A Checklist of Tools

Happy Monday, good people of the blogosphere! Wow, what a weekend, eh? Well, on to another week at the fantabulous Jo Michaels blog. You know you love me. If you didn't, you wouldn't be here, reading this post!

What's that? This is your first visit? Oh my... You should take a moment and give yourself a little tour. Check out the link list on the sidebar, grab your free branding PDF, and browse through some of the awesomeness that's found around here. Then, subscribe via e-mail so you don't miss anything new.

I know it's April Fool's Day, but you won't find shenanigans here. Sorry if I disappointed you.

Today's post is a compliment (call it a checklist, if you will) to my Social Networking Schedule. It's a handy little thing you can flash down to be sure you have all the things you need in your virtual tool belt.

Apps:

• Evernote (handy for syncing information across ALL devices)
• Flipboard
• Hootsuite (or Buffer)
• Facebook
• Twitter
• Goodreads
• Pinterest
• LinkedIn
• Google+
• Facebook Pages Manager
• Blogger (this got an update and works beautifully)
• StumbleUpon
• Tumblr

Social media you should be a part of:

• StumbleUpon
• Quora
• Squidoo
• YouTube
• Pinterest
• Facebook
• Twitter
• A blogging platform (Blogger, Tumblr, or WordPress)
• LinkedIn
• Google+
• Goodreads

Tools you should be using to streamline your workflow and up your visibility:

• Hootsuite (or Buffer)
• Flipboard
• Some kind of schedule, posted where you can see it every day

If you don't have a tablet, you might think about getting one. It will help you on your quest to becoming a force to be reckoned with online. I don't know what I'd do without my iPad. Seriously.

What's the point in taking the time to set up all these social networks?

The more places you are, the more places you can be found. Easy to explain.

How many of these networks are you on?

Well, that's all for today, folks! Until next time, WRITE ON!
