Affiliate material

Launching your own website involves a lot of different work, including not only the creation of the platform itself, but also its further maintenance. At the same time, even modest projects need constant support, which takes up a significant part of time and resources.

The easiest way to make your WordPress site easier is to automate article posting using plugins. We have collected the most useful and convenient post automation tools that will help you increase traffic, turning even a small project into a large and profitable one.

NextScripts

The plugin allows you to connect and configure auto-posting of articles for most of the largest and most popular social networks, including such giants as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, LinkedIn, ok.ru, Instagram, Telegram, Pinterest, VKontakte, YouTube and others. At the same time, the program is distributed free of charge and has a Russified interface.

NextScripts is extremely easy to use: you just need to configure the publication parameters once, and then just track the statistics of finished posts.

The main advantage of the service is the absence of a watermark indicating an automatically prepared publication. In addition, it works well with the popular commercial plugin WooCommerce, which makes it much easier to share product cards to all connected social networks.

WP RSS Aggregator

One of the best plugins for news site autofill, allowing you to import and save RSS feeds for your resource.

unlimited number of sources for data import;

The plugin is suitable for those who are guided by the automatic filling of a blog or information portal. WP Robot is able to generate and fill a resource with materials with a given uniqueness and regularity.

At the same time, the service creates posts for any keywords, topics and categories, which helps in SEO-promotion of the site. Additionally, the plugin allows you to publish ad units from commercial resources on the site, including Amazon, YouTube, eBay and others.

The program is distributed on a paid basis.

Autoposting plugin Text.ru

The developers of the Russian exchange for copywriters, rewriters and translators Text.ru have released their plugin for automatic posting of articles on WordPress. With its help, site owners who regularly use the services of freelancers on the exchange can publish approved materials directly on their resources, without the need to manually add and issue a new post.

The program greatly facilitates the work with orders received on the exchange, and reduces the time between checking the material and its publication on the site. At the same time, the principle of operation of the extension is extremely simple:

Through the open API, the plugin interacts with the Text.ru exchange by sending certain data.
Further, the extension receives a response data packet containing information about the orders placed by the user, the documents attached to them and the sites where these materials are planned to be published in the future.
Approved and selected articles are duplicated in drafts on the WordPress platform, where the resource owner can easily edit them and then send them for publication.

The plugin is distributed free of charge, but with one condition: to get access to the code, you must be registered on the exchange, and also act as a customer. However, these conditions are easy to fulfill.

Simple Content Templates

Another tool to help automate your work with WordPress is the Simple Content Templates plugin, which is responsible for creating templates. So, for posts from one category or one format, it is better to set up a template in advance in order to minimize the time for preparing a publication by filling in only specific differing blocks or elements.

The customized template can be applied to an unlimited number of future publications, as well as share it with other content authors. At the same time, the plugin is extremely easy to use: just create a new template, save, and then select it when preparing the next post. Simple Content Templates is distributed free of charge.

As you can see, a large number of useful and convenient plugins have been developed for posting automation (this list is just a small part of them!). At the same time, many of them are distributed free of charge and are accompanied by detailed instructions for installation and use, which greatly facilitates the work of webmasters.
