Combined across 2 auto-crossposts on TikTok. Every number is real and links to the live posts below.
The problem: great posts, one audience
Like most creators, Detroit has a home platform they actually enjoy posting on: Instagram. The trouble with picking one platform is that your reach is capped by that platform's audience. The exact same post that lands on Instagram could find an entirely new audience on TikTok, but only if it's actually there. Manually re-posting the same content to every platform, every day, is the kind of chore that quietly never gets done.
The setup: connect once, post once
Detroit connected Instagram as the origin and turned on TikTok as a target. That's the whole setup. From then on, Detroit just posts on Instagram like always. Ferryman watches for each new post, adapts it to every target platform's format and character limits, and publishes it everywhere. No copying, no pasting, no second app to remember.
The results: 58.1K+ views with zero extra effort
Several of those automatic crossposts didn't just match the original. They took off on their own. Here are the actual posts, each one ferried automatically from Instagram:
Instagram → TikTok“@morelias_italian_fried_chicken is a spot everyone needs to try immediately”
Instagram → TikTok“Babylon Ethnic Foods in West Bloomfield is a one of a kind grocery store with all types of Middle Eastern cuisine!!!”
Why it works
The insight is simple: the marginal cost of being on another platform should be zero. Instagram is where Detroit writes, but the audiences on TikTok are completely different people, and they'll never see content that isn't in front of them. By making distribution automatic, Ferryman turns one post into reach across every network at once. A post that would have only ever reached Detroit's Instagram audience found 58.1K+ additional views somewhere else, for no additional work.
That's the whole pitch: post once, reach everywhere. You keep the workflow you already have and Ferryman quietly multiplies its reach in the background.
