Social media automation for small businesses — AI makes the posts, you just post them.

Social media automation is using software to handle the repetitive work of keeping social accounts active. Most tools, like Buffer or Hootsuite, only automate scheduling — you still make every post. What I build automates making the content itself: an AI pipeline turns your ideas, product photos or footage into ready-to-post short videos, images and captions for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn. You review, approve and post.

With me: $500 one-time for one automation, $1,200 for a bundle of 3, and an optional $300/month care plan. The audit that decides what to build is free. AI tool costs are billed to your own accounts at the provider's price with no markup, and I estimate them before you commit. For comparison, scheduling software is cheaper per month but leaves all the content creation to you, and a freelance editor charges for every video, every month.

One pipeline with one kind of input and one kind of output. For example: a product photo becomes three Instagram image posts with captions; a rough idea becomes a scripted, edited, captioned vertical video for TikTok, Reels and Shorts; one long video becomes several Shorts clips; a blog post becomes a LinkedIn post and carousel. If you need several outputs, those are separate automations — the free audit tells you exactly how many you need.

That is most of the build. Your brand voice, colours, fonts, product facts and the things you never say go into the pipeline as rules, and every batch waits for your approval. When you ask for a change, the rule gets updated so the next batch already has it.

No — you post, so your accounts and logins stay entirely yours. The pipeline delivers each post ready to go: the video or image file plus its caption and hashtags, sized for its platform. If you already use a scheduling tool, the automation can deliver into that.

TikTok, Instagram (Reels, feed posts and carousels), YouTube (Shorts and long-form) and LinkedIn. One automation can produce versions for several platforms at once — a vertical video, for example, works for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

No. Every automation is yours after handover and keeps running without me. The $300/month care plan is for businesses that want someone watching it: fixing things when a platform or AI tool changes, tuning the style as the brand evolves, and handling one small change request a month. Cancel anytime.

A single automation is usually ready in one to two weeks, including the handover walkthrough. A bundle takes a little longer because the automations are planned to share one brand setup.

Yes — English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. I run my own YouTube channels in English and Traditional Chinese with these pipelines, so a business serving both markets can get both versions from one workflow.
