Social Media Automation for Blogs

How to Automatically Share Your WordPress Blog Posts on Social Media

Do you spend more time sharing your blog posts than actually writing them? You’re not alone. For many bloggers and small teams, social media quickly turns into a time-consuming task — even though it’s essential for building reach and driving traffic to the blog. This is where social media automation can make a real difference.

What Are the Benefits of Social Media Automation for Bloggers?

If you blog regularly, you know that writing is only part of the job. To be found and read, your content needs to be actively shared — and that takes time and effort. With the right solution, however, your entire social media workflow can be simplified: automation tools make it possible to automatically share your blog content on social media. This not only makes your workflow more comfortable, but also offers strategic advantages:

Save time on blogging tasks – Your social media work is done in just a few minutes, giving you more time to focus on growing your blog.

Cross-post across all platforms – With an automation tool, you can manage all your accounts at once and ensure a consistent presence across multiple platforms.

Boost your blog’s reach – The tool handles the posting for you. Regular, consistent publishing helps increase your reach.

Plan ahead and repurpose content – Tailor posts to each platform, schedule them in advance, and repost when needed – without having to upload each one manually.

Many Bloggers Don’t Use the Connection Between WordPress and Social Media Effectively

The most common scenario: the blog post is done – now what? Simply publishing it isn’t usually enough to attract readers. Only through targeted distribution via social media does a blog post become visible and relevant content online.

Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, and more – each platform has its own requirements for format, text, and timing. Manually posting to all of them can quickly become a major time drain.

That’s why many bloggers only post occasionally or limit themselves to one or two platforms. Others look for tools but end up facing complicated or expensive solutions not realizing how easily WordPress can be connected with social media.

Automatically Share Blog Content on Social Media – with a WordPress Plugin

Is your blog powered by WordPress? Then automate your social media posts with Blog2Social!

Blog2Social is a social media WordPress plugin designed for bloggers. It lets you easily create social media posts from your blog articles in just a few minutes and automatically publish them to your social channels – directly from WordPress, without any external tools or complicated steps in between.

How Blog2Social Works

Connect Your Blog to Social Media with Blog2Social

Once installed, you’ll find a new “Blog2Social” tab in your WordPress menu. Under the “Networks” section in Blog2Social, you can connect your social media accounts directly within WordPress – including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, Mastodon, and many more.

Blog2Social supports both personal profiles and business accounts, as well as pages and groups depending on the platform.

Prepare Blog Posts for Social Media

Create your blog post as usual in the WordPress editor. You can publish it right away or schedule it for a later date.

Under “All Posts,” you’ll see a list of all your blog articles. Blog2Social automatically detects every new or updated post. To prepare and automatically share your content on social media, simply click “Share on Social Media” for the post you want.

Customize Social Media Posts for Each Channel

In a central editing dashboard, you can tailor your blog posts individually for each platform:

• Edit text (e.g., hashtags, emojis, tone of voice, @mentions) or generate captions with the integrated AI assistant
  
• Select or replace images
  
• Add links
  
• Post immediately, schedule for later, publish at optimal times, or set up regular automatic reposting

This way, a single blog post becomes customized content for all your social networks – with no copy-paste or manual uploads needed.

Of course, with Blog2Social you can also create standalone social media posts without needing a blog article – for example, for announcements, reminders, affiliate links, community campaigns, or social-media-only content.

Organize blogging efficiently – Social Media Automation for Teams

If you’re not blogging solo but working in a duo, editorial team, or with freelancers, Blog2Social offers practical team features to keep your workflow organized.

You can assign social media accounts or entire network groups to specific team members, allowing them to manage their own posts without needing to reconnect the accounts. Tracking parameters for links can also be shared, so you’ll always know which post performed best on which platform. Even when working as a team, everything remains flexible. Each user can save their own settings for text, images, and posting times – without interfering with one another.

A particularly helpful feature: the integrated editorial calendar. It gives you a clear overview of which posts are scheduled when, and who’s responsible for what. This saves coordination time and keeps your content plan running smoothly, even in a team setup.

Track Blog Traffic with URL Parameters and Link Shorteners

Want to know which social network drives the most clicks to your blog? Or which posts perform best? Then you’ll benefit from Blog2Social’s URL tracking feature.

With URL parameters, you can precisely track where your visitors are coming from. You can assign custom tracking parameters to each of your connected social media accounts. These parameters are automatically added to every link you share through that network.

This way, you can instantly see whether your blog post is generating more reach on Instagram, LinkedIn, or Pinterest, for example. It’s the perfect tool for optimizing your content strategy based on real data.

How to Create Tracking Links and Use UTM Parameters for Google Analytics

To keep long URLs with tracking parameters clean and user-friendly, it’s also worth using a link shortener. These tools shorten your URLs and often provide independent click tracking as well. This helps you stay on top of things – even with multiple campaigns and social media posts.

In our comparison of the best free and premium link shorteners, you’ll find practical recommendations that work perfectly with Blog2Social.

Automatically Post Blog Content Directly from WordPress

If you like, Blog2Social can take over the posting of new or updated blog posts for you even fully automatically. You can define exactly when and on which platforms your new content should be published. Whether immediately, at a later time, or on different channels at different times – everything can be managed directly from WordPress.

This way, your social media management runs almost on autopilot.
