can also schedule posts as well. I never used it but my ex did for her gym and it seemed to work pretty well for her.
I think you should have one person manage social media, or at least have everyone on the same page.
I do all all photos, videos and post on social media for my gym so there's no confusion.
I don't think every post has to be replicated every where, you can repeat or simply link for example if you have a core website/ facebook/ twitter/ indieDB/ g+/ devblog.
Your main website and indieDB would only need updated with major milestones (alpha, beta, demos, release).
Your devblog would take up most your time as you write about what you have worked on, though you can then link to these articles elsewhere and I find most people post weekly or every two weeks and that's enough.
Your twitter can be your main dumping ground for screen shots, linking to your updates on other platforms (like your blog) or chatting with others in the community. You can easily setup twitter to automatically post to your facebook page as well as G+ :)
It's still a bit of a time sink but if you manage it correctly it won't take more than a few hours a week. While this is a couple of hours away from your game it could lead to inspiration, feedback and later more coverage.
I don't use any tools for social networks myself but I know something like Hootsuite could help!
Buffer (a SaaS company that makes social media tools) has been very open about how they tackle that salary vs location issue - https://buffer.com/salaries
It's been very interesting to read their updates over the years and their plans for the future.
tl:dr - there's no real perfect answer unfortunatley
I've used BuzzSumo a few times to get article ideas. Just input what you're targeting and it shows you which articles (on that keyword) have been shared the most. Use this to figure out what you should write to complement/support/contradict. There's also a bunch of alternatives
Depends how much time you want to put in.
In my experience gamers are on reddit, but they hate 'advertising' on their /r/gaming or whatever. If you post it on gaming reddits, making sure they feel it's worth their time, not an advertisement.
Also remember who your audience is. I see tons of people posting their greenlight or kickstarter with #indiedev #gamedev on twitter, and while fellow devs might help you out with a "yes" they probably won't buy later.
My advice, first try Twitter, maybe instagram, both with some nice hashtags (https://ritetag.com/best-hashtags-for/gamer) Then after you have gathered some feedback try for a reddit post. It can blow up and be huge if you do reddit right.
Thanks for mentioning Hootsuite! OP - You indicated you only wanted opinions from those in similar situations. I won't say anything about us except, with that many stores, you're likely looking at Hootsuite Enterprise. I'm more than happy to show you around. Please PM me if you'd like.
When it comes to a content strategy for local retail brands we've seen great success when central marketing teams provide a steady flow of approved content to post and then the local managers add their own posts that are more focused on their area.
Brands often have local social accounts b/c they want local customers to follow them for news and information about their closest store. By enabling your local team to schedule content (that must be approved and meet brand guidelines) you can leverage all your resources effectively to meet the expectations of your followers.
I hope that helps and wish you best of luck on your social endeavours!
This is pretty great. You've combined two of my favorite things. Social Media Analytics and Video Games. I work for Hootsuite and we have a lot of Desitny fans here. Definitely sharing this around. Great job!
you might consider "experience marketing" -- i.e., putting together events and posting them to national/local event calendars (www.eventupload.io) and using social media (https://hootsuite.com/ or https://bufferapp.com/) to drive traffic to your location. once you've increased your foot traffic, you can improve your conversions through traditional pricing, POP, etc strategies.
.
events allow you to leverage your (extant and expanding) expertise. for instance, if you know soil or foliage better than anyone in your area (40+ miles), then perhaps you should be creating workshops or seminars (weekly/monthly?) to discuss soil reclamation or plants on mornings/evenings where you're at your slowest (or perhaps it makes sense to schedule the events for when you're busiest, so you can "market" the event to passersby).
.
in other words, leverage what you already have (not lower prices) to drive more traffic to your business and study tactics to help capture a larger share of your customers' wallets/minds/hearts. events are a great way to do this and there are awesome tools to help you get the word out quickly and keep the word out.
Could possibly help if you have the links in another format than in the website.
Website parsing is not trivial and usually requires third party libraries or extensive string manipulation.
Also, the difficulty increases if the website is run through a CMS.
On the other hand, if the website is backed by a CMS and you have direct access to the content database it could simplify the task.
IMO this would still be a bit much for a beginner.
Is the website run through a CMS? If so, maybe the CMS has a twitter integration library that you can readily use.
Other than that, maybe IFTTT or Hootsuite, or similar services can help.
Hootsuite Pro includes 50 social profiles and you can upgrade it to go up to 100. For more information on what's included in Pro and why it rocks, check this page.
We also use have a free trial for 30 days you can check out. Generally what I tell people is to try everything and explore your options and stick with what works best for your individual needs.
Hope that helps!
Check out the company Buffer, exclusively remote staff, no office. They can afford to pay their employee's more because they can save on the costs of renting/running a physical office
I have an instagram, facebook, twitter, pinterest & tumbler, but twitter and facebook are the only ones that get updated with any regularity.
I recommend an app called Buffer: https://buffer.com which lets you post on multiple accounts across multiple platforms. Super-useful. I'd probably keep paying for it even if I didn't have a shop anymore. It's $10 a month.
> Querias que as empresas te dissessem quanto pagam a todos os funcionários...? Não te parece que isso ia ser demasiado disclosure para a concorrência e para os clientes...?
Na verdade já existem empresas que fazem isso, e que são exemplos de transparência no mercado.

Yep: "Collaborate with your team - Streamline your social media management by efficiently coordinating with your team. Allow multiple people to contribute while easily managing permissions and moderating contributions." https://buffer.com/#team
Can you organize a picnic for him and your mom so that he could relax a little bit and take his mind off work for a while? Having a chance to do something else and think of something else is very important to people who work a lot. Think about his favorite meals, cook something or maybe get a delivery from the place he likes and plan a nice family dinner somewhere outside.
You say he has a projector which can also be used as a part of your gift if you make a video about him. You can do it on your on or cooperate with your mom or relatives or any friends of his and make a video about how loving, caring, hardworking and appreciated by all of you he is. Use pictures from family archives, maybe take several new ones (for example, ask people to take pics of themselves holding cute signs (something like 'We love you') and add them to the video), use songs he likes, etc. You can do the whole thing via online video maker or a slideshow app for pc and then just download it to memory card or dvd and play for your dad on his projector when you visit them.
Cloohawk! Cloohawk gives a bunch of conversations relevant to your industry. The conversations are further segregated into tasks such as Like, Comment, Retweet and so on. It lets you create custom rules with sentiments based on which further tasks are segmented.
Hey try this out Cloohawk.
Disclaimer: I am the developer.
And we are still in beta, the reason why you might not have heard of it. We have managed to increase our user social media reach by more than 125% on an average :)
As /u/jpking10 said, the first think you want to do is get a good understanding of your current customers.
Who are they? What industry are they in? What are their pain points (why are they using or interested in your saas)? How can you provide a solution to their problem?
Then, begin to think about how social media (I'm going with social as the example here because OP says only social) could play a role in the above questions:
Are you producing content that resonates with your followers? Are you targeting people that fit within the demographic that was established above? Are you making shareable content?
Again going back to /u/jpking10's comment, you need to make sure you're driving results. Impressions, likes, retweets, comments, etc., look good, but they have to lead to tangible, real results.
Do you have good internal links on your site? Are you collecting email addresses? Are you retargeting people who have visited but not converted?
So, to go back to your original post, and do a quick mockup:
Goals:
- Increase web traffic by 25%
- Drive 100 installs during q4 2017
How to get there:
- Engage in customer and demographic research
- Examine the content you're making and improve on it as needed
- Ensure your landing pages are setup to convert (have links, offer, etc.)
- Build email list to reengage with customers
- Retarget people who visited your site but didn't convert
- Above all, test and measure your results to determine what's working and what isn't
Alright. I would use http://buzzsumo.com/ to find relevant content. It's useful because it tells you what people are sharing, and also the top influencers sharing that content. Find those guys, see who's following them and find the conversations they're contributing to.
If it's home/child stuff, twitter might not be the best site for generating leads. I find Facebook and Google+ are surprisingly better in that demographic.
If you drop me a PM I'd be happy to give you a full breakdown.
Sure is a solution: you need to not use the same hashtags continuously. Get RiteTag, and you'll use the browser extension to right-click and generate hashtags for any photo. Copy, post as a comment.
>It's the laziest form of journalism.
No... Actually, it's a really an overly complicated and difficult form of journalism. All you need to do is pick a site for trending words, and... look at it.
Thank you! I'm at 1400 currently. My biggest influx is from /r/androidgaming. I've posted it there 3 times over the last 3 months and without fail jump up to 100+ installs / per, which falls off over 3/4 days back to the normal rate.
Don't do ads unless your app is pay up front, they're too expensive. Use twitter hashtags to post your game. Use https://ritetag.com/best-hashtags-for/gamedev
Set up a mini site for your game with video, screenshots, logo, description, basically a presskit.
Wait a few days until " AndrewH" is posting on droidgamers.com again and email him at 702records [at] gmail [dot] com about your game. (he's on sick leave and will be swamped in mails next few days he comes back) PM me if you have any questions :)
https://twitter.com/hashtag/notyourshield is pretty popular ( https://ritetag.com/hashtag-search/1?q=%23notyourshield )
> seem about the same in size
Appearance and deception, you know.
There are countless gamers having fun online and offline with all kinds of games, kickstarted and traditonally indie games are booming, mojang just got bought, notch and co. have billions to invest in new and crazy ideas.. so these people don't have to micromanage their lives to achieve what they want (to have fun, develop games, etc.) .. contrasted with the SJW crowd who need to constantly spout their bullshit, filter content, react and scream. (That's why /r/gaming has/had mods affiliated with the SJW mindset. Because being a mod on an popular subreddit takes time and effort, playing and enjoying games .. not so much.)
> All in all very little good seems to be coming from this.
I think, so far, only good has came out of this. A lot of people were forced to think about these issues, some did, succeeded to critically separate good, okay, meh and offensive, bad, hateful things, cases, situations. Others, not so much.
You can use ContentStudio https://contentstudio.io, it comes with an automation module where you can specify your RSS feed and it will automatically drip-feed content to your Twitter channel.
Apart from that, it is a full-fledged social media management platform.
You can use ContentStudio, it comes with a composer module with a drag and drop functionality which would perfectly fit according to your needs for the round-up blog posts.
It comes with a 3rd-party integration like Pocket, WordPress, Medium etc. You can distribute your content through the platform.
Have a look at ContentStudio, it is a content discovery, monitoring, and social media management platform.
It makes it extremely easy to find niche-relevant content and have it shared on your social media channels or blogs. It is a feature-rich platform and comes with the automation features as well which you can use to drip-feed content on autopilot.
Did you get any clue? Maybe too late but here's some that I've seen:
- Instrument shops' cork board: More than just a few of my local stores that sells guitars/piano has this board where people can stick a piece of paper for another to look up for teachers for lessons along with another asking for new members for the bands.
- Some sort of int'l exchange center's cork board: I've seen one in my city where that was put on wall with fliers for schools and private teachers. For Sapporo, maybe this one?
- Facebook pages, twitter, LINE and all sorts of SNS: It might be pretty cumbersome to manage these (especially if you want to update each one of them simultaneously), but in that case I recommend you using something like this. I used to use this one and works pretty cool. (Not sure if it works for LINE though)
- Just any free homepage on WIX, Google Sites, Jimdo etc. I think WIX was pretty good. You can add appointment functionality on top of payment (by paypal as I recall), though I don't know how far you get to use them for free. Suppose linking all SNSs to the page and print out QR code from the page is suffice?
I often hear people who wants to learn English saying "Want to learn them through something I like, like music", so I think there's many people who gets interested in you including ones looking for the lessons for one's kids. That's pretty damn original!! Hope some of these helps!
Just search "free RSS feed directories". Tons will turn up. Find the ones that show off your niche best and you should be good.
I put everything on StumbleUpon. It doesn't take long to do and will keep constant traffic rolling in. Also, I know I've said our bounce rate is likely because of this traffic, but we've also acquired subscriptions to our email list from some of it. So it's still helping out.
Social media is tough because you need to figure out which works best for your audience and then develop a marketing strategy. I highly encourage HootSuite for making your posts because of the short-link generator for Twitter, the ability to create feeds and watch them all in one place, and for the statistics they give you. Also, it's free. Not much better than that.
Oh, they also have Podium which is a site by HootSuite that teaches you how to use social media better. It's also free and really well structured.
If you haven't tried a lot of social media yet, make a page for everything. At least Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, and Pinterest. Use HootSuite to make your posts but structure each one to display in a manner that's supported on that medium (a Twitter post doesn't look as good on FaceBook, etc...). Use HootSuite, Google Analytics, anything that can tell you how your posts are doing. Decide which ones would be worthwhile and then stick to those. There's no sense in wasting your time somewhere that you and your audience don't frequent.
Something like https://hootsuite.com/ but not designed for the social media content managers, but the actual users? Yeah, that might work. Cross-platform interactions would be nice, no need to add all the same people on a shitload of websites etc.
We use Hootsuite at my agency, it allows you to pre-schedule. It also has some powerful features that will help you accelerate your social marketing. Here's a link to their free version. https://hootsuite.com/plans/free
There are a bunch out there, just google "free social publishing tools".
Hello from Hootsuite /u/allinfinite (I work at Hootsuite). It actually sounds like you'd be a pretty great fit for our agency partner program. It's specifically designed for people like yourself that manage multiple clients but needed more options and reporting capabilities.
Check it out and let me know if you have any questions.
Hootsuite just released a library of free courseware. If you're a super advanced already, it might be too elementary. It's beginner and intermediate stuff. https://hootsuite.com/podium
Lol, what a backhanded advertisement. Look, if you want to advertise your service which may be useful to us, just do it, don't label your topic like you are looking for something else. YouTubers are technically advertisers ourselves, we can spot an advert like this from a mile away.
Anyways, to answer your question, if you are really interested, there are social network aggregate sites that allow you to schedule and manage multiple accounts of the same or different social networks at once. One free example being hootsuite.
Hi there. Hope you get some good feedback from the community. There are a number of users of both those tools in this subreddit.
Full disclosure, as my tag says, I work for Hootsuite. Found your message using the social listening in Hootsuite. We also have a deeper listening tool called uberVU.
If you're open to other suggestions and want to check out our social listening and management capabilities, I'd be happy to show you. Feel free to message me here.
As a side note, playing video games in your bed is not healthy for your sleep cycles. The only things you should do in bed are sleep and fuck. You want your body to be conditioned to think of your bed for rest, not for work.
I'm so glad to help! :)
In the case of a hobby (which is GREAT! Money complicates things, lol) - I would suggest focusing on:
- sharing your process alongside your work, and queue up micro-posts of that process so you are posting every day for week - AFTER you've completed the project. Check out https://buffer.com/ - you can connect 3 accounts for free and schedule a bunch of stuff.
- Try finding smaller communities focused on the subject matter you love (comics, fan art) and sharing your work there.
Recording your work:
- for digital, try OBS studio, a free screen recorder
- consider twitch streaming! Shonzo and Dave Greco are amazing inspiration :)
Smaller communities are more authentic and you can make a real connection with people. Like this one! :)

I think that would depend on the company and their HR policies, so I can't comment too much on that. I know some companies have strict salary transparency policies though (e.g. Buffer: https://buffer.com/salaries) and they break down the salary calculation (including COL bands) for employees.
I’ve posted this in another similar thread before, and I think it’s a great case study. I’m not affiliated, but here’s a great read about how the social media scheduling platform Buffer validated their idea: case study
Really interesting! I was thinking something along the lines of the temperature of the light around you, and how does this affect to your brain https://buffer.com/resources/the-science-of-how-room-temperature-and-lighting-affects-our-productivity/
But indeed firing multiple colors at your face every now and then must not be good for your mental health in any ways.
They are probably lumping users into "personas".
Each sub-reddit probably is given metrics and tags, that lump the users that have joined that sub, into a persona.
Then when an advertiser is looking to promote a campaign for users that are "outdoorsy, young, active, 20 to 40 years old" reddit is able to have that advertiser deliver ads to those users.
It is probably not as nefarious as you think.
I might be a little late, but take a look at Buffer. All of their salaries are public, and they use a formula based on role, experience, and location to calculate salary. It doesn’t have equity information, but it does cover every role at Buffer!
This is worth a look, Buffer has been doing it for a while

It's interesting that the UK guys seem to be doing well out of it. The mobile engineer in Brighton is on £110k… that goes a long way. As does £100k in Winchester. They'd be competitive wages in London.

Essentially you go through this process with your girlfriend.

There is a company I follow called Buffer that makes social media marketing software. They've long operated on a fully transparent model where they share their exact revenue.
In January 2020, they had a peak annual revenue run rate of $22.35M
In June 2020, it's $20.45M. The company hasn't had any sustained drop in revenue ever
I think this is good, open data to follow for the kind of impact businesses are going to have to deal with.
Here's the data: https://buffer.com/revenue
If you think of yourself as a business you can view any compensation not as a whole amount but instead look at it in terms of “profit margin”.
Profit margin for individuals is another way to say “disposable income” and its the money that you save, invest, spend on luxuries, or spend on things like buying a home.
If a salary offer of $80k gives you a $20k profit, vs someone in a higher CoL who needs $100k for the same standard of living, then you’re roughly equivalent and the raw amount isn’t an immediate issue.
BUT, you still need to consider what that lower salary would restrict you from in terms of mobility. Let’s say you get an $80k offer because you live in Smalltown, USA. But your 2 year goal is to move to a bigger city on one of the coasts where a team mate doing the same job as you is getting $100k. Is there an automatic pay bump built in for when you move? If not, then the company is trying to have their cake and eat it too.
Ultimately if the company is trying to save a buck then they won’t hire in the higher CoL areas anyway, in which case they are limiting the pool of talent they can hire from. That is to their disadvantage IMO.
To give you an idea of how some companies try to do it right, take a look at Buffer‘s open salary page. https://buffer.com/resources/introducing-open-salaries-at-buffer-including-our-transparent-formula-and-all-individual-salaries/
In short, I think being flexible on location-based salaries could be to your advantage. But don’t let it punish you for making financial decisions that benefit you. Otherwise where does it end, paying people more/less based on how many kids they have? Whether they have a partner that also works? How much college debt they have? Whether they do bulk grocery shopping vs eating at restaurants every night?

Smiling is one of the best things you can give and cope on thinking it doesn't matter. "If I were to get them, It WoUlDnT FiT" lmao. Just when you can't find them you disregard them. here are some panels for you
The goal is to have your content be highly relevant. Then to time it for the biggest impact. This is not SEO btw, this is just standard online marketing.
Look for apps like Buffer (https://buffer.com/guides) to determine ideal timing and schedule out your posts in advance.
I've been following Buffer for a while and they did it from before their recent layoff.
Here is there salary calculator: https://buffer.com/salary
As you can see, an advanced backend dev gets 134K in San Francisco but only 54K in Mumbai for the exact same job.
One of the marketing agencies(our client) handle around 35 clients with 4 team members(or social media managers), although they also work on audience building. 1 manager for 30 clients might be little too much.
Knowing how to make client specific/social network specific posts is a demanding skill. But I think the reason for this is that the work involved, according to what you mentioned, can be lessened by creating bits-and-pieces of graphics that you frequently use for a specific client or using a social media automation tool for posting to multiple platforms.
Try automating your work as from what I understand, you can just plan all your posts in the beginning of the week and save a lot of time. You should start using some dashboard or a centrally controlled management system for your publishing needs.
You should be able to save around 1-2 hours a day easily. Try dashboards provided by Statusbrew or Buffer. These services should help you manage your posts.
Oh man, there are a TON of social media marketing tips, guides, and gurus on this sub. Frankly, I would recommend searching the term "social media" in the search bar and just wandering down that rabbit hole for a couple of hours to decide what kind of platforms and content might work best for you. If I had to point you at a single post, I suppose it would be this one. Now, keep in mind that my business is B2B and yours isn't, so there's some stuff in there that might not apply to you. A lot of it is sound, though. Personally, I'm a lazy bastard with a full-time job, so all I've got up and running in terms of no-cost marketing are Reddit, Twitter and LinkedIn. I use Buffer to help me curate and create interesting content, but I do it all by hand - no robo content. The bottom line is going to be how much time you're willing and able to dedicate to pushing your good idea. Organic traffic generation takes time, patience, and attention, but it's awfully satisfying watching your website traffic tick upward. You'll get a feel for what people want to see, but to start, I recommend a 50-30-20 approach: 50% relevant curated content, 30% ads for your services, 20% fun irrelevant fluff. That's working pretty well for us :)
My turn to apologize for wall-o-text. I hope this helps!
Took like a few seconds to work out using riffle.
If you really want all your images to fit on Twitter I suggest using something like https://buffer.com/pablo it won't resize the image you upload but it will crop it so it fits. Plus you can chuck some text on top if you want
Hey folks - we've made ContentIdeas.io to top performing content around the web.
Most of the tools out there allow you to search for the content but they are very limited with the number of searches you can perform and force you to either sign up for the 14 day free trial or upgrade to the paid plan.
We created ContentIdeas by making it 100% free as the infrastructure we used for data crawling and storage is already part of our product ContentStudio.io
Here are some of the use cases for ContentIdeas:
- Curate trending content for a better social presence.
- Get ideas for your next blog posts.
- Find new link-building opportunities or just stay updated with the industry.
- Filter results based on social channels performance e.g Facebook shares, Twitter Shares, etc. to see what type of content is performing well.
Let us know what you think. Curious to hear about your feedback on this.
I schedule my content to social media channels using ContentStudio.io. Through this app, I can schedule, publish, analyse and engage with audience instead of looping back to different social channels manually.
For connecting with more artists, and local venues, I'd recommend using Twitter and use Twitter threads as it is the next big thing for engagement.
For scheduling time, you should be publishing content when your audience is most active instead of publishing content on random times. ContentStudio has best time to post also known as recommended publishing time. You can leverage this feature.
You can find content ideas to see what other companies are producing content in your niche using contentideas.io
Use ContentStudio.io for social media management. It comes with a lot of handy features.
This will help you in getting started with the basics and later on, use Brand24 or similar tool for competitor mentions on twitter, reddit and web and other social channels.
There are many techniques for Instagram marketing, but these are the most efficient. Maybe you already used some of these:
Giveaways for people that share your content (as long as you do it according to Instagram’s guidelines)
Reposting content and tagging the content creator with the hope that they will share the content with their audience
Joining power groups of like for like in order to push likes as soon as you release the post so it would go more viral.
Conducting research to find out what content went viral for other accounts that target the same audience as yours and then generating content that resonant with it or just reposting it
The last example of conducting content research, I’m not mentioning without the reason. Content research is what we’ve built Viralspy around. The idea of ethically “hacking” the algorithm of Instagram in order to generate growth (I’ve explained it further in this post).
Decide what audience do you want to attract, then find what makes it tick. Use that knowledge to your advantage.
The Buffer Blog is also a viable option for insights about social media content.
Some do....well, 1 or 2: https://buffer.com/salaries
> Imagine how much would change in society if you could look up exactly how much everyone else was earning.
You'd also need to include commissions with some history, bonuses, option grants, etc, etc to avoid hiding stuf on the top end.
Hey! I'm late af, but another suggestion is to use the Tailwind app or something like buffer(.com), and then you can add them as a team member.
This will allow them to sign up with their own email and password and then you can control which executive functions they have over each social network that they are connected to.
Hope that helps!

I saw a good break down once, similar to this one. To me, Senior would start at advanced, and would ideally include the ability to
• Mentor other engineers
• Direct and review the work of other engineers
• Manage and oversee designs and projects
• Brings innovative idea and solutions to the table
• Takes the big picture into account. (Cost, lead time, use case, etc.)
Of course there are many Sr Engineers who couldn’t mentor someone out of a wet paper bag, and will stick to their firmly self drawn lines of job R&R.
Agreed. My SO works at a tech company that makes a few productivity apps. Their support team is all in house and pays well with good benefits, that’s why I suggested looking at tech companies. Buffer is another app that comes to mind that has “customer advocate” folks based on the US and pays well. https://buffer.com/journey. Might be hard to find but it’s out there especially if you’re bilingual.
I wonder what Girard would have made of the idea that People Don’t Buy Products, They Buy Better Versions of Themselves. This is fairly mainstream thinking in advertising, if you look at a lot of adverts, they are pictures of people who are now happy/relaxed because they have bought whatever product is advertised. It seems there is a link with mimetic desire /u/mcarans ?
all of your 3 word phrases can be refined into 1 word commands
e.g. pick that up = lift/carry hand me that = give
if you want creativity 1 word is better, because you have to find a word that encapsulated the phrase you would otherwise say. its a well known fact that restrictions increase creative thinking https://buffer.com/resources/7-examples-of-how-creative-constraints-can-lead-to-amazing-work/
Buffer is one of the few that does do that...to the world, actually: https://buffer.com/salaries (and their formula for calculating them, ownership stakes, etc)
You can also model what you'll be paid: https://buffer.com/salary-calculator/engineering-manager/high
Not everyone is fan, but it's interesting to see.
I think, kids would find a way to compare themselves with others even there were no social media. Anyway, social media is a useful thing in many ways. I read some social media statistic stuff here https://promorepublic.com/en/blog/statistics-about-social-media/, millions of people found their profit here. Some teenagers can get themselves together and go through this period without blaming social networks.
I have plans to sell merchandise on a page that is run by an account I also use personally. I read on this website that it is against Terms of Use to sell products with a "personal account". Does this mean I would have to create a new "business" account and use that to run the store?
I think it's hard to do. You have to create interesting content, get lots of subscribers. Although, there are ways to make your earnings more successful with social networking. I have my online store, and social networks have helped make my store more successful and popular. It would take a lot of time if I did all of this advertisement on my own. I decided to automate my page. It's really handy, because I have templates for posts, I can put a graph, and my posts are published automatically. SMM is handy. You can visit website promorepublic.com and manage all social media, if it is interesting for you.
It is possible! Really! You should be able to write beautiful texts, to choose interesting topics for the audience. In addition, you can advertise your business through a blog if you have a lot of subscribers. Moreover, there are many systems that can help you with this. For example, sites with social media marketing software https://promorepublic.com/en/ . You can get more followers, post awesome content, promote & boost sales by spending only one hour a month on social.
Looks fun.
