We also mentioned some more inbound marketing tools briefly, on a concluding note. Today, let's get up close and personal with some more inbound marketing tools. After all, it never hurts to get acquainted with alternatives and the tools that we are going to get to know about today are nothing if not robust and optimal in their own right. So, let's not waste any more time beating around the bush. The following section brings you the details of some more inbound marketing tools out there.
We had briefly mentioned the following tools in the previous post. It's time to get into a little detail.
FollowerWonk is predominantly a social media analytics tool and is a great ally of content marketers. It lets you export your research analytics to a CSV file and saves your latest search results. It searches users on Twitter by tracking keywords and compares them on the basis of various parameters like influence, followers, following, age, etc. This helps content marketers connect with authoritative social media bloggers, in turn enabling the former to optimally reach out to the latter's followers. The Twitter analytics feature also lets content marketers track their progress and 'up their game' accordingly. FollowerWonk comes in paid as well as free versions. Needless to say, the free version gives its users access to lesser features and facilities than the paid version.

You just need to click on them once to map all your social media contacts and their information with your address book contacts. Whenever you sign in to your social media accounts thereafter, Rapportive posts a query about the type of information about your contacts you want on your Rapportive profile. This streamlines the amount and type of information you want access to.
