How To Use IFTTT

IFTTT - If This Then Thatt

Hello Again, Derek here,

Today I’ve made a video for you about how to use IFTTT. If you have not heard of this, it’s a free site that allows you to automate syndication of your content across the Internet. You can use anything as your base link and syndicate to pretty much any media across then entire Web. It’s a rather cool tool and you can find it at https://ifttt.com/

You will need to set yourself up an account to use the service, but it takes a couple of minutes and is well worth while.

To give you an example, you can take an RSS feed and every time there is a new post, make a tweet about it, or post it to Facebook, send it to Tumblr or Blogger. The permutations are endless. You can even update your Hive over IFTTT for goodness sakes!

Images to Pinterest, Instagram, whatever you can conceive pretty much, IFTTT can do for you. BUT, be warned there are quirks, and I make a recommendation to you for dealing with them.

But first up check out the power of IFTTT with this 7 minute video.

As I said in the video, you can quite easily penalize your site if you use IFTTT wrongly, so it is worth checking out the IFTTT SEO Academy or maybe some other training on the subject. You need to get this right if you are going to use it, but get it right and it is pretty powerful.
