Pulse: The social media tools our readers can’t live without

This July, Inman’s editorial theme is Teams — what it takes to build and join one, how to optimize your team for summer 2020, and even when to consider leaving one. And if you’re not already a subscriber to our Teams Beat email newsletter, sent every Thursday, sign up now.

Pulse is a recurring column where we ask for readers’ takes on varying topics in a weekly survey and report back with our findings.

As you know, this year, social media has played a key role in shaping conversations and staying connected with family, friends and potential clients.

Facebook, Instagram and YouTube are just a few of the many platforms agents can harness to put their businesses in the forefront of their clients’ minds, and just as importantly, be there for their communities in a time of need.

So, given social media’s importance in this new normal, last week, we asked you to share the essential go-to tools in your social media marketing toolbox. Here’s what our readers have been using to up their content game lately.

  • OutboundEngine
  • ModernAgent
  • Skype
  • Canva
  • Facebook
  • Later (scheduling for Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest)
  • Lumen5
  • Streamyard (multicast livestreaming)
  • Linktr.ee
