Browsing the web can be one great way to find new ideas and leads for content creation and marketing. Social media in particular has become a primary venue through which to promote content in recent years, but the average person using social media for content marketing doesn’t know how to utilize it to its full potential. Browser add-ons and extensions have made it possible to learn more and do more on social media; with Google Chrome now being a very popular browser choice, its extension library is bigger than ever. Today, we’ll talk about four important social media extensions for Chrome that content marketers and creators can use to get the most of their experience.

DrumUp

The task of finding new content from other sources that can be shared on social media can take precious time away from your busy day. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could instantly find recommendations based on what you’re currently browsing? With the DrumUp extension, you’ll be pinging links on social media in no time. Simply click the extension button and you’ll be given a list of similar stories and content pieces that relate to the current article or topic you’re browsing.

Nimbus

Many content creators on social media find tutorials and how-tos to be the best form of content for shares, likes and engagements. With these how-tos comes the need to create clear and concise walkthroughs on how to do things. The Nimbus extension for Chrome makes it easy to quickly take screenshots and handle them in an efficient manner. You can instantly crop portions of the page or screen out of the saved file, add different backgrounds and watermarks, and even record video screenshots.

OneTab

Content creation can be stressful on both you and your computer. The need to have many different tabs open at once creates strain on the memory and resources of the computer, and also makes for an unorganized mess. Thanks to the OneTab extension for Google Chrome, you won’t have to worry about this anymore. You can take all of your opened tabs and consolidate them into an easy-to-use list. From here, you can access any previous tab with the click of a button, reduce memory and resource use by more than 90%, and recover previous work even after the browser has been closed.

Giphy

Looking for an easy way in which to express yourself in social media posts? There are many different formats and content types for doing this, but the art of the GIF is a succinct way in which to quickly make a point. With the Giphy extension for Chrome browsers, you’ll be able to do just that in no time at all. Simply open up the extension, search for your favourite GIFs by emotion, keyword or other criteria, and then drop the GIF into your Facebook post or tweet. If you’re undecided about what you’d like to share, then consider looking at the “Popular GIFs” section for more inspirational ideas and late-breaking trends.
