It's been a pretty hard slog to get from 1k to 5k but something seems to have happened in the last month and growth has ramped up considerably. Wish I knew what actually caused that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There's more to Content Snare than just blasting your clients with reminders. One of the most important parts is making it easy for clients to provide content. You can do that by providing structure and visual references.
That way it's easier for them to understand what they need to provide.
When they understand what needs to be done, it often gets done.
We've found that's the big difference between the people Content Snare works for and ones it doesn't. The ones that take the time to lay it out properly and provide instructions get content faster. The ones that sign up, put in a couple of pages and let it blast their clients never get anywhere.
This is why I'm in the process of creating a bunch of templates that lay out copywriting instructions and wireframes... to get people started down the right path faster
(sorry if this is hard to read. I'm on my phone and half was done with speech to text)
This was the value I perceived mostly as well. I likely wouldn't use reminders at all. In my experience, if a client isn't on the ball and can't remember or be bothered to send content, I probably don't want to work with them.
Making it easy to send the content though, that's great. Keeping it all in one place is even better.
This would be great if you could host it at your own domain (or can you already?) so clients just go to your website to do it rather than a totally different service. Just drop a widget into your own web page or something, tell clients to go to yoursite.com/content/clientName where they log in and start viewing. I suppose that would complicate things in other ways, but it would be nice in general to not make a user remember yet another service and url that's totally disparate from your own company.
I think it really needs the space of a full browser window to get the full experience, especially if there are screenshots/wireframes in the layout.
If this was squashed down into a typical column on the website, it could get a little crowded and hard to follow but I definitely see your point on this.
The best we have right now is the ability to share a request with a link - no login required. So you could have a button in your client portal or a client-specific page to open their request
Haha those started because I drew up some extremely crappy stick figures to send to a designer to do up properly. People in our Facebook group were like "OMG THEY ARE AMAZING KEEP THEM"
