Yeaahh: My first blog post since 2 month saved me time and will earn me money
Right now I sent out my first story / blog post via Story Chief. On my (new! and personalized) Story Chief blog it looks like that: https://blog.selbstbewusst.eu/ (in German language, so I will not sell you anything besides my experience ;-))
I used to use Zapier to push my YouTube videos to my blog, to Facebook and to Twitter (or posted them myselve to the named directions). But that had not enough "power", and I was not motivated to invest more time.
Now, with my first Story-Chief-Post I reached 6 different platforms at once with included links all pointing to my main blog. And, besides deciding where the included links should point to, I had nothing to do with changing some links in order to have them all pointing to my main goal. That saves a lot of time, is fun and the typical errors one makes by changing those links are gone forever. Gone together with clients on could not gain because of not working links.
Although sharing to Google+ directly is, as far as I know, not yet possible, the included "Google+ sharing Button" helped me to put it to Google+ as well with only one more click.
Publishing the same content with one click to multiple channels and with links (automatically, if choosen) pointing to your main / choosen destination - GREAT, GREAT, GREAT.
Right now there is only one option I searched for (and did not find): Beeing able to copy the in Story Chief written text to use it for my newsletter. But I found a workaround: I took the published post from my WordPress blog and copied that as a newsletter - that worked great.
Although I am writing blog posts since 2000 I had never that much fun to distribute it only by clicking one button (after setting up the choosen channels ONCE) and doing a little bit of SEO work inside of Stoy Chief.
Statistically seen I will earn the 98 $ (of course I bought the full package!) today and with my first "new" post. And tomorrow I will earn some money... ;-)
As a conclusion: In my opinion / after my experience...
* Story Chief is easy to use (where it is more difficult there are greatly written tutorials with pics)
* My motivation to write has skyrocketed again
* My range grows
* While I am writing this review visitors are reading my post (thanks to Google Analytics real-time)
* Finally I will regularly post to my social media channels (through only one click!!!)
* No more logging into each and every social media platform, figure out how to post, do it on this platform in this way and on the other in another way, beeing frustrated of burning my time...
The two context sensitive menues (one for formatting text, the other for including media such as pics, vids...) are time saver as well: No scrolling up or down to find the menu. Just mark a piece of text or hit enter, and the corresponding menu opens right beside the cursor and where your eyes are pointing to in a naturally manner (without beeing forced to search the menu and then to search again the place where you are working right now.
