Monday Buzz: 6 Tools That Maximize Your Potential Audience

Go beyond automatic scheduling and dive into the performance of your social activity. Plus: an annual review of logo design trends.

Ann Smarty, brand and community manager for Internet Marketing Ninjas, has a stern warning against being lulled into a false sense of security by auto-publishing social media tools.

Scheduling Tools

Social Promotion Tools

Email Marketing Tool
