1. Hubspot: marketing automation

HubSpot is a platform that brings together every possible marketing and distribution tactic you need in order to attract and convert leads on your website.

This is often referred to as inbound marketing. Rather than push unwanted traditional marketing messages to an unsuspecting audience through outbound methods (– i.e. direct mail, print and TV advertisements, cold calling, etc.) inbound strategies focus on attracting the right type of prospects to you.  Inbound marketing tools and tactics include:

• Running a blog
• Social media
• SEO
• Landingpages

2. Buffer: social media

• It lets you schedule posts for four of the most popular social networks.

Summarized, Buffer is a social posting scheduler for several social media networks. It includes Facebook (profiles and pages), Twitter, LinkedIn (profiles and pages), Google+ and Pinterest.

• It gives you total management over your posting schedule without having to schedule every single post separately.

Rather than requiring you to select and set a specific time for a post to go out every single time you want to schedule one, Buffer gives you a bunch of default time slots. These slots make sure you post on the most active times on social media. You can also spread your posts whenever you add them to your Buffer. Of course, you can add and customize any of the time slots in your schedule you see fit.

The second case could be a computer running the software package WordPress.org. Specifically, a local computer may be used for single-user testing and learning purposes. Features include a plugin architecture and a template system. In fact, more than 27.5% of the top 10 million websites WordPress has been using WordPress as of February 2017.
