In his article Clery, reports:

#1: Be More Efficient on Facebook

Post Planner, an independent application you install within Facebook, is designed to help you deliver content to your Facebook Page effectively. The app offers paid plans and a free trial. We’ve used the free trial for the demonstration (below).

#2: Automate Repetitive Tasks Between Platforms and Apps

Zapier will automate tasks between online services. For example, when a new video is uploaded to your YouTube channel, Zapier will send out a tweet. The app offers a standard free service and paid premium plans. We’ve used the free trial for this demonstration.

Zapier currently works with over 200 online services and more services are added regularly.

#3: Distribute New Blog Posts

When you publish a new blog post, you want to send it out to your social networks. Dlvr.it allows you to do this automatically and provides good analytics in the bargain. The app offers free and paid versions.
