Whether it\u2019s tools (Facebook newsfeeds, Instagram Ads or Twitter\u2019s top-trending hashtags) or experts (Hubspot, KISSmetrics or CoSchedule), businesses small and large are making use of these great advertising and communication channels. But if you read any blogs or newsletters on this subject, it can seem as if you should be employing hundreds of \u201ctips and tricks\u201d daily and using every single social platform to perform them on! <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Succeeding in the social arena definitely demands active participation, but you also need to be able to discern whether a particular social network or tool is right for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">your<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> business. If you are looking for ways to manage your brand, reach out to social influencers, improve customer service or simply create forward-thinking content, it can feel like a full-time job that leaves little room for actually growing your business.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So here are 21 tools to help you quit wasting time on social media without compromising your mission:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Focus<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. With your email inbox constantly beeping and Facebook\u2019s newsfeed sucking you into its vortex for an hour at a time, it can be hard to focus on the task at hand. Use <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/visitsteve.com\/made\/selfcontrol\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-Control<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an app that allows you to set a timer during which you will be prevented from accessing anything that you\u2019ve determined to be off-limits for that time. So you could block your email and Facebook for an hour, but be able to visit any other websites.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Pick three for success.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Coca Colas and Mickey D&#8217;s of the world can afford to reach out to as many of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_social_networking_websites\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">500+ social networking sites<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as they want. Most small business owners really only need to manage two or three high-performing social media platforms where their most ardent fans hang out, do their research, and share consumer experiences. Build an accurate customer persona and focus on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">your<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> audience rather than trying to cast a wide net.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Automate for applause. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If scrolling the Twitter feed, posting relevant images, and keeping organized is taking up too much of your time, shift to a less time-consuming methodology: write a recipe for success with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/wtf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IFTTT.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This app allows you to create \u201cif + then\u201d recipes, like \u201cIf I post a picture on Instagram, then save it to Dropbox.\u201d And while you&#8217;re at it, create collections of news feeds on similar topics by using <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/feedly.com\/i\/welcome\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feedly<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is a news aggregator app that organizes content about industry news and consumer trends in one place so you don\u2019t have to visit each individual blog or website.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Metering your metrics. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back office analytics are powerful business tools. But it isn&#8217;t necessary to mine every available data field. It&#8217;s much wiser to focus on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/five-google-analytics-add-ons-that-your-small-business-needs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">metrics that really matter.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For example, while a product-based enterprise can benefit by monitoring click-throughs and conversions from social sites to e-commerce sites, a brick-and-mortar store that\u2019s considering expansion may have a greater need to know which regions generate the largest number of unique visitors. Consider using software like <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/sproutsocial.com\/features\/social-media-analytics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SocialSprout<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to stay up to date on the metrics you need.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Organize your editorial calendar and social shares.<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/coschedule.com\/social-media-scheduling\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CoSchedule<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/guide-to-wordpress-plugins\/\">WordPress plugin<\/a> that makes it easier to schedule and share your social media content. It\u2019s a social media editorial calendar which makes it an efficient place to plan your content, have an easy overview of what\u2019s coming up, and allows you to write blurbs and schedule your blog posts to all major social networks in one go.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Take advantage of free labor and build customer confidence. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your company hosts an interactive Q&amp;A forum, invite your most active participants to apply for the role of moderator. Naturally, you&#8217;ll want to establish some type of screening process, but with the right monitors you&#8217;ll gain the respect of your forum participants and give your customers a valuable resource without investing time and money better spent elsewhere.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Learn from the professionals. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spend less time chasing engagement and more time capturing your audience&#8217;s interest with emotional, inspirational, and relatable content.

Finding the sweet spot for your particular business will ensure you stop wasting time needlessly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Stop pinning everyday.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you\u2019re pinning on Pinterest ten times a day, that can suck up valuable time that could be spent elsewhere on your business. Eliminate daily pinning with BoardBooster&#8217;s automated pinning: you set the frequency and number of daily pins and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/boardbooster.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BoardBooster<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> does the rest.
