Note: As of May 2019, Circleboom is no longer offering any follow / unfollow tools, and this article is no longer relevant. However, I have left it up for legacy purposes. My recommended replacement tool for Twitter management is Tweepi.

It’s been a difficult few years for Twitter tools.

With Twitter getting stricter with what functionalities these tools are able to utilize, we’ve seen many of the greats get practically shut down overnight.

Manageflitter. Crowdfire. Statusbrew. All a shell of what they once were.

After all, it looked like Twitter has been looking to get rid of follow / unfollow tools for good. In an effort to combat spammers, even the tools that survived have been subject to strict limits.

One of these tools that still exist today is called Circleboom. I’ve had the opportunity to use it for a couple of months now, migrating after my previous tool (Manageflitter) was rendered practically useless.

Is Circleboom a good Manageflitter alternative, and should you sign up? In this article, we’re going to cover these questions and more.

The Ultimate HootSuite Pro Review

Update November 2021 – Due to massive price increases, I no longer use HootSuite Pro as my main social media scheduler – opting for Later.com instead.

If you want to scale your business, it’s imperative that you do something that can save you time.

After all, regardless of how hard we work, we only have 24 hours in a day to get things done.

In the past, this meant hiring employees to take on projects for us so we could allocate our resources elsewhere. However, for those of us who work online, we’ve also been granted some amazing tools that can save us hours of time each day – at a much cheaper price as well.

HootSuite Pro is one of those tools.

If you do any social media marketing at all (which you should be if you’re running any sort of business) then read on – the way you manage your social profiles may be about to change forever. Here is my ultimate review for HootSuite Pro.

Most Bloggers Are Using Social Media For The Wrong Reasons

icons-368716_640

A vital part of your online media empire is your social pages. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram- whatever networks you have chosen to amass a following on, these pages are huge assets to your business when used properly.

We’re all told as beginning bloggers that we need to start social pages for our blogs. We’re told to share links to our content and other people’s content on our pages. We’re told that we can also use our pages to make money. However, beyond that, we’re left out in the dark, wandering aimlessly as we not only try to build a following, but keep our following engaged with our posts.

This has unfortunately but understandably led to some pretty bad behavior, and the majority of people have failed to realize where the real power behind social media lies.

Facebook vs Twitter For Business

Social media marketing can be very tough. Not only does it take a lot of time, if you do it incorrectly you won’t see any results. This is especially true if only one person is handling social media, as it is hard to keep up with multiple social networking sites on your own. If you had to devote your time to either Facebook or Twitter, which should you choose?

Authorship And The Future Of SEO

Note: This post is now considered to be outdated, as Authorship was not rolled out fully due to poor adoption. While Google still shows interests in pursuing some sort of authority ranking for content creators themselves, the specifics mentioned in this post are no longer relevant.

Ranking in search engines is so much different than it used to be. When search engines were new, you were able to rank highly in Google just for mentioning your target keywords multiple times on each of your pages. These days, it’s not that easy. In fact, it’s getting harder and harder to rank highly in Google, which is why you need to start building your Author Rank now.
