There are thousands of apps that claim to make your job easier. Since it is impossible to try t\"\"<\/a>hem all, we\u2019ve narrowed down the options for you! These seven apps complement the social media, communication, and content creation features on Yardi’s RentCafe suite<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Social Media<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instagram is one of the fastest growing social media platforms in the US. Once you get the basics of creating a post, these apps can take your social media strategy to the next level.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. When users visit your Instagram profile, they can see multiple posts at once in a grid layout. Polish your profile with Planoly<\/a><\/u>, <\/strong>a visual planner that allows you to create the most beautiful and impactful grid. You can also benefit from the app\u2019s engagement data for each post.<\/li>\n
  2. Instagram Stories is woefully awkward. Creating informative and engaging 15-second clips on your smartphone requires a lot of choppy starting and stopping. Fortunately, CutStory for Instagram<\/a> does the work for you. Create a single, full-length video and CutStory will divide it up for you. This is a great tool for repurposing your YouTube and Facebook videos.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Communication<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Video calls are an excellent way to conduct personalized property tours and meetings with remote clients. Google Duo<\/a> is a versatile app for video calls that works for Android and iOS devices. You can even use it over WiFi, minimizing data usage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Content Creation<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Create professional-looking images with Afterlight 2.<\/a> This free photo editing app features text, filters, and enhancement tools for eye-catching images. It offers comparable quality to subscription apps and can be used on iOs, Android, and Windows devices.<\/li>\n
      2. As a blogger, I know how difficult it is to get people to stop and read! Infographics are a hot way to share information in easy-to-consume snippets, enhanced with fun images. Canva<\/a> delivers the power of infographics into the hands of novices. Create infographics, logos, and more without the help of a graphic designer.<\/li>\n
      3. Video is king<\/a> of social media. But if your video relies on sound, you\u2019re at a disadvantage. On Facebook alone, 85 percent of videos are played on mute. Apple Clips<\/a> is a video editing app for iOS devices that allows you to create short videos with a ton of fun special effects. While some features scream tween-users, others are downright priceless. Check out Live Titles, which allows you to use your voice to create captions for your video.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Bonus\u2014Just for You<\/strong><\/p>\n

        The holidays are upon us! The end of the year means managing year-end reports, difficult-to-fill vacancies, crazy vacation schedules, corporate holiday parties, and the list continues. Calm<\/a> is an app that guides beginners through meditation and breathing exercises. It\u2019s quick, effective, and will help you stay chill and focused through the end of 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
