8 Social Media Scheduling Tool Success Stories [2023]
A social media scheduling tool is an online app that allows you to schedule your social media posts in advance, before publishing them on your social media channels.
Virtually all businesses use social media - this is a great market to build a startup in.
Here are some real life success stories of starting a social media scheduling tool:
1. RecurPost ($420K/year)
Dinesh Agrawal (from Surat, Gujarat, India) started RecurPost almost 7 years ago.
My name is Dinesh and I am the founder of RecurPost. RecurPost is a social media scheduler with repeating schedules.
We have over 26,000 businesses who benefit from using RecurPost. We are currently making $20,000 a month in revenue. Users typically sign up for RecurPost free plan, use it for a few months and then upgrade to our Medium plan.
2. OneUp ($120K/year)
Davis Baer (from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA) started OneUp over 7 years ago.
My name is Davis Baer, and I am the co-founder of OneUp, a social media scheduling tool that helps business make more money and automates time-consuming tasks. OneUp allows you to schedule Google My Business posts, Facebook posts, Instagram posts, Twitter posts (and schedule Twitter threads), as well as schedule LinkedIn posts.
- We have bloggers who create evergreen blog posts (meaning those posts will still be relevant months and years down the road). Before, they would share it once on social media, then just hope that SEO would bring them ongoing traffic. Now, they set their blog posts to repeat every few months, resurfacing the content for anyone who missed it before, and giving it another chance to be shared and take off.
