1. Pin4Ever

Pin4Ever is a set of power tools for Pinterest that help you quickly protect, organize, create, and upload your pins. Includes different features deppending on the plan you have, but my favorites are:

Bulk Image Uploading
Pin multiple images from your local drive or images from the web, including  Facebook,  Instagram, Pinterest, and other sites, with an optional time delay between pins.

Update Pin Descriptions/Links
Update descriptions and/or source links on multiple pins simultaneously.
Pin Anything Tool
Pin pages that don't have any pinnable images by taking a screen shot of any part of the page.
Top Pins Board
See your most popular pins (most repinned and liked) on this automatically generated board.

2. Canva

Great tool to make covers and Social Media Images

3. Trello

It's like Pinterest but to manage your own project. I love it!

4. Dropbox and Google Drive for storage

5. TweetDeck and Hootsuite allow you manage several Twitter and Facebook accounts from one dashboard

6. Photobucket and Imageshack for hosting your images when you need to have the URL.

If you know any other tools feel free to share them on the comments so I can make this list bigger.

HOW MANY page views is "normal" ?

The number of PVs (Page Views) per user will vary enormously from site to site. Whether having a low number of PVs per visit is good or bad will depend on the site.

You might expect a community site to have quite a few PVs, for example, but an editorial site with information on many subtopics might average only a few PVs per visit (especially if users are coming in through search) because users leave when they've found the information they're looking for.


To make matters more complicated, a user who looks at only a page or two today may come back again and again if he regards your site as an authoritative source of information on a broad topic.


That said, you may be interested in check out this study that shows some statistics to make you consider how is your blog/page doing:

How to personalize your facebook fanpage's tabs + a FREEBIE

I just personalized my facebook fanpage. I changed the front pic and the tabs. Look:

I get lots of questions about the tabs. How to install them and how can they be personalized. Actually is really easy:

First you need to find the apps you want to add and install them. I use one for my blog, my TpT store and my top fans.

 

Now you type the app name. I recommend these:

For the blog: NetworkedBlogs
For the stores: Add Page Tab
To create promotions and giveaways (Paid): Easypromos
For the fans: Fan of the week and Topfan

Install it:

 Just follow the directions they give there. They are very easy too.

Ok, with the tabs installed, now you need to design an image for the tab. It must be 111x74 pixels. You can download and use these for free:

Also, you can ask me for custom images for your facebook fanpage.

Now, go to your page, and:

Search for the image you want to insert.
