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.
Looking for a recap of all of the social media news on the Internet? Look no further than SmartBrief on Social Media!

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 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.
