The Martech space is brimming with tools, dashboards, and automation to make life easier for marketers. These social media tools are helpful in a number of ways. They help content marketers and social media managers plan their content, create them, schedule and post them and also view audience engagement on each post.
This is fantastic way to gauge engagement, review strategy and pivot if needed. But there's a slight problem.
Like we said, the app and tool space is flooded with software which can help make the life of marketers easier. However, the sheer volume of such tools makes it difficult for marketers to zero down on which ones would be both efficient and cost effective and get started ASAP. After all, most people don't like skimming through multiple pricing options and going through zillions of features while chugging 50 gallons of coffee, just to end up with brain fog.
So, DigiWitch has curated a list of 5 Must-Have tools that are perfect for agencies, solopreneurs, freelancers and content creators alike. They are pocket-friendly options that offer a wide variety of features, awesome support, and of course, we have personally used each one of them (FREE and PRO versions) to come to this page and type out this heartfelt recommendation.
And yes, we have also added codes to some of the tools that'll give you some kind of benefit or the other in the form of free credits or access benefits.
Let's get on with it.

Hashtag Slayer
Hashtags are one of the most efficient engagement tools you will find on social media. Right from getting more eyeballs to your social posts to helping categorise the kind of content you are sharing, they do a lot.
However, creating a bunch of new, relevant hashtags every now and the could be tiring for social media managers and content marketers. Also, solopreneurs or coaches managing their own social media handles, might not feel comfortable spending tons of time researching and making lists of hashtags.
This is where Hashtag Slayer comes in.
The tool is best when it comes to coaches or managers handling social media for coaches. You can use the tool for Ecommerce and B2C offerings as well. To tools lets you analyze competitors, discover the top hashtags in your niche, and boost reach with an optimised set of hashtags for every post.
The reason this is more important today than ever before is because the algorithm reads the same set of hashtags repeated over and over, again as spam. And you wouldn't like to be considered yourself as a SPAM account just because of the same set of hashtags you've been using time and again, right?
We don't have any code for Hashtag Slayer right now, but the moment we do, we will share it with you for sure.
