In reply to Jonathan Jones. Thank you for stopping by. I have dabbled with the tool you mention but I should probably put more effort into it... Screaming Frog is great!

This is a pretty good list. Glad to see that Screaming Frog is in there as a lot of people’s favourite tool. It’s also my favourite. However, there’s another new tool called ‘Simple SERP scraper’ by Target Local. I’ve only used it moderately, but plan it use it more in the week. Just from a quick use of the tool it seems to be pretty damn good for prospecting websites in the SERPs.

Some incredible sources here! I agree with Hannah about Followerwonk, I’m a huge advocate of the tool. I definitely have some exploring to do with some of the recommendations that I was unaware even existed so huge thanks!

I’ve recently curated and shared some other useful (and completely free) content marketing tools if you fancy taking a look http://www.koozai.com/blog/search-marketing/free-tools-boost-content-marketing-planning-distribution/

Thanks again.

Thank you Anna! I’m glad that you have found it useful (and sorry for my late reply!) :).

Finance is by tradition a very dry industry – think grey suits and libraries. As such, I would look to stand out with your curation by drawing up a list of incredible blogs that sometimes discuss finance topics, and from there, taking the best finance based articles on these every month and highlighting them. I recommended publishing these on your brands or clients blog, and then @ tweeting each author who wrote the article. We do this and it’s really effective.

You may also look to highlight videos – a quick search on YouTube and Vimeo highlights some great personal finance and business finance tips from industry leaders.

Happy to chat more about this!

Hi Jakk – great round up, there’s lots of people I recognise here. Their advice is as valuable as the tools they have recommended!

If I could only use 3 content marketing tools for the rest of my life, they would be Box.com, DivvyHQ and Readlist… I am surprised Readlist didn’t get more love to be honest because it’s an excellent way to bring together content curation.

What are your thoughts on curation strategies for finance start ups? I read through your recent article on curation and whilst it’s a good read, it’s not specific… I suppose that’s the problem with mini guides / how-to’s… they’re a little generic. The reason I ask is because I’ve got a finance company that is launching a new software soon and I’d be delighted if you could offer me some advice (I’m no content marketer!).

Thanks,

Screamingfrog, Vocus and Followerwonk are great recommendations. Vocus is something I have been looking at for a while!

My top content marketing tools are a pen, paper, and a whiteboard. I find the best ideas come at a time when there’s no keyboard or touchpad around.

Uh-oh! I didn’t realise that, it has been a while…

Regardless, I have found some excellent tools for your article so I thank you for that.

I would be very interested in chatting to you more about content marketing too! I’ve added you on Skype :).
