Do you know social media can get you tons of traffic? Even pro bloggers depend on social media to drive traffic to their blogs.
If you have multiple blogs, you may be unable to publish post updates on social media due to time constraints.
So, how about an automated mechanism that will post on social media on your behalf?
Yes, WordPress has a lot of plugins that can automate the social sharing process. This article will discuss the top 7 Social Share WordPress Plugins.
You have published a well-written blog post. Is that enough? Can you drive traffic just because your post is SEO optimized?
No, not at all. Like you, tons of people published the same kind of posts. You have to do something different to get ranked.
Now, what makes you stand tall in the crowd? What makes Google rank your posts high on search engine result pages?
You guessed it right. It’s your social media presence that makes the difference.
Here are the top 7 WordPress Social Auto Post Plugins that can automate the process of social sharing.
Social Auto Poster (SAP)
The social auto poster is one of the best plugins for sharing WordPress post updates on social media channels automatically. It does not have a free version and is exclusively available on Codecanyon.
SAP supports automatic posting on eleven social media channels, including Google My Business. This is great because most of the automatic social sharing plugins do not support Google My Business.
The sharing process is very much streamlined. Just install the plugin, connect to a social media channel, and set your plugin automatically to post content automatically whenever there is a new post published.
In fact, you can repost your old articles on social media using SAP.
You can also schedule your post when to publish and customize each post individually.
SAP also allows you to filter posts based on categories before posting, and you will get complete statistics on how the published post performs.
A few other salient features of this plugin include a URL shortener, hashtag support, emoji support, quick share, logs tracking, etc. It’s a feature-packed plugin, and you won’t find anything to complain about.
Like other plugins, you don’t need to pay every year to renew the license. You can buy the plugin from Codecanyon and use it on one blog for a lifetime.
There is no constraint on the updates also. What that means is that you will get lifetime updates free of cost.
Social Auto Poster Features
- 11 Social media networks supported
- Logs tracking
- Posting statistics
- URL Shortener
- Configure each social media post
- Share posts on Google My Business
- Supports emoji
- Supports hashtags in the posts
- Scheduling of posts is possible
- Repost old posts on social media
Social Champ
This is one of the tools I discovered recently, and I am truly amazed by its features.
Starting from social media automation, updating social media accounts with Auto RSS, detailed tracking, analysis, and curating old posts, it has everything a powerful social media automation tool should have.
Not only that, but it can easily integrate with Canva, Crello, and Wave. video. The only issue with this tool is that it supports only Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google My Business. Hopefully, the author will come up with support for social media platforms.
Social Champ has a free version of this tool that can be downloaded from the WordPress repository. Still, I recommend going with the premium version to unlock more premium features you may require for your business to grow.
Social Champ Features
- Supports 6 social media platforms
- Integration with Canva and Crello
- Bulk upload
- Detailed tracking and analysis
- Post scheduling
- Old content curation and reposting
- Auto RSS features
- Automates social media posting
FS social poster
FS Social Poster is unavailable in the WordPress repository and can only be purchased from Codecanyon.
It supports 14 major networks, although the setup process is difficult. You may need to create API keys for certain networks, which is a problem for new bloggers.
FS Social Poster is full of premium features and has every feature you need from an automated social sharing plugin.
On top of that, the plugin is available at a one-time fee. No need to renew the license every year like other plugins.
One of the salient features of this paid plugin is that you can have multiple accounts for each social network. So, cross-posting is a breeze.
FS Social Poster Features
- Support multiple accounts
- Customize each post before sharing
- Custom URL
- Add hashtags to your posts
- Add emojis to your posts
- Post scheduling
Blog2Social
This is one of WordPress’s most widely used and popular automatic social share plugins. It offers almost all network connections out of the box.
You need to connect to those networks using your user ID and password, and that’s it. No hassle of API.
I am also using this plugin in a couple of my blogs, and I am very happy with it. However, the free plan only offers the basic stuff that may bother many bloggers.
In the free plan, you can only connect to one account per network. For example, you can connect to only one Facebook account, which applies to other networks.
Also, make a note that in the free plan, Blog2Social does not auto-share your blog post. You have to click on the share button to do the job. But thankfully, you can share with all networks with a single click.
If you leave that issue, I feel this is a great free plugin to automatically share your WordPress post to multiple social media platforms.
Blog2Social Pro Features
- Multiple accounts support
- Automatic posts share on Facebook groups
- Auto-posting on social media channels
- Schedule your post
- Customize the post for each social media channel
- Select post formats
- Social media reporting
Social Network Auto Post (SNAP)
When I was shopping around for a plugin that automatically shares WordPress posts on social media, many bloggers suggested this plugin.
This is an excellent plugin with all the required features, but the free version does not offer much.
Like Blog2Social, it offers almost all network connections. Connecting to those networks is not an easy task, though.
You will have to create API keys for all networks, so if you are a newbie and do not know how to create API, I would not suggest this plugin. But this is an awesome plugin if you know how to create API keys.
SNAP needs a premium plan to connect to networks like Pinterest, Instagram, etc. So , buying a premium plan makes more sense. The pricing of premium plans is really good.
SNAP Pro Features
- 100% while label share
- Post scheduling
- Custom post formats
- Hashtag support
- Emoji Support
- URL shortener
- Repost existing posts
- Unlimited social media accounts
Publicize
Most of us might know this plugin is offered as a feature set in Jetpack. It was available as a separate plugin, but now it comes with the Jetpack itself.
It is one of the easiest ways to connect to social media networks and post WordPress articles automatically.
Currently, publicize supports only five networks: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr, and MailChimp. You need to have a WordPress.com account to connect to those networks.
It’s a great free plugin to share your blog post automatically on social media. However, Sometimes you may have difficulty connecting to social media accounts. On top of that, you will hardly get any customization options while sharing posts.
Social Media Auto Publish
Social Media Auto Publish is a free plugin to share WordPress posts on various social media networks automatically. Currently, it supports only three networks: Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
You can filter posts based on the category before you share. You can also choose whether to share pages or not. Each post can be customized before sharing.
Conclusion: Social Share WordPress Plugins
WordPress Social Auto Post Plugins can be a significant relief for many if they don’t have time to share posts.
These automated plugins can boost the social presence and get more traffic.
Unfortunately, the free versions of all plugins have limited features. We need to buy the pro version to unlock the full list of features.
I am using Blog2Social and Social auto posters by WPweb for several of my blogs, and both seem to meet my requirements.
