1. Describe the problem:
I need to automate marketing for my SaaS product on LinkedIn, Twitter, and relevant forums. The main tasks are publishing product updates, educational content, and engaging with comments. However, APIs and automation tools for these platforms are either too restrictive, lead to account blocks, or don't allow meaningful two-way communication. I spend hours every week on routine tasks instead of strategy.
2. How often does the problem occur?
This is a core part of my workflow, affecting me 2-3 times per week when I need to plan content or engage with the audience.
3. What attempts have you made to solve the problem?
I looked at tools like Buffer and Hootsuite for scheduling, but they're limited to basic publishing. I also experimented with custom scripts for engagement, but they risk account blocking and appear robotic.
4. How much are you willing to pay for the solution?
I think I'm willing to pay about $10 per month for a tool that reliably automates publishing and basic engagement. If the solution proves effective, I think I could increase the budget.
5. Problem author:
The author of this problem is looking for a co-founder to create a solution.
