Put simply? You manage an online presence by having the right tools. If you’ve been reading along with our articles, like How will I use an online presence?, you may have noticed that there’s a few moving parts.
You may have heard or experienced horror stories about trying to navigate and manage an online presence.
But it truly doesn’t need to be like that.
With the right tools and even a rough plan, it can be a very smooth process with minimal effort and time. It can also be done completely for free if desired.
[Tweet “Have the right tools to manage an online presence efficiently.”]
So what are the right tools?
[two_third_first]Frankly this is subjective, it’s like asking 6 men if they prefer Mastercraft or Black and Decker for power drills (if they’re in Canada haha).
So, since we have your undivided attention captivated, you get to read about our opinions of the best tools!
No these aren’t the only options, but they are the options we prefer.
- WordPress for your website with blog (starts free)
- MailChimp or Drip for your email list (starts free); MailPoet is an option if your site is already self-hosted (starts free); ConvertKit (paid)
- Hootsuite (starts free) or Buffer (starts free) or Coschedule (paid) for your social scheduling and sharing
That’s it. Along with having your 3 social media accounts setup, these tools will allow you to interconnect everything and streamline things to manage an online presence like a well oiled machine.
