I recently discovered a way to post (automatically) from WordPress to Sina Weibo 微博(China’s version of twitter, which has more than half a billion users!)
The trick is to use IFTTT.com (If this then that).
Steps:
1) Setup up publicize for WordPress to Twitter. (WordPress.com can do this automatically).
2) Go to IFTTT.com, and set up a recipe from Twitter to Weibo. (There is a premade template for that, takes less than 5 minutes to sign up)
Done!
There may be a way for WordPress –> Weibo direct posting, I am still researching on that. (Update: Yes, there is a recipe for direct WordPress –> Weibo too!) It depends on whether you want a short summary, in which case WordPress –> Twitter –> Weibo may suit you better. If you want a full text, then WordPress –> Weibo is great. Or, you can use both!
Hope it is helpful!

I don’t have a Weibo account. Do I need to sign up an account at Weibo first or would signing up at IFTTT.com would automatically create a Weibo account for me?
Also, is it difficult to gain followers in Weibo if I don’t post contents in Chinese?
Thanks.

Hi, you would need to sign up an account at Weibo first. I think a good percentage of the half billion Chinese would know English, it’s worth a try! The IFTTT can post to reddit and digg too, it’s an amazing website.

Ah yes, it’s really worth a try. WordPress isn’t blocked in China, right? haha.
I receive quite a good traffic from Reddit though others advised me that digg is not that popular anymore.

WordPress.com sites are blocked in China sadly 😦
If you have a custom domain it’s not blocked. There’s a considerable number of Taiwanese and HK people using Weibo too.

That’s what I though.
I would try it anyway.

Reddit seems to be quite strict on self-promotion. I submitted a few of my own links and got shadow banned. How do you promote your site on Reddit?
Good luck with IFTTT!

I have been using Reddit for a few years now and I’m quite active there. So, maybe, I have more leeway but of course, I’m not sure. So far, I haven’t been shadow banned in Reddit though.
