I use Youtube 90% of time. Can find anything you may be interested, from children's shows, how to, movies, news...you name it! I also have a Channel used for personal and non-profit organizations. Upload of videos is easy and efficient. Algorithms are super! Youtube is a highly valuable service for both those who post as well as the consumer.

Pinterest is such a great platform. If you farm a small area - neighborhood, subdivision, or zip code (it can be a larger are also), create boards for your listings, for the community, for the high schools and their sports teams, for local history, for local landmarks, for community events, for the local zoo, and on and on. You will be the talk of your area!

This is very fun app, we use this in conju​nction with CapCut to create some great videos & a wonderful way to show some creativity with editing to your clients. This app allows for the customer to see another side of the company :)

I love Instagram but I struggle to be as consistent as I would like to be. Most other websites have a way to schedule and automate post but I haven't found anything to help get out content easily. There are ways to connect with certain groups of people like Moms, Bloggers, Entrepreneurs and more with use of hashtags. The key to hashtags is if you use popular ones that millions of people have used in posts the hashtags are less effective in reaching your audience. You can also connect with groups of people that help boost your posts by giving likes, saves, comments and even follows. Look me up at https://instagram.com/msangel33 

Twitter is great for business. Even if you haven't started yet. You'll make contact easily just by being there regularly one retweet and follow at a time.

LinkedIn is a great method to connect to your fellow clients and networking. LinkedIn is also a good method for job seekers.

We've been personally using HootSuite for a couple years now & we Love It! Definitely easier to post & track all Social Media Resources. We have a lot of clients that also use HootSuite.

Snapchat works well as a social platform for people in high school or college. However It is not advertising friendly for small businesses.

I feel that the most important thing to keep in mind with Facebook and all social media is to keep it professional. Do not tell your viewing audience that you are are depressed, angry, etc. keep it upbeat, keep it free of politics and religion, don't post things that will turn potential clients off to you personally, etc. Putting positive energy out there will bring positive results!

I've used Buffer for YEARS! And really like the ease of use. In fact, it's become my primary scheduling tool now instead of that Hooting tool.  You know the one with the owl. Lol

Utterly useless solution. I cannot think of a single reason to recommend this. If you are working on three or four social channels just keep the tabs open and monitor it the old fashioned way. This solution may sound like a good idea but it will be penalized by those platforms for not posting natively. There's no shortcuts. Just do the work.
