Are you almost discouraged by your poor social media reach? Do you always imagine there are tools that can make your social media campaigns worth your effort and time? Do you always wonder if your posts are actually going to get any Likes and Shares or even reach the right audience?
If your answer is yes, then you’re not alone. A lot of people like you out there are facing same challenges and just as always I have taken the time to search and compile a list of amazing though premium social media tools you can invest in as a blogger for effective social media reach/growth.
Creating and managing contents on social media can be sometimes a difficult task, so I am going to suggest some tools that can make your social media activities easier and more productive.
Sometimes you cannot get desired results doing something manually all by yourself. I used to be like you when I felt I could do it all by myself, when I felt I don’t have to spend a dime and yet expected to get good results.
Well sorry to disappoint you, it doesn’t often work that way, as a blogger there are things you can’t do alone, you need the right tools to get them done effectively and on time too.
Imagine how long it could take you to post and reply to comments on 50 Facebook groups for instance. You need the right tools to get your job done and such tools though premium often make the difference. It is tempting to settle for the free versions but they are always limited in features.
I will advise you to invest in some of these premium social media tools to help your social media campaign and growth.

Hootsuite is my favorite premium social media tool. Hootsuite is a powerful social media automation tool that makes it very easy to share posts on a variety of social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, Twitter and other social media sites.

This article doesn’t really actually tell you HOW to improve your social media campaigns at all, it is mostly just listing the analytical software that has been around for a while. You have also failed to mention TweetDeck, it may not be quite as good as Hootsuite but it’s free!
There are actually some great tools out there to help bloggers find stories worth writing about and that will generate them some real traffic.
Hey man,
Nice tips. I’m going to try PostPlanner and see how it works! For me, HootSuite is good for management while Buffer is best for scheduling :)
The scope of the article is not really about how to improve your social media campaigns, its simply a list of tools you can use to improve your social media reach with minimal effort and less time. Thanks for adding TweetDeck but its not a premium tool. So you should look at the title once again to understand what the article is all about.
Well said, the tools listed in this article can greatly help one improve one’s social media reach with minimal effort and less time.
Great list, Nwosu. ViralWoot looks interesting. Pinteresting is sending a lot of traffic these days.
Great list and yes NetworkedBlogs and dlvr.it also considers good tools
Some of these tools are fantastic, although I’m slightly surprised that ManageFlitter isn’t on the list. For me, that’s one of the most powerful tools for engaging and growing on social media.
Thanks Marty for your contribution and for suggesting ManageFlitter, will check it out.
Nice List. The most important tool to invest in with all content creation is a strategy. If you do not have a strategy and plan, no tool will yield the results.
I personally use some of the tools listed. That said I would agree with Marty that Manageflitter should be included. The product has a great interface and is very easy to use.
Awesome. The most important tool to invest in with all content creation is a good plan. If you do not have a strategy and plan, the tools will be useless.
Interesting read and a great list of tools. Will definitely be trying Hootsuite and also Manageflitter as, suggested by others in the comments.
Thanks for the article :)
