The Best Online Tool to Create, Optimise, Collaborate, and Distribute Your Content

The Best Online Tool to Create, Optimise, Collaborate, and Distribute Your Content

Pros

The things I like,

-user-friendly dashboard,
-team collaboration,
-SEO optimisation,
-Unsplash image search integration,
-Free blog
-The ability to publish content to WordPress, Medium and other platforms including social media.

There are many integrations and features to make your content creation a breeze. I was waiting for the Grammarly to work with StoryChief and it now does. So, overall a fantastic platform and a great development team. I will recommend StoryChief to anyone looking to create and distribute contents online.

Cons

None so far regarding the platform. The blog feature could be better, the customisation not intuitive, but hey it comes free. So no complaints.

Response from StoryChief NV

Hi Surabil! Thank you for your kind review, we're glad you're enjoying it. If you have any suggestions surrounding the William blog, be sure to let us know and we'll see what we can do! :)

I have been really impressed with how easy it is to create and publish content.

Pros

The user interface is very clean, simple to use but really packs a punch for functionality. The guidance for creating quality content, pushed to the right channels with optimised SEO is fantastic.

Cons

It is hard to find anything I particularly dislike; it could be useful to be able to set up templates or have recommendations, but to be honest, it just works as it is.

Response from StoryChief NV

Hey Phill! Thank you for the review and the feedback, we will definitely take it with us.

Dated, clunky, and annoying

Reviewed on 2020/07/23

Pros

As someone who was invited to collaborate on a document hosted on StoryChief, I can firmly say I disliked the whole experience.

Cons

Not sure if this is exclusive to users invited to collaborate on Storychief without an account, but I received emails for every single change, comment, reply, and resolved comment (easily 25+ emails each sitting) for one document.

I found the overall layout dated, and for a platform that boasts so many features, it was very simple and underwhelming. The UX/UI was awful (I had to sign in so many times!) and made me want to scream at my computer.

Plus, the commenting system (which was the only way I could communicate/collaborate) was very clunky and had issues every time I tried to add/edit comments.

Response from StoryChief NV

Hi there!

Thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate your comments as they help us improve our tool.

We will work on being able to disable notifications and will also try to update the layout to improve the user experience.

About having to log in all the time: could you tell me what browser you were using and if it was on a desktop or mobile device? There shouldn't be any reason why you would need to log in frequently or have a clunky experience, so we'd love to investigate this further.

You can give us more information on [email protected].

Thank you!

I've been using StoryChief daily and it has helped me a lot in my content writing tasks. I love how it shows suggestions and marks the negative points of the write-up. I'd recommend everyone, especially the writers, to use StoryChief. It might bring some positive changes in your works and help you develop your skills faster.

Pros

The SEO and the Readability percentage meter has been the most impactful features of StoryChief for me. I can easily understand what changes shall I bring to my blogs/articles to increase its user readability by tapping on the percentage meter. It also shows the reasons and categorizes according to the error levels.

Cons

One of the major drawbacks of StoryChief, in my opinion, would be that you can't copy-paste any image. Other than that, I like it very much.

Response from StoryChief NV

Hi Shabab,

Wow, thanks for the detailed feedback. We love seeing that our popular SEO & readability features marked a before and an after in your writing tasks.

As for being able to copy&paste an image, we're working on making this possible in the future. Stay tuned!

Happy writing!

I have been using StoryChief for about 7 months now mostly for our long-form blog/articles (www.getmemo.co.za/blog). What I love most about the platform is that it significantly helped me to cut our workflow in half. I now have a lot more free time which I can use to focus on other things. I really love everything about the platform and salute the support team, they always just a click away. One of the best content management platforms out there, if not The Best. :)

Pros

Being able to write, review, get team inputs, schedule and publish our weekly blogs to multiple channels from one place and in less than 5min. (Super cool)

Cons

I can't really say, haven't come across anything I don't like yet. :)
Want to however suggest a feature if possible. If there can be a way that one can drag and drop scheduled stories on the calendar without having to go into the actual story and changing the dates. that would be awesome.

This tool allows you to immediately publish your content to multiple channels. You write the article, and then you publsh to LinkedIn, Wordpress, Twitter, Medium at a single click. Saves us a lot of time and we started publishing more since.

Cons

Tagging in the linkedin posts could be better, doesn't alwasy work

Response from StoryChief NV

Hi David,

Thanks for your great review! We are very happy to read that you are saving lots of time by using StoryChief.

Tagging in LikedIn is at the moment available for LinkedIn Company Pages and LinkedIn Profiles, both to company pages.
Unfortunately we have some restrictions coming from LinkedIn, like for example that only pages with over 300 followers can be mentioned. This could be the reason why tagging doesn't always work.

If these restrictions were to open up in the future, we would also update our connection accordingly. In that case, be sure we will let you know.

Happy writing!

I'm beginning to build my brand and business here. I will be a loyal user. As I learn more, I will likely lean in to using more of the paid functionality. I think this is a really good product.

Pros

- Customer service is a chat away. This was really helpful because I'm tech savvy but not web savvy.

- Blog functionality is free and looks very nice.

- The blogging functions are very intuitive. It's super easy to add pictures to text, hyperlink, etc.

Cons

- It needs to be more solopreneur friendly.... for example, because I don't have a LinkedIn company page, I can't use it as one of my channels. I'm not ready to be a company yet but want to build a brand. This could be an easy fix.

Response from StoryChief NV

Hey Jeremy! Thanks a lot for the positive feedback, we appreciate it. You can now also post to your personal LinkedIn profile; you don't need a company page anymore. Hope you'll enjoy this new feature!

Very good. Lots of space and organization features to set up your marketing campaigns- would definitely recommend for content writers.

Pros

Lots of room to flesh out articles, blogs, PDFs, to outlines and idea banks. The sharing and ask for approval functionality is great. SEO is immediately responsive to changes in the article which is super helpful.

Cons

Only one person can edit at a time. The force take can be janky sometimes, so if a team member forgets that they've left an article open, I have to take a few more steps to gain control of the piece. I think something similar to google docs would be cool in the future.

Response from StoryChief NV

Hi Morgan,

Thanks for your great feedback, happy to see all your company is able to accomplish with StoryChief.

At the moment it is indeed not possible for users to edit a blog article at the same time, but this is to avoid that a user publishes the article while another one is still editing it. That's the main difference that we have with Google Docs.

However we are trying to find a way to improve this feature and make it easier for you and your team. We'll contact you as soon as there is an update on this!

Happy publishing!

Great service, they are always asking for feedback. Tool works as intended.

Pros

If you are producing lots of content, and you follow CEO, Story chief is one of the few ways to produce large amounts of content, at scale, with a small team, and minimal amounts of apps.

WHile I have a marketing team for our business, when I needed to start my own personal brand, and I didn't want to have to go through the team, and add a lot of process/perfecting to my flow, story chief gives me a way to just post everywhere in one place, starting from the content itself.

Cons

That it's still a young company and is still building features :)
I think the pricing is a little on the high side for a lot of businesses used to low price software, but I feel the time you would save at scale is priceless

I didn't watch a single tutorial for a start. I realised pretty quickly that setting up my integrations was necessary, and from there creating a new story was just simple. You set up your channels, write your story, and hit the publish button. That's it. Super simple.

Pros

StoryChief has a simple interface for writing stories, which in my opinion is what you need. Having written your story, the next stage is to add an image and meta information that is later used where snippets are required for posting (eg. Twitter and Facebook). After that, you get to select which channels you want your story posted to, which is the Primary channel (which I usually set to a blog), and posting schedule - which is excellent because the story can go to my blog first, followed by syndication to my other channels. All very easy to do. Lastly, I get to see the stats on the number of views and reads. And I'm still only covering half of what this can do.

Cons

For one channel I noticed it does have the StoryChief branding attached as the delivery mechanism, but my guess is that's required. I'm not sure which channel it was when I last spotted it, but it's no big deal for me.

I maintain over a dozen different client blogs, all of which I must create at least three blogs a week for. By being able to post directly into Story Chief and then set publication not only to the site but also to all social channels and to create a newsletter for Mailchimp - all at the same time - has been a real game changer. And their customer service is stellar.

Pros

It's actually hard to know where to start. In the month I have been making use of Story Chief I've saved so much time and hassle that to point out one feature as best is hard. But in effect the fact that I save myself at least two hours a day - and for a freelancer every second is money - is probably the biggest bonus of all.
