The most powerful option for syndicating content is to use the SNAP Autoposter. You can read about features on the Nextscripts Website.
You can schedule automatic syndication of new posts to MULTIPLE social accounts (ie more than one Facebook page, more than one Twitter account etc) – this can be spread out over time to increase the ‘footprint’ and lasting value of your posts to different audiences.
You can also manually copy existing posts and pages to revitalize them or engage your social network audience on a particular topic.

Something to keep in mind that Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other social media networks are constantly changing how they function so it is worth following instructions carefully and to check if things work as expected.
