Social media marketers have a plethora of productivity apps and platforms in their tool boxes. But figuring out how to best utilize various softwares and workflows can be challenging. This week at #SproutChat, we were joined by Lolitta Gevorkova, Social Media Specialist at Evernote. We discussed how social media marketers can get the most out of their business day, business goals and tips and tricks for increasing productivity.
Managing Your Content Calendar
Managing a content calendar is no easy task, especially when multiple teams are involved in the creation and curation of content. Lolita provided tips for using Evernote to manage your content calendars and our community chimed in with their own processes.

Get the Most out of Your Software
The best features within a software are often “hidden.” These lesser known capabilities provide marketers with the “a-ha” moment that changes the way they look at a tool and increases daily usage. Lolita shared her favorite Evernote “hidden” features and the rest of the community offered their own software must-haves.
