The Social Media Content Sharing Automation Framework

This framework is designed to save time and maximize exposure by automating the process of sharing manually curated content with your followers. This is the system we use on Penguin Initiatives, but it is by no means a one size fits all solution. It is merely one example of what can be done with the wide array of sophisticated tools freely available to inbound marketers today. We share this in the hope that it inspires you to create your own creative framework to meet your needs.

  1. This is a great solution for sharing a lot of content (consider adding an automation fo archiving all posts into a google doc as well) but automating from pocket to buffer doesn’t allow you the chance to add your own comment or insight. You are just posting headlines and links. That is fine sometimes, but it is less valuable than adding something of your own to each post. I suppose you could just log into buffer every now and then and add some comments… But you might forget what some articles are about.
