Service for automatic posting in social networks.  Delayed posting on VKontakte

Service for automatic posting in social networks. Delayed posting on VKontakte

Publish posts on several social networks for a long time. You have to go to every social network and every community, prepare a record, manually attach pictures or create polls ... It will take a whole evening. But there is a way to do it in a couple of minutes - cross-posting.

Crossposting is posting on different social networks and even instant messengers from the same admin area. You create only one post, and it is automatically published in all your groups, publics and accounts. Or post new article on the site, and its announcement also appears in all social networks.

Crossposting is needed to:

  • save time on manual duplication of posts, and therefore on maintaining communities;
  • not disrupt the content plan and posting deadlines due to the fact that more important things have appeared;
  • speed up the indexing of articles by publishing announcements from the site in social networks.

In the article, we will talk about how to use cross-posting, what services are available for this, and what determines its effectiveness.

How to set up crossposting

The simplest functionality for cross-posting is in the social networks themselves. Let's go to the settings of the personal VK page and open the "Contacts" section:

In VK, you can set up integration only with Instagram, Facebook and Twitter

We attach accounts - and now posts from VK will be automatically duplicated on Twitter and Facebook. And when we publish a new photo on Instagram, it will appear on the wall or in the VK album.

This post was exported to FB from VK

But there are 2 problems:

  • You can't export posts from communities (the exception is from VK communities to Twitter). If you only download personal pages, that's fine. If you are doing complex SMM, it is bad.
  • The number of social networks is limited. You won't be able to set up cross-posting to Odnoklassniki, YouTube, etc.

For a full promotion, this method is not suitable. Therefore, it is better to use cross-posting services.

Each such service is an aggregator from where you manage publications to all your accounts and communities. There you write posts, there you distribute them in the calendar grid and set the time for publication. We have identified the 5 most popular services.

SMMplanner

Price:130–500 r/month, but you can only pay for posts. If you publish up to 100 posts per month, the service is completely free. You just need to subscribe to the SMMplanner communities on VK and Facebook.

Free period- 7 days.

Here you can combine communities into groups. If you are an SMM manager and manage several projects, create these projects in SMMplanner and add the appropriate groups and pages to them.

We connect our projects with communities so that there is no confusion when posting

A unique feature of SMMplanner is the automatic deletion of records after some time. This is convenient if you post "temporary" posts: about promotions, special offers, etc.

We send a post with a message about the discount to several social networks, set up automatic deletion after a week

This is a balanced simple service. Suitable for beginners and experienced SMM-schiks.

smmbox

Price:from 300 r / month (50% discount when paying for six months).

Free period- 14 days.

SmmBox is a smart service. It searches for popular posts across 16 topics and suggests them for publication in your communities. This is handy if you don't want to be creative yourself (although you can also create original posts). Moreover, you can search for the most popular records even after the demo version ends. It's free.

We find a good post and place it on our site. It can be in the same form, or you can change something before publication - add text, remove a couple of pictures

The posts selected by the service are suitable for publication in any social networks. For example, we can drag a post from Tumblr to VK, Facebook, etc. There is a simple image editor where you can apply a filter to the picture or crop it before publishing. And at the maximum rate, batch uploading of pictures is provided: you upload up to 25 pictures from your computer and get the same number of ready-made posts.

We immediately attach other attachments, set the posting time, if necessary, add a watermark to the pictures

SmmBox has browser plugin . Put it - and create new posts by pressing Alt + X. You don't even have to go into your personal account.

We create a post with a picture and text on any page of any social network

There is a serious minus: Instagram is connected through an external service. You have to pay for this separately.

This service is convenient if you "take in quantity": you make a lot of publications and are constantly looking for new content for a wide audience.

PublBox

Price:Free if you lead up to 7 communities. If more - $ 6 / month (50% discount is provided when paying for six months).

Free period- 14 days.

Posting to YouTube is what is especially interesting in PublBox. You upload a video - and at the appointed time it appears on your YouTube channel. As well as in other social networks.

We attach a video, write a text and choose social networks for cross-posting

There is also a built-in design editor with a bunch of templates. Choose a template, change the text, graphic blocks - and the image for the post is ready. No need to search for pictures in stocks and process them in Photoshop. And in the "Reports" you can see which post with which picture got more likes and reposts.

In the editor, you can work with layers, change the background, add shapes and more

PublBox has a lot of SMM usefulness: extensions for engaging subscribers, an intelligent navigator for developing a content plan, etc. There is also a minus: all communities and profiles from each social network must be connected and configured manually. It's long.

If graphic content is at the forefront for you, and you are serious and long-term in SMM, choose PublBox.

Amplifr (Amplifer)

Free period- 14 days.

Amplifer is a smart cross-posting tool. He himself adapts images for different social networks, adds UTM tags to links and creates reports on clicks. Analyzes content: suggests the best posting time for your target audience and evaluates which materials are good and which are not.

In Amplifer, you can also edit posts for each social network. The built-in typographer will place the correct dashes and quotation marks

In order for Amplifer to post announcements of articles from the site, enable RSS. But only after payment

This is the most functional, but also the most expensive service. Suitable for professional SMM-schikov.

Pur Ninja

Price:$10 per month. The price includes unlimited posting and 50 social media accounts.

Free period- 7 days.

Everything is clear here:

5 items in the menu, and on top the main button - "Write a post"

  • Schedule - here we fill in the publication schedule;
  • Accounts - we connect and disconnect our communities and personal pages;
  • Analytics – we monitor how the audience of communities grows during cross-posting;
  • RSS import - we connect RSS 2.0 to publish materials from the site in social networks;
  • Team - we involve a colleague or a hired SMM manager.

The main advantage of Pur Ninja is a convenient editor. You attach media files to posts, set the publication date, sculpt watermarks on pictures. And most importantly, posts can be immediately edited for different social networks.

We are preparing two versions of the post - for the VK and Instagram communities. You can immediately arrange emoticons and crop the photo

Pur Ninja is good for beginners. It is very simple, but advanced SMM functionality is not provided.

Other services

How to make crossposting effective

  1. Don't spam. The content should be relevant: it is not necessary to chaotically clog all social networks with publications with the help of cross-posting. In VK, sometimes you can publish 10 posts a day, but for Facebook, this is a lot.
  2. Follow the publications and give feedback in the comments. People don't like soulless auto-posting. It makes the job easier, but no service will communicate with subscribers for you.
  3. Try to adapt the content to the format of the social network. What is good for Odnoklassniki, they will not understand on Facebook. If the post is ambiguous, do not be lazy and publish it in two or three versions. The Pur Ninja and Amplifer services will help with this.

And with the help of cross-posting, you can do interesting things - for example, conduct unified surveys in all social networks at once. To do this, we will create a survey in Google Forms, and attach a link to it to the post. This is what it looks like in Pur Ninja:

The survey will be completed even by users of Instagram and Twitter, where regular surveys cannot be created.

Who needs crossposting

Crossposting will be useful for SMM specialists, bloggers and those who promote their own products in social networks. Use it to get rid of routine work. But remember: cross-posting does not eliminate the need to comprehensively develop your communities / accounts. It is just a tool, and it only works in interaction with others.

There is also a minus - Facebook ranks posts exported from other social networks and cross-posting services low. They are less likely to get into the feed of your subscribers.

If you have any questions, you can
ask them in the comments below.

Are you actively promoting your company through social networks, and in 4-5 social networks? But what if you complicate the task, and you need to manage several companies in different social networks? To reduce the time spent by an SMM specialist, auto-posting services were invented.

Delayed posting is the automatic publication of your content at a given time. That is, you do not need to publish a post in real time, but you can pay attention to higher priority tasks. Naturally, you can schedule posts on the social networks themselves, but it is impossible to schedule posts on multiple social networks with one click.

Still not using scheduling social media posting services? But in vain. Even if you make only 1-2 posts a day, but on several social networks at once, automatically publishing content at a given time will save a lot of time and effort. And here's a selection of the best services for delayed posting on social networks for this.

1.SMMPlanner

A Russian-language service that supports such social networks as Facebook, Twitter, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Instagram and Telegram.

On the free version - an unlimited number of accounts and the ability to publish 100 posts for all time, that is, when this limit is reached, it will not be possible to make pending posts. For 450 rubles. per month you can connect 5 accounts, make as many posts as you need, publish videos and gifs (which you can’t do in the free version).

The service has a content editor, with which you can crop the photo to the desired size, apply inscriptions, stickers, use emoji. You can also add hashtags, geotags, watermarks to photos. In total - more than 20 settings. The interface of the service is very simple and convenient.

2.PublBox

Through this service, you can make scheduled posts and cross-posting on Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Instagram and Telegram. Available on iOS and Android apps.

There is a 7-day trial period, which allows you to connect 5 accounts in social networks and make 10 posts. On the starter package for $9 per month, you can also work with 5 accounts and make up to 100 posts per month.

PublBox has a fairly wide functionality - you can post text, photos, videos, emojis and gifs. There is an image editor for the visual design of content, a base with more than 1000 avatar templates, covers, posts.

In addition, there is a very useful Content Strategy tool that automatically selects publishing plans depending on the field of activity and goals.

All functions are available for testing in the trial period.

3. Amplifr

Another Russian-language service with a fairly wide functionality. True, not cheap - the trial period is given for 2 weeks, and then you will need to pay $5 per month for an account in each social network.

Through Amplifr, you can engage in delayed posting on Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, Pinterest, Twitter, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, My World, Viber and Tumblr. The service recommends when it is better to place posts in order to get the greatest coverage, adapts images to the requirements of different social networks, shortens links, and makes UTM tags on its own.

A useful feature is the automatic publication of posts from Instagram to other social networks. That is, you posted something on Instagram, and Amplifr will then repost it to the networks that you entrust to it.

4.SmmBox

A service that also allows you to auto-post and cross-post to in large numbers social networks: Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, Pinterest, Twitter, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and Tumblr.

The functionality is almost the same as that of other services, with some nuances. For example, posts from VKontakte are automatically sent to Telegram. There is an unusual tool "AliExpress posting", which involves setting up the sale of goods from AliExpress on your pages or groups in social networks.

Trial period - 2 weeks. The minimum Start tariff costs 299 rubles. per month. For this money, you can connect up to 5 accounts in social networks, except for Instagram. For some reason, the accounts of this social network are considered separately - in order to post on Instagram, you will have to pay another 99 rubles a month.

5. Buffer

An English-language service, on the free plan of which you can link three accounts in different social networks and create a queue of 10 posts simultaneously for each account. Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts are supported for free.

Users can work in applications for iOS and Android, create posts with photos, videos and gifs, as well as use short links.

Buffer can be linked to Google Analytics and track the amount of traffic, engagement (likes, shares, comments), etc.

The downside of this, like all other English-language services for delayed posting, is the lack of integration with Russian social networks and instant messengers. But if you are not actively working with VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and Telegram, this will not be an obstacle for you.

Also, services like Buffer can be used if you work only for a Western audience.

6.Hootsuite

In this scheduler for free, one user can add 3 social media accounts and schedule up to 30 posts per month. On the cheapest plan, which costs $19 per month, the functionality is already much wider: 10 accounts in social networks, an unlimited number of posts, access to analytics.

On Hootsuite you can work with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest.

7. Later

The tool helps you plan and schedule posts on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Later is a good choice for those who are not ready to pay for delayed social media posting even at the minimum rate.

The basic version is free and allows you to schedule quite a few posts per month - 30 posts on Instagram, 30 on Facebook, 50 on Twitter and 30 on Pinterest. There is a search function for relevant content, the repost of which can also be scheduled, and access to analytics.

The disadvantage of the basic version is that you can only post photos. When you purchase the minimum plan for $9 per month, you can also post videos.

Hello dear blog readers. I recently decided to try to attract traffic with social networks on one of his sites and realized how much time social media can take. networks, and more precisely, maintaining groups in social networks. After suffering for a couple of days, I began to look for ways to automate the whole thing and began to look for services where there is the possibility of auto-posting to social networks. Auto-posting to social networks is the only way out if you have several groups in different social networks. networks.

In today's article, I will talk about several auto-posting services, thanks to which you can significantly save your precious time and increase activity in your groups.

What is autoposting and autoposting services?

Autoposting is the automatic publication (posting) of records and images on the pages of your groups and profiles in social networks.

Thanks to auto-posting, you can significantly save time, since posts are published in automatic or semi-automatic mode.

Autoposting services are special sites (services) thanks to which community administrators can prepare posts for a group in advance, and they will be published automatically at a strictly specified time.

The service cannot automatically post to groups and publics, but you can collect the required number of participants, friends, likes and reposts in 9 social networks, which can also be very useful for any group or page.

Free auto-posting to social networks using the kuku service

The service is paid if you use all its features, but in some cases it will be enough disabilities.

Here you can add up to 3 groups or pages on social networks for free. The service supports all major social networks.

Autoposting works here as follows. On the page for adding posts, you can add an unlimited number of entries, specify the publication time, and the service will automatically publish the post at the specified time in your groups or profiles.

Auto-posting to social networks with the Feedman service

At the service feedman more opportunities than the previous candidate. Here you can use both a regular (free) account and a premium package. Premium account costs only 500 rubles per month, but includes unlimited auto-posting to Facebook, Twitter, Vkontakte, Yandex photo, Odnoklassniki and My world. In addition, a premium account allows you to use an unlimited number of channels and unlimited storage of published materials.

After registering in the service and connecting your profiles, the service will automatically find all the groups where you are an administrator. You just have to approve the necessary platforms for auto-posting.

But most of all I liked here a wide range of auto-posting tools. If in most of these services you can only write a post, add a link, an image and set the time, then all the possibilities are used here. For example, for VKontakte, in addition to the above, it is possible to add an audio or video recording and indicate that the post is a repost with a link to the original source.

Smmplanner is another autoposting service

The service is also very functional. Like the previous two, it can be used both for free, with few restrictions, and for a fee.

Upon registration, you are given a quota - 50 free posts monthly, but this quota can be increased by another 50 posts by joining the VKontakte service group and liking their Facebook page. In total, you will receive 100 free posts monthly. If you have one site, then I think this is more than enough. Well, if this is not enough, then for a penny you can always buy additional posts or unlimited.

The advantage of the service is the possibility of auto-posting in Telegram. Smmplanner is so far the only auto-posting service where I have seen the possibility of posting to Telegram. There may be others, but I haven't seen them yet.

If you actively post on Instagram, then especially for you, it is possible to add your own proxies.

Working with social networks is an important part of building the integrity of your brand in the eyes of users. According to numerous studies, the youth and teenage audience trust the brand more and tell their friends about it, the more actively it interacts with users on social networks.

It should be noted that the SocialKit auto-posting module, however, like other modules of this software package, allows not only replacing the functionality of the official Instagram client, but also significantly expanding it. Especially when it comes to mass work with accounts. The SocialKit module for delayed posting allows you to save dozens of hours of personal time by taking care of all the routine work.

A simple but diverse image editor in the module was created, rather, not as a replacement for external graphic editors, but as a function for batch uniqueization of images, which is especially important for mass work.

If we are talking about publishing a video, then thanks to the ability to set a custom cover, you can significantly increase the conversion from views, which is not the case in the official Instagram client.

Visually, Onlypult does not differ in something revolutionary, but it looks very nice and harmonious:

13. Crowdfire


Crowdfire is a cross between Gramblr and Autogrammer: simple interface, no video content, no analytics. But, in addition to the web version, Crodfire has a mobile application for iOS and Android, as well as a browser extension for Google Chrome. Crowdfire wants to be everywhere.

Just for fun: From one account, you can post posts, each of which will have the #via @Crowdfire tag. The blacklist/whitelist is limited to 50 users, following and unfollowing is also limited.

The magical $10 will add 10,000 blacklist/whitelist spots, remove subscription limits, unlock another available account, and add guest access. BUT they will not remove the advertising hashtag. So when choosing a tariff, you should carefully look at the conditions of each of them.

By the way, unlike other schedulers, Crowdfire decided that it was too easy to place a button with tariff plans in an accessible and noticeable area for the user. That is why you need to register and dance a little with a tambourine, climbing in the FAQ section to see the coveted numbers. We pass on this valuable knowledge to you, use it wisely:


For the future: to personally verify the relevance and veracity of the information, as well as change the tariff plan, after registration, click on the blue button at the very bottom on the left side of the screen. It will take you into the secret world of price categories. Or go to the desired section through the settings menu - but this does not always work correctly.


Crowdfire helps you instantly or at a specified time to publish a photo with or without a caption. Video content is currently unavailable in the service. The developers also talk about the imminent expansion of social networks available for posting. In addition to these functions, CrowdFire can show the latest subscribers, mutual and non-reciprocal (in both directions) followers - however, it does not provide the possibility of auto- and mass (en) following. All by hand and one person at a time.

14. ScheduGram


ScheduGram provides users with a standard range of functions for the publication scheduler: delayed posting, posting photos with filters, text overlays, etc., managing multiple accounts.

  • Can post to: Instagram
  • Price: "piece by piece"

SheduGram does not play the game of "find ten differences in my tariff plans". Instead, the service offers to pay for each Instagram account linked to the scheduler. And the monthly price of one account depends on the number of its subscribers. For example, if you have two Instagram accounts with 10,000 and 300,000 followers, then you will need to pay $80 per month to use SheduGram ($30 for the first and $50 for the second).

At the same time, all accounts have unlimited possibilities: no limits on social network profiles and the number of allowed posts.


SheduGram has one interesting feature - "First Comment". It allows you to put whatever you want into a single comment that appears at the same time as the post. So, for example, in the caption for a publication, you can tell something interesting to your subscribers, and put hashtags and mentions in the first comment from SheduGram. This is an interesting opportunity for those who are really focused on working with the audience and increasing its involvement in the content.

15.SMM planner


The Russian-language service SMMplanner supports several social platforms, making it easy to cross-post through it and manage multiple accounts at once in one window. Convenient labeling of publications, an attractive image editor, clear navigation will appeal to lovers of simplicity and efficiency. In addition, SMMplanner is only the second member of this list, which supports the Russian-speaking segment.

The number of posts available on the free plan in SMMplanner is 50 per month. This is provided that you do not want to like anyone and join anywhere. And the price for liking the service on Facebook and joining their VKontakte group, by the way, is another 50 posts a month for free!


The tariff system in SMMplanner is quite flexible: you can buy additional posts for a month, pay unlimited for your pages, or choose the tariff that suits you (from 0 to 7,500 rubles per month)


In addition to scheduled posting, SMMplanner can offer you scheduled deletion of posts. With this feature, you will not need to keep track of posts with a limited period: promotions, special offers, temporary, test content, etc. The possibility of grouping publics by projects will facilitate the maintenance of profiles of several social networks at the same time.


16. KUKU.io


The online service for SMM KUKU.io is undeservedly bypassed by many reviews and lists of tools for delayed posting. This scheduler is the third (and last) participant in our parade, which boasts a large number of social networks available for posting, including Russian ones.

In the free "Easy" tariff, publications to all social networks from three linked accounts at once are unlocked. The number of posts is limited to 50 pieces per month.

The Not So Easy tariff for $9.99 per month gives you access to the analytics panel, content plan, categories, and also allows you to use such an interesting feature as "Like and repost". Its essence lies in the fact that with just one button you can like and, if necessary, repost your post on behalf of other accounts.

In the same window, you can decide when you need to perform actions: instantly, at a specified time, or within a specified time. In the second option, all accounts will like / share the post at the same time, in the latter case, KUKU.io will automatically distribute actions over a given period. It is only worth noting that given function not available for Telegram, Odnoklassniki and LinkedIn.

The cost of the team plan depends on the number of guest accesses required and includes all the features from the previous plan plus a few serious features useful for running a business.


Advanced analytics, sorting the feed of posts, tracking the results of advertising campaigns, creating bots and much more will greatly facilitate your social networking and save a lot of free time.


On the KUKU.io page in the popular questions and answers section, you can find more useful information about working with the service.
