As a one person blogger, you may not have time to spend hours writing your article and then hours sharing to all your social media accounts. Or even if you run a multi-authored blog
like I do here with full time authored then if you can auto certain
aspect of running your blog with a personal touch it certainly helps.
So without further ado here are my recommendations to help you ease your workload.
You will hear and see these guys getting mentioned all over the web
and for good reasons too. After reading all the hype about buffer, I
decided to check it out for myself. I have been using it for about two
months now and so far really happy with it. What I like most of all is
the ability to queue post to publish and the ability to set each post to
share and different times throughout the week. Current I am using their
basic plan purely because it gets the job done and I have yet to have a
reason to upgrade. One thing I must say is that they only support up to
10 social account and 4 social network which are Twitter, Facebook,
Google+ and LinkedIn accounts.
Another
great option to consider is Dlvr.it which unlike Buffer offers a lot
more social networks for you to post too. The networks supported here
are Twitter, Facebook, Google+, StockTwits, Tumblr, StatusNet, App.net
and LinkedIn. I have had personal experience with this site being a
member for around 2 years. The only fault I had with this site is they
didn’t have the ability schedule which they have recently added.
Highlights for me is their stats page which gives you an
in-depth breakdown of thing like your reach, clicks, where you are
getting shares and so on.
I have recently discovered this amazing piece of web application
which I believe you should all use it’s free and can work in conjunction
with Hootsuite, Buffer and many others. The concept which is “if this then that” this
being the trigger of over 170+ channels to choose from such as
facebook, twitter etc… After selecting your trigger, then you can select
what event you want to happen. Here is an example of how I use it: If
This (new feed item from https://85ideas.com/feed/) Then That(create a
link post on facebook). Hopefully, you are able to see the sort of thing
you can use with this web app. Let me know how I did explain this site
in the comments below.
Onlywire would seem like the clear winner on the page as they share to over 50 social networks
but after using it for a few months I deactivated my account. The
reason I did this is because the post share seemed very spammy, as they
would share half the article in social networks that allows it like
Google+. Maybe it was me not playing around the setting more but this
really put me off as compared to the others I am used to.
This is an interesting solution if you not only want to promote your
new content but your old post then defiantly check this one out. Here at
85ideas we try to create articles that will not just be relevant today
but in years to comes. The reason I mentioned this is to help show the
value of promoting your old articles also. Like the others mentioned
above you can also schedule your post weeks ahead to save time. Another
cool feature is that you can easily add team members at no added cost.
Other you might what to check out which I have not personally tried yet are:
