Want to be in two places at once online? You’re in luck. Today I’m sharing with you some essential apps & websites to help you achieve a successful online presence.

1. Hootsuite: This is the ultimate platform for scheduling posts on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn & YouTube. It’s so easy to use from a computer or a phone when you have to work on the go. Honestly for Facebook you can schedule posts directly on the website which is what I prefer & for Instagram, well, just keep reading.
2. Planoly: Want to get your Instagram popping? Planoly’s got you covered. Schedule posts AND stories with simplicity. They’ve also added a new feature for paid subscriptions which allows you to schedule Pinterest posts as well. I have actually never schedule posts for Pinterest but it’s available on Hootsuite for free.
3. CrowdFire: If you’re tired of scouring the internet for articles & images to post on your Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest & LinkedIn, then CrowdFire is perfect for you. You’ll get to choose from a variety of subject-related content to schedule in addition to your organic posts. You can also add your favorite blogs to repost from them as well.
4. WordSwag: Ok so you can’t just repost everyone else’s content so let’s make some yourself! Of course everyone uses Canva but if you need a quick graphic or an image then this is your best bet. And who wouldn’t want to use an app with ‘swag’ in the name right?

*Hootsuite, Planoly & CrowdFire provide analytics with their FREE accounts. These analytics combined with what Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & Pinterest provide will definitely help you create better content that your target audience will love.
