Whenever you share a post on social media, only a fraction of your followers will actually see your post. Sharing your post more than once will increase your chance that your post will get attention. However, there are strict community rules for each social platform for sharing, re-sharing, and cross-promoting the same content. And there are also unwritten rules for each community on how they react to the post frequency (see: how often to share posts on your social media account. But if you stick to the rules you can share your post on a recurring scheduling scheme to increase your impressions, likes, shares, retweets, and finally blog traffic.
If your content already performed well in the past don’t let it dust over in your archives. Re-share your best articles, videos, and graphics recurrently.
To come up with a successful posting strategy and make the most of publishing evergreen content more than once, you should take some important factors into consideration.
Apart from the rush hours, you should also consider the average lifespan of a post on the different networks. While your pins on Pinterest will be visible for a couple of weeks even, the average tweet on Twitter has a lifespan of only 18 minutes! Many of your followers have most likely missed your tweet the first time you’ve published it. Another reason why sharing a post more than once or re-sharing evergreen content is a good idea.
Learn about the optimal frequency of posting for maximum engagement for each network.
As you can see, social media success requires consistent posting. Use these guidelines as a starting point for your own experiments and analytics. Listen to your community and analyze at what time most of your fans and followers are online and to how many tweets or posts a day their engagement de- or increases.
While most of your followers won’t even notice if you recycle your content with the same images or comments, some networks (like Twitter) don't allow duplicate posts, especially if posts are shared in too short intervals. To save your posts from the algorithms, it is recommended to edit and vary your comments, hashtags, add a new comment (see: How to schedule multiple individually tailored social media posts for the same content), or select individual images in your tweet even if you share the same link post.
However, not everything is recyclable. Be careful with automatically resharing trending topics as well as holiday greetings when scheduling posts on a recurring time scheme!
The WordPress Plugin Blog2Social makes it super easy to set up recurring scheduling schemes to keep your followers entertained and your social feeds busy at all times.
You can choose whether you want to repeat your evergreen content every week, every month, or according to your own chosen interval.
To schedule a blog post on a recurring scheduling scheme, please click on "Social Media Posts" -> "Share on Social Media" for the respective post.
