Hot take: that $500 'automated' social media scheduler was a total waste for my shop
Honestly, I bought into the hype last fall about needing to automate everything. This tool promised to analyze trends and post for me, saving 10 hours a week. Tbh, it was a nightmare. It kept posting weird, off-brand stuff at 3 AM, like a serious business quote next to a meme about cats. I lost two regular customers who were confused by the feed, and I'm pretty sure it hurt my engagement. I spent more time fixing its mistakes than I ever did scheduling posts myself in the old way. Ngl, I shut it off after a month and just ate the cost. Has anyone else found a simple, reliable way to handle social media without these 'smart' tools going rogue?
