  • Automatically share content to Instagram & Mastodon with Jetpack Social

    Dedicating time to publish content on all your social media platforms can be tedious and time-consuming. That’s why Jetpack has been working hard to create robust tools to help you automatically share more content across more platforms, with less effort. Now you can connect your Instagram Business & Mastodon accounts to Jetpack Social, and your content will be shared the moment you hit publish.

    Jetpack Social now allows you to auto-share your WordPress content to Instagram, Mastodon, Facebook,
    LinkedIn, and Tumblr!

    Instantly share to Instagram

    Instagram has a greater reach than any other social media platform and it is now available within Jetpack Social. Engage your target audience by sharing your post featured image to your Instagram Business account, directly from the WordPress editor. Learn how to connect Jetpack to Instagram.

    We’re also working on adding automatic video sharing capability, which will allow you to share the videos you’ve uploaded to your WordPress site, directly to Instagram Video Reels. That premium feature is coming soon to Jetpack Social Advanced.

    Multiply your reach with Mastodon

    Now you can also extend your influence to the newly popular social platform, Mastodon. Similar to Twitter, Mastodon allows you to share media and text content. Learn how to connect Jetpack to Mastodon.

    Mastodon is part of a larger ecosystem known as the “Fediverse.” This interconnected network allows users on Mastodon to interact with users on other compatible platforms, such as PixelFed (for image sharing). This allows you to connect with a broader audience.

    Flexibility with every post

    • Select where you share with every post: Easily toggle which social media networks you want your content to automatically go to, with every WordPress post. Got some photos that you want to share on Instagram, but not LinkedIn? No problem.
    • Preview before you publish: We’ve improved the social preview tool, which allows you to see how your post will appear on all the social platforms you’re connected to, without ever leaving the WordPress editor.
    • Control your message: If you have long-form content, you can easily overwrite the default message and create your own custom messages to be shared amongst your social networks, alongside your media. This is also great for social media platforms that restrict character counts.

  • Create custom visuals for your social media with the Jetpack Social Image Generator

    Traditionally, creating unique and engaging imagery for social media platforms often required a basic understanding of image editing tools. Adding text to images, changing photo orientation, and tinkering with different visual styles for each social network was tedious and frustrating. But not anymore.

    With Jetpack Social Advanced, you can overlay custom text onto your images and choose from a variety of styles to increase engagement on your social posts. Most importantly, you’ll save time by doing it all within the WordPress editor.

    Choose your image & add custom text

    Jetpack Social Advanced gives you the freedom to create social images with custom text applied to them. This is handy if you often have long blog post titles for SEO purposes, but prefer to use specific calls-to-action with your social media post images.

    Sometimes the featured image of your blog post may not be the best fit to share on social platforms. With the Jetpack Social Image Generator, you can choose to share your featured image, select a different image from your media library, upload a new image, or select “no image” if you just want to create a text-based image for your socials.

    Pick a template to make it your own

    Tie everything together by exploring creative templates with various fonts and text placement around your image. Choose from full width images with text overlays or images with text aligned to either side.

    Preview before you share

    With Jetpack Social, it’s never been easier to share your WordPress content to social media.

  • An Update on Jetpack Social and Twitter

    On April 3rd, Twitter suspended our access to the Twitter API without warning. As a result of this, Jetpack Social connections to Twitter are currently not working, and it is not possible to share a post on Twitter. Other Jetpack functionalities that depend on Twitter are also affected.

    Any Jetpack Social connections to other platforms (Tumblr, Facebook, and LinkedIn) are unaffected and can be used as usual.

    We want you to know that we’re on top of this and working hard to find a solution. We’ll keep this post updated as we get more information.

    We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thanks for being patient with us as we work to get everything back up and running.

  • Jetpack Social, the newest and easiest way to share your WordPress content to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Tumblr

    Social media has changed a lot in the last ten years since Jetpack launched its social sharing tools. Remember 2012? Pinterest exploded onto the scene, MySpace relaunched, Facebook went public, and also bought a little photo-sharing network called Instagram.

    Today, social networks have long been established as a pillar of any marketing or communication plan. In fact, Generation Z may be more likely to find answers through social media instead of Googling. You already know you need to get your message on social media to reach your audience where they hang out. But who has the time to manage that, along with everything else? That’s why we created Jetpack Social.

    Write once, post everywhere

    You’re already sharing posts, pages, and products on your website. Jetpack Social goes one step further and shares your content directly from the WordPress Editor to your social media channels. Whether your fans are on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or Tumblr, you can easily reach them with a few clicks.

    Manage your social connections and automatically share your posts to social networks

    You can set a featured image and update the message for your social channels through the simple interface. You’ll get a preview to see what it looks like, so you can be confident before you publish.

    Finish writing your posts on your time. Schedule them to go live when it’s convenient for you and we’ll take care of the rest. And coming in November, you can re-share your content, which is excellent for those evergreen posts you want to remind your readers about.

    Over 1 million posts are shared every day with Jetpack Social. If you haven’t tried it yet, find out what you’ve been missing.

    Free for casual users

    All of Jetpack Social’s features are free for up to 30 shares per month. If you share a post on Twitter, that’s one share. Share it on Twitter and Facebook, that’s two shares. That’s one post per day, for free!

    If you’re a power user, our basic plan is best for you. Get up to 1,000 shares and hit that re-share button until your heart’s content. To celebrate the launch of Jetpack Social, we have a $1 introductory offer for the first month, and after that, it’s $10 per month.

    If you’re already using Jetpack social media tools

    Thanks for using Jetpack! We’re happy that our sharing feature saved people so much time over the last ten years. And now we’re excited to give Jetpack Social the time it deserves. We have a new team focusing on how to make the product even better so we can help you get your message out and grow your business.

    All the features you’re used to are still free, and we moved social previews and re-sharing out from the paid plans to the free plan. Be sure to give those a try!

    If you want to share your content more than 30 times per month, you’ll need to upgrade to the Social Basic plan. The first month is just $1, and will be $10 monthly after that.

    Try Jetpack Social today.
