AppSumo rolled out the Netflix of business tools. What do we mean by this? It’s a subscription service to 20+ tools that help you create, scale, and grow your business!

Your first instinct is probably, “How much does this cost?” It’s only $49 dollars a month and you get access tools would normally be worth over $1,000 per month!

Since this deal looks too good to be true (but it really is real!), we decided to take a deeper look into some of the products available. More specifically, we looked at the tools for marketers and looked for "growth hacks" from each one.

1. PixelMe

We’re all familiar with how Facebook Pixels work and the power of retargeting ads to a group of people. However, it’s dependent on users landing on a specific page before anything can be tracked. What if there was a tool that could place a Pixel on every link you share? This is where PixelMe comes in.

PixelMe is a URL shortener that allows you to place retargeting pixels on Google, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn Ads. You have the ability to place one pixel or all four in the same link! From here, just use the retargeting options on the individual site and that's it!

Growth Hack: insert a pixel on every link you share. Retarget those users who click your links.

3. Social Insider

This next tool is exciting! What if we told you that you can take an inside look into your competitor’s digital strategy…

This is where Social Insider comes in. This tool helps your business understand what exactly your competitors are doing and how people engage with their marketing efforts. Pretty powerful, don’t you think?

To better understand this, lets take a look at an example. For our illustrative purposes, we’ll use Hubspot.

Right off the bat, we’re able to see in the specific time frame:

Account growth
Engagement per post
Number of engaged users
Best performing posts

facebook insight

Here’s what you’re seeing

Actual Facebook users/profiles and how many times they engaged in the given time frame.
Links to the actual post from Hubspot the user engaged with.
Ability to download the information to excel.

Similarly, you can get insight on Instagram profiles/users. Instead of us talking about the tool, Social Insider offers a free trial for 7 days. Go ahead and check it out yourself.

The tool by itself costs $59/mo. Kind of pricey right? Remember, it’s part of the Briefcase subscription!

Growth Hack: Get insight into your competitor's Facebook and Instagram strategy. Learn how they're succeeding on the platform and try to mimic for yourself.
