There’s a very good reason why Google trends shows massive growth in search traffic for influencer marketing.

And later on we’ll show you why.

A couple of years ago I was training a group of marketing professionals about influencer marketing.

Their main question was how to evaluate influencers.

But… the problem was that they were working with influencers for many years.

In this article, I’m going to review Wave.video which enables you to quickly create great looking videos.

Did you know that 80% of all web traffic will be video by 2020?

Yes, I know…video takes up a lot of bandwidth so its no surprise it will account for the vast majority of web traffic…

…but it’s still an impressive number!

So it’s no wonder video is playing such an important part in marketing strategies businesses use today.

And if you’re wondering about the tangible business results that video brings…just look at the following stat:

In this article, I’ll review Frase and show how it can be a very useful tool to automatically parse through interesting content online and produce relevant summaries for newsletters, learning, and more.

We are in a state of content overload.

When we search Google it typically returns hundreds of thousands or millions of matches for any query.

That’s great. But how do you sort through all those results to find the most relevant content?

As a marketer, I’m sure you know that this process could be a whole lot faster.

In this article, you’ll find out how you can save time and money and get better results by reducing the number of tools you use for social media management by using Agorapulse only.

When I first launched RazorSocial, I focused on reviewing social media tools.

You know what was really annoying?

I had to use so many different tools to achieve the results I wanted. Each tool had some feature I needed that the other tool didn’t!!!

Here are the tools I was using:

• Meet Edgar –  This tool only supports scheduling content for social media. It did, however, introduce a good concept where you could add content to categories and then share based on a category (e.g. share content from the influencer quote category, then share content from your blog, etc.)
• Hootsuite – I used Hootsuite for day-to-day management of my social media accounts.  I never liked the interface but it worked!
• Buffer –  If I wanted to share a piece of content while browsing the Web, I could do this with Buffer’s browser plugin. It allowed me to click on a button to share the content.
• YouTube –  I couldn’t respond to comments on my videos through third party apps, so I used YouTube directly.

At the time (a couple of years ago), Agorapulse wasn’t perfect either.
