Best way/tool to push blog posts to social media?

9 replies
Hey everyone,

I run a Blog that's growing quite nicely with traffic, though I am yet to utilize any sort of Social Media.

I upload 1-2 new blog posts each week, and they great engagement on the website just through people coming from Google and repeat visitors etc, but I really want to start some kind of Social Media strategy, by pushing each post I publish on wordpress to Fb, Twitter, and Pinteres (the blog is very image-orientated, and each post features 9 images which I'd like to go on Pinterest)

I'm happy to post manually, but I'm wondering if there is a suitable tool or resource that could automate this? Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Alex

    I use SNAP (Social Network Autoposter) on all of my Blogs. It has been a tried and tested Wordpress plugin that has worked for me over the last three years.

    I wrote a detailed article on the subject last year explaining its application and the content is still relevant if you are interested in it:

    I've been using Twitterfeed.com for years now and have not had any issues. Very simple to use but is limited to just Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

    I used to use SocialOomph since they allow you to post on more social media accounts, but their service is not longer free. They do offer a free trial for just 168 hours and then they charge $39 per month.

    SNAP is a good plugin that can help you in achieving what you are looking to perform you can also give IFTTT a try and see if those recipes serves you well or not.

  • Since you're alreayd using WordPress, just check out Jetpack. There's an autoshare feature already integrated with it.

    I think one of the obvious choices is Jetpack Publicize which is readily available with the plugin. You have control on which posts to share and where to post them as well. This can be great if you want to share a post on several social networks in a single click.

  • For me, NextScripts is a good to use social network auto-poster. It makes your post look like you really post it manually since it does not include a label that it came from NextScripts plus you can post to different accounts from a single platform.

    One other note to mention about the NextScripts SNAP plugin is that you really need to invest in the unlimited version so that you can add multiple account profiles for different networks (i.e. - multiple Facebook pages and groups).

    My sites using SNAP get a really strong engagement and the social signals created work well in the SERPS.

    Lastly, you can actually use the Posting function inside the WP dashboard and publish out an image, video or message without actually having to create a post or page, which is really great.

    I agree, NextScipts is a great tool to post on multiple accounts on social media and the social media is not only limited to Facebook and Twitter but it can be used on I think 18 or so social media networks. I think that is awesome for auto posting since you are not limited to the 'mainstream' social media networks.
