5 Tools Every Social Media Marketer Needs To Know About

It’s certainly no secret that the world of social media is one that is fast-moving. With more algorithm changes than you can shake a stick at, it is becoming more and more challenging for social media marketers to keep up with the pace, especially when managing multiple platforms at once. Though not all hope is lost, this is where the multitude of social media tools comes in. 

Here are 5 Most Effective Tools every Social Media Marketer needs to use:

  1. Over

If you struggle with producing high-quality visual content, the Over app might just be your saving grace. Over is a photo editing app that allows you to effortlessly add text to images, as well as create collages or other creative visuals. You can choose from a library of stock images, fonts, graphics and even design templates with just a few taps, which makes it an ideal photo editing app for busy social media marketers on the go. Over, it’s so easy to experiment with your brand visuals, and it actually helps to make the entire process fun.

Slack is a messaging app, but it is also much more than that. Slack is all about team communication and making it as streamlined as possible.

Within Slack, you can share documents, gather feedback and even collaborate on ideas and projects. As well, features such as channels help you to better organise conversations between certain team members. The best thing about it? It’s free!
