Favorite Social Media Tools To Save Time & Grow Your Business

Want to know something about me? Efficiency is my middle name.

Okay, well maybe not legally. But it’s still a big part of me.

We all are given 24 hours a day to get whatever is we want done. So it’s important to be sure to spend it wisely. Finding tools and shortcuts can help you spend less time doing the things that need to get done, but aren’t always the most exciting things.

Here’s the truth about me (and probably most of us moms, too) – we are masters of the schedule, multi-tasking ninjas and somehow still manages to kiss every boo-boo and ouchie. We work hard at our careers, build businesses on the side, grow amazing families, and so much more.

So when it comes to the tools I use to help me save time so that I can spend more of it with our son while my business is growing in the background. Not too long ago I shared a post about favorite apps that help me save money. So this time around I wanted to share my productivity hacks. Here are my favorite go-to tools to save time and help me grow my business:

PERSONAL TOOLS:

Walmart Grocery App (if you haven’t tried the Grocery Pickup yet, you’re missing out. It makes life so much easier and grocery shopping a breeze)

Walmart App (I am a big fan of the Savings Catcher App, which can be used whether I shop in-store or do the grocery pickup)

Ibotta (Sign up using my referral link and get an extra $10)

Ebates (You can signup using my referral link to get an extra $10)

Amazon (If I can’t find something at my local Walmart then I prefer to order on Amazon)

Google Photos (I have all my camera’s pictures backed up to Google so that way I can access them anywhere and if something should happen to my phone, I still have my images)

BUSINESS TOOLS:

Canva (I use the online version and the iPhone app)

Instagram

Later (this amazing tool let’s you schedule Instagram posts, Facebook posts and Twitter posts all with just a few clicks. I can pre-plan all my social media posts for the week to share my new blog posts and videos so that when the week gets away from me I don’t have to worry about it. They have a free version, which I used for almost a year before upgrading. Sign up and get 10 free posts to try it out)

Tailwind (This helps me boost all my recent blog posts and Youtube videos on my Pinterest boards – you can sign up using my referral link.)

VSCO (This is my favorite app to edit pictures for my social media posts – it’s free, easy to use and doesn’t erase my original image)

Trello (this project management tool is the perfect solution to hold all the things that need to get done – editorial calendar, goals, things to do, business information, etc. I created a tutorial of how I use Trello, you can watch it here)
