All right, without further ado, 54 00:03:24,620 --> 00:03:28,340 guys, let's dive in and let's figure out together the best 55 00:03:28,340 --> 00:03:31,940 free and paid social media tools to help you save hours every 56 00:03:31,940 --> 00:03:35,960 single week. As you guys already know, pointing out the obvious 57 00:03:36,020 --> 00:03:40,040 consistency is key for really any type of success, but 58 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,720 especially for success on social media. But that doesn't mean 59 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,580 that you have to be online. 24/7 60 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,860 I found this freedom in my own business after years and years 61 00:03:50,860 --> 00:03:54,280 of just feeling like I had to show up all the time when people 62 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,240 were on to make sure that people saw me and saw the value that my 63 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,280 business had. However, nowadays, there are so many geniuses out 64 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,160 there putting their heads together, and they're creating 65 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,640 amazing scheduling tools that allow us to plan our posts in 66 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,660 advance and free up our time. So some of my top picks that I'm 67 00:04:12,660 --> 00:04:16,440 just going to make sure I spotlight right away, and it's 68 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,380 going to be a little mixture of free and paid. It just depends 69 00:04:19,380 --> 00:04:22,700 on how much investment that you have. But first and foremost, 70 00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:26,780 you really can't go wrong with Facebook or meta business suite, 71 00:04:26,780 --> 00:04:29,540 right? Especially if you're on the platforms of Facebook and 72 00:04:29,540 --> 00:04:34,160 Instagram, there is so much that you can do just by going behind 73 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,400 the scenes. You can schedule. You can even use their AI 74 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,840 platforms to dream up with you some captions. You can make sure 75 00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:44,200 that you put it into times and hours that your audience is 76 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,080 going to be on most which is actually something that meta 77 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,140 offers to you for free. You can also, if you're wanting to 78 00:04:50,140 --> 00:04:54,280 invest and have something that's even more tech savvy, it makes 79 00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:57,100 it even more easy, and it's going to help you dive into your 80 00:04:57,100 --> 00:04:59,740 audience's insights and kind of get in their head a little bit 81 00:04:59,740 --> 00:05:04,260 more. More, I couldn't suggest Sprout Social even more, because 82 00:05:04,260 --> 00:05:07,680 our favorite for multi platform, scheduling, engagement, tracking 83 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,460 and analytics is all in one right there? One of our favorite 84 00:05:11,460 --> 00:05:13,740 features there is they have something called the Smart 85 00:05:13,740 --> 00:05:18,180 inbox, so it's a way to track all of your DMS, your comments, 86 00:05:18,180 --> 00:05:20,840 basically all your engagement in one place, so you're not having 87 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:24,140 to sign in and out of your Tiktok, and then your YouTube, 88 00:05:24,140 --> 00:05:27,020 and then your Instagram and your Facebook and your Pinterest. 89 00:05:27,020 --> 00:05:30,980 It's all there in one place. And you can even use tags to track 90 00:05:30,980 --> 00:05:35,300 it all. And it kind of functions a little bit as a CRM so as a 91 00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:38,780 way to track your customer, track their habits. You know the 92 00:05:38,780 --> 00:05:41,500 relationship that you have with them, and it really is an all in 93 00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:45,760 one kind of a tool. A bonus for you guys would be Canvas content 94 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,400 planner. Did you know that in Canva there's a content planner? 95 00:05:48,460 --> 00:05:51,580 Yeah, there's even an option where you can directly post from 96 00:05:51,580 --> 00:05:55,240 Canva. So it's really amazing if you're creating content in 97 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,300 Canva. Anyways, you should really check them out. So 98 00:05:58,300 --> 00:06:01,500 immediately, I want to give you guys a time saving tip, right, 99 00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:05,400 so that you're not scrambling to like post every single day. You 100 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,580 never want to post, right? You know, the same moment that 101 00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:11,400 you're creating content, it just is really distracting, and it 102 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,640 keeps you out of the moment that you're in. And it probably will 103 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,880 be a little bit of a lackluster post, because you haven't gotten 104 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,200 a chance to actually look at it and think about the messaging 105 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,140 and even knowing if your audience is there. So to see a 106 00:06:24,140 --> 00:06:27,500 time, I want to encourage you to schedule a week of content in 107 00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:31,580 one sitting. So you sit down. It's very methodical, it's very 108 00:06:31,580 --> 00:06:36,380 intentional, and it has strategy behind it. And now, besides just 109 00:06:36,380 --> 00:06:39,620 scheduling a week of content, you also want to make sure that 110 00:06:39,980 --> 00:06:44,440 it's captivating in some way and in some sense. And so creating 111 00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:48,460 eye catching content, it doesn't require a graphic design degree 112 00:06:48,460 --> 00:06:51,700 like it may be used to. There are so many tools that you can 113 00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:54,820 use that create high quality posts and videos and graphics 114 00:06:54,820 --> 00:06:58,120 that really make you look like a superstar and what know what 115 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,260 you're doing. So again, we already talked about Canva. 116 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,900 What's amazing is a lot of people don't know there's a lot 117 00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:07,140 of incredible things you can use in Canva with the free version. 118 00:07:07,140 --> 00:07:10,740 Now, of course, some of the more branding features and building a 119 00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:14,340 branding template, and some of the fancier features are going 120 00:07:14,340 --> 00:07:17,580 to be for a paid account, but if you want something just really 121 00:07:17,580 --> 00:07:20,480 simple and basic, they've got really great options for 122 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,960 graphics, building reels, building stories, carousels and 123 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,440 all of that. And a quick little free tip, by the way, if you are 124 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,800 a teacher, even if you're a homeschooling, say, Mom or Dad, 125 00:07:30,860 --> 00:07:34,460 you can actually get Canva for free. Check it out. You just 126 00:07:34,460 --> 00:07:36,740 have to submit your teaching credentials, and you'll get a 127 00:07:36,740 --> 00:07:39,560 year for free, another tool that we personally use, and are 128 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,340 really big out there. If you're not aware how people get really 129 00:07:42,340 --> 00:07:45,820 cool transitions and edits on their videos, they're probably 130 00:07:45,820 --> 00:07:49,960 using something like cap cut. It's a simple yet powerful video 131 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,560 editing tool that's really amazing for reels and especially 132 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,580 tiktoks. Now, capcut has a competitor now, because just as 133 00:07:57,580 --> 00:08:01,140 of this week, Instagram launched their own editing app called 134 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,860 edits, and I haven't used it yet, but I am all about new 135 00:08:04,860 --> 00:08:07,380 technology and to see how they compare. So I'm going to check 136 00:08:07,380 --> 00:08:11,700 it out. And also, bonus, it is free, you can also check out 137 00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:15,000 some of our old other social media marketing managers that we 138 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,540 know have recommended in shot to me. Personally, I've never used 139 00:08:18,540 --> 00:08:21,320 it, but some people love it for especially those like quick 140 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,740 video edits or adding text trimming clips, it pretty much 141 00:08:24,740 --> 00:08:27,500 does the same thing that cap cut does, but it depends on who you 142 00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:30,680 are. It's a little bit more user friendly. So all I can say is, 143 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,340 hey, go for it and check it out. So a time saving tip here would 144 00:08:34,340 --> 00:08:38,600 be to create content templates in Canva to reuse for future 145 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,620 posts. So this is going to do a couple things. It's really going 146 00:08:41,620 --> 00:08:44,740 to obviously save time. It's going to save you stress from 147 00:08:44,740 --> 00:08:48,400 trying to refine that same template in Canva, and it's 148 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,640 going to make sure that it keeps your branding consistent, right? 149 00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:54,880 And so there's nothing more I think, esthetically appeasing 150 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,280 than when you go on someone's account, especially a business, 151 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,660 and you see that they look professional. And where does 152 00:09:00,660 --> 00:09:03,360 that professional edge come from? Well, it's using the same 153 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,380 fonts and the same colors and just the same look and feel. And 154 00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:10,920 a great way to do that is to set your things up in Canva. Now 155 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,980 some of the best tools for engagement, engagement and 156 00:09:13,980 --> 00:09:16,860 social listening. And if you're not aware of social listening, 157 00:09:17,220 --> 00:09:21,080 it's a relatively newer term out there in social media marketing, 158 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,620 but it's basically like someone's eyes and ears, like a 159 00:09:24,620 --> 00:09:28,520 fly on the wall to your audience. And so it's AI 160 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,900 software that listens out there and basically studies and 161 00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:37,460 reports back to you what your ideal audience is saying out 162 00:09:37,460 --> 00:09:40,480 there and how they're interacting online. So again, 163 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,860 this is another amazing, amazing way that we love to use Sprout 164 00:09:44,860 --> 00:09:48,820 Social because they have a social listening add on that you 165 00:09:48,820 --> 00:09:52,480 can put in keywords or a specific type of audiences, and 166 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,500 it reports back to us exactly what those people are listening 167 00:09:56,500 --> 00:09:59,380 to, what they're talking about. You know? It tells us what's 168 00:09:59,380 --> 00:10:02,940 trending. In our niche. And it's so amazing because it cuts 169 00:10:02,940 --> 00:10:05,460 through all the guesswork, and it tells you exactly what kind 170 00:10:05,460 --> 00:10:09,480 of content, basically to produce based on stats, based on 171 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,020 analytics and answers. And ultimately, if you want to grow 172 00:10:13,020 --> 00:10:15,540 on social media, if you want to make sure that your business is 173 00:10:15,540 --> 00:10:18,660 seen and heard, you have to engage. You have to interact 174 00:10:18,660 --> 00:10:22,160 with your audience. So instead of spending hours manually 175 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,640 searching for say conversations, these tools will help you stay 176 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,460 on top of engagement efficiently. So I mentioned 177 00:10:28,460 --> 00:10:31,700 Sprout Social. Another service we've heard of that works really 178 00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:35,900 well is brand 24 so that's what the number two for. It is paid, 179 00:10:36,020 --> 00:10:39,500 but it's a great alternative for tracking say your brand mentions 180 00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:42,280 keywords and competitor activity. So that's, again, 181 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,780 another great social listening option. And you can also just 182 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,620 save time now, where I'm not a huge proponent of this being the 183 00:10:50,620 --> 00:10:54,700 best relationship and trust building tool, you can use like 184 00:10:54,700 --> 00:10:59,020 a feature like Instagram saved replies. It is free, and if you 185 00:10:59,020 --> 00:11:02,880 get the same DMS frequently, you can save responses to reply 186 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,540 faster, but I really only encourage that, and I don't want 187 00:11:06,540 --> 00:11:09,420 to say a case of desperation, but really in something that you 188 00:11:09,420 --> 00:11:12,780 use to start a conversation, not to continue a conversation, 189 00:11:12,780 --> 00:11:15,900 because this is something that a lot of people are using, and I 190 00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:19,200 think consumers are becoming just more skeptical, and there's 191 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,180 nothing that will turn people off more than if they feel like 192 00:11:23,180 --> 00:11:26,540 they're talking with a computer or it's just a bot. So keep that 193 00:11:26,540 --> 00:11:30,920 in mind sometimes quicker and easier is not always better, 194 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,500 especially when you want to build long term relationships 195 00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:37,160 with your audience online that ultimately, ideally are going to 196 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,900 become clients. A time saving tip here would be to set aside 197 00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:45,040 two engagement sessions per day. So first time saving tip in the 198 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,220 beginning of the episode, it was set aside a time each week to 199 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,220 schedule your entire weeks of content. So that's more of a 200 00:11:51,220 --> 00:11:54,340 weekly thing, a weekly block of time, and then a daily block of 201 00:11:54,340 --> 00:11:58,120 time twice a day, set aside two different times, morning and 202 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,440 afternoon. And truly, this can be five to 10 minutes, and then 203 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,940 use these tools to streamline the process. Now, I know many 204 00:12:05,940 --> 00:12:08,760 people out there, especially running a business, are all 205 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,180 about them, numbers, right? Who out there are numbers? People? 206 00:12:12,180 --> 00:12:15,300 Raise your hand. Okay. I can't see you, but I feel you. Okay. 207 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,560 Tracking your social media results is crucial. Like it 208 00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:22,520 shouldn't even be an option. It needs to be something that's 209 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,580 mandatory. You don't want to waste time on strategies that 210 00:12:25,580 --> 00:12:29,360 aren't working for you. So a few tools that can help you monitor 211 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,840 what's working and what's not. Again, back to Instagram and 212 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,380 Facebook. They have insights. It's totally free. They give you 213 00:12:36,380 --> 00:12:39,800 the basic analytics, like on reach, engagement, audience, 214 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,760 demographics. It's also a great way, if you're interested in 215 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,440 doing ads, that's a great way to see who to point your ads to 216 00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:51,280 Sprout Social back to our favorite right. They provide in 217 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,000 depth analytics and reporting across all your platforms in one 218 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000 place at the end of the week, when we send our clients a 219 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,560 weekly report, so they can see how we're doing, but ultimately, 220 00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:05,040 how they're doing. We can give them 27 different reports, like 221 00:13:05,100 --> 00:13:08,760 we can go really deep and really wide. It depends on what numbers 222 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,760 you're looking at specifically. So Sprout Social really allows 223 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,120 you to, instead of going broad, to get really deep. And it's 224 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,720 ultimately, it's what we use at kuliana. Connect. A time saving 225 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,480 tip here would be to review your analytics weekly. So again, say 226 00:13:23,540 --> 00:13:27,380 you set up your content to be something you schedule, and you 227 00:13:27,380 --> 00:13:29,540 spend time to do at the beginning a week of the week, 228 00:13:29,540 --> 00:13:33,140 maybe Sunday or Monday, and then on a Friday, I would suggest 229 00:13:33,140 --> 00:13:36,740 reviewing your analytics so then you can adjust your strategy and 230 00:13:36,740 --> 00:13:40,120 you want to focus on content that performs best, because I've 231 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,120 learned this the hard way is I'm someone I like to be super 232 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,300 planned out. I am such a block timer like I would love to prep 233 00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:49,120 all my content for months in advance, and there have been 234 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,840 times I have the only downside about that is that if what 235 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,660 you're doing isn't working, you're ultimately wasting a lot 236 00:13:55,660 --> 00:13:58,600 of time and energy creating content that's actually not 237 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,240 serving you because it's not serving your audience. So you 238 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,360 really want to make sure you look at those nine look at those 239 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,720 numbers and adjust your strategy accordingly. All right, guys, 240 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:11,280 we're down to the last tip, the last tools and these ones are 241 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,880 perhaps the most important, because it's all about staying 242 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,960 organized and planning content, right? So if your current social 243 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,800 media strategy feels all over the place. Chances are you 244 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,280 probably need a system. So this is where your product management 245 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,540 tools are going to come in. Our top pick is totally Trello. I 246 00:14:29,540 --> 00:14:33,440 had a fellow agency owner. She does podcast marketing agency. 247 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,280 She recommended Trello, and I'm so happy she did. We personally 248 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,320 use this for content planning, tracking, engagement strategies, 249 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,460 organizing client campaigns. We've also had it be like a 250 00:14:45,460 --> 00:14:49,420 workflow tracking for our team, so we make sure we're all on the 251 00:14:49,420 --> 00:14:53,200 same page so communications across the board, and we don't 252 00:14:53,260 --> 00:14:55,960 have things fall through the cracks. So it's really a game 253 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,020 changer for keeping everything in one place and for everyone on 254 00:14:59,020 --> 00:15:02,280 the team to see it. If you're juggling multiple platforms, 255 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,640 Trello is really something that can help you visually, like, get 256 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,980 it out of your head, get it out of your hands, on your phone, 257 00:15:07,980 --> 00:15:11,820 and help you visually map out, say, your content calendar or 258 00:15:11,940 --> 00:15:14,700 your workflow. I mean, this is something you can use for your 259 00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:18,120 social media, but you can also use for just your business, 260 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,260 whatever it is.
