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.
- 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.
- Click the Choose Media button to select an image or a video you’d like to share.
- (Optional) Write the message you’d like to share with your audience. If left blank, the message will display the default WordPress excerpt.
- 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.
