How to put "Weekly Industry News" content on autopilot
This is a "Set it & forget it" type of system.
Hey there!
I've been hearing from so many of you lately about the struggle to keep up with social media while running your business. And trust me, I get it!
There are days when I can barely find time to eat lunch, let alone write the next “quick” LinkedIn post.
That's why I wanted to share a really practical automation I've built that might be helpful for those weeks when you're absolutely swamped with other work.
The "Weekly Industry News" autopilot system
I've created this complete social media automation that:
Researches the latest news in your industry (automatically)
Writes a mini-newsletter style post with the most valuable insights
Creates a branded image with your face for better engagement (like this one)
Posts everything to LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram on schedule
Once you set it up, it runs completely on its own.
How it works
The system uses Make.com to connect several powerful tools:
Perplexity AI searches for the freshest industry news (less than 7 days old)
Claude AI transforms those findings into a valuable, well-formatted post
Another Claude module creates a shorter bullet-point version for the image
Placid.app puts together a branded image with your face and the key points
The complete post is then sent to your social platforms
When it's done, you get professional-looking posts like this one that went live on my Facebook page:
NB: My honest disclaimer
I need to be totally upfront about something: while this system is amazing for busy weeks, I personally wouldn't recommend running it 100% hands-off permanently.
This is your personal brand we're talking about!
I always prefer to review what's going out under my name, even if I didn't have to write it from scratch.
The ideal way to use this is as a draft-generator that you can quickly review before posting. This gives you the best of both worlds - massive time savings plus quality control.
Want to set this up yourself?

By the way, if you want to see how to use your Placid subscription for other content too, I have another video showing how to create LinkedIn carousels on autopilot with the same tools.
Let me know if you try this out! I'd love to hear how it works for you.
