The social media industry is constantly changing. That’s why it’s crucial to stay up to date on all of the latest trends. Here are the sites I use to stay connected to what’s happening in the social media marketing world.

SmartBrief on Social Media

Looking for a recap of all of the social media news on the Internet? Look no further than SmartBrief on Social Media! They employ top editors in various industries who scour the news for you and pull top stories from sites such as AdAge and Forbes to curate the most important stories into one daily email. Now you can dig through the clutter online and stay up to date on all of the latest social media news, updates, and trends.

Google Alerts

Google alerts help you monitor the Web for interesting new content related to any topic you’re interested in. Simply enter keywords such as “social media marketing” and “create an alert” and Google will send you daily emails with content related to your keywords.

At Gossip Genie, Google alerts are also helpful for us to stay on top of any news coming out about our clients. I have alerts set up to let me know anytime my clients’ names appear on Google so that I can easily use those for content on social media.

theSkimm

While I breathe social media day in and day out for my job, I also like to stay connected with what’s happening around the world and theSkimm is a fun and easy way to do just that. It gives you the scoop on current events and breaking news in a daily e-mail newsletter that’s the perfect way to start your day. I “skim” over it while brushing my teeth in the morning! Now you can be well informed on everything from what’s going on in the Middle East to the latest crazy thing Donald Trump said.
