Social Media Content Suggestions

Many content and social media marketers relied heavily on Hootsuite and Buffer’s “Suggestion” features. When these features were abandoned, marketers were sent scrambling to find a useful alternative or face skimming through tens of news sites in order to create interesting content.

There’s no lack of social media management tools that include content suggestions and I’ve included a few in this article.

If you’re looking for the ones that really excel and provide marketers with intuitive content directly related to their industry or niche, then this list is for you.

We built MixBloom to solve exactly this problem, but we didn’t just build a tool, we built a complete social media management service that comes with its own powerful white label scheduling and approvals tool. It’s easier and faster than hiring your own social media manager the old way!

So if you’re open to working with an actual person who will learn about your brand or clients and prepare and schedule content for you, then make sure to check it out, otherwise skip MixBloom and go through the tools I’ve put together in this list.

MixBloom

MixBloom is ideal for both agencies and brands. MixBloom works to match agencies and marketers with a social media professional whose main goal is to generate and post exciting, relevant content for their social media channels.

MixBloom takes it a step further than just generating suggested content. – which we do, in our Suggestions tab. You can either let your Social Media Manager pick content for you, or select the posts you want he or she to write for you.

Your dedicated Social Media Manager not only hand-picks the best content for you, but creates original social media posts tailored specifically to your social media channels.

In order to create these posts for you, your Social Media Manager searches through an array of the latest industry-related news, videos, and images in order to create posts that will keep your channels fresh and engaging.

The content is delivered to you through a convenient dashboard as well as through email to give you a chance to sift through and perform quality control. Then the content is posted to your sites based on your chosen weekly schedule.

What about promoting my products?

MixBloom creates original text or image content recommending third-party articles or videos, your own ideas or articles, as well as personalized promotional posts for your business.

There is virtually no limit on the type of content that MixBloom can provide and their services will save you plenty of time each week. Typically, after you have set up a MixBloom social media account, the only work required of you is looking over the content delivered to you weekly. Your social media manager will do the rest.

How is my content promoted?

Your social media manager can create several original posts for each of your products, including eBooks, landing pages, articles, and more.

You can either choose the pages you want to be promoted or let MixBloom check your RSS feed to select the best content to use.

This content may include product or service announcements or just general content surrounding your offered products or current postings. The social media posts we create are designed to continuously drive traffic to your selected pages for months to come.

What social media channels do you cover?

MixBloom will create content for Facebook, Facebook Groups or Pages, Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter, or any other social outlet supported by Buffer with any of our three monthly payment plans.

A white label social media dashboard, too!

MixBloom is a great option for agencies looking to manage their clients’ social media accounts.

Not only we take care of all social media content creation for them, we can make our dashboard accessible to agency clients completely white label. They’ll share a simple link with their clients, who can then review the content, feedback and request edits directly to our writers.

Nuzzel

Nuzzel offers a suggested content feature that is a bit different from other providers. This is because Nuzzel’s suggested content is sourced from content that is being hared by your digital peers, meaning the content all comes from posts that your social circle is already sharing and talking about, which helps keep your content relevant to those who will see it.

You receive daily content briefings giving you the low down on this relevant content, making it easier and quicker for you to decide what to share with your followers and clients. The content shared with you can easily be shared with your entire marketing team, which can give you the upper advantage.

Nuzzel offers suggested content but takes it a step further

Nuzzel will load you down with suggested content in their intelligence reports, but Nuzzel also produces “Interest Scores,” which help you determine exactly which stories are most relevant and useful for you. This way, everything you share on your social media channels is sure to pique the interest of your followers and keep on the topic based on your chosen keywords. Nuzzel also quickly creates newsletters containing

industry-specific news as well, which further saves you priceless time.

There are several different monthly plans for Nuzzel

These include the Professional, Team, and Enterprise plans with five, ten, and 20 monthly intelligence reports respectively. Each plan increases slightly in price, as well as the number of people receiving the regularly updated reports. Nuzzel has plans that work well even with large teams, sending out the curated intelligence report to up to 50

people each time. This will help keep your entire team on track simultaneously and save you time and hassle. This level of collaboration is one main reason Nuzzle makes the list of the best Hootsuite alternatives.

Nuzzel will integrate directly with your Slack account

Curated content can be delivered by Nuzzel directly to your existing Slack account, making it easier than ever to share new content amongst your team. Nuzzel also provides a research tool within your Slack profile to help you find specific content in a jiffy.

Who does Nuzzel target?

Nuzzel is great for content marketers to stay on top of the game and save valuable time finding relevant and engaging content for their regular social media posts. However, Nuzzle is useful for other reasons. Investors can use Nuzzel to track valuable information on their investments and gain insight into possible future financial decisions. PR Agents can use Nuzzle to keep up with the latest news and trends in their respective industries.

Nuzzel can be used by any person looking for specifically filtered, relevant

news content tailored to their personal needs and interests.
