WordPress is great because you can easily develop and upgrade the functionality of your blog without having to know how to code. All you have to do in order to change its design or expand its functionality is to install new themes and plugins.

ViralTag should be an essential social media app if you are using social media along with your blog to spread your message, and especially on media-rich platforms, such as Instagram or Pinterest. ViralTag enables you to manage accounts on multiple social media platforms, schedule an unlimited number of posts, recycle your existing content, communicate with other members of your social media team, and view how your posts are performing.

Although there are plenty of other apps which you can use to track analytics data on mobile, this one is by far the most powerful one.

However, with so many different stuff on your plate, it is very easy to lose track about which action is your priority, and even easier to forget about some of them.
