What exactly would you try to automate? (Having done some coding) I see very little room for automation. Social media marketing is all about strategy and content. Or is it not?
Also, it’s not only about content but about proper timing and strategy in your communications.
Recycling content, finding out optimal posting times, posting content ... sure, these can all be automated.
But how do you automate generating content, especially good content and not article spinners or whatever? Can you explain?
You can create pipelines that save labor - like clients for platforms that make answering common questions / interacting with users way more comfortable and suited to your targeted workflow than the default clients.
On the creativity front, you can also generate random, semi-plausible stuff to inspire you when you're in a rut.
It's not quite about making everything automated, but about leveraging code, systems thinking, and collaborators in such a way that your performance is incredible. It's really feasible.
1) Curating third-party content to post.
2) Scheduling owned content to post.
3) Sending DMs to new followers.
