Conclusion:

You know that feeling when someone asks you, “What’s your secret sauce?” and you realize… wait, do I even have a secret sauce? That happened to me recently when someone asked about the tools I use in my day-to-day life as a social media manager. And let me tell you, it got me thinking—hard. I’m not a magician (though I’d like to be), but I do have a few tricks up my sleeve. So, I thought I’d spill the tea on the 10 tools that keep my life organized, my creativity flowing, and my sanity intact.

1. UENI: My Personal Web Wizard

Let’s kick things off with UENI , my behind-the-scenes website genius. For just $149, they build your site from scratch, saving you the headache of coding, designing, or any of that other technical mumbo jumbo. But here’s the kicker: once your site is up, they don’t just leave you hanging. Within seven days, they schedule a one-on-one call with you to walk through the whole thing, explaining every bell and whistle like a tech-savvy friend.

Funny story: when I first got my site, I was convinced I’d hit some secret lottery. I mean, who gives you that much personalized service? My favorite part? They can tweak the code to make your website look exactly how you want it, even if your site isn’t a full-blown e-commerce store. It’s like having a secret weapon in your back pocket—perfect for anyone who wants to look like a pro without all the hassle.

2. ChatGPT: The AI Sidekick I Never Knew I Needed

Oh, ChatGPT, where have you been all my life? This tool is my ride-or-die, my creative muse, and my brainstorming buddy all rolled into one. With the right prompts and the premium version, it’s like having a whole think tank at your fingertips. And let me tell you, you need to make AI think with you, not just for you. Gary Vee once said, “You need to make AI think with you,” and I couldn’t agree more. It’s all about giving ChatGPT a little guidance and watching it run wild.

Now, here’s the difference between ChatGPT and, say, Perplexity (we’ll get to that gem in a minute): ChatGPT is your go-to for anything creative, conversational, and just plain fun. Need a social media post? Boom, it’s done. Struggling to write a tricky email? ChatGPT’s got your back. But here’s the thing—it’s only as good as the prompts you give it. It’s like cooking: with the right ingredients (or prompts), you’re the master chef. And trust me, the results are delicious.

3. Perplexity: The Sherlock Holmes of Research Tools

Now, if ChatGPT is my creative co-pilot, then Perplexity is my detective partner, complete with a magnifying glass and a penchant for accuracy. Perplexity isn’t just about throwing answers your way—it backs up every claim with real, verifiable sources. It’s like having your own fact-checker on speed dial. I’ve relied on it for everything from quick research tasks to deeper dives when I need to know the latest and greatest info, and unlike some other AI tools, Perplexity isn’t just guessing.

Quick story: One time, I needed to fact-check something fast for a campaign. ChatGPT, bless its heart, gave me some info, but when I switched to Perplexity? It not only gave me the answer but also cited its sources. It’s like having an AI that actually does its homework. So while ChatGPT keeps my creative juices flowing, Perplexity keeps me accurate, grounded, and confident that I’m getting it right.

4. GAMMA: The Presentation Prodigy

Okay, picture this: you’ve got a presentation deadline looming, and PowerPoint just feels… old. Enter Gamma, the coolest kid on the presentation block. With stunning colors, dynamic layouts, and even AI-generated images, it’s like someone took your dream design studio and packed it into one program. I’m seriously debating buying a year’s subscription because I can’t get enough.

The best part? GAMMA isn’t just a one-trick pony. You can bring your text, your visuals, your wildest ideas—and it molds them into something professional and polished. It’s the superhero cape I didn’t know I needed, and it makes every presentation feel like a work of art.

5. Canva: The Magic Box That Never Runs Out

Oh, Canva. It’s like that drawer full of odds and ends where you always find something amazing—except this drawer is organized, beautiful, and constantly surprising me with new features. Every time I open Canva, it’s like stepping into a candy store of design goodies. From social media posts to elaborate infographics, Canva’s got me covered, and then some.

Real talk: I once spent two hours in Canva when I was supposed to be working on something else—just because I kept finding new templates, graphics, and ways to make my content pop. It’s an endless treasure hunt, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

6. CapCut: The Video Editor I Never Knew I Needed

Want to look like a video editing pro without the hefty price tag? CapCut is your best friend. I’m using the free version, and even that has me feeling like I’m Steven Spielberg on a budget. Free subtitles? Check. Easy-to-use editing tools? Double check. And don’t get me started on the three free editing hours per month. Perfect for those who, like me, just need to get the job done without all the fluff.

7. Get Munch: The Snackable Video Guru

Munch is all about making things short, sweet, and shareable. Upload a long video, and it’ll slice it into perfect social media-ready clips, complete with subtitles and captions. And let’s be real—who has time to edit down hours of footage? Get Munch does it all for you with the kind of efficiency that makes you wonder why every video tool isn’t this smart.

And their customer service? Chef’s kiss. They’re there for you like that friend who always picks up the phone, no matter what.

8. Buffer: My Social Media Scheduler Extraordinaire

If Buffer were a person, it would be that super-organized friend who always has their life together. Need to schedule posts, analyze your content, or just make sure you’re on top of your social media game? Buffer’s got you. It’s the quiet, unassuming workhorse in my toolkit that keeps everything running smoothly, and honestly, I’d be lost without it.

9. HubSpot: The All-in-One Wizard of Marketing

HubSpot isn’t just a tool; it’s an experience. Think of it like your marketing Swiss Army knife—it’s got everything from email marketing to customer service wrapped up in one neat, user-friendly package. I use it to keep all my marketing ducks in a row and let me tell you, it’s worth every penny.

10. Mailchimp: The Email Whisperer

Email marketing? Piece of cake with Formation Mailchimp. It’s like having your own personal assistant that helps you manage lists, create gorgeous newsletters, and make sure your audience stays engaged. I’ve tried a few email platforms, but Mailchimp always pulls me back in with its ease of use and powerful features.

And there you have it! The 10 tools that keep me sane, creative, and (mostly) organized as a social media manager.
