What an interesting post you have shared here Ian. If you ask me, I would like to have three tools, one is Canva, the second one is LastPass and the last one is Ahrefs. Katherine

Hi Katherine. Those are three great tools. I've not played around with Ahrefs before but heard good things about it. Lastpass is a great choice. I would so struggle without it!
How did we not know about Rev?! This is going to be a game changer for video content for us. Thanks so much Ian! Active-campaign has been in our arsenal for quite some time now since your recommendations in a previous post.

Thanks, Tez. Glad I helped you find Rev. It's an amazing tool and one I use so often! And glad you love ActiveCampaign. It's amazing! Ian
Just out of interest Ian, what do you prefer about Agorapulse over Hootsuite?

Hi Tez. That's a great question, but I'd probably have to reply with a whole blog post. Actually, I have written many blog posts on all the different social media management tools out there. But to put it simply, here are some reasons. Firstly, the social inbox. In Agorapulse I can quickly go through all my social mentions, messages and comments and either review (archive), assign to a team member or reply. They then disappear from view and I can get down to inbox zero. I know which messages I need to deal with. Hootsuite doesn't have this workflow. Also, Agorapulse has much better reporting which is available on all plans. I also love the inbox assistant which can assign and review mentions automatically depending on certain criteria. So, for example, I automatically archive messages that have "thanks for following me" in them. Hootsuite doesn't have this. Then, I love the fact that I can see comments to Facebook or Instagram ads - they appear in the same social inbox. Hootsuite kind of does this, but not in comment-order. You have to go through all your promoted posts and see if you can spot a reply to one of your posts. Then there is the publishing workflow with different categories - so much more powerful than Hootsuite.
Hey Ian, that was quite engaging :smile. I would wish to have the tool in my content creation process, especially for my social media campaigns. Great post!
