Hello! I recently gave a presentation with San Francisco social media maven Lori Kober called Social Media Success in 15 Minutes a Day. Lori and I met at a previous presentation I gave about Facebook, and we hit it off immediately. Lori loves such media, and her 17,000 organic Twitter followers show it. It was exciting to give the presentation because I know that Lori’s system, which combines 3 social media tools for productivity, is insanely useful — which is why it will rock your world.

How to Get Started
Before you get started with Lori’s social media productivity tools, you need to do a little leg work.
Make sure you have your website, blog, and social channels up and running, branded to reflect the coolness of you and your business.
Here are the rest of the steps:
- Set up Buffer
- Set up Pocket
- Set up and link a content curation site like Feedly.
Easy as pie.
Set up Buffer
Buffer is a very useful app that allows you to do a few things:
- Automatically schedule your social media
- Take advantage of Buffer’s suggested content
- Easily bookmark anything you think is interesting and
- In the paid version, see analytics right in the app
Setting up Buffer is easy. Download the buffer app from your app store and set up a free account. Link your social media accounts, and make sure to set a schedule of how often you want to post each day.
I suggest posting every couple of hours on Twitter, 3 times a day on LinkedIn, 1 per day on your Facebook page, and 3 times a day on Google+, but you can tinker with this to see what works for you.
Finally, make sure that you put your buffer bookmarklet into your toolbar so you can easily add items to your buffer when you are surfing the internet.
Set up Pocket
Pocket is a second useful app that allows you to store up digital reading material in the form of a well-laid-out list. Pocket is free. A premium version just became available, featuring permanent document storage and enhanced search.
You can place a Pocket bookmarklet on your toolbar to save and sync posts, articles, images, and videos across devices.
Set up Feedly
Feedly is the third useful app in our triumvirate. Feedly is a content curation tool that allows you to add RSS feeds to lists. In the settings, you choose your favorite saving tool — in our case, Pocket.
Putting Your Productivity Tools Together
Once you have set up these three productivity tools, you can use Feedly to quickly scan for new content, including your own blog content (seeing my blog on Feedly makes me feel a little famous, I don’t know why). Then, you can save selected content to your pocket. From Pocket, you can easily schedule your content to Buffer.
It takes some time to download the apps, choose your favorite content sources, and sync them. But once you do, you’ll have a content curation machine that can be accessed anywhere.
Just don’t content curate and drive!
