"So Much To Do, So Little Time...."
SelfMade
SelfMade is a social media branding company that specializes
in establishing aesthetically appealing photo edits in alignment with your
personal branding spread. They have three different packages that you can
choose from dependent upon your preference, and packages range from
$49.99/month - $149.99/month (the package that I chose is $100/month). In order to access the service, you must sign
up for the waiting list on SelfMade.com and wait to be contacted by a Creative
Agent.
Now the app itself is very user friendly and easy to use.
Once you sign up for the service, you’ll have access to the app’s photo portal
where you can upload edits and see finished photos that are ready to be
downloaded and used. Once you submit a photo to be edited you can include
comments on how you want the photo to be edited. The app lets you sort through
submitted pictures, finished pictures, and pictures that you liked.

PicCollage
PicCollage is one of all-time favorite apps, just because of the amount of features that are available for free. PicCollage can be used to create quick promotional logos, place watermarks over photos, editing pictures, and creating picture collages. With a lot of different fonts, backgrounds, borders, and colors to choose from, PicCollage makes creating content on the go much simpler. This proves useful in the PR world where photos are used to promote stories, create pitches, or promote blog posts or self-promotional materials. It is very easy to use on both my Ipod and on my Galaxy s7, just make sure you download the correct PicCollage because there are a lot of versions of the same concept available online.
Pros
-Its Free
-Its Available on Android and Apple
-Easy to use
Cons
-Free version has a PicCollage water mark at the bottom of
all pictures
-Ads on free version
Hootsuite is a social media management and scheduling app
that allows you to post content to a variety of different social media networks
such as twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Linkedin, and more. By choosing
to either post in real time or schedule content to post in the future,
Hootsuite on Ipod is very user-friendly and allows you to sort through content
options per each social media page attached. Users can also search through
hundreds of features including keyword search optimization, social media
analytics, and connect with many other services on the website
www.hootsuite.com One of my favorite features is publisher, which is the tab
that allows you to schedule content.
Pros
-App that allows you to schedule content for all major
social media websites
-Website has a lot of features that can be useful for social
media management
-Free to join
Cons
-Have to pay monthly in order to link more than one social
media account
-Can’t utilize all of the features on the app; must go under
browser to access certain features
My “wish list “ app
If I were somehow granted the ability to create a super PR
content creation machine, it would definitely have a few components. The first
component would be content sharing at ease, very similar to HootSuite in being able to schedule and post content. I would add a wider range of sharing capabilities with the ability to share ads across different platforms with hashtags and target audience specified keywords in each. The second component would be photo editing or the ability to purchase photo editing all through the app. The photo editing would include different fonts, backgrounds, logos, vectors, textures, and more to enable users to create appealing photos at their fingertips. The third component would be a social media component where users can share their work with other users and post classifieds for specific tasks or assignments they need fulfilled, either near them or virtually. I'd want my app to be a one stop shop for content creation to enable success and comfort. Convenience is totally in.
