If there is one thing I know about people, it is that we all love free things—more specifically, free things that provide us with value. When it comes to content, some investments are necessary (good writers, solid proofreading, keyword research), but there are some awesome tools out there that you can access at no cost. So, I wanted to share a great, in-depth list of several free social media content tools to help you get the best campaign possible without having to take much out of your budget. These tools will help you with a number of things ranging from analytics to creating great infographics for your web page and social channels.
Let’s take a look at 20 of these awesome tools.
1. Hootsuite. This is a social media management tool that the Express Writers social media team uses. It is incredibly helpful to post to many social media channels at once and makes it much easier to monitor comments, likes, favorites, and re-tweets. This is free for three channels (Facebook, Twitter, G+), but if you want more, you will need to pay for Hootsuite Pro, which also gives analytics. However, before paying for that, take a look at a few free analytics tools first! You should also consider following their blog or social sites because they give out free tools occasionally. Recently, they posted about some awesome social media templates you can use for scheduling and planning purposes.
2. Buffer. Buffer can also act like Hootsuite, allowing you to post to multiple channels from a central location. It differs in the fact that you are able to see your top tweet or post in badge form. This is an excellent way to see what posts people like the most, giving you helpful advice for similar posts in the future.
