I’ve never heard of these — they sound like great options! Thanks, Nikki. As someone who could sure use an extra hour in the day, I thank you. 🙂

I really never thought I’d like the idea of social media automation but it can be a time suck to sit down and figure out the schedule yourself and then put each post into a queue… Ugh. If I can save even an hour a day, it’s a win.

There should be a way to use hashtags to come up with what you’re looking for, Anne. It’s why I stopped using Commun.it. They were extremely limiting in the content I could search for.

I’d forgotten about Klout – and I can’t see how to ask it to use some of my content and they dont’ have book ghostwriting or even ghostwriting sigh.

Good stuff here that’s new to me… a keeper for sure.

Klout is not perfect, Paula. But it does give you a “score” which I use to track how effective my social media attempts are. And I do enjoy having suggested content — never hurts to learn something as you’re increasing your own brand awareness!

I have heard you mention it, Jenn. I checked it out, and it looked really good. Thanks for the additional info!

Like Cathy said, should I thank you or smack you?

The one that leapt out at me was Klout. I signed up to it long ago but had no idea it could do much more than help you track your social media presence. Maybe I’ll have to attack this list by starting with things I already have or use, and seeing how to use them more productively.

The biggest I use that isn’t on the list is Todoist. It’s my virtual brain. I couldn’t operate without it. While I use the premium version, the free version is quite robust, and probably more than most freelance writers need. Highly-recommended.
