Mastering the RiteForge browser extension
Updated December 1, 2024
Here's everything you need to know to use RiteForge to get attention with everything you share to social. Get your posts see through auto-generated images and get them found through social search. Get targeted visits to the site or landing page you want your audience to click through to.
Get the extension for Chrome or Firefox by visiting RiteForge on the browser where you want to use the extension.
In the video below:
Adding Twitter accounts, LinkedIn Profiles, Pages, Facebook Pages¹, and Pinterest Boards as well. Add them here.
Integrate Buffer and/or Sendible here.
Sharing web pages with the browser button or mouse right-click, either with page title, URL, image and hashtags or, quote text to make a text image, also with strategic hashtags and a URL that you can convert in a click to a Rite.ly that has your Link Ad's call-to-action image, text or video Link Add embedded - so when people click any URL you share in social networks, your Link Ad drives targetted traffic to your selected landing page.
How to adjust hashtags and make strategic choices based on the numbers: look for high numbers on hourly Exposure and Retweets vs. low numbers on Uniques. The volume of unique Tweets/hour are your competition and a high number tells you that you have a small chance of getting found through search or getting your post, Tweet or update curated and republished (Instapaper, Paper.li, Scoop.it, Tagboard, Glos.si, etc)
Not covered in the video:
Use the camera icon to upload images or, the pull-down beside the camera to get them from Dropbox.
Click the " button next to the emoji button to create an image/GIF for one of your Image/GIF templates.
The Emoji tool now uses the standard emoji gallery and is the fastest way to get emoji for a post/Tweet on your desktop. Just one of the built-in tools!
Rite.ly: set this up in RiteKit Enhance Settings tab and get highly-customized calls-to-action going on on URLs in your social posts. Rite.ly is your Sniply and Startafire alternative with unlimited Link Ads, and rather than text only, they can be video, image or text Link Ad with full branding, for just $15/month. Rite.ly even has a basic free version, with your login social profile for the Link Ad's CTA target.
JUST ADDED, not in the tutorial videos yet: schedule/publish to unlimited Instagram Business Accounts!
Add IG Business accounts in the RIteKit Dashboard, than you'll generate brilliant IG posts in seconds, schedule to any of your IG Business Accounts in RiteForge site and browser extension and the RiteBoost Bulk Creator automation dashboard:
The RiteForge browser extension provides a one-button social fix: two relevant and reaching hashtags, and when possible, an image, too - and if you opt for the Link Ad rather than bit.ly shortening, pages you share will have your call-to-action on them. That's Enhance. Options include auto-emoji, author attribution and more.
There is also the full toolkit - millions of free to use images, animations, influencer-tagging, emoji, and of course, hashtag analytics and hashtag suggestions - based on those getting current and historical engagement. Just click the return button, top-left of RiteForge Composer, for the tools.
Note that for links shortened with Rite.ly, Facebook and LinkedIn will not accept them. This is beyond our control; FB and LinkedIn are now blocking all short links created of full URLs. So, if using RiteForge, RiteBoost for scheduling posts, we suggest that you do not shorten links for posts you schedule to LinkedIn or Facebook. If just using Rite.ly, even with custom subdomain, please use them in Tweets, emails, IG comments - and everywhere else - just not in FB or LinkedIn.
You can modify and create in the RiteKit Image/GIF Templates tab (you will want to replace our logo with your own logos, which can be different per template) and then, in your master Enhance settings you'll want to select and save either Extract images from links or Create image/GIF from template (and select your default style).
Note that if you're using the extract image option in your default Enhance, if you highlight text and hit the RiteForge browser button, you'll get both the image/GIF quote and the featured image from the URL (when possible), since your default is to extract, but you highlighted text. Just click the X on the image to remove the one you don't want.
Enjoy RiteForge's Composer throughout the RiteForge site and for sharing web pages with the browser extension.
