đź“« What tools automate social posting?
by•
We’re trying to expand our social media activity and be present on more platforms.
But honestly, preparing and posting the same content across different platforms eats a lot of time.
I want to keep our voice and our content, without spending hours manually editing and publishing everywhere.
So, makers and marketers:
What tools do you use or recommend for convenient content scheduling across multiple social platforms?
Looking for something that helps with distribution, without taking away the human voice behind the content.

i usually batch my posts for the weeks but editing each one for different platforms still takes quite a less for time.

@_adekemi_a Yes, it feels like wasted time for nothing =/
We run about 10 image/video posts a day per platform. same content across 5 platforms, x, threads, instagram, linkedin, reddit. all from one source, no manual re editing.
alongside that, around 200 comments a day on relevant posts. just to bring people to the profile.
Every account started at 0 followers, 0 posts. scout7 handles all of it. nobody's posting manually.
ps: these numbers are from just one account. we're running a few in parallel rn.
We launch on ph on the 18th. but we're open to early users now, mainly for feedback to make it serve better.

@niveditha_patluri1 Wow, thanks a lot! It seems like a really good one. I’ll give it a try - I guess it’s something we’re looking for.
I’ve had good experiences with Buffer for keeping multi-platform scheduling simple. Typefully is also worth looking at if most of your content is founder-led and text-heavy.
The bigger thing for me is not fully automating the content itself. I’d rather automate distribution, then tweak the caption/format for each platform so it still feels native. Otherwise you end up sounding like a scheduling tool wrote your posts.

@faysal_fateh Yes, exactly. I’m thinking, for example, about a post that needs to be adapted for 4-5 different platforms to fit each platform’s community style. That’s where the problem is.
Buffer is a popular one.
I've noticed social media platforms are beginning to build scheduling tools into themselves, too, so you can schedule Linkedin posts and Instagram ones within the platforms themselves.

@peter_jenkins1 I hadn’t heard of Buffer before, but this is the second comment mentioning it. I’ll definitely check it out. Thanks!

Typefully is probably the easiest one for me. Super simple to schedule and manage content there. And it’s really affordable too.
I used to be a big Tweet Hunter fan. Their inspiration library was awesome, but lately they haven’t been updating it nearly as often as I’d like. And by “often,” I mean daily. Now it feels more like once every few weeks (2 or 3 weeks).

@byalexai I’ll try Typefully. And for me, since I didn’t know about Tweet Hunter at all, it’s still interesting to explore - even if you mentioned, it’s not being updated as frequently anymore =)
