Launched yet another Social Media Manager Tool

Yes! I know... Yet another social media scheduler? It is a saturated space. I know that too.

As a product marketing professional, I have always had the passion to build my own tool that would help me do a lot more than I could, manually. So I nurtured the dream of building one since 2015.

Finally, a lot happened to me in the past 2 years, culminating in the loss of my day job back in March this year. Then 2 failed startup businesses in quick succession, one a pivot of the first though...

I then decided to work on Postly, my Social Media Manager as I fondly call it.

I have tried in so many ways to differentiate from the competition by towing the line of AI as well as being more open and generous in the allocation of the key elements - unlimited team members, unlimited scheduled posts, unlimited social media accounts, and 8 social media platforms so far integrated (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google My business (these 4 are going through FB and Google audit process currently, though advanced in discussions and tests), then Twitter, Pinterest, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

I was lucky to discover a genius of a developer, who could literally do anything, and above all, was very "mild to my pocket." Also, my brother who is an active dev has helped tremendously.

In summary, I am now at a crossroads, swim or sink kind of situation - having spent over 80% of the severance package and practically praying this works out so I can even immigrate to the UK.

While I have drawn a lot of support, motivation, and encouragement from this group. I have also learned a whole lot from here, both in terms of business and soft skills.

I have also been busy doing a few stuff as much as I can on the marketing side of stuff -
-Facebook PPC
-AppSumo LTD self-listing (the Select program comes with only 25% rev share and some conditions for selection - your app has to earn 1000$ in any random 5 days, and get 20 4 star reviews etc.)
-Have also been talking to other LTD marketplaces to see if i can raise some quick revenue, which is very much needed at this time.

Please help me "swim" and not "sink". I would greatly appreciate any support - review and give feedback, sign up free and give feedback on the dashboard, share to a friend or business who needs such service etc. All, I promise is to give an excellent customer experience in the delivery of this service.

Will be updating you on the progress and lessons.

    Hi @paul_onu congrats on the launch.
    I got to know of your offer through Appsumo.

    The content aproval seems like a great feature, usuallly lacking in new tools to enter the market.

    The roadmap link above is broken, I'll leave it here in case anyone wants to check it out https://trello.com/b/B4Ud3lUC/postly-public-roadmap.

    To your success!
