If you are so someone who runs a business - your business needs to be on all of social media networks and sometimes could be tedious managing it alongside your personal account. As at now, you will need a third-party app if you would want to publish directly to any of the major social media networks. Everyone is keen on improving their social media empire whether for business or personal gain. You wouldn't want to be left behind as these social media platforms are growing each day.

Social media networks especially Instagram have been buzzing around these days. A platform widely believed for just teens and photographers.

As a result, you can find a lot of tools to support direct publishing to Instagram as well as other great tools to boost your audience.
