You can do it by manually posting, IFTTT, or Zapier.
Regarding duplicate content and SEO, LinkedIn, and Medium articles are indexed by search engines.

Is it possible to syndicate a wordpress to linkedin "articles"?

Hey Nathan,
With Medium you can use the import tool
https://medium.com/p/import
And this will obviously import the entire article from WordPress to Medium, plus it will also include the canonical tag which shows that the "original" article was published on WordPress.
As this is "syndicating with a canonical tag" it is NOT considered duplicate content (in reality, I don't think most folks are that clear on "duplicate content", as you can syndicate your content to various sites without any issues, and this is often seen by the same article ranking on 3-4 different search results on different domains. For me "duplicate content" is simply having the exact same content on the SAME domain, but on different urls. The thing that most people worry/talk about is "copied content", just out-and-out stealing someone else's content, so I wouldn't even worry about "not indexing" the WordPress posts).
As for LinkedIn, there are a few "autopublishing" WP to LinkedIn plugins, but they unfortunately all show as a status update (the same as if you shared via your social media plugin) rather than an actual LinkedIn article.
But, Yes, you're thinking correctly, one of the main things that many SEOs are doing since the latest round of algorithm updates is parasite SEO, typically using the authority of sites such as Linkedin, Medium, and Reddit.
(I'm currently testing some Blackhat product reviews on a private Reddit subreddit I'm a member of - write review, purchase upvotes and comments, purchase "dirty" fiverr backlinks to point at the subreddit threads, wait, add affiliate links 10-15 days later, and watch the SERPs, Hahaha!! Well, if Google is going to rank all these UGC sites might as well take advantage, LOL).

In 2011, when I first started learning about content marketing my mentor taught me that piggybacking off of authority sites is a great way to speed up the process getting traffic, leads, and sales. It takes very little extra effort as opposed to build out new content ideas from scratch.
He taught me to repurpose my articles and submit them to sites like DocStoc, SlideShare, etc. The authority sites that work today seem to be Medium, LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube videos, and Facebook videos.
It is certainly a different path as opposed to pursuing PPC traffic. The concept worked then, and it is still working now!
Yep, prior to that we were "piggybacking" off EzineArticles, Squidoo, Hubpages, etc.
Funnily enough, I believe Kyle ran an experiment on StreetArticles back then too, he did have a WA blog post a few years back in the initial WA training about using StreetArticles to rank his "Organic Milk" article.
But sure, I remember using DocStoc and Slideshare too.
It's funny you mention 2011, that's what the current SERPs remind me of, just before Panda and Penguin hit... perhaps a clue that there are more "big things" going to happen this year.

Going into February, I was hoping to work on some more articles with the new article designer, but the credits have not refreshed. Do you know when they are supposed to refill?
you will get a message from Kyle when they are refreshed - you always have the option to buy some credits if you run out...
as others have said it is the join date - check your subscription for the date in account settings...
I don't think that is correct, because my join date is the 24th of the month, but I only have 1500 credits going into February. I haven't used it that much since then.
If that's the case, you may want to message Kyle to let him know.
In the future, you will know exactly when your account will be topped up. (A UX thing)
For information about paid top-ups, read here. Does the word credits rest if I bought them?

My go-to WordPress theme, Acabado, hasn't been working for some reason. I heard that one of the most popular alternatives is GeneratePress. Have you had a good experience with
Excellent. Overly happy :)
However, I got to use Blocksy Agency. I also have others, such as Divi, Oxygen, and CrocoBlock.
Also, you have FANTASTIC responses here; kindly let us know if you need additional assistance.
Hi, Nathan
I use GeneratePress Premium and it’s awesomely fast and easy to configure.
The premium version comes with a site library of theme templates to build a site for anything; blogging, eCommerce, you name it!
I recommend you give the free version a try and then you can purchase premium if you like it.
Try it out on a staging site first, in case it makes changes that you don’t want.

I have used it with no issues. While it may be more of a basic theme, for me, it works...but for others it may not -- all depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

GeneratePress is actually one of the most (if not THE most) feature-packed themes on the market. It's only "basic" initially, but through hooks, elements, SiteLibrary, etc, you can do anything.
true to that, although I struggle with the elements thing haha. But that's because I don't put a lot of time into it I guess. The possibilities are great indeed.

Interesting. I never thought of doing this. I may try some of the suggestions you have been given. Have you decided what you’re going to do?

It's your website and you can do anything you like. However, a review of a product totally unrelated to your niche could confuse visitors and reduce trust. Unless you can tie them together somehow.
if it is of interest to your niche and related yes - otherwise ideally not ...
why not create a 'anything else' site - either siterubix or a domain you buy ...
then all these things can go onto there...
I would not; I would keep all elements relevant to the niche. Why not do a landing page for it?
Can a review a product on my website that doesn't follow the niche I chose?
