Social Media Tools to Automate Your Posts (And They're Free!)

[@WezMwangi]

As someone who was getting tired of doing manual posts but still didn't want to hand over the reigns of my social media pages to others, I am so grateful that you made this video!!! Your information was clear and concise - and that made me trawl through your other videos as well. You have a new, very engaged follower! Thank you!

[@AngieGensler]

That's so wonderful to hear! I'm so thrilled you found this video helpful and you're enjoying my other videos as well. Thank you for your kind comment and for subscribing.

@@AngieGensler Is there a sales platorm equivalent for ebay amazon etc?

[@HistifyMedia]

I've created a bot that is capable of posting on dozens of social websites, and soon it will be able to post on hundreds. I’m almost done with the mainstream ones. I’m short of some medium-traffic websites. If anyone can provide them, I’m very grateful. When my entire system is completed, I can give you a big discount.

[@thirstywarrior9298]

Ang, See if I got this right. Zaps/applets are posted to the respective media at time of original post. If I want to distribute chunks of my original videos to multiple medias and schedule 1 to 2 months in advance Then I need a HootSuite or the like?

[@AngieGensler]

Hello! Yes, to schedule things months in advance I recommend a tool like HootSuite, Buffer, or SocialBee.

[@IMJusticeMarketingVideos]

Angie, what would be your best answer to send what you post to your LI and FB Groups?

[@AngieGensler]

Hi Dave! I would recommend using a free trial of Buffer or HootSuite to automate your posts to LI and a FB group.

[@IMJusticeMarketingVideos]

@@AngieGensler and after the trial? And one more thing AG ... I know it doesn't pay you to answer me, but I have a curious question, that is typically never discussed or revealed ... In the beginning, when you were just getting started, what was it like for you? How slow or fast did you get business? Did you start part time as you had a job? Did you just wing it because you had a bank buffer to pay bills? Did you focus first on maybe 1 or 2 things only to start earning? I never hear anyone really connect in that regard, to any and all, and quite frankly, most ... 😊 ...

[@AngieGensler]

@@IMJusticeMarketingVideos both Hootsuite and buffer should still have a minimal free plan that doesn't expire after a trial. Regarding your questions...this video might help. I talk about my journey in detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIDVY2uQl7iUfcU I worked a full-time job my first 20 months of building my business and didn't start making money until 2 years in.

[@iiaa4064]

Is it possible to post what I posted on facebook to the timeline of line? I checked automation tools such as ifttt and zapier, but it seems that I can not do it

[@AngieGensler]

I'm sorry, I'm not sure if that's possible. If you weren't able to find the ability to do it IFTTT or Zapier I have a feeling it's not possible. You could always try to build your own applet in IFTTT, but that takes a lot of technical ability.

Is there any limitation on the number of times I can zap or use applet psr week or month?

[@AngieGensler]

As far as I'm aware there are no limits to the number of times a zap or applet can fire. There is a limit to the number of zaps you can create with a free account, but that's the only limit I'm aware of.

Can Craigslists be used in this method ?

Hi Angie - this was extremely helpful. I think your point about focus is so important. I found you on FB too. I was curious about how Instagram can be used for a tech business since it seems for people who go places, travel or take lots of personal photos.

[@AngieGensler]

Hi Paul! I'm so glad you found this video helpful. If you're a B2B tech business I would recommend not worrying about Instagram at all and focus on LinkedIn. If you're B2C, then you can use Instagram, but your feed will look a little different from most influencers. That's perfectly fine.

[@AngieGensler]

Hi Toni! I don't have any updates regarding this specific video. Manually posting your content on FB and IG has and will always get you the best results, but as a busy business owner you need to balance the trade off between your time and the tiny benefit you get with the algorithm by not using posting tools.

[@nightowlgaming8084]

You should fade the music out faster or raise your voice audio in the beginning. your voice is way too soft and disappears in the audio track. Then you take 5 minutes to get to the content described in the title of the video. That's 5 mins of self-promotion before you start with the content. I skipped forward, because after 2 mins, of listening to self-promotion, I just started skipping through and searching for the content. Right there you lost me as a potential subscriber.
