Blog2Social WordPress social media plugin for easier auto posting, sharing and scheduling blog posts to social media
More than a year ago we launched the first release of Blog2Social to easily share blog posts on social media. Our idea has been to simplify the process of sharing and cross-promoting blog posts across multiple social media channels. Our primary goal has been to develop a solution to automate the process of sharing, while safeguarding individual customization and best time scheduling. We wanted to take out the cons of robot-like broadcasting while maintaining the benefits of auto sharing. So we put much effort into turning blog posts into an optimal format social media posts to be scheduled and shared at the best time for each network automatically. At the same time we provide users with the option to customize posts.
We are always happy to receive positive feedback from our users.
„Blog2Social removes all social sharing pain Blog2Social automates the social sharing I do immediately after posting, makes it easy to repurpose and reshare old blog posts and allows me to schedule as many shares and reshares as far into the future as I like"

Time you can better spend on networking and engaging with your audience. However, your regular feedback and requests for more features helps us to improve Blog2Social according to your needs and requirements. So, we connected several more networks to the plugin and further simplified and improved the sharing customization and scheduling process.
Now it’s time to present a brand new release with new features alongside the most popular ones. Please let us know what you think.

Scheduling for the best times to post on social media
The perfect timing can bei critical for your post to be noticed or go down in the endless stream of social media noise. However, the best time to post varies from network to network and from community to community.
We have done a bundle of research for you to develop a ready to use time frame to automatically send out your posts according to the best times on each network. The new release allows you to choose the Blog2Social best-time scheduler or set up your own best time scheduling plan.
It takes a lot of deep insight research and analysis to find out what works best for you. If you already did that research for yourself, set up your own best time settings for the times that work best for you.
When scheduling your post, just click “B2S best-time scheduler” or “My best time setting”. For both options you can always edit and save new time settings.
You can:
choose one time scheduling or recurring scheduling,
re-share old posts or
pre-schedule your planned, not yet published posts.
Re-sharing content and re-posting evergreen content recurringly
Everytime your share your posts on social media, only a fraction of your audience will actually see your post. So it might be a good idea to post your content more than once. But, be careful with re-sharing your content. There are implicit rules on how often to post on each network (Link blog post) that vary from network to network. Whereas it is ok to post as many as 3-4 times per day on Twitter, doing the same on Facebook may result in annoying your followers. The new Blog2Social scheduling feature makes it easier to plan, share and re-share your content recurringly:
Select how many weeks your content shall be published and select days and time.
Re-share your content to a specific set of networks only.
Re-share your evergreen content recurringly.
Share all of your post images on a successive plan.
Post in different groups with different comments.
And more
And with one more click you may save your setting as default for all networks.
Blog2Social is free to use it for auto-sharing and customizing blog posts to social media. More elaborate features for sharing and scheduling can be accessed with the Blog2Social Premium upgrade anytime.
