SocialRails - Create content, post everywhere

Reach more people, grow your audience, and save time.

By MattPublished 5 months ago 3 min read

Hey everyone! 👋

So, I've been building a social media scheduler.

Yes, I hear you... another one ;)

I still want to talk about it since I solved some issues I've had with other tools.

It's called SocialRails.

The things that always bothered me with tools like Buffer or Later:

1. The lack of a good UX (which always led me to stop using these tools after a day or two).

2. Not being able to switch and manage multiple brands/workspaces (always costing way more than stated on the pricing tables, which leads me to the next point).

3. No transparent pricing (take Buffer for example, you initially think: *$*5? Wow, that's cheap! Yeah, until you start adding channels and end up paying $45/month just to schedule to 9 platforms).

In comparison, with my app SocialRails, you pay $14/month and can connect up to 27 channels (9x3 workspaces).

4. No automations or short-form content creation (which my app does provide).

There's some other stuff too, like being able to manage posts on the go, which I solved by making it mobile-friendly.

Revenue-wise, it's not been a big explosion, but that's okay with me as long as I'm making something that helps people.

(Of course, money is part of it, and it would be great to see it grow into something bigger than what it currently is. I think I should increase the prices a bit, just because it can feel too cheap to be good right now, what do you think?)

I'm fundamentally a builder, but I'm starting to learn marketing, also the reason I built this platform, to help with my own marketing problems.

Recently, I've been getting a lot of positive messages from people who like it, and that really means the world to me.

The fact that you build something a complete stranger sees the same value in is just amazing.

If you want to check it out for yourself, you can try a 3-day trial for $1 (to prevent fraud).

Let me know your honest thoughts and suggestions!

For marketing the app, here's what I did and what I would suggest:

Try many different things.

Try PSEO

Try building in public

Try cold emails, use something like https://smartlead.ai

Try cold DMs, use https://xreacher.com

Try social media, use my app for example: https://socialrails.com

Try affiliate marketing, you can use https://affonso.io

Try commenting & posting on Reddit

Once you see some good results, double down on that.

And iterate, iterate, and iterate.

Don't expect instant results

Now, here's a more descriptive overview of SocialRails:

Cross-post to 9 social media platforms.

Reach more people, grow your audience, and save time.

With SocialRails:

- Schedule posts to 9 platforms

- Generate short-form videos

- Switch between 25 workspaces

- Automated recurring posts

- Mobile friendly dashboard

- Generate short-form content

Without SocialRails:

- Hours spent copying and pasting content

- Constant switching between accounts

- Password management nightmare

- Easy to mix up brand accounts

- No unified content calendar

What makes this different from other schedulers:

- Better UX

- Mobile Friendly

- Ability to generate short-form content

- Cheaper when you need to connect a lot of accounts ($19/month for 27 connections)

- Ability to setup auto-recurring posts

- Post quality checks to see how you can improve your posts

- Automatically optimize posts for each platform with one click

- Daily post ideas (specifically for your business / brand)

- Automatically resizes & adjusts your images

- Posting to X communities
