10 WAYS TO AUTOMATE YOUR
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS
For More Buzz and Visibility

• 1,000 million English speakers (375 million speaking English as a first
language)
• 1.71 billion active monthly Facebook users all over the globe
• 540 million Google+ users
• 500 million Instagram users
• 450 million LinkedIn users
• 313 million Twitter users
• 72.5 million Pinterest users
It’s not the number of users that matters, however: It’s the breakdowns that
determine whether or not a particular social network is your perfect strategy.
Social automation alone is not some magical catch-all solution. You need to use
it wisely as part of your lead generation and reputation-building strategy—not
as a substitute for it.
You need to use it as part of a plan.
Start out by calculating where the highest active concentration of your target
market likes to congregate. You can do this by browsing stats via Google.
Add strategies such as going to the Insights or Stats reports provided by the
social media sites on which you have a presence and find out the most active
time for your particular group of followers and friends.
You may find they either corroborate the general stats … or you may find that
with your particular audience, the optimal time frame is completely different!
You’ll also find most native social analytics will give you stats about countries
from which your visitors click through; how many clicks a particular post got;
whether or not the visitor was on a mobile; and many more useful details.
Don’t just look at stats, however: Keep a journal or make an MS Excel or MS
Word spreadsheet and note down different trends and patterns.
DO…
• Decide how much time you can commit daily to social media and take action
• Respond to comments, questions and acknowledgements as soon as you can
• Check posts you make within half an hour for any responses, after posting
• Look for automation options that allow you input and customization
DON’T
• Automate ALL your social media, ALL the time … OR …
• Make automated posts that sound commercial and spammy
STEP ONE: USE A BROWSER NEWS
AGGREGATOR TO AUTOMATE FEED DELIVERY
Making powerful use of social media
means READING social posts, as well
as making them.
Use a Browser News Aggregator to Automate Feed Delivery
It means keeping up with the official blogs for your top platform, as well as any
authority blog you want to follow. And the easiest and most efficient way to do
this, rather than visiting site after site, is to install a browser news aggregator.
An RSS aggregator allows you to bookmark articles for later, find feeds you
need quickly, and even email feeds—all in a fracture of the time you might
normally do this.
Use a Browser News Aggregator to Automate Feed Delivery
• Keep you focused
• In reducing stress from overwhelm
• Eliminate distractions
• Save time
• Follow top influencers easily
• Be consistent in your daily social media habits
• Keep on top of the latest trends, news and developments in:
• Social media
• Influencers, peers and competitors you follow
• Your niche
Use a Browser News Aggregator to Automate Feed Delivery
The easiest way to install an RSS aggregator? Go to the Google Chrome web
store and install Feedly.
Use a Browser News Aggregator to Automate Feed Delivery
• Blogs
• Collections
• Keyword alerts
• Favorite online magazines
• YouTube channels
Use a Browser News Aggregator to Automate Feed Delivery
Click on the green “Get Started for Free” button. Your login network of choice
will ask to view your email address and basic profile info for that network. Grant
permission.

In the left-hand sidebar, you will see “My Feedly”. You can then go through
categories to select feeds—or you can add your favorite blogs by pasting the
URL in directly.
Use a Browser News Aggregator to Automate Feed Delivery
If you’re looking at an interesting article, and you want to table it to read later, or
add a blog—just look for the little RSS icon in the bottom right corner of that
blog page.
Click on the little green or grey diamond … and a popup menu will, well, pop
up.
Use a Browser News Aggregator to Automate Feed Delivery
You can also subscribe to a blog or website feed by clicking on the little
reverse-WiFi icon in the top right of their header or above their menu bar.
STEP TWO: USE BUZZSTREAM TO RESEARCH
AND REACH INFLUENCERS AND CONNECT
Use BuzzStream to Research and Reach Influencers and Connect
Instead of generating keywords, it mines social sites and blogs to find
opportunities to guest post, connect, get quotes from influencers, etc.) The
value is huge for those who rely on social networking for promotion and lead
generation.
Use BuzzStream to Research and Reach Influencers and Connect
• Conduct contact and campaign management
• Track emails
• Explore contact discovery information
• Help yourself to publisher and influencer metrics
• Track your conversations on twitter
• Send reminders
You can see all your data at a glance from your dashboard. It’s like really good
Insights on steroids.
Use BuzzStream to Research and Reach Influencers and Connect
It helps you automate and speed up the workings of your social networking and
maintain contact with influencers without losing a personalized, real-world
connection.
What it does is give you the power—no matter how invisible you’ve been up till
now—to create real buzz.
Use BuzzStream to Research and Reach Influencers and Connect
BuzzStream automates data use and data retrieval, without automating your
interaction.
STEP THREE: USE WORDPRESS PLUGINS TO AUTOMATE
YOUR SOCIAL MEDIAACTIONS AND CONTENT
Use WordPress Plugins to Automate Your Social Media Actions and
Content
• Creating customized “Share” and “Follow” buttons
• Sharing specific pages
• Displaying selected social streams
• Displaying videos or portfolios
Use WordPress Plugins to Automate Your Social Media Actions and
Content
The Onlywire bookmark and share button plugin - an automation plugin that
allows you to submit content to mainstream social networks such as Facebook,
Twitter, Google+ and many others.
Use WordPress Plugins to Automate Your Social Media Actions and
Content
Another different type of plugin you’ll find in the WordPress plugins directory is
Social Media Gallery, which allows you to display your visual streams on your
website.
STEP FOUR: USE WIDGETS TO SPEED UP SOCIAL
SHARING AND CREATE EMBEDDED SOCIAL CONTENT
Use Widgets to Speed Up Social Sharing and Create Embedded Social
Content
Use Widgets to Speed Up Social Sharing and Create Embedded Social
Content
You can also install all sorts of other widgets like booking forms, calendars, time
zone converters—but widgets excel at helping you share your best streams of
social interaction.
Here’s how author, Kevin Hearne, embeds his Twitter feeds, which are all
focused on promoting his wildly popular, best-selling Iron Druid chronicles:
Use Widgets to Speed Up Social Sharing and Create Embedded Social
Content
Terry Madden, author of best-selling fantasy, Three Wells of the Sea, has
installed a Goodreads widget to showcase her best Goodreads reviews in her
right-hand sidebar.
Use Widgets to Speed Up Social Sharing and Create Embedded Social
Content
Most of your top social networks and content platforms allow you to install their
widgets: After all, it’s good publicity for them too!
Look in the Help or Support areas, or search using the parameters [social
network name] [widget]
Widgets add an interactive layer to your website—essential in today’s internet
climate—as well as highlighting your most valuable assets such as testimonials,
reviews or social sharing.
STEP FIVE: THINK SEASONALLY!
Think Seasonally!
Strategy is a big part of successful social planning—and a powerful way to
increase your audience.
In addition to planning for product, program or book launches, when you plan
your campaigns for the upcoming year, think seasonally.
No matter what type of coaching business you run, 

holidays are a great opportunity for not only creating 

extra seasonal content and lead generators, but 

auto-promoting them.
Think Seasonally!
Also consider using seasonal profile photos and cover photos for your social
networks. Here’s one of writing coach Alice Seba‘s Facebook profile shots and
cover photos.
Think Seasonally!
You can also run seasonal-themed events. For example, here’s the Facebook
Cover photo for social-media-savvy Author’s Coach and publicist Maxine
Groves’ Big Halloween Giveaway, which ended up being one of the hottest live
events of the year—all done via her Facebook stream.
STEP SIX: OUTSOURCE YOUR SOCIAL
SHARING
Social media engagement is one of the
most important ways to grow your
reputation and your reach.
Outsource Your Social Sharing
A good first step is to let someone else do the outsourcing for you—for
example, CoachGlue.com. CoachGlue offers social media packages
outsourced to professional, knowledgeable writers that you can buy and
customize for your own social purposes.
Outsource Your Social Sharing
• Creating a Twitter background
• A professional photo shoot for your profiles
• Setting up and maximizing your Facebook Page
• Researching your social audiences
• Custom-programming an App or a custom FBML tab for your Facebook page
In short, outsource tasks; not actual interaction!
Leverage the specialized expertise of others to boost your social authority,
visibility and impact.
STEP SEVEN: MAXIMIZE YOUR FACEBOOK
ENGAGEMENT WITH POSTPLANNER
Maximize Your Facebook Engagement with PostPlanner
“A Facebook page management tool that helps automate the sharing of content
to your Facebook page. There is a content discovery engine which allows you
to discover the most popular content in your industry and then you can add it to
a queue for later delivery.”
PostPlanner operates on a queue system, automatically posting based on pre-
configured times.
It is also a highly versatile social media engagement app, allowing you to
expertly find and curate content targeted to your ideal follower.
STEP EIGHT: UPDATE YOUR SOCIAL
SHARING BUTTONS!
Update Your Social Sharing Buttons!
AddThis is a media-tracking company that offers a social bookmarking service
that can be integrated into websites. They provide a variety of tools and
analytics, all for the purpose of boosting the power of your social sharing.
• Customize and brand
• Reposition, resize and colorize
• Not just share, but follow and 

related post buttons too
• Add individual buttons
STEP NINE: USE MOBILE SOCIAL APPS
Use Mobile Social Apps
Buffer allows you to schedule posts for Twitter and Instagram right from your
mobile.
STEP TEN: DON’T TAKE YOUR
AUTORESPONDER FOR GRANTED!
Don’t Take Your Autoresponder for Granted!
Don’t forget your autoresponder—your best automation/engagement tool yet!
Keep on top of new features—such as GetResponse’s updated Landing Page
templates (made even easier); and MailChimp’s powerful Social Pro feature.
Do keep in mind that, for maximum effectiveness, you need to create a social
media plan first—and make sure you select only apps, tools and strategies that
make your plan work even more easily and powerfully.
Automating your social media posts should be a supportive strategy—not your
sole social strategy. When it comes to relationship building, nothing beats being
there and having a real conversation!
