Looks like you're also breaking out the kind or presentation of the content per platform, which is very savvy.

The pictures aren't good enough to use as cover images, but they're good for inspirational memes and blog posts. I think I pay $90 per year.<br /><br />I also have SocialJukebox. I'm only using it to share to Twitter at the moment while I figure out how I'm going to share to Facebook. I use it for retweeting memes, evergreen blog posts, and book reviews I've written. <br /><br />I use Buffer for sharing to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, and Instagram, and I can personalise the post to each (e.g. so the tweet has two relevant hashtags, while Instagram has more, and I usually delete them for the other platforms). I don't share everything on every platform - I do pick and choose so hopefully people don't see the same thing over and over.<br /><br />I use Buffer for sharing my own content (e.g. new blog posts), and for sharing good posts I find from others (like this one). I spend a couple of hours a week and "fill" my Buffer, and it then drips the articles out over the next week. I'm on the Awesome plan which allows me to link 10 social media profiles for $10/month.<br /><br />I'm another Canva fan, although I get all I need from the free version at the moment. It's great.<br /><br />What I'm not so good at is tracking my analytics. I'll get there!Iolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199141868703826943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-24564793382801895022017-06-15T15:01:00.950-04:002017-06-15T15:01:00.950-04:00I do three things that may be helpful to others:
...I do three things that may be helpful to others:<br /><br />1. I cross collect stuff. Things I save on Facebook from my profile can be posted to my fan page and, sometimes to Twitter. Things I find on GooglePlus (which I hardly ever post on) are rich fodder for Facebook and Twitter. Lots of things from all three places also get pinned to Pinterest. <br /><br />2. I use Social Jukebox to post to Facebook and Twitter for a low cost per month ($19.99). I have one Facebook account and two Twitter accounts set up for that price. I can fill up ten 'jukeboxes' of content for each of those. I have an AmReading jukebox, for example, feeding to my Facebook fan page and to my Twitter author page. I have another jukebox for reading memes for Facebook and an AmWriting jukebox for writing related memes and articles for Twitter since a lot of my followers there are other authors. I have an add on for Chrome that lets me save easily to the Jukeboxes and I have them set to forget. They schedule everything for me. You could do the same sort of thing with Hootsuite or any of half a dozen other programs. <br /><br />3. I have a paid Canva account to create graphics. Canva has a lot of free photos and graphics you can use to create ads and memes, to begin with. The paid account (about 9.99 a month w/ 2 months free if paid annually) gets you even more graphics free. Most other graphics there are just a dollar for a one time use. If you're using a graphic of theirs to make a book cover that isn't always free or always free because you have a paid plan, you can pay $10 to get an unlimited use commercial license. If you can't find something there to use, Pixabay is free and there are lots of great photos, graphics and vectors there.Anne Haganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519954168200329590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-5611053927305778102017-06-15T13:18:30.741-04:002017-06-15T13:18:30.741-04:00Thanks for the recommendations.

Most days I count myself lucky just to post on Facebook. I'm hoping that down the line I can get a bit more proactive.Jana Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603652346290427856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901370917824739259.post-62216886841817808842017-06-15T10:11:07.518-04:002017-06-15T10:11:07.518-04:00I have yet to publish, but I maintain a "mini...I have yet to publish, but I maintain a "minimal" media presence with a monthly blog, daily twitter and Facebook ( though I have lapsed lately birth of grandson, elder care, you know the drill). I love Pinterest as part of my writer platform. I've used depositphoto.com, a pay as you go option, but found Unsplash.com a treasure trove of free photos to use without restriction.
