Posting to Social Media: How to Save Time (and Money)
Tips for Saving Time & Money on Social Media
Are you still trying to do all the updates manually? Are you still waiting for the right time to publish your Social Media posts? Do you really believe you need to do everything separately for each social platform, even if you have more than three, four or five accounts? Congratulations — this is the right web address for you. Yes, we are here, and we will tell you how to save your time and your money.
We tell our clients (and potential clients too) that it’s very important to ensure your brand is consistent across all platforms (How To Represent Your Business on Google). But we are not suggesting you waste time worrying. Let us tell you how to save time — and money.
Basics
If this topic interests you, you must have your own blog on your website. We recommend you use the WordPress platform. It’s easy to manage and works like constructor, you can add or remove pages from your website in one click. But did you know that you can also schedule your publications there?
It’s really easy to do. On the ‘Add new’ page in Posts (Admin Section), at the top right of your screen, you can see title ‘Publish immediately’. Click on the ‘Edit’ button and, voilà, your blog post will be scheduled! It will appear on the website at the time and date you’ve chosen.
Average Level
Time is money, and we appreciate our clients’ time and trust. To put publications on all your Social Media platforms in one click is not much harder than scheduling your blog posts. Try to use one magic tool for this – SNAP (Social Networks Auto-Poster). You can read more about it here: https://www.nextscripts.com/ This is an unbelievable tool for every website owner!
How it works: when you publish your post, SNAP automatically reposts to your other social platforms. Only you choose where to post, only you choose what to post, but now you can post more than 10 social platforms in one click! Do you want to try? Sure you do. Do you have a problem with settings? Contact Alex at I Need Website today to know how we can optimize your website!
Professional advice: if you want to show more than the link to your post, put this code on the SNAP fields:
%TITLE%
%EXCERPT%
%URL%
As a result, your Social Media post will include a title, short description and image from the blog post.
Almost Professional
Do you have an online shop? Then you know how hard is to add the right product description, photo and video content — 15 to 30 minutes per product? How long do you take? We found a great solution for one of our clients: ‘Pinterest Automatic pin’ WordPress plugin. Because you already know that ‘Pinterest drives more traffic than Google+, YouTube and Linked combined’. This plugin allows you to synchronize images and, most importantly, products from WooCommerce with Pinterest.
