How to Automate Your Social Media

Simple Tips to Automate Social Media

  1. Start with ChatGPT's keyword planner for content ideas
  2. Choose one pillar content format (video, audio, or blog)
  3. Get your content transcribed
  4. Use ChatGPT to create multiple social media posts
  5. Schedule posts using automation tools like Hype Fury
  6. Use a content calendar for consistent posting
  7. Start with low-competition topics if you're new
  8. Focus on educational, helpful content
  9. Distribute across multiple platforms
  10. Keep your brand voice consistent

This is one of the most common questions from brand owners every week: "I know I should be posting on social media, but I don't know what to post, where to post, or how to post because I'm so busy running my business." My name is Brad Smith owner of AutomationLinks and I've been helping people automate their businesses for the last 10 years. Let's get started.


Using ChatGPT for Content Ideas

First, go to ChatGPT and use the keyword planner prompt. Tell it what you want to talk about (like marketing), and it will suggest keywords categorized as:

  • Low competition
  • Medium competition
  • High competition


Creating Your Content

There are three options:

  • Create one video per week
  • Record audio on your phone and transcribe it
  • Create a blog post

The goal is to work on one piece of content that can be distributed across all networks.


Content Distribution Process

Take your video/audio/blog content

  • Download the transcription
  • Plug it into ChatGPT
  • Create social media posts from the transcription
  • Use the calendar strategy for X, Meta, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google My Business, blog and newsletter
  • One piece can turn into over 700 pieces of content


Automation Steps

  • Copy your transcription
  • Go to ChatGPT
  • Tell it to "become an expert social media copywriter"
  • Ask it to create social media posts using your transcription
  • Use software like Hype Fury or Go High Level to schedule posts


Pro Tips

You can either:

  • Get a freelancer/virtual assistant (Use Fiverr for that) to take your pillar content and create all social media content using your calendar
  • Spend a few hours a week doing it yourself



The key is keeping it on brand and using your exact transcriptions.

  • What should I post on social media?

    Create educational, helpful content for your audience using keywords from ChatGPT's planner. Don't focus on selling or talking about how great you are - focus on helping your audience.

  • How can I create content efficiently?

    Create one pillar piece of content (video, audio, or blog) weekly and use the transcription to create multiple posts across different platforms. This one piece can turn into over 700 pieces of content.

  • Should I handle social media myself or hire help?

    You can either spend a few hours weekly doing it yourself or get a virtual assistant/freelancer to manage the process using your content calendar and brand voice.

  • Where should I start if I'm new to social media?

    Start with low-competition topics to build your audience without competing with established players in your space. Use ChatGPT to identify these topics.

  • How do I maintain consistency in posting?

    Use automation tools like Hype Fury or Go High Level to schedule your posts, and follow a content calendar that covers all your platforms (X, Meta, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google My Business, blog, and newsletter).
