Resource Guide: Strategic Tips For Tweeting and Gaining Followers

Our social media strategy is about diversification. Not only do we use an assortment of tools, including Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, we read a variety of blogs to keep us informed of trends and new ways to improve our strategy.
Here is a list of some of our favorites and the reasons why. We’re also sharing links to the sources we used to create our awesome infographic: Strategic Tips for Tweeting and Gaining Followers.

Hootsuite

The first blog recommendation is brought to you by Hootsuite. This social media management tool helps small business tackle all their social media tasks and can provide insightful analytics to better understand how effective your efforts are. A small investment can provide a huge return. Another bonus: Hootsuite’s blog content is top notch. Here are a few posts we’ve learned from:

• Twitter Best Practices You Should Put into Action
• The Best Time to Post on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
• The Ultimate GIF Guide for Social Media Marketers

Buffer

The second website with a fabulous blog is Buffer.com. Buffer is like Hootsuite in functionality in that it’s a social media management tool. We’ve found Buffer’s blog extremely informational and it consistently produces content that is relevant to our social media needs. Here are a few posts we’ve found useful:

HubSpot

HubSpot is a powerful and robust customer relationship management (CRM) tool. Their blog falls nothing short of that same description. We’ve found countless resources to help us further our digital marketing footprint from their insight. A few of our favorites are:

Hashtagify.me

This website didn’t make our list because of its blog. We included it because Hashtagify.me is extremely useful when checking if a hashtag is worth tweeting. (See our handy infographic for more details on that.) This cool tool lets you search a hashtags popularity, compare it to other hashtags, and easily choose what hashtag will receive the most potential impressions. Try it here.
