74 Social Media Tools for Small Business

2016 is closing to an end and I thought it would be useful to list the countless tools and platforms I tried out throughout the year, and there have been a few. In the attempt of becoming the “wearer of many hats”, the ever evolving marketeer, I’ve boldly gone out to do the work myself and test different pieces of content on my own accounts as well as the brands I’ve been working for.

I give thanks to the Social Media Success Summit 2016 for greatly expanding my horizons and enriching my phone with utility apps :)) And of course, Buffer which is always helping out with lists, tools and tips — great resource for anybody new or experienced in social media marketing.

And without further ado, I give to you…THE list!
