RebelMouse is a revolutionary tool that should be included in your social media arsenal. It provides you with the ability to curate and collect all of your social media content in one place, create new content, distribute that content in newsletter form and optimize content to support marketing campaigns.
Connecting the platform to your Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, Tumblr and Instagramaccounts allows you to create one stand alone page of your entire online presence. You can also embedded that page on your blog or company site.
Here are some of the reasons I fell in love with RebelMouse and you should too.
Impressive Blog and Website Integration
RebelMouse has a Wordpress plugin that allows you to either use your social feed as the front page of your blog or as a social page where your visitors can find all of your incarnations across the social media universe.
I’ve done the latter on my Adventures in Queensland blog, while Ben Parr and Casie Stewarthave done the former with some really handsome results.
If you don’t have a blog but you’re already all on social media, RebelMouse is an easy way to start one. It allows you to create original posts and mix it in with the content you’ve posted onGoogle+, Twitter, Facebook and so on.
With the ability to re-position posts from anywhere on the page to the top and add posts from links, video, photos and/or text, RebelMouse can be quite a versatile blogging platform.
Businesses like Lerer Ventures have integrated it on their company site where they use it to showoff press they’ve received, job postings and updates on their social media networks.
Amazing Marketing Campaign Capabilities
All hail the mighty hashtag! Never in its more than 100 year history has the “#” symbol been so important to marketers. This little magical intersection of four lines can, among other things, expand the reach of your campaign, help with market targeting, put your brand in the face of more people, make it easier for audiences to find your content and improve your SEO.
If you’re a marketer don’t ignore them. The majority, if not all, of the major social media sites support some form of hashtag search. If you’ve not created a hashtag for your most recent campaign go ahead and do it now. (Don’t worry I’ll wait.)
With RebelMouse you can create pages for specific topics and content within your site. You can populate the pages with tags you’ve been using from @mentions, hashtags, and tags you manually add to posts.
Applying filters in your Content Sources section will allow public posts with that hashtag to populate your site. You can vet the content by having the items go into you draft folder first for approval. As of this writing RebelMouse allows you to do this with Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
With this feature you can showcase buzz about your company and more. RebelMouse can become a hub for your newest campaign by collecting and displaying all of the content with the hashtag from your campaign in one place .
You can have this embedded directly on your site or create a separate destination to highlight community submissions.
Nonprofits or social activist groups can use it as a curation tool to collect content from everywhere and make your page the focal point for one event or issue.
Automatic Twitter Shout Outs
RebelMouse makes it easier to reach out to people and ramp up your engagement with a feature that permits you to send automatic shout outs to the folks you interact with on Twitter.
Each time you “favorite” or “RT” a Tweet you’re able to automatically send a “@mention” or “DM” inviting the poster to check out their Tweet on your site.
This opens you up to the possibility of receiving more follows on Twitter, having more interaction with your site and a chance to increase your audience and online community.
Automatic Newsletter Creation
This is possibly one of my favorite things about RebelMouse. If you don’t have the time, energy, interest or resources to create a newsletter no worries, the Rebel has your answer.
Every RebelMouse account comes with an automatic daily newsletter which compiles all of your social media updates in one place each day. It is simply the easiest way to have what amounts to a daily newsletter.
There will be a “Get Alerts” option on your site that will allow followers to sign up to receive these updates.
Premium subscribers to RebelMouse can customize their newsletter design or even integrate it with their MailChimp account.
Conclusion
The versatility and possibilities provided by RebelMouse are many and you literally could spend days thinking of how it can benefit you. Spend some time with your account, on thecompany’s blog and subscribe to their newsletter to discover the ways you can use this wonderful tool to your advantage.
