Whether you are a social media influencer (or want to become a social media influencer) time is precious and you can never get enough of it. So if you aren’t using IFTTT to make your schedule lighter and your life easier, you are missing out.
IFTTT is a tool that allows you to create/use recipes that help connect two separate services you use. An example of an IFTTT Applet in action would be: Connecting an RSS feed of your blog and your Twitter account to automatically tweet about a new blog post when it’s live.
Pretty amazing right? Think of all the time you’ll save doing tedious boring tasks by automating social media and other time-intensive chores with IFTTT! We put together a list of different types of social media automation, finance automation and productivity automation tasks that social media influencers like you would find extra handy.
