Set and Forget Magic!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am a heavy SocialBee user. We use it for our own social media management as well as for our clients. The features are complete with all the essentials that we need. The most commonly used are the RSS feeds, evergreen content posting, and the categorized scheduler. It's a totally set-and-forget platform.

Pros

  • All major social platforms are available.
  • Posts can be organized per category, per client.
  • Hashtag organizer.
  • Links manager, with integrations to popular link shortener tools (we use Switchy, and it works smoothly)

Cons

  • Though it's not clunky, it can improve on the loading speeds while working.
  • The UI/UX can be further improved (nice and neat instead of big cards especially on the categories page)
  • I would love it if the scheduler can be expanded into 2-weeks or monthly range. So we can post categories that are on a 2x a month and 1x a month frequency.

Return on Investment

  • It provides us higher margin because it requires minimal resources.
  • Lesser working time means more marketing and leads generation time.
  • Very cost efficient solution.
