If you’re a blogger like me, then you’ll know the pain of writing something brilliant and never having enough people read it.

Ditto if you own an Etsy or Shopify store, or run a YouTube channel. The struggle of driving traffic to your online site is real and manifold.

Every time you make or create something new, there are a multitude of social platforms that you have to post it on — so many people you think should know about the gorgeous new bowtie you hand-stitched or the brand new recipe for chia pudding you cooked up, or the crazy, hilarious video you just posted!📣

When you’re busy doing what you do, you don’t have the time or energy to focus on learning the ins and outs of marketing. When you’re making a product🔨, designing jewellery 💎, writing an article for your blog 📝 or recording a new make-up tutorial on YouTube💄 — nobody expects you to have marketing knowledge on how a social post should look like or what time you should post — or even the right hashtags to use! And why should you need to?

You’re a writer, go write. You’re a chef, go cook.
You make cute headscarves for little babies. Go do that.

One of the biggest problems a lot of us face with our online sites is how to drive traffic there. And after talking to a whole host of Shopify, Etsy, YouTube and WordPress users, we came across a few of the pain points associated with getting more people to your website/blog/shop -

  1. Posting across all social platforms at once.
  2. Trying to determine the best time to post for each.
  3. Forgetting to post (this happens, trust me).
  4. Figuring out the right hashtags to use.

Most of us find it difficult to consistently post updates about our blog, channel or shop, everywhere, every day. If only there was an easier way to drive constant traffic to your beautiful new creations 🤔

Smart Posts are here!

Wouldn’t it be nice if you had someone who kept an eye out for every update on your blog, channel or shop and then helped you tell the world about that update?

With Smart Posts, you can drive more traffic to your shop, channel or blog by letting Crowdfire intelligently pick and promote your products, videos or blog posts — bring more buyers to your Etsy or Shopify store, get more readers for your WordPress blogs, garner more views for your YouTube videos — and a lot more!

How do Smart Posts work?

Smart Posts are just that — Smart.

Crowdfire boosts traffic to your blog, channel or online store by creating posts for you to share across your social networks. There’s a zero learning curve here!

Once you connect your online shop, YouTube channel or blog, Crowdfire starts looking out for any updates

The next time you add a new blog post, video or product, it creates a beautiful post to tell everyone about it

And helps you post it everywhere, at the best time, with just one tap

You don’t have to worry about what content to post along with it and what time to post it anymore.

You can directly share the post created for you, since it already has everything — your image, your link, your hashtags and a prefixed line. We know what hashtags work for you, just click on your hashtags from our hashtag bank and there you go. You can also edit this content and personalize it further to give it an extra boost. And voilá — a social media-ready post, waiting for you to hit that “yes”.

We’ve built Smart Posts to become the easiest way to promote new items across all your social platforms at once. Add a new post on your WordPress site, and a few taps later, audiences across your Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest can read it.

Currently, we support Shopify, Etsy, YouTube, WordPress, Tumblr, Blogger, Medium and Ghost for our Smart Posts feature — with more coming soon!

With Smart Posts, promoting your blog, channel or store becomes a breeze and you can drive traffic consistently to your websites.

So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and give it a spin

What’s Next?

Smart Posts are only going to get smarter. Right now, Crowdfire picks up on any new update to your blog, channel or shop.

In the coming weeks, Crowdfire will create a Smart Post for you to share every day, featuring your product/post/video, based on sales, reads or views — Crowdfire will also recycle old posts as a throwback and revive your sales, reads or views for these. This will keep your account active and your audiences engaged while making sure you’re constantly driving traffic to your site.

Crowdfire will keep looking out for more ways to promote your website. That’s what you get with your super-smart marketing side-kick 🤓
