Updated April 1, 2022
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.
Getting started
Start a trial with the button below RiteKit Package (or hit "Upgrade" in our site and the button's below RiteKit Package). There is no upfront credit card authorization. No tricks, no obligation. If you do not choose the continue with the Package, the trials just expire. No need to even cancel.
However you registered, you have your basic login: email, Twitter or Facebook. (If you registered with Buffer, please add an additional login; we'll be removing Buffer login in time.)
If you do not wish to share the login credentials to the existing RiteKit login with your team, in Settings, add an additional Twitter or Facebook account. It could be a personal social profile of a colleague or even a newly-made Twitter/Facebook account that you create and share credentials for, just for RiteKit login.
What to do:
With RiteKit open in one browser tab, open another browser tab and log out of Twitter or Facebook. In the new tab, then log in with the Twitter/Facebook account you wish to add.
Back in your RiteKit tab, hit the + under Twitter or Facebook Login.
Use the Allow for login button to make the newly-added Twitter or Facebook account.
Finally, set up scheduling times per social profile added with the calendar icon beside each social profile in Settings.
Remember to always login to RiteKit with one of the social profiles or email you have set for login. (It is not possible to add emails for login.)
Not only can you share your RiteKit Package with your team, but if you have clients/partners that you would like to create and schedule social posts for, just get their Twitter/FB login credentials and add their accounts in Settings.
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:
If you wish to use Rite.ly to place your advertisement on pages you share to Facebook as well as the other social networks, you will need to use a custom domain. What to do: get the Package yearly or monthly, then chat to us on the site and tell us how many custom domains you need. They are US$10/month. You can use a custom domain with as many newly-created Link Ads as you like.
We recommend that you first see the custom domain help page first; you will need to own a domain and use a subdomain that is doing nothing else as your Rite.ly custom domain. You will need custom domain if you wish to send posts with your Link Ads on the URLs to Facebook. Also, you will need to re-do your Link Ads and you will need to delete scheduled posts that were made before you started using the custom domain. You will also need to write us and let us know that we need to get your Rite.ly custom domain whitelisted, after you set it up.
B. Integrate content sources you rely on, such as Feedly, Evernote, Pocket, Slack, etc. in Integrations.
C. Keep clients' followers connected with your company or your client's brand (or just plain sell) when followers click URLs in posts.
Use the rite.ly shortener as the default domain or replace it with your custom domain, and get your choice of Link Ads added to URLs you share.
It could be to get blog visitors, get exposure for an event, premarket your startup... Or, to market your software - as we do!
To see what we mean, click this to open one of our Tweets . Now, click the Rite.ly URL in the Tweet and you'll see us advertising Rite.ly on that blog post.
For any client for which a Link Ad on links is not desired, use bit.ly for your shortener (Integrations).
Click Link Ads in the top menu and set up one or more Link Ads.
Be sure to replace the Rite.ly branding with each of your clients' logos. This alone is unavailable in Snip.ly until the $149/month tier.
For clients who do not want a Link Ad displayed on URLs shared in their posts, but do want to track those who have had contact with their content, use the invisible Link Ad option.
D. Template your visuals with your branding and clients' branding. Check your Image/GIF Templates in RiteKit. The RiteKit style is an example. Create an Image/GIF Template per client, always with their logo.
E. Craft your default Enhance Preset: images, auto-hashtagging, replace text, append (it all makes sense when you see it). Your Enhance, your way determines your success in social.
F. Set up your global Image/GIF Templates. You can easily modify your Enhance rules and make alternate Enhances for use from the RiteBoost browser extension included, but it will save time if you set your default Enhance rules first.
Enhance: built into RiteForge and RiteBoost, it does six minutes of social post crafting in 2 seconds. You'll see many ways to save time with the Auto-hashtag, Extract image / Create Image/GIF Template options, Shorten link (with or without Link Ad) and Append options. You will soon rely on your default Enhance Preset, so check what we start you with, set your default Link Ad, and save.
G. Automatically import content and create perfectly optimized posts and entire social presences for your business and of each of your clients' businesses
Click Enhance at the top of our site, then open Bulk Creator, lower-left.
Click +New Formula to start building your first RiteBoost Formula. Each Formula starts with a content Source (choose from 14, each with options) and lets you modify your global Enhance rules for each Formula. Remember to add social profiles to schedule to, select Repeat (and frequency, etc.) if the Source is evergreen, and save.
In ON mode, everything from a Formula gets your Enhance rules applied and then is added to the queue(s) of the social profile(s) designated in the Formula.
Start with OFF and Reload whenever you visit your RiteBoost Dashboard. You can then select posts, Enhance, and click in any posts that need customization. Click on words/hashtags for buttons that help with hashtags, images, GIFs, influencers to tag or click the down arrow to modify a single-use Enhance.
Instagram only allows third-party app customers to schedule up to 25 posts/day. You may thus need to reduce some posts if you have more than this number scheduled.
When you have time...
Check out all the visual refinements possible for Rite.ly Link Ads, even including the icon to the left of the Link Ad button (see the Design tab, once you click the pencil button to edit a Link Ad from your Rite.ly dashboard).
Rite.ly offers many tracking options for Facebook ads, Adwords, etc., and even takes Google Tag Manager IDs (see the Tracking tab in a Link Ad that you're editing). They're each unique to the Link Ad so you can be tracking affiliate marketing data or building a Facebook tracking pixel for a future Facebook ads custom audience, or do tens of other things.
Connected social profiles and all settings for Image/GIF Templates, Enhance, Integrations, Scheduling preferences and RiteBoost Bulk Creator Formulas are saved for as long as you keep your RiteKit product subscriptions active.
Looks like a lot to learn?
Not really. Once you get your social profiles added and scheduling times set, make a Link Ad and a couple Formulas, you will automate away the social post refinements that you've done (or should be doing). A little time spent for set up is about to save you hours/week for years to come.
Use our knowledge base from any RiteKit page you're on: just hit your avatar and select Help . It's divided by tool and is highly searchable. There are well over 150 tutorials on the using RiteKit product features and using the products together and we update them frequently.
The RiteKit Youtube Channel is zero-fluff, all education.
