Jill Anderson Builds Custom WordPress Websites and Markets on LinkedIn
Solo custom WordPress and WooCommerce practice
New York, USA
Jill Anderson’s RecurPost case study includes a detailed report of Jill Lynn Design’s custom WordPress and WooCommerce website development and maintenance services workflow. Jill Anderson writes website blogs for her business and markets her online course, Client Onboarding Toolkit, on LinkedIn.
She is a one-person brand who does all the work, from website development to social media marketing. Both types of work take time. For example, a blog post on how to brief a website or what a new development project costs stays useful for more than a year. Her regular website visitors see these blogs on the day they are uploaded. Her blogs include important information that stays relevant for years, but her posting window provides a small fraction of one-day visibility. This mismatch sets the course for the case study. Jill Anderson does not have a second person to post on her socials while she develops custom websites.

Jill Anderson set up 2 of RecurPost’s publishing workflow features:
Blog-Feed-to-LinkedIn Automated Content Posting
Jill Anderson uses RecurPost to schedule and automate posts from her blog feed to her Facebook, LinkedIn and X profiles for Jill Lynn Design. RecurPost reads any connected public RSS or Atom feed and adds each new item to a selected content library through Content Curation. Jill copy-pasted her blog feed’s URL into RecurPost once, and RecurPost publishes new articles from it. Check the full setup on the page for importing posts using an RSS feed.
Content Library to Segment Blogs, Digital Courses and Free Guides
Jill Anderson uses RecurPost’s content library to segment her content into different types and post it at the best times. She created libraries for her website blogs, a free guide she offers on her website to encourage newsletter signups, and a digital course she sells called Client Onboarding Toolkit. Jill Anderson approves or rejects every imported post before it is added to any of her content libraries. She rewrites the captions for imported posts before publishing with the Generate Caption with AI option. RecurPost gives her the Move new posts to top of the Queue setting to publish her newest articles first. Jill Anderson gets the approval step on RecurPost before library addition, not before publishing. The posts she approved are uploaded when she doesn’t even sign in.
Where Does Jill Anderson Save Her Posts in RecurPost
Jill Anderson’s RecurPost case study highlights that her approved posts are saved in a specific RecurPost content library on a repeat schedule for her website blogs, a free guide she offers on her website to encourage newsletter signups, and a digital course she sells called Client Onboarding Toolkit. Jill Anderson claims that she scheduled her posts with RecurPost once and forgot it while the tool kept publishing at the best time to post.

Who this RecurPost Setup Fits, and Who it Does Not
Review whether this particular RecurPost setup supports your business workflow or not.
- 1 person who does client work and writes marketing copy themselves
- When a content source for social media and website is blogs that need to publish on their own
- Solo designers, developers, copywriters and consultants who work with 1 or 2 channels instead of 5 or 6
- A freelancer or small agency that manages clients’ blogs; 1 blog feed per content library
- Teams where more than 1 person drafts and approves posts together, which needs collaboration and approval features beyond Jill Anderson’s workflow
- Clients who need to import a private or paywalled feed with RecurPost
- Brands that write posts per platform without repost do not get noticeable benefits
RecurPost does not create content but only extends the online life of content that exists. Jill Anderson still needs to write new blogs to let the RSS feed import new articles and schedule them to her LinkedIn profile from RecurPost.
RecurPost social media management software publishes posts across 10 networks and supports social inbox, approval workflows and reports for a client base bigger than 1 blog page and 1 profile.

Jill Anderson RecurPost Case Study FAQs
Common questions about the Jill Anderson RecurPost case study:
How many RSS feeds does a RecurPost plan include?
RecurPost includes RSS feeds on its Personal plan and above. The Personal plan costs $25 per month and includes 2 feeds. The Agency plan costs $79 per month and includes 20 feeds. Starter costs $9 per month and includes none, so a Starter user adds feeds at $10 per feed per month.
Can RecurPost import from a private or paywalled blog feed?
No, RecurPost does not import from a private or paywalled blog feed. It imports from public RSS and Atom feeds only. RecurPost cannot connect to a private or paywalled feed, so a members-only blog cannot use this workflow. Check if your feed URL loads in a browser without a login before you connect it.
Does a blog post imported into RecurPost publish more than once?
Yes, a blog post imported into RecurPost publishes more than once only if it is saved in a content library with a repeating schedule. A post scheduled as a one-time item publishes once and leaves the queue. A post held in a recurring library goes out again on its schedule without being re-entered.
What happens to a RecurPost schedule during a week the owner never signs in?
Posts already approved into a RecurPost content library keep publishing on their schedule during a week the owner never signs in. New items arriving from the connected feed wait in Content Curation until someone approves them, so the schedule keeps running while the queue stops being topped up.
