Consistently Share Content with Your Social Networks

Feedly is a great way to consolidate almost all of the content sources you consume – magazines to newspapers to blogs to YouTube videos – in one place. When combined with a social media management app like Hootsuite, it becomes a solution that allows you to scan and share great content with your social networks quickly and consistently.

1. Download the Feedly app and signup for an account, which takes about two seconds. Then start building your collections around topics and from sources that you and your social networks care about. For instance, you can create a collection for technology-based content or international news.
2. Sign up for Hootsuite, which is easier to do on a computer, and add your social media networks such as Facebook or Twitter. Then download the Hootsuite app onto your phone.
3. During those small breaks that you have throughout the day, like waiting in line at the bank, or in between meetings, read through your main feed or a specific collection, to stay updated on what’s happening, and to identify relevant content for your social networks. Then, using Feedly’s share function, schedule Tweets, Facebook or Linkedin posts through Hootsuite of the great content that you come across. Schedule the content so that you’re sharing over the course of the day.
