Social algorithms are tough, they are becoming harder to get great traffic from Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social websites that are there. Here’s a list of very useful free social media tools that you can use.
1. Hootsuite
It allows you to schedule your social content. With Hootsuite not only can you share content on all social sites with ease and a few clicks, but you can also schedule your content many months in advance. Why this is important, is because many people share their content only once on social sites like Twitter. But if you share your content on Twitter six times in a year, that same piece of content will roughly get 2 to 3 times more traffic. When you share your content most people won’t see it. There is nothing wrong if you sharing the content multiple times throughout the year.
2. ManyChat
If you are someone struggling to get more traffic from Facebook, ManyChat will solve your issue. It is a chatbot tool that leverages Facebook Messenger and what you will find is the click-through and the open rates are ridiculous. It beats out the email. If you want easy traffic, leverage ManyChat. When people visit your website they can do things such as subscribe to you through Facebook Messenger and when you have a message or a blog post, you can push it out through ManyChat. You will get open rates of about 60% and you will get click-through rates above 30, 40, and 50%. Even when it drops down you will still see your click-through rate above 30%. It is that effective.
3. Buzzsumo
When you write blogs or some kind of content, even after you share it on the social web a lot of times, sometimes no one wants to like it or comment on it. But with Buzzsumo, it will show you all the other popular articles within your space, and all the ones that aren’t popular. Look at the topics that are popular, write more of that on your blog, promote those on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, and again you will get more traffic, because you are only writing things that people want to read about and see, than just writing whatever you want to write about.
4. SocialBlade
SocialBlade is a platform where you can go on and check statistics from any account from YouTube to twitch Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. It will show you, your subscriber growth over time, as well as how much content you are pushing out. It will help in optimizing how much content you should be creating to get the maximum amount of subscribers, fans, and followers.
5. Hello Bar
Hello Bar is an easy way to manage notifications on your website to your customers. It helps you collect emails from your website. If the first hour that you are posting content on the social web, any social site, does well, the chances are it will go viral. You can use Hello Bar to collect and gather emails from your website or your blog. When you collect these emails, then when you push out content on the social web, you send out an email blast to all your email subscribers asking them to check out the new posts. That will help you get way more retweets, likes, and shares, and that will make the post go viral.
6. Subscribers
It is similar to Hello Bar. Here, instead of helping you to get emails, it will help you to gather browser notifications subscribers. When people are browsing your site on Chrome, they can click subscribe and you can give them a notification and let all of these people know when you have your content that comes out and you can even push them to the social sites. That way when it gets released in the first hour, you will get more likes, shares, and comments. This will also help you go viral on the web.
