It seems as if social media has taken over the world. Nowadays we can’t go a day without tweeting about an awkward encounter or uploading our breakfast to Instagram. But many businesses struggle to utilise social media to its best ability. Here are five social media tools that’ll help get the world watching your business.

The software presents you with a dashboard that allows you to integrate your social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Youtube and many more.

 

  1. Pulse

This handy app simplifies our news experience by delivering news through ‘influencers’ that have been identified through your LinkedIn page. Therefore you only see what is relevant and interesting.

 

  1. Camtasia

We all know that the best way to portray information on social media is to make it short and snappy. Camtasia helps make it easy to edit and combine short videos to add to your video marketing mix.
