hi I'm Toby for blog to Social and I
welcome you to this short walkr of our
WordPress plugin blog to social is a
social media automation tool and allows
you to automatically share all your blog
posts to your connected social media
networks for that you have two general
options the first is our autop posting
feature uh once enabled you can share
your blog post on all your connected
networks depending on your chosen
network settings but more on that later
your second option however is customize
and scheduling feature just click on the
respective button and you are led to our
onstep
workflow that's an overview of all your
of all the functions you need to make
your post ready for the Social Web so
you can manage your connected networks
here customize your postings and specify
a scheduling
scheme however I'll show you each
function in turn so let's just start
with the network settings here on the
right side you can see all your
connected networks and you can select or
deselect each Network um with just a
simple click let I'm like I'm doing
right here um if you want to deselect U
all the accounts you don't need right
now just do so and you can for example
save your settings that's especially
helpful if you want to address for
example just your Twitter followers or
your fans on Insta and Pinterest only
and as you can see here we have a
special network settings for our uh
International Twitter account for blog
to social so we don't have to deselect
or select um the needed networks every
time we want to post something um we can
just um load in the specific settings
and you can add and you can add up to 15
different profiles Pages or groups per
Network just with a simple click on the
um add more button on the one page
workflow and you will be led to this
overview right here where you can add
several profiles pages and groups like I
said before you can add um Twitter
profiles Facebook profiles and Pages
Google+ profiles pages and groups
LinkedIn profiles pages sing profiles
pages and groups and for Tumblr medium
torial Instagram Pinterest flicker Diego
and delicious you can
add uh up to 15 different profiles and I
connected for example three times the
same Twitter account just to be more
flexible when I schedule a post or want
to share the same article but with a
different text which leads me direct to
the next function of blog to social our
customization feature you can customize
you can customize each and every post
for all your connected and selected
networks and block to social ensures
that your postings will be shown in the
right format for each Network that for
example your Instagram pics will be just
in the right scale and your Tumblr posts
adjusted to the network special settings
and however you should really make use
of this feature because not only each
network is different but each Community
reacts different to special kind of
posts on Twitter for example hashtags
and handles drastically increase your
engagement rate and your Outreach so you
should make sure to include at least one
hashtag in each of your postings uh like
here for example I add um hashtag social
media and the same applies for hashtags
on Instagram and Pinterest and whereas
for example short postings work best on
Facebook technical topings technical
topics with more detailed posts work
best on Google+ just to name a few
examples however now that we are done
with customizing all blog posts you can
either share your postings immediately
just with a click on the share button to
all your connected networks or you can
set a specific scheduling scheme you can
either publish right now on a one time
or on a recurring scheduling scheme up
to 52 weeks in advance and you can also
apply your time settings for all your
connected networks and you can save your
adjustments we for example we have a um
a set scheme for our Twitter postings
because we analyzed our community and
looked into the most active times when
are most of our followers online and so
on and so on and save the respective
times so every time we want to publish a
post we can just click on my time
settings and block to social retrieves
are previously saved schedule so we
don't have to
um uh so we don't have to reselect it
every time we want to post something and
I can just recommend the same um to you
if you uh individually schedule your
postings you should definitely make
yourself familiar with your community's
preferred online times this way you just
ensure a maximum of Engagement and
Outreach or simply put you just make
sure that your tweets and posts will be
seen on the respective networks that
takes a lot of effort I know but the
outcome is definitely worth your time
and if you don't have that time right
now or you just want to get an idea of
the best times to post uh you can also
use the block to social best
timeular for that we analyzed hundreds
of profiles for the best time times to
post on all um available networks and
with the best time schedule of blog to
social provides you with the results of
that analysis so that your postings will
be shared at the right times on each
Network whereby we are at the last but
not least feature of blog to social just
choose the blog to social icon on your
WordPress dashboard and choose the post
and sharing option here you have an
overview of all your already shared
postings your planned but not yet
published posst posts and your drafts
also and you can either arrange them by
author by category and tag post type or
status and you can also republish your
older posts just click on share postings
and here you have uh the reshare this
post option for example if you want to
republish one of your older and golden
blog posts on Twitter or to the
republishing networks medium Tumblr and
Toral and if you want to keep track of
