Connect Your Social Media Accounts
Currently, AgentMethods supports posting to the following social media platforms:
If you are on an "Agent" and "Super Agent" plan, you'll find the Social tab by clicking Outbound Marketing from the left navigation.
To connect your social media accounts to AgentMethods, start by clicking the AMPlify tab in the left navigation of your screen, then head to the Social tab.
Click the green Show Settings text on the far right of your screen.
This will open the social media settings page. Click the green Connect button next to the social media account that you'd like to connect to AgentMethods.
You'll be redirected to the login screen for the app you selected. Log in, and follow the instructions that appear.
Have multiple pages under a single social media account? You can connect as many pages as you'd like.
Install Social Media Sharing Bookmark
Ever read an interesting article or web page and want to immediately share with your followers? Bookmarks allow you to quickly share any web page directly to your social media accounts.
To install the Sharing Bookmark, drag the blue Share via AgentMethods button to your browser's bookmark bar.
Once installed, all you need to do is click the link in your bookmark bar to share the webpage you're currently on.
Then, you can easily share any web page - just visit the page and then click on the bookmark. You will be redirected to this page with everything filled out and ready for posting!
Select Post Categories & Types
This feature is only available on the Amplify and Super Agent plans.
When you connect your social media accounts to AgentMethods, we automatically post for you based on the types of content that you'd like to share.
After you connect your social media accounts, scroll down to the section marked Select Your Post Categories.
Toggle the switches next to each category of topics that relate to your business.
Next, you'll want to choose what format of posts that you prefer. There are three types of posts you can choose from:
- Article/Link Posts: Posts sharing relevant blog articles with your audience. These post approximately once per day.
- Content Posts: An image paired with a text caption (perfect for Instagram!). These post twice per week.
- Holiday Posts: Relevant posts for scheduled holidays. These include typical holidays (such as Christmas and Thanksgiving), as well as fun and unusual holidays. You can select which holidays you'd like a post published for by checking the box next to each holiday.
You can select all three post types, or only the post types that you prefer.
Once you've selected your preferred post types and categories, you're all set! We'll automatically begin populating your social media feeds and posting for you. You can change your preferences at any time.
You can view your social media analytics and view your recent social media posts from the main Social tab.
