Jetpack Social: Organic Content Sharing

Studies show that manually published social media posts get 50% more engagement than sharing links. Using Jetpack Social’s Organic Content Sharing feature, you can select an image or video and custom text to share your blog post as a native social media post instead of a link preview. This saves you time and optimizes engagement! This feature is available with the Jetpack Social Advanced plan only.

Share as a Social Post

To use this feature, upload an image or video and add your custom text in the Social sidebar. 

  1. Open the sidebar with all the settings for sharing your post to social media: click the Jetpack icon (if Jetpack is active) or the Social icon if you’re using the Jetpack Social plugin without Jetpack.

  1. Click the Choose Media button to select an image or a video you’d like to share.
  1. (Optional) Write the message you’d like to share with your audience. If left blank, the message will display the default WordPress excerpt.
  2. That’s it! Publish your post now or schedule it for later and the media and text you selected will show up on your social channels as a social post.
