ContentCal Reviews

There are so many good things to say about ContentCal. For Twitter, it's amazing - as you can repurpose content very easily - it finds the Twitter @handles easily, when you type them in, it offers some audience analytics - when they are most online - which is v. helpful since Twitter dropped that. It's fantastic for the approvals process with clients - I'm not brilliant at planning very far ahead, so it's just good to know that clients can quickly check / comment and approve content. There are some areas I've not utilised enough - like saving hashtag groups for Instagram. I'll work on that! I also love the fact you can colour code your different streams of content so you know that it's well balanced. You can keep things on the 'pinboard' so 'ideas dump' very easily. Also note any key awareness days. I feel it avoids having TOO many different tools to work with - minimising dependence on Trello, for instance. I like the fact you've got a Preview Button too - so that you can see exactly what your post will look like. Also, customer service is incredible - instant responses!

Couple of minor things – with Twitter posts, you can only @mention up to three accounts in a tweet, so if you're doing a big tagging Tweet, you have to go back to Twitter itself to post. With LinkedIn I don't find the @handles come up so easily when I type them in. I think the Posts Library wasn't working so well when I last used it - but hopefully that's now sorted.

Time management! And juggling different clients. It just makes it so easy to manage that process of getting ideas to then finished posts ready to go out. I did, though, accidentally upload a post to the wrong client profile once!! Whoops! It didn't go out - but bizarre that happened!
