Make It Yours

The speed is real. Here's what keeps the output from reading like everyone else's.

  • Write 3-4 example posts in your own voice first and give them to the AI as a style reference, not just an instruction to "sound casual."
  • Keep the Review and Approve step a real read, not a rubber stamp: it's the only point where an off-brand post gets caught before it's public.
  • Vary the prompt by platform: a LinkedIn post and a tweet shouldn't read identically, or every channel ends up with the same generic caption.

Time Required

1 hr setup / 5 min weekly

Expected Result

A fully automated pipeline that drafts and schedules tweets and LinkedIn posts every time you publish a new blog post.

Recommended Tools

Trigger on New Blog Post

Set up Zapier or Make to listen for new RSS feed items or WordPress publishes. Configure the trigger to fire whenever a new post goes live.

Review and Approve
