Social Media Tools: The Must Haves
Social Media is extremely time consuming.
If you are like me and active in all the top social communities, it can take the majority of your time just keeping up with the changes, interacting with the community, and following your various social media campaigns.
The good thing is that for each community you decide to get involved with, there are numerous tools that can help save you a ton of time.
Social Link Building 3.0b SP2
Recently, I wrote an article about creating higher quality content for social media to help increase your chance of success.
I have always stated that I believe social media is by far the quickest and most effective way to link build and promote your content online today. No other place can provide you the exposure you need to get natural and authoritative links, like social media can. However, if you do not have quality content then you are not likely to get the quality links you desire, even if you do get to the front page of a top social community.
Quality content is very important, but it is also not the only factor to consider when preparing and pushing your social media campaign. You need to consider which category your submitting to, what time of day it is, and which day of the week you submit.
For instance, you almost never want to submit or push a social media campaign on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or holidays. The people who are likely to link to you or help your submission get promoted, are less likely to be online during these times. You want to submit during a time period that most people are likely to be at work.

Social Media Voting With VOTRS.com
With so many popular social media communities, tools, and platforms out there, it is a nightmare to try to push anything across the board in social media.
No one wants to be that person who sends messages to their friends or colleagues asking them to Delicious, Sphinn, Mixx, Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, and possibly even hit Propeller for their recent content. Needless to say, that would make for a short lived friendship and possibly an ass kicking at your next meet up.
Luckily, Dan Zarrella has created a great social media tool at VOTRS.com that allows you make a short url with all the top social communities included, that you can send to a friend or colleague and influence the actions you desire.
Head over to http://votrs.com and follow the simple instructions, while selecting the social communities you want to include.
