How to Cross-Post Updates to Social Media Digital Inspiration has an active presence across all social media websites

The Digital Inspiration has an active presence across all the social media websites – as soon as a new article is published on the site, updates are sent to all the different social media channels.

The social media has partly automated and partly manual for some sites like Pinterest and Google+ they do not allow automated posting. we are not using services like dlvr.it that monitor RSS feeds and cross-post updates almost immediately to Twitter and Facebook channels. The reason for social updates tend to perform better than ones containing only post titles are picked from the RSS feed.


If we connect the Twitter account, Facebook Page, LinkedIn Page and the Google+ page to Buffer. When we are ready to share an article,we can simply open the Buffer add-on, write a message and we can share the article directly.

We c ann also keep the images with the social update and Buffer makes that easy. While you are on a page, however your mouse over any image on that page little Buffer icon appears. When you click that icon, the actual image is included in the update along with a link to the page. Here have some tweets posted through Buffer that contain images and also links.

You can able to post only a limited number of social channels through the free version of Buffer but through workaround, you can install a couple of IFTTT recipes that will further propagate the Buffer updates to other non-supported channels.

If we have created recipes that will send updates posted on Buffer automatically to the Tumblr  and my LinkedIn profiles. we have another IFTTT recipe that takes the first picture from my RSS feed and uploads it to Flickr while adding the post excerpt in the picture description. here the screenshot image posted on Flickr through IFTTT. This will improve the visibility of stuff in Google Images and other visual search engines.

I have configured large summary card For Twitter, so large image from the post is automatically shown when someone expands the tweet on the Twitter website. This tends to perform regular summary cards where a small cropped image is shown inside the tweet.

Finally manually we can share the links on Google+ since they do not allow automated posting on Google+ Profiles. As Buffer is already published the update on the Google+ Page, just we can use the share option to post that same update on my G+ profile – this will save the time and also exposes the site Google+ Page to my Google+ followers.
