6 Free Options To Popular Paid Services And Tools

1. Scheduling: Buffer

Best time-saving tip for social media marketing is scheduling posts ahead of time for your social profiles. You can batch the social media marketing process: Do all your curating and composing all in one go, then spread those updates out across the next day or week.

2. Analytics: Google Analytics

Google Analytics does pretty much everything in terms of tracking the traffic to your website. It's a huge, monstrous amount of info, generously given away for free. 

3. SEO: Open Site Explorer

Free tool for checking your domain and page authority and also for checking how many links you are getting and from which source. You can also check your competition. But the free version only gives you 3 reports per day. 

4. Share buttons: SumoMe Share

The ubiquitous share buttons you see along the side of Wog posts, many of them come from SumoMe. The any-website buttons are part of the SumoMe suite of website products. 

5. Google Scholar

I love this tool for researching science-heavy articles and digging into emerging studies. It limits your search to articles, theses, books, abstracts, and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. 

6. Google Trends

See what the world is searching for and how interest in concepts has changed over time with Google Trends. For example, I feel like I'm suddenly hearing about "growth hacker" and "growth hacking." Are you, too?
