HOW TO GET WORDPRESS BLOG POST AUTO SHARED TO SOCIAL MEDIA?

Any WordPress blog enthusiast would tell you how big of a deal it is to share one’s content out there to potential readers. Aside from the growing recognition one tends to gradually build, it is just naturally refreshing to have the self-conviction that your creative work is being read by a multitude of people. But what is daunting to bloggers is the seemingly unlimited time and effort it may take to share their content across the various social media sites. With the onset of a myriad of social media sites, it becomes manually over-involving to keep track, on a consistent basis, of all of one’s accounts.

So it is quite logical that many bloggers would want to resort to an automated way to share their content out there and, more intricately, synchronize their social media accounts and blog sites together. Below are some of the applications and software programs available to make this possible:
