Social Rabbit: Automate Your Social Media Marketing

I think you will agree when I say: social media marketing is a lot of work! You must find content, post, post some more, like and follow, among other things. When you do it manually, social media marketing is time-consuming and pricey, more so when you’re handling other business tasks.

But guess what?

I found a gem, a nifty plugin known as Social Rabbit. The plugin posts amazing human-like content to your four favorite social networks: FB, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest on auto-pilot 24/7.  If that doesn’t get you going, you can use the plugin to post (grab) content from popular accounts, follow users, comment, and like.

It’s social media marketing in a box.

According to the developer, Alidropship:

The smart bunny draws attention to your accounts through following, liking, and commenting on users’ posts and accounts. Your social traffic and sales grow like crazy!

With this handy plugin, you can fully automate your site’s social media accounts posts, but make them look like you’ve spent hours on thoughtful planning and crafting of every post.

In today’s review, we install the Social Rabbit WordPress plugin and discover what makes it such a game-changer.

Without further ado, let’s start.

First, Buy the Social Rabbit WordPress Plugin

Social Rabbit is a premium WordPress plugin. You can’t get it from the free WordPress plugin repository. You need a valid license, meaning you must head over to the Social Rabbit website and hit the Buy Plugin button.

They offer three packages: one-site license at $69 bucks, three-site license at $149, and five-site license at $209. Choose the package that’s suitable for you. There is a slight learning curve, but it is smooth sailing all the way. Plus, you have video documentation and included lifetime professional support, so yay!

FYI: Although Social Rabbit is an add-on for the famous Alidropship plugin, you don’t need the latter. Social Rabbit is a standalone plugin that you can use on any WordPress website, even if you don’t have the Alidropship plugin.

After purchase, download the plugin to your computer. Note that you should select the archive compatible with your PHP version – 7.1 or 7.2/7.3. To check your PHP version, use the Display PHP Version plugin by David Gwyer. Alternatively, you can check your PHP version inside cPanel.

Now, you’re ready for the fun part 🙂

Install the Social Rabbit WordPress Plugin

Activating Media Gallery

Social Rabbit offers you a powerful media gallery to keep the images you share to social media in one place. The plugin allows you to add pictures to the gallery in three ways.

You can upload images, import them from external databases, or activate automatic image download from photo websites.

For this review, we show you how to add media in all three ways.

Now that we have images going, let us activate sharing tools so that you can automate social media marketing on your WordPress website. We will begin with Facebook.

Social Rabbit Facebook Tools

The Social Rabbit plugin offers you three Facebook tools, namely, Poster, Gallery, and Blog. We shall go over each tool briefly. Let’s begin with the Facebook Poster tool.

Facebook Poster Tool

The Poster tool allows you to publish products from your store to your Facebook account automatically.

Head over to Facebook > Poster, as shown below.

On the next screen, do the following:

1. Toggle the button to activate the Poster tool
2. Set your posting frequency
3. Edit your template here. Take advantage of the template field to create engaging posts. You can use tags, #hashtags, and create multiple variations of your post. Separate variations using | as shown in the image above.

Next, turn on the Gallery tool, choose your posting frequency, edit your template, and hit Save, as shown below.

Now, Social Rabbit will pick images and videos from the Social Rabbit media gallery and post to Facebook automatically. That out of the way, let us activate the Facebook Blog tool.

Facebook Blog Tool

As the name suggests, the Blog tool helps you to share your blog posts to Facebook automatically.

Navigate to Facebook > Blog:

Next, activate the Blog tool, set your posting frequency, edit your template, and click the Save button.

Social Rabbit will take posts from your blog and post them to your Facebook account automatically.

Facebook Tools out of the way, let us cover Instagram tools next.

Social Rabbit Instagram Tools

Social Rabbit offers you eight Instagram tools, namely Poster, Gallery, Blog, Grabber, Promoter, Shoutout, Mutual Promotion, and Stories.  Let’s begin with the Instagram Poster tool.

Check out marketing tips & tricks from Social Rabbit, which covers how to use hashtags effectively, when to post and how often you should post. You need to read the article if you don’t want to come off across as spammy.

Out of curiosity, I activated the Grabber, Promoter, Mutual Promotion, and Shoutout tools, and here’s how that went.

Instagram Grabber Tool

The Instagram Grabber tool helps you to repost content from other niche related Instagram account. It’s the perfect tool to grow your Instagram influence.

Head over to Instagram > Grabber.

Next, turn on the Grabber tool, set reposting frequency, edit your template, and use the Search users or tags tab to add Instagram users.

All done! Social Rabbit will now curate and repost content from the Instagram accounts you added. How sweet? Especially when everything runs silently in the background 24/7.

There’s more! You have a Promoter tool that helps you to get your name out there.

Instagram Promoter Tool

The Instagram Promoter tool helps you to promote your account by giving likes, commenting and following the most famous accounts of your niche. Now, you don’t have to like posts, follow, and comment manually.

Go to Instagram > Promoter:

Next, turn on the Promoter tool, and add users via the Search users & tags tab, as shown below.

Simple as 1, 2, 3. So far, so good, I haven’t had any challenges configuring Social Rabbit. And it’s working; I noticed a spike in the number of users the day I activated Facebook Poster. Here’s the proof:

For a dummy website that doesn’t get traffic, that 233.3% bump is a noticeable improvement. Suffice to say; all the users came from Facebook. Now, let us look at the Mutual Promotion tool.

Instagram Mutual Promotion Tool

The Mutual Promotion tool helps you to get many comments, followers, and likes within a short period by exploiting Social Rabbit plugins installed on other websites. The tool likes, comments, and follows Instagram accounts belonging to other Social Rabbit users.

Navigate to Instagram > Mutual Promotion:

Next, turn on Mutual Promotion, switch on necessary options, i.e. Follow, Like & Comment, and hit the Save button:

And finally, we have the Instagram Shoutout tool.

Instagram Shoutout Tool

The Instagram Shoutout tool helps you to find Instagram influencers interested in shoutouts and ads.

Go to Instagram > Shoutout:

Next, configure your tool, add users, and click Save.

Configuring Social Rabbit is incredibly easy; I don’t expect you to run into problems. So, go ahead and similarly activate Twitter and Pinterest tools.
