Seamless Post Scheduling with RSS Integration in Social Planner

Introduction:
Social Planner has introduced an innovative feature that simplifies post scheduling by integrating RSS (Really Simple Syndication) URLs. This tool allows you to automate content sharing, keeping your social media accounts updated without manual effort.

Advantages of Using RSS for Social Media:

Curating Content Efficiently:
RSS feeds compile content from numerous sources into one stream, making it easy to discover and share engaging content with your audience.

Automated Content Posting:
You can automate posts by linking RSS feeds to your social media accounts, ensuring a steady flow of content without constantly managing updates.

Stay Current with Industry News:
Subscribe to blogs and industry-related websites through RSS to stay informed about the latest trends, which helps in creating timely and relevant posts.

Reduce Information Overload:
RSS simplifies content management by bringing all updates from various websites into one central place, helping you stay organized.

Share User-Generated Content:
RSS can track user-generated content on community forums, making it easy to repost or promote material from your audience.

Consistent Posting Schedule:
By using RSS feeds with scheduling tools, you can maintain a steady posting frequency, even when you're busy.

Locating RSS Feeds:

While some sites may no longer prominently feature RSS links, they are still accessible through the following methods:

• WordPress Sites: Add "/feed" to the URL (e.g., https://example.com/feed).

• Other Platforms: For Tumblr, add "/rss" at the end of the URL. On Blogger, append "feeds/posts/default." For Medium publications, place "/feed/" before the publication’s name.

• YouTube Channels: Use an RSS reader to paste the channel’s URL or locate an OPML file with your subscriptions.

• View Source Code: Right-click on a webpage, select "View Page Source," and search for "rss" or "atom" to find the RSS URL.

Creating Posts Using an RSS Feed:

1. Navigate to Social Planner:
Go to the Marketing section and open the Social Planner tool. 

2. Create a New Post:
Select "New Post" and then click on the "RSS Post" option.

3. Input the RSS Feed URL:

4. Choose Social Platforms:

Note: Twitter integration is currently unavailable due to API restrictions.

5. Customize Your Post:
Add any additional text, hashtags, or links in the "End With" section. 

6. Set Posting Frequency:
Choose how often the RSS feed should update (from every 5 minutes to once per day). 

7. Specify Post Volume:
Set the number of posts to be generated at once, ranging from 1 to 5.

By integrating RSS into your social media strategy, you can streamline content sharing, maintain a consistent schedule, and save time.
