Posting Activities

Automate Your Socials offers you two powerful options when it comes to publishing your content to Instagram, Instant Posting and Scheduled Posting.

 

1. Instant Posting

Automate Your Socials is the first Instagram auto poster that lets you publish post instantly to your Instagram accounts from any web browser and device.

With most other services, they will only let you schedule your post but won’t let you post it instantly. This is a great feature we have gone an extra mile for to achieve, because the official Instagram API does not let you do this. To make your Instagram marketing easier, we went that extra mile.

 

How to Post Instantly

To Publish your content to Instagram Instantly;

• Click on “add post” in the menu, select your post type (Photo/Video, Story or Album),
• Upload or import your images/videos
• Write your caption
• Select your desired Instagram accounts
• When you’re sure everything’s fine, click on the “post now”button

You should now have successfully posted to your Instagram Account(s). Click on the account name to see the post live on Instagram.

 

2. Scheduled Posting

This is one of the best ways to interact with your followers, prospective customers and also grow your social media account.

Automate Your Socials lets you plan your posts ahead of time. This is very important, because we won’t forget to post it on that important date and you do not need to plan every single post you want to publish on Instagram.

To save time, you need to can set a single day to plan all of your posts for a week, month or even more. This will not only mean you’re active on social media but also save you a great deal of time to focus on other aspects of your business.

 

How do you Schedule post on Automate Your Socials?

3. Captions

The caption section on our website lets you save an unlimited number of captions for later use. This is a great way to save your list of hashtags to be used on your posts for a period of time.

We always recommend using between 20-30 hashtags per post. At least 15 of these hashtags should be your generic hashtags that’ll fetch you better attention, leading to lots of followers.

Saving captions makes your scheduling easier. You can easily pick from your captions, edit, add an image and publish.

Automate Your Socials does not let you repost your old content because it could place your account at risk, with captions who needs to re-post anyways.

This tool lets you unfollow users based on advanced filtering parameters.

The auto comment function lets you start an interaction with others’ posts. This is one of the ways to be engaged and gain attention from others.

Instagram auto commenting has proved over time to be one of the most effective ways used by Instagram marketers to improve follower rate and drive sales.

Although this function has been abused by many, this is why we always encourage the use of spintax when auto-commenting and most importantly, post relevant comments and be creative about it to avoid your comments looking like spam.

6. Auto like

The Instagram auto like is the safest and the easiest way to grow your Instagram account. Unlike comments that could go off topic at times, likes are universal and they can be given to any type of post on Instagram.

Everyone loves to receive likes from fellow Instagrammers, and in return, they either give you likes back or they give even more by following you, leading to more potential customers.

The auto like tool has the fastest speed on Automate Your Socials. You can give up to 300 likes daily and according to statistics, you get an average of 8 followers from every 100 likes giving when you target the right hashtags and locations.
