If you have a Smartphone or other mobile device like an iPad, then
you can manage your social media marketing on the go. There are many
apps out there that you can use to make it easier and faster to take
care of your social media activities.
If you spend more time away from your computer or just don’t have the
time needed to focus on social marketing throughout the day, then look
into downloading some of these free apps onto your mobile device and
take your work with you.
Plume
Plume is an app that is similar to TweetDeck. With it, you can manage
multiple Twitter accounts. It makes it easy to shorten links with a
drop-down menu. You can customize the app to improve your Twitter
experience. You can save usernames and hashtags that you use often to
save time. It gives you the option to preview photos and add your
location.
The Plume app also enables you to post to Facebook.
Flipboard
Flipboard is a great tool for finding content on-the-go. You can connect
your social media profiles so you can share content easily while seeing
what is going on with your social networks.
You can connect the app with Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, Tumblr and
your blogs. You will be able to find and share content, interact with
fans and followers and manage your social media from one app.
Google Currents
This is another great app for finding content to post to your social
networks. It is similar to adding information through a RSS feed. You
can see what is trending right now on the Internet, plus choose sites to
add to your library.
By finding popular content to post, you will see even greater
response from your followers. Ask questions based on the subject, get
discussions going about trending topics and receive an increase in
engagement.
Apps like this lessen the amount of time you have to spend in
searching for content to share, leaving more time to interact with your
audience.
Buffer
Share videos, photos, articles and status updates across several social
networks easily with the Buffer app. The app helps you stay on point
with your content so you can keep your marketing focused. You can
connect Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
However, using third-party apps like Buffer to post directly on your
Facebook page can actually reduce your engagement ration, so use it
sparingly.
You can post 10 times a day and pick what times you want to share
during the week. That gives you the advantage of posting during the best
times for engagement.
Postling
Postling makes it easy for you to create content and post it directly to
your blog so you can keep up with fresh content even when you’re not in
front of your computer. This is important because new content is what
your audience wants.
You can also monitor RSS feeds, Citysearch and Yelp for any reviews
of your company. Right now, this app is only available for iPhone users.
Facebook
Facebook is always updating its mobile app to improve usability. It is
an important part of mobile marketing. You can upload photos and videos
to share or just write a quick text status update for your fans.
You can also respond to comments and share other posts plus monitor what people are saying on your page.
Social media marketing can take up a lot of time. Using mobile apps
can make it fast and easy to handle some common tasks without having to
stay close to the office.
