Storytellit For Social Media

I usually avoid blogging reviews and non-food topics these days but this one’s a little different. The company I work for, Likeable Local, recently launched a new app called storytellit and I’d love to share it with you and get your feedback.

Storytellit is a free social media tool you can use on your desktop or on your phone. It was designed to make social media fun and easy for people who might have a hard time understanding more complex apps like Hootsuite or Buffer.

We give you content or prompts to post with the click of a button while making sure it stays personal and relevant. Using the app is extremely simple; you can break it down into 4 steps:

  1. Sign up and link your Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and LinkedIn accounts.
  2. Pick a post or prompt and fill in the blank.
  3. Choose what accounts to send it to.
  4. Schedule it to post later or right away.

Besides using a premade post, you can also write your own and upload a photo using the app. For every action you do, you get points and unlock badges that are meant to guide people less familiar with social media towards good practices in a fun and easy way.

Signing up is free. All you have to do is submit your email address and you’ll get a password sent to you. There are currently 11 small business professions with content you can opt in on but there’s plenty of general content for anyone to use, too.

Now for the nitty-gritty disclosure: We’re having an in-office competition to see who can get the most people to sign up and use the app. All of the sign-up links I shared are tracking links that give me points in the competition. But at the end of the day I’m sharing it because I think it’s a great app that will only get better with more people using it. I’d love for you to sign up, try it out, and if you have any suggestions send us feedback in the comment box on how we can make it better.

    The app seems cool! Social media is a living, breathing beast (err, a fun beast). I’m just now hearing about Buffer for the first time.

    The idea is not bad but it needs finetuning. I tend to find premade posts uninteresting: they usually lack personality and hence do not perform well to engage your customers. “Fill in the blank” posts, or posts prompting people to “like”, “comment”, and such childish orders, are also as a bit forced, un-natural and a bit moronic if your target customers are not teenagers.
