How do I start with PostMimic Free?
Create an account, import/connect real posts, get up to 30 free generations once you connect X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, or WordPress—on phone, web, or desktop. Free is enough to prove whether history-trained drafts sound like you before you commit to more volume or automation.
What Free includes
PostMimic Free is a capped, full-loop trial of the product—not a watered-down demo that stops at “generate text.” For how Free compares to paid tiers, see PostMimic Free vs paid plans.
Typical Free scope:
- An account you can use on phone, web, or desktop independently
- Import or connect so the system can learn from real posts (writing voice, not audio)
- Up to 30 free generations once you connect X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, or WordPress
- Brand rules on every post
Up to 30 free generations once you connect X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, or WordPress is enough to test the voice on the networks you actually use. Pair that with a practical first week on PostMimic if you want a day-by-day rhythm. The point is proof, not a month of calendar fill.
Free does not invent engagement stats, featured images, or a “beta” waitlist. You either get drafts that look like your history or you do not—and you decide with your eyes.
Create your account
Sign up at https://postmimic.app. Pick the surface you actually use:
- Phone — when you draft between meetings
- Web — when you want a full browser workspace
- Desktop — when you prefer a native Mac/Windows app
You do not need to “train on phone then finish only on web.” Each surface can run the same Free loop on its own. Use whichever device you have when you have twenty focused minutes.
Keep the account under your control (or under one named owner on a team). Shared logins make review ownership fuzzy later.
Import or connect real posts
Voice quality comes from examples you already published, not from a bio line or “write like a witty founder” prompt.
Two common starts:
- Import an archive — export or upload past posts so the profile can learn vocabulary, structure, humor, and perspective.
- Connect a channel — pull recent history from an account you control so training stays tied to live posting.
Either path beats starting from a blank tone slider. Stay with formats your product actually supports; if you are unsure whether a given export type works, use the in-app import path rather than inventing a pipeline.
Good Free training material:
- Posts you wrote yourself (or closely edited)
- Enough variety to show hooks, lists, stories, and CTAs you actually use
- One identity per profile (personal vs company, founder vs product brand)
Skip dumping three ghostwriters’ styles into one profile and hoping for a coherent “you.”
Generate
With a profile in place:
- Connect X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, or WordPress.
- Pick a platform and a clear intent (one buyer question or one update).
- Generate in the trained writing voice.
- A schedule publishes on the times you set.
That is the whole Free curriculum. You are testing fit, not burning credits on volume. Writing-voice cloning is not audio deepfakes—you are matching how you write, not synthesizing speech.
If draft one feels generic, improve the archive or tighten the prompt (topic + angle), then spend draft two on a better sample. Do not spend the free generations on the same weak source set.
Schedule or publish
When the schedule is set:
- Publish now to a connected channel, or
- Schedule for later so cloud publishing can fire when you are offline
Facebook support is for Pages, not personal timelines—connect the Page you actually manage. LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and Facebook Page posts should still be rewritten for each network’s shape even when the idea is shared.
WordPress Connect tip: if you publish to a site that only matches existing categories, use the exact WordPress category name or Uncategorized. Tags in the app are for your own labeling; they do not invent WP categories.
When to upgrade (soft)
Stay on Free while you are answering: “Does this sound like me enough to keep going?” Upgrade when you need more than those free generations, more profiles, heavier scheduling, Agent Mode, on the Mac app, handles replies and engagement only. It does not draft or publish posts.
You do not need to upgrade to learn the loop. You need to upgrade when Free’s ceiling becomes the bottleneck—not when a landing page says so.
