SelfMade

@selfmade @bschechter amazing work Brian and team

@rrhoover Valid question. Thank you! SelfMade supports authentic expression. Our members have more unique and true-to-self brands on social because of SelfMade. We're democratizing the experience of being a creative director and having a social media team. Try it out. Our members are looking for ways to express themselves and create new opportunities. Their social presence serves as their resume or storefront and they want it to be on point.

@bschechter @rrhoover It's digital marketing for individuals. The level of authenticity is up to each person using the service, and what they're trying to portray. In a sense, it's what people already do: build an online persona/brand they're happy with (like the ones who decide to consistently use social media, and place a value on it like the potential customers of this app would) and then try themselves to amplify it. Who knows how genuinely "authentic" they are other than the user, though? But, as you know well, building audiences is time-consuming and difficult for most people. This app/business is a personal marketing firm, and will help them do basically what I do for companies, which is to grow audiences, increase social media numbers where desired, amplify messages, increase reach, penetrate deeper, hit KPIs, optimize, etc... in a more sophisticated and focused manner to grow their "brand." Difference is, my aim is to dramatically increase revenue and decrease costs. I don't know what their end goal is.

@bschechter @rrhoover If you're a freelancer of some sort, promoting a business, or otherwise selling something, I can see the utility (these services do, however, already exist for such people and business entities). Social media are already so thoroughly infested with insufferable, self-promoting narcissists -- be they social media "mavens" of some sort, or life coaches/gurus, or what have you -- that I'm fairly sure I don't have positive feelings about this.

@rrhoover @cacarr Our members fall into the bucket of freelancers of some sort....What other services you're thinking of? The ones I've seen are prohibitively expensive for most freelancers. SelfMade offers affordable, pro-quality support in building a brand.

@dredurr Thanks for the comment, Deandre. We're working on the messaging. The core idea is that being a SelfMade member gets you the experience of a social media team in your back pocket. The benefits include a cohesive brand, saved time, more authentic followers & engagement. We're going to keep working on making the messaging land. Thank you.

@bschechter your company is a joke! It’s full of scam artists. Your edits are elementary. Your brand managers add no value. I recommended your service to my ceo and you did nothing but waste our time. Your team couldn’t even provide a basic value like optimizing the profile bio or providing hashtags. In one month we received one usable edit. On top of that, your scammers charged us an unauthorized $1000! Though we sent multiple emails requesting cancellation of the membership, your team did not comply and illegally charged our account unauthorized amounts....TWICE. This type of behavior starts from the top. You should be ashamed! To all businesses considering this company, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY.

@bschechter @l_stms They will also ask you for your log in password for your account. They will not use the FaceBook login invite. They you to give them complete access through your password (something you should not be giving out, especially since FaceBook makes it easy for them to have a login that you can track their activity.)

@jacquesvh Excited to learn about your experience. Please let us know. We create personalized mood boards for each member to guide our Image Specialists. The app includes a rich instruction and revision moment to put SelfMade Members in the drivers seat and allow them to be the creative director.
