Boost Your Social Media with AI Powered Apps

Social media is a powerful tool for businesses. It can help you reach a wider audience and build stronger relationships with your customers. But managing social media can be draining and time-consuming for business owners. This is why AI powered apps become your work bestie!

Why Use AI for Social Media?

AI powered apps can automate many tasks. They can schedule posts, analyze data, help with targeting, and even help generate content. This saves you so much time and helps you focus on strategy. Let's look at some of my favourite AI powered apps and how they save us hours of work.

Scheduling and Posting

Scheduling posts is essential for consistent engagement. Social media loves consistency. And as a business owner being consistent is tough. Small teams wearing many hats can be over whelming. That's why AI powered apps like Canva and Planable can help. They allow you to schedule posts across multiple platforms. You can plan your content weeks or months in advance, collaborate in real time and send feedback.

Planable offers an amazing all in one solution for every platform but it does come at a price. Here are my picks of best paid and free options:

• Planable - Paid
  
• Later - Free and Paid
• Hootsuite- Paid
• Tikt Tok Studio - Free
• Youtube Studio - Free
• Facebook Business Suite - Free

Content Creation

Creating engaging content is key to social media success. Everyone knows and loves Canva and it's becoming more and more powered by AI.  Apart from that,  Canva offers templates and design tools for creating eye-catching graphics. 

These tools make it easier to produce high-quality content. You don't need to be a graphic designer or video editor to use. Helping businesses with small teams scale faster.

• Gemini - the best and it's free, generate images and text. I love using Gemini combined with Canva to produce fun graphics, blog posts etc. 
• Copy.ai - perfect tool for writing
• Blaze.ai - I haven't used this yet but I'm eyeing it, it's the on person marketing team ai
• ChatGPT - I'm sure everyone know this by now
