1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,160
Okay. So jumping into social media, um, it can feel a bit like you're trying to

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,840
conduct a massive orchestra, right?

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,680
Yeah, that's a good way to put it.

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,760
So many platforms, so many things to keep track of exactly.

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,280
Like trying to post consistently, actually engage with people on Facebook,

6
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:17,400
Insta, Tik TOK.

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,560
It's a, it's a lot.

8
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:20,600
It really is.

9
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:25,320
Especially if you're just starting out, it can feel pretty overwhelming.

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:25,760
Yeah.

11
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,520
Overwhelming is the word you're juggling, not just where to post, but what and

12
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,520
when, and that's where tools designed to simplify things can be a real, you

13
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,440
know, game changer, especially for beginners.

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:37,760
Right.

15
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,600
And that brings us to posties.

16
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,520
We've been, uh, digging into what it offers, looking at their GitHub, their

17
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,760
website, and it seems really geared towards taking that pressure off.

18
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:47,280
Totally.

19
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,360
Particularly for beginners.

20
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,000
We saw reviews saying things like very easy to use, easy to navigate,

21
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,400
simple UI and awesome interface.

22
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:54,840
Yeah.

23
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,400
Those kinds of comments pop up a lot.

24
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,760
So today we're doing a deep dive.

25
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,200
We want to figure out what post is actually does and how it helps make

26
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,120
social media management simpler for you.

27
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:04,680
Sounds good.

28
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,960
And just before we jump in, this deep dive is brought to you

29
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:09,400
with the support of safe server.

30
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,800
Safe server provides hosting for this software and supports

31
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,120
your digital transformation.

32
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,640
You can find more info at www.safeserver.de.

33
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:18,960
Okay.

34
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:20,760
So posties, let's get into it.

35
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,760
At its core.

36
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,760
Um, it's a social media scheduling tool, scheduling tool.

37
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,520
So like planning ahead.

38
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,480
Exactly.

39
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,840
Think of it like, uh, mapping out your posts for the week or even the month.

40
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,280
Instead of scrambling to post something every single day, you decide what you

41
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,000
want to share when you want it to go live.

42
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,960
And then, well, posties handles the publishing automatically.

43
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:43,240
Okay.

44
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:44,080
Let me get this straight.

45
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,360
So instead of constantly hopping between say Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, all

46
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,320
day, you could just block out some time, maybe once a week, plan everything

47
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,720
in posties and schedule it.

48
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,280
Precisely.

49
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,320
That's the idea.

50
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,160
It saves you a ton of time, obviously.

51
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,240
But it also helps you stay consistent and consistency is, well, it's really

52
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,320
important for the algorithms on these platforms.

53
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,720
It signals you're active, right?

54
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,600
Which helps more people actually see your stuff over time.

55
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,720
Exactly.

56
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,320
It helps build that momentum.

57
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,160
And it's not just scheduling to one place.

58
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,720
Is it that cross posting thing sounds incredibly useful?

59
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,480
Oh, definitely.

60
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,000
That's a huge part of its appeal.

61
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,800
They list support for see Facebook, Instagram threads, LinkedIn, TikTok,

62
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,720
YouTube, Reddit, Dribbble, and Pinterest.

63
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,880
That's quite a list.

64
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,880
It is.

65
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:37,400
Imagine crafting one great post and then boom, scheduling it across most,

66
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,160
if not all of those relevant channels.

67
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,160
Without manually uploading it everywhere.

68
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:41,480
Right.

69
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:42,960
Saves so much repetitive work.

70
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,800
It's a massive efficiency win.

71
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:45,520
I can see that.

72
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,640
Especially when you're starting out and trying to get your name out

73
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:50,120
there on different platforms.

74
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:50,520
For sure.

75
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,640
Now, sometimes you do want to tweak the message a bit for each platform.

76
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:55,320
You know, tailor it slightly.

77
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,200
Yeah, makes sense.

78
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,760
Different audiences, different formats.

79
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:58,280
Exactly.

80
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,240
But just having that central hub to create and then push content out.

81
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,680
It's a huge advantage when you're managing multiple online communities.

82
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:06,120
Okay.

83
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,560
So scheduling and cross posting are sorted, but then there's the what

84
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,560
to post problem staring at a blank page.

85
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,160
The dreaded blank page.

86
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:14,400
Yeah.

87
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,680
It looks like Posties tries to help there too with AI.

88
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,320
They mentioned a bunch of AI and an AI content assistant.

89
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,160
They're integrating AI, not just for management, but for

90
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,560
the actual creation part.

91
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,280
How so?

92
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,240
Well, they have an AI image tool.

93
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,440
They say it's sort of like Canva.

94
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,320
Oh, okay.

95
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,640
For making visuals easier.

96
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:32,080
Right.

97
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,440
And it can even generate images using AI.

98
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,560
That's pretty powerful.

99
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,800
If you're not a graphic designer or don't have loads of photos ready to go.

100
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,240
Wow.

101
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:39,720
Okay.

102
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,000
That could lower the barrier quite a bit for creating eye-catching posts.

103
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:43,640
Definitely.

104
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,720
And remember that user review you mentioned?

105
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:46,920
Uh, the one about?

106
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,120
AI post ideation.

107
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,040
Ah, right.

108
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,960
Yeah, for anyone who just freezes up thinking, what do I even post today?

109
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,880
Ah, that sounds amazing.

110
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,280
I like having a brainstorming partner built in.

111
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,960
It could really help keep that content flowing, which goes back to consistency.

112
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:03,280
Yeah.

113
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,760
It tackles that creative block head on, not just the technical scheduling part.

114
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:07,480
Exactly.

115
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,440
It's addressing a major hurdle for newcomers.

116
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,600
Now it also seems like post season isn't just for solo users.

117
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,240
They mentioned team features.

118
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,560
Collaboration.

119
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,120
Yes.

120
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,240
That's another key aspect.

121
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,720
It's designed so multiple people can work together.

122
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:21,440
How does that work?

123
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:27,800
Like sharing drafts, exchanging posts, leaving comments or feedback for each

124
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,800
other, managing the schedule as a team, all within the platform.

125
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,080
Okay.

126
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,840
I can see that being really useful for say a small business where a couple of

127
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:37,080
people handle the social media.

128
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:37,880
Absolutely.

129
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,000
Or even agencies.

130
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,360
It helps streamline the whole workflow and keeps communication in one place.

131
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,800
And speaking of agencies, the website specifically highlights them, right?

132
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:50,560
Asking who is Posties for agencies.

133
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,000
That strongly suggests it's built to handle managing multiple client

134
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,160
accounts effectively.

135
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:56,880
Which is crucial.

136
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,200
If you're juggling different brands, you don't want to mix things up.

137
00:04:59,200 --> 00:04:59,880
Definitely not.

138
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,280
Keeping those separate and organized is key.

139
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:04,600
And a tool like this aims to make that manageable.

140
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:04,880
Okay.

141
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,080
Now this auto actions feature that caught my eye, it says Posties can

142
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,960
auto post, auto like, even auto comment when you hit certain milestones.

143
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:15,360
Yeah.

144
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,280
It's an automation feature designed to, um, potentially boost engagement

145
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:21,680
with less manual effort.

146
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,320
How might that work in practice for beginner?

147
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:24,840
Maybe.

148
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:25,080
Okay.

149
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,920
So imagine you set it up to say automatically send a quick thank you

150
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,800
message when someone follows you.

151
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,280
Or maybe like every 10th follower or something like that.

152
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:40,360
Or you could have it auto like posts that use a specific hashtag

153
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,600
relevant to your niche.

154
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,640
Ah, I see.

155
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,360
So it helps you engage with related content or new followers automatically.

156
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:51,000
Kind of, it automates some of those initial, maybe more repetitive engagement

157
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:51,520
steps.

158
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,400
The goal is to increase your visibility and connection without you having to

159
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,760
manually do every single interaction.

160
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,040
Okay.

161
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:58,840
That makes more sense.

162
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:01,040
It's about setting rules for routine interaction.

163
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:01,640
Exactly.

164
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,680
Finding efficiencies so you can focus your energy on the deeper, more

165
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,080
meaningful conversations.

166
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:07,440
Right.

167
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,080
And understanding what's actually working is super important too.

168
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,840
Does boosties help with analytics?

169
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,040
Yes, absolutely.

170
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,120
They emphasize comprehensive analytics.

171
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,680
You can track how your posts are performing, see what gets likes, shares,

172
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,600
comments, and figure out what type of content really connects with your

173
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,120
audience for beginners.

174
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,280
That feedback loop is, well, invaluable.

175
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:27,640
Yeah.

176
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,680
Because you can learn and adjust your strategy based on actual data, not just

177
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,680
guesswork precisely having those analytics built right in makes it much easier to

178
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,800
see the impact and make smarter decisions about future content and circling

179
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,680
back to what users say, that ease of use seems to be a really consistent theme.

180
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,200
It does.

181
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,560
People emphasize it's very easy to use, easy to navigate, has that nice and

182
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,520
simple UI, which is huge.

183
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,280
If you're feeling intimidated by social media management already, totally a clean

184
00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:57,920
interface, clear navigation.

185
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,360
It makes a massive difference.

186
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,040
And they apparently have documentation and YouTube tutorials too.

187
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,080
Yeah, they mentioned that.

188
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,240
So there's help available.

189
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,480
If you get stuck, that's crucial, but good support resources can really

190
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,200
lower the learning curve and make the whole thing less daunting.

191
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,680
Now here's something interesting.

192
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,560
I noticed it's open source and they offer a self-hosting option.

193
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,920
One review mentioned appreciating this for privacy reasons.

194
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,960
Can you break down what self-hosting means in simple terms?

195
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:26,280
Sure.

196
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,160
So normally Post-its runs the software on their computers, their

197
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,920
servers, and you access it online.

198
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,600
Self-hosting means if you have the technical know-how, you can

199
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,720
download the Post-its software and install it on your own server,

200
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:40,760
your own web space.

201
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,840
So you control the data directly.

202
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:43,680
Exactly.

203
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,840
You have more direct control over your data, how it's stored, managed,

204
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:48,440
everything.

205
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,160
It's great for privacy-focused users or those with specific technical needs.

206
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,960
But probably not the first choice for absolute beginners.

207
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:56,840
Probably not.

208
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,120
It requires some technical skill, but it's a valuable option for

209
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,320
those who want or need it.

210
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,120
Gotcha.

211
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,280
So for most people, the standard hosted version is the way to go.

212
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:05,640
Yeah.

213
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,480
And they have a seven-day free trial.

214
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:07,880
Yep.

215
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,320
A free trial to test it out.

216
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,200
And they mentioned reasonable price plans aimed at small

217
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,400
businesses and individuals.

218
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,640
Which makes it pretty accessible, budget-wise.

219
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,120
That free trial is great for beginners.

220
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,840
You can really kick the tires, see if it fits your workflow

221
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,000
before you commit any money.

222
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:22,840
Okay.

223
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,640
So let's sort of wrap this up.

224
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,320
It really feels like Postiz is trying hard to simplify social

225
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,560
media management, especially for beginners.

226
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,040
Yeah.

227
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,600
That seems to be the core focus.

228
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,360
You've got the scheduling and cross-posting to save time.

229
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,480
The AI assistance for actually creating content, like ideas and images.

230
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:41,880
Right.

231
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,280
Then the team features for working together.

232
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,600
The auto actions for automating some engagement.

233
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,760
Analytics to track progress.

234
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,840
And all wrapped up in what sounds like a really user-friendly interface.

235
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:54,520
Exactly.

236
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,600
It seems designed to take the complexity out so you can focus more

237
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,280
on the creating and connecting parts.

238
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,160
Which is ultimately what social media should be about, right?

239
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:02,800
Absolutely.

240
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:03,040
Yeah.

241
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,880
So if you're new to managing social media or just feeling bogged down

242
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,720
by it all and looking for an easier way.

243
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,280
Post Ease sounds like it might be worth investigating.

244
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,800
Definitely worth exploring.

245
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,200
And it makes you think, doesn't it?

246
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:19,080
With all these AI tools popping up, how is automation going to reshape how we

247
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,720
connect, how we build communities online in the next few years?

248
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,400
It's a fascinating thing to ponder.

249
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,080
It really is.

250
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,280
Lots to think about there.

251
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:27,840
Okay.
