Quuu Promote Reviews

This software, with its language attitude, is unusable for Europe. Only English postings will be accepted.

It's not worth it.

I have used this for years and no longer use it as I used all credits and the cost to buy new credits is astronomical. Furthermore, I also bought the quuu too, but that changed and they only allowed you 2 social accounts. As many have said, it is not really good at tracking and the quality of shares is sub par at best and really delivers mediocre results that do not add up. That being said, I do think they have a great team and Daniel is very personable, but they should have looked after APPSUMO customers better. We have very bad tastes in our mouths as of late.
Missinglettr, which is another appsumo gem, is similar and gives better results whilst not costing a human sacrifice of family members as you lead them to somewhere exciting - the edge of a cliff and ask them to look down with a wry smile on your face. Oops, did i just say that, sorry fam! But seriously, I believe this could be better and entice sumolings more, but it is the aftermath, that will leave a bad taste like a christmas trifle that was left out and gone sour.

Good concept, but dont expect much.

Given that Daniel has responded and mentioned some changes since i last used it. I will buy some credits and re-test and come back with my findings. Never let it be said that i would not be open to change!

Lots of fake clicks and shares and they cannot provide a response about this. that's why 2 starts. Testing one more time before deciding keep or refund.

This platform is a fantastic idea, but my experience early on not so much.

Everyone seems to have the same problems with Quuu:

-The share counts are misleading, as in the reports generated by Quuu are measuring numbers within their own platform. How does that make sense..?
-Extended review time for content submission (Resulting in a fairly ineffective promotion tool)
-I've been left hanging by Quuu support a couple of times, and they literally just stopped responding to user questions/reviews on AppSumo. From my experience, any company with questionable support usually correlates with a questionable product as well.

Gave them 3 stars because this actually is a really cool concept, and could be extremely valuable. So even though it's been pretty lousy so far, I'm keeping my codes in hopes that they can figure it out.

If you need vanity metrics to impress a client, do this. If you ACTUALLY are wanting your content to pick up steam on social, this isn't it.

tl;dr preview -- Quuu isn't very good right now, but you should still stack this.

If you're thinking whether to invest in Quuu Promote during last call, read on. First, I've been using Quuu Promote for a few months. Here's the top level highlights.

✅Friendly and responsive support
✅Easy to use interface
✅Unique concept -- nothing else like it on the market
✅ Great value, in theory

⛔️Lack of verifiable metrics
⛔️No true reporting and analysis
⛔️No ability to export data
⛔️LOOONNNNG wait times to get approved or disapproved

Essentially, you submit articles that meet their criteria. 4-8ish days later, you'll get an email that says it's approved, denied or needs editing. If it's approved, your article essentially gets aggregated into a system where social users can pick up and share your content. In theory, this is a great, win-win service with a sustainable revenue model -- users on both sides are paying, and probably happy with the service. Annndd.... you'll see the numbers. Whoa.... hundreds of shares. Dozens of clicks.

❓Must be working, right ❓

Not necessarily. This is where Quuu kinda falls flat on its face. I've promoted about 20 articles on Quuu so far, and I've manually checked analytics on all of them. That's because, Quuu's current way of tracking leads a lot to be desired. Most of this is out of Quuu's control, but I think there's more than could be done.

Here's a great recent example -- I promoted a piece of content that says it has 100+ shares and 30+ clicks. I also use a third-party link tracker so I can double-verify these stats through Poplink AND through Google Analytics.

What did I find over the last few months?

Well.... there appears to be a huge discrepancy between what Quuu reports and what actually happens. My Poplink and Google Analytics stats are much lower than what Quuu reports. (Also, I've done this with older articles that haven't received any traffic in months as ANOTHER layer of A/B testing)

I understand that there's a certain level of analytics that Quuu can't give because of social media privacy settings. Essentially, you'll be able to manually search Twitter and find some of those shares, but you likely won't find anything on Facebook or LinkedIn, except in the rare case that someone has their privacy set to public, or if someone in your extended network shares it.

Now.... more bad news -- the content that does get shared seems to be junky bot traffic. Granted, I've only verified this is on Twitter, as that's the only "traffic" you can verify. But, out of the few thousands (few hundred on Twitter) of shares my content has gathered, it's only gotten engagement past that TWICE. That means, I've manually checked those hundreds of Twitter shares, and there's literally been only two pieces of content that have gotten a retweet or like from those hundred-plus.
