Most smartphones and mobile devices make it easy to share to a single social networking site. If you’re on your smartphone and browse a site that you would like to give props to the standard sharing options on the site or your smartphone will certainly let you “like or share” that post to a single social network.
If you’re in a FaceBook app on a mobile device you’ll find the common sharing options available to you no matter what kind of mobile phone you’re using.
What happens to your WordPress site though?
How can you make a post to your WordPress site from your phone? More importantly why would you want too?
The answer to the second question isn’t as straight forward as it seems, in fact I wrote a complete course outlining why and HOW you should use your blog as the site that you post to and have it update the social networks called “MySmallBiz Is Mobile”. The short answer is leverage, If the business goal is traffic and engagement for your business via social media, posting once to your blog and having the social networks drive visits back to your blog makes a lot of sense.
Now back to the first question. Is there an easy way to post to your WordPress Site from your phone? YES and I’ll share my fav with you right now.
