Once in a while we come across some great online freebies and rather than just sharing on social media, we thought we’d gather up a few today in a single post full of free stuff to check out during your holiday weekend.
We’ll be back on Sunday with another Author Marketing Mastery installment, as well as a special offer to help you celebrate your own Author Independence. Meanwhile, here’s the lineup – Enjoy!
1. Crowdfire: Refine Twitter and Instagram FREE
On the heels of our Twitter discussion, you need to be in on a site we’re loving here at WWW. There’s a paid version, too, but most of you will be more than happy using the free version. Crowdfire works with both Twitter and Instagram and helps you keep track of unfollowers, non-followers and followers.
You can see who’s not following back (and unfollow them right there). We also like the “inactive following” option so Twitter account holders who’ve “left the building” aren’t cluttering up who you’re following. An ‘Auto DM’ feature let’s you set up a “Thanks for following” type message to new followers. You can even search keywords within the app to find new followers.
Check ’em out HERE (and we highly recommend learning all the site can do for you on their help section HERE.
