Are you tired of wrestling with your content calendar, juggling too many platforms, and wondering if “lifetime access” tools are worth it—or just a trap? In this episode of Be Awesome Together, Tyra and Charles roll into Part 3 of our “Apps & Software That Make Life Better” series. We dive deep into the social media management tools that actually work, which website builders are worth your time (and sanity), and some hidden gems like Wakelet, Obsidian, and e-ink devices for organization. We also talk about the real moment to invest in paid tools, how to make your content rhythm sustainable, and the secret sauce that keeps our Dragon Con Digital Media Track community thriving year-round.
If you want a mix of practical tips, tech shortcuts, and a little chaos-surfing—this one’s for you.
Pick tools that solve a specific problem now—don’t pay for features you “might” use later.
Batch & pre-schedule content using free tiers of tools like Buffer or Later to save time without breaking the bank.
Choose website builders based on your skill level: Weebly for ease, Wix for flexibility, WordPress if you can code.
Engage back on social media—comments, story replies, and reposts boost your visibility far more than passive posting.
Use central resources like Wakelet to organize links, show notes, or research into one shareable hub.
“Pick one or two major features that absolutely solve a problem for you—and let that be the reason you pay for the app. Everything else is just bonus.” ~Charles McFall
