From the SocialPro Conference in Seattle, Washington, June 20-21, 2016. SESSION: Social Tools Super Session. PRESENTATION: Being Useful To Your Audience Doesn't Require A Big Budget Or Fancy Tools - Given by Kevin Mullett, @kmullett - MarketSnare, Director of Social Media and Visibility. #SocialPro #15A
// Being Useful to your Audience Doesn’t Require A Big Budget or Fancy Tools
Created and presented by Kevin R. Mullett (@kmullett) at the 2016 Seattle SocialPro Conference on Monday, June 20th.
#SocialPro
Remember, being useful to your audience isn’t a trick or a trend. And you don’t need fancy tools or a big budget to do that. I want you to be grounded in the understanding that everything I am discussing today is grounded in the fundamental principle of being useful and awesome.
Roughly 187 tools, plus another 59 in the bonus slides, totaling 246 ish.
3 tools? Well, let’s call them resources. Tools are not your job, they support it. Unfortunately, tools are kind of like sunsets. They easily grab our attention and being able to capture a good photo of a sunset may make us think we know more about photography than we actually do. So, let’s leave the hard-core tool research up to these three…resources:
Douglas Karr - https://twitter.com/douglaskarr
Ian Cleary - https://twitter.com/IanCleary
Travis Wright – https://twitter.com/teedubya
and myself of course - https://twitter.com/kmullett
Find a few trusted sources like these guys to do the heavy lifting of discovery and testing for you. Then you can evaluate how their recommendations fit into your needs, workflow, strategy, goals, buy-in, and of course available resources. Don’t be like me and one day discover that you have 444 Twitter applications connected to your account!
Social Media is Free to Use, Not Free to Do. So, you should leverage tools that make you more efficient and expand your capabilities, yes, even if you need to pay for them.
Wind is free, building and maintaining windmills is not.
Sometimes bosses won’t give us the tools we think we need to get things done, but let’s face it, we probably don’t need to rent a Lamborghini to get to the airport when a taxi will do. Either way, since I don’t know what your budget is these tools will range from free, reasonable for many businesses, and up to “Holy cow, who could afford that?”
- 8 tools to work with APIs and other platforms. Keep in mind that I don’ t know who you are, what do you need, and what your technical aptitude is. I also don’t know your budget, your workflow, desired outcomes and goals, your current struggles or directives. So I will cover a wide range of tools in hopes of you coming away with ONE that you will make a focus over the next three months.
Don’t let “technical aptitude” throw you off. Let’s face it, some of us are IFTTT folks and some of us are GitHub folks.

- 15 tools to help you organize and optimize your content opportunity. Did you know that today, June 20th is American Eagle Day?

Consider creating a content opportunity report (COR) before settling on an content (editorial) calendar, because it is important to discuss opportunity, and the value of each one, before committing to the effort to create content for each one.
Stop talking about Editorial Calendars before accessing your monthly, quarterly, and yearly known opportunity.

Content marketing isn’t just blogging, we already have a name for that, it’s called blogging. Think bigger! Sure some blog posts are part of your content marketing efforts, but not all blog posts are content marketing pieces.
The Lego Movie is an excellent example of content marketing. The goal was for you to watch what could be called an entertaining 100 minute toy commercial. Content marketing is disguised promotion that has perceived value. And often the end product is unique from the companies regular products or services.
A few of my favorite examples are: The LEGO Movie, Property Brothers, and Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Maybe even Third Door Media? And of course The John Deere Furrow (1897). Google? Most book authors? What are you giving away of value to get clients? The LEGO Movie is pretty far from, just a blog post.
Solve people’s problems, answer their questions, evoke emotion and entertain them.
And you don’t need fancy tools or a big budget to do that.
