75 Content Marketing Tools You Can’t Live Without

content marketing

Are you seeking ways to take your content marketing strategy to the next level? There are thousands of tactics to consider, but you have a limited supply of time, money, and energy.

Even if you are among the 42% of B2B marketers who say they’re effective at content marketing, there is always room for improvement. If you want to make the most of content marketing, you need to know which strategies to implement and which tools to use.

In this post, we’ll examine 75 content marketing tools proven to increase reach, generate sales, boost traffic, and much more.

Here we go! 

Content Discovery

1. Quora - Quora was built on the premise of providing “the best answer to any question.”

Content marketers can use the popular social network to identify trends, communicate with others, and, most importantly, provide high quality answers to establish themselves as an authority on almost any subject.

image09

2. Reddit - What was once considered nothing more than an entertainment site, Reddit is now a “go to” service for content marketers.

With the right subject matter, a targeted strategy, and a bit of luck, your post has the potential to go viral. With more than 36 million user accounts and billions of comments, Reddit is the stuff content marketers dream about.

image50

3. Inbound.org – Think about Inbound.org as “Reddit for inbound marketers.” The top marketing professionals in the world use this site to share ideas, leave feedback for others, establish their authority, and discuss trends.

You can create your own posts, based on a question or a particular piece of content, while also jumping in on current conversations.

image56

4. Alltop – Are you seeking the most popular stories on a variety of topics? From business to technology to breaking news, you will find it all on Alltop. This can serve as ammunition for blog posts and give you an overall idea of what is hot.

image00

Content Distribution

5. Buffer – The Buffer tagline says it all: “A better way to share on social media.”

Content marketing in 2016 means being active on social media. When time is tight, use Buffer to schedule posts across a variety of networks, including Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. With this tool on your side, distributing social media posts is fast, efficient, and effective.

image12

6. Hootsuite – Much the same as Buffer, Hootsuite is a social media management dashboard. With 10+ million professionals using the service, it has to be doing something right.

Hootsuite connects with more than 35 social media platforms, allowing you to distribute social media content more efficiently. The days of visiting each social site to create updates is gone.

image20

7. SlideShare – Even if you consider PowerPoint presentations a thing of the past, SlideShare will change the way you feel about slide presentations.

Use the service to promote a product, service, new release, or anything else you want to share with the world. It gives you the opportunity to share high quality content in a visually appealing manner, all on a website that is extremely popular.

image67

8. PRWeb – When it comes to online press release services, PRWeb is king of the hill. With the right package, you can get your release in front of 25,000+ journalists and more than 250,000 email subscribers. Press release distribution is not dead. With PRWeb, it is alive and well.

image64

9. BuzzStream – This tool could fit under a few categories, as it’s one of the most powerful and advanced you will find. It can be used for everything, including conducting outreach, contacting influencers, and managing relationships.

One of the top features of BuzzStream is its ability to help you build a list and pitch to influencers, improving the chance of widespread distribution.

image07

Analytics

10. Kissmetrics – You knew this one would be on the list, right? Kissmetrics explains its offerings in one simple sentence:

“Kissmetrics delivers key insights and timely interactions to turn visitors into customers.”

It’s one thing to know who is visiting your website. It is another thing entirely to turn these people into customers. Content marketing is all about results, and Kissmetrics can help you reach your goals through a variety of solutions.

image10

11. Google Analytics – It’s hard to go wrong with Google Analytics since it’s one of the top free analytics tools. You don’t need much knowledge to understand how this tool can improve your business. But if you need a little nudge, check out some of the case studies shared by the search engine giant.

Content marketing success is based largely on data. And data is what you get when you rely on Google Analytics.

image71

12. Dasheroo – A newcomer to the business dashboard space, Dasheroo is a free tool that allows users to track KPIs spanning a variety of platforms and apps.

Dasheroo integrates with many of the tools you use as a content marketer such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Shopify, MailChimp, and many more.

In simple terms, Dasheroo imports all your data into a super-attractive dashboard. You can forget about opening multiple tabs and dealing with a crazy number of logins. Everything is in one place.

image39

13. SimpleReach – With a focus on content measurement and distribution, SimpleReach is a must for content marketers.

After you create killer content, use this tool to get your content in front of your target audience. By “bridging the gap between measurement and distribution,” you can better measure performance and optimize content reach.

image43

14. Simply Measured – Simply Measured wants you to realize that there is more to social media than publishing content. As a social media analytics and measurement tool, it helps content marketers research each post and measure its effectiveness.

Users have access to a variety of reports, including a competitor comparison analysis.

image04

15. Zuum – You aren’t the only person in your space focused on content marketing. Regardless of your niche, you will have plenty of competition. Zuum is a tool to help you outdo the competition at every turn.

Here is what it can do for you: compare your social media efforts to that of your competition’s, pinpoint your competitor’s top campaigns, and identify on whom (influencers) they are relying to amplify their message.

image73

Influencer Marketing Tools

16. Traackr – “Influence marketing” is a buzz phrase you don’t want to ignore. The same holds true for this content marketing tool.

Traackr does more than just help you identify influencers in your niche. As an “Influencer Management Platform,” it also allows you to manage relationships and track their impact on your business. If you want to learn more, check out this two-minute video.

image03

17. Klout – Klout takes a simplistic approach to content marketing: “The best way to have an impact online is to create and share great content.”

Klout assists with this process by suggesting content your audience has yet to see and tracking the impact. And don’t forget about the Klout Score, which measures your influence. The higher your score, the more influence you have.

image32

18. Kred – In the same vein as Klout, Kred was designed with the idea of connecting people with social media influencers. To go along with identifying influencers, Kred helps you boost your social media standing.

image36

Social Media

19. Socedo – Is social media lead generation enticing? Socedo takes the guesswork out of the process, allowing you to find your target audience, engage them, and fill your funnel with leads. 

A big part of what social media can do for you is its ability to bring prospects into your pipeline. Socedo assists with every step.

image13

20. Storify – Every minute of every day, there are millions of people sharing their thoughts online. Storify is a simple way to identify, collect, and share what others are saying.
