Raise your hand if you have a Facebook page. Twitter? Instagram? Pinterest? Chances are, if you’re reading this, you have at least one of them. But if you’re anything like I used to be, you most likely use them to post pictures of your dinner, or share a crazy cat video. You could be using these incredible tools to make your presence of social media felt, and possibly monetize your blog or website while you’re at it.
These 8 tools will help you boost your social media performance:
1. Rignite
Rignite streamlines the process of managing multiple social media accounts. Multiple accounts are viewable on a single dashboard, and users are given the ability to schedule individual or group posts as they choose. Rignite can link up with a previously made Feedly account in order to curate past content, as well as synchronize future posts. Rignite’s Campaign feature has been raved about; with this tool, users can schedule a series of similarly-themed posts throughout a day or week, grow a company’s email list, and increase their overall presence on social media.
Rignite is free for a 14-day trial, and offers Silver and Gold memberships for $28 and $49 a month per user, respectively.
2. Mention
Mention is a real-time social media monitoring app that crosses platforms, ensuring you and your business knows what’s trending throughout the entire World Wide Web at any given moment. Users can set up Mention to alert them when certain keywords trend, as well as when their own material is shared. Mention also connects members of a business team, allowing them to quickly communicate trends in order to react to a question on Twitter, post on Facebook, and generally stay connected to each other.
Basic membership to Mention is free, with subscriptions ranging from $30 to $300 a month.
3. Twtrland
Twtrland is an app that basically shows your activity and popularity on Twitter. Through the Twtrland dashboard, you can view past posts, and analyze which posts were shared most throughout the web. You can analyze your Twitter interactions, such as which sites you share from, who you contact the most, and the subjects you follow. Twtrland also offers methods of improving your social media presence by offering suggestions and goals, such as “Post X tweets by the end of this week.”
Twtrland Pro of course offers a variety of extra options, such as enhanced profile views and connecting fanbases. A Pro subscription starts at around $20 per month.
4. LikeAlyzer
LikeAlyzer analyzes Facebook Pages and rates its performance based on a variety of factors. LikeAlyzer takes more into consideration than simply how many fans a page has. The tool analyzes a page’s posts per day, how often the owner interacts with his fans, and the type of media shared on the page. The best feature of LikeAlyzer is that it offers suggestions even for top performers on how to improve their page to gain even more exposure.
Okay, I lied. The best part of LikeAlyzer is that it’s absolutely free!
5. Swayy
Swayy takes all of your interests and curates articles and multimedia in a central dashboard for you to easily skim through. You can manually set up your interests, or link multiple social media accounts together and let Swayy do all the work. Users can also share this content with the click of a button on any of their linked accounts.
Pro accounts range in price from $9 to $119 a month.

Nimble truly connects every aspect of your online personality into one easy to use account. Your schedule, contacts, emails, and social media accounts all combined to create an online hub for all of your daily needs.

Nimble is perhaps the most affordable tool on this list for a Pro account, at $15 per month.
