point. In this episode, I'll

more time actually working in
and on your business. And be

26
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:49,300
sure to stick around, because
I'm sharing two of our go to

27
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:53,320
tools at our agency, Sprout
Social and Trello, both of which

28
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,100
we swear by for staying
organized and maximizing

29
00:01:57,100 --> 00:02:00,480
efficiency. Plus, we've got an
affiliate link for you in the

30
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,360
show notes, if you want to check
them out. By the way, before we

31
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,720
jump into today's episode, I've
got a quick and exciting update

32
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,840
to share. If you've been here
for a while, you might remember

33
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:14,580
us as claiming social media, but
as our business has grown and

34
00:02:14,580 --> 00:02:18,840
evolved, so has our vision. So
and with that, we're officially

35
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,480
reintroducing ourselves as
kuliana Connect. This rebrand

36
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,600
for us is more than just a new
name. It's a reflection of what

37
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,560
we truly value, showing up with
intention, building real

38
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,160
relationships online and
honoring the kuliana, which is

39
00:02:34,460 --> 00:02:37,340
the Hawaiian value of
responsibility, and that

40
00:02:37,340 --> 00:02:40,780
responsibility is what we feel
to serve our clients with heart

41
00:02:40,780 --> 00:02:45,340
integrity and purpose. So what
can you expect now? Well,

42
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,580
honestly, more of what you
already love for me here at

43
00:02:48,580 --> 00:02:51,820
Social Media Marketing for Small
Businesses, we're still helping

44
00:02:51,820 --> 00:02:54,460
service based pros grow their
business through high touch,

45
00:02:54,460 --> 00:02:58,180
human first engagement, but now
with even deeper roots in our

46
00:02:58,180 --> 00:03:01,560
mission and a name that reflects
it, and many upcoming episodes

47
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,380
will also reflect that
intention. We believe that

48
00:03:04,380 --> 00:03:07,140
marketing shouldn't feel like a
grind, right? It should feel

49
00:03:07,140 --> 00:03:10,560
like connection, and we're here
to make that happen for our

50
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,980
clients. So if you hear me
mention Juliana, connect from

51
00:03:13,980 --> 00:03:17,520
now on, just know it's still us,
just more aligned, more

52
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,660
intentional and more committed
than ever to helping you grow

53
00:03:20,660 --> 00:03:24,620
your brand without burning out.
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. So if you're
