Re: Your Content, Everywhere: The 17 Best Tools to Get Your Content Its Largest Audience

Lana Topham — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 13:53:51 -0000

Great tools here, Kevan! In particular, I've now started using 'wisestamp' as my new email signature. I also love the list of channels Buffer hits when they have new content -- as a fairly new Community Manager, this has given me new areas to think about. And, I must say, the *earned media* of Buffer including Goodbits as a tool is quite lovely too!

Love this post! What tool do you use to do your screen shot GIFs, Kevan? And under the header Tools to create beautiful blog visuals, I love to use http://www.tryspruce.com/ to grab my free images and add text. They're made just for Twitter but I also use these images in all our wordpress blog posts.

Ahh, appreciate that. We use Cloudapp too but find the GIF is too big to throw on a blog post, especially if the reader is reading the article on their mobile device. I was hoping Kevan used something different so I could try that.

Hi Kevan -- I was wondering whether Buffer will eventually give you the ability to PIN content you have queued up for FB and Twitter?

Why, thank you! It would be helpful for me b/c we're doing an advent calendar of marketing tips and right now, I need to log into each account and unpin the old post and pin the new one. Left some feedback on the link you provided. :)

Interesting read! Have a crush on women making it in tech <3. Video is something we definitely want to incorporate into our 2015 marketing strategy for Goodbits and I think Statdragon could really help us. I am assuming it's most useful if you have a few videos though?

Oh, I didn't know they had a video-creating tool! I'll check it out. Thanks.

Re: When Ego Gets in the Way: 3 Ideas to Work With Less Ego

If ego, in most people, is the dominant driver of all thoughts, actions and ways of going about life then what would happen if we didn't have one? Would we be lacking the drive to succeed? Would we ask him/her for their phone number? Would we have Buffer?! :O

Re: How to Make a Cart Abandonment Email ‘Sandwich’

Lana Topham — Wed, 20 May 2015 13:54:48 -0000

Interesting tactic. I'm a big fan of the cart abandonment email which sends along a code for some sort of discount or free shipping -- that's usually just enough for me to pull the trigger. Also it would be effective to ask why the customer didn't move forward with a simple multiple choice question. A lot of the times it's due to shipping costs/unexpected extra fees as you move through the steps to purchase your item; I've abandoned so many carts because of this!
