    While it won’t ever hurt to give it more, Prolewiki has enough of a balance saved up (like 2 years worth of operating costs) that it was able to spend money on like a social media advisor or something like that

        Oh I’ve not heard of that kind of thing. Is it good? Does it help to put out e.g. tweets at the most visible time of day, etc? Sounds like a good use of funds if it helps expand your reach. Big corps spend millions on this kind of thing, so anything to level the playing field.

          yeah this one is called buffer and it’s super barebones (hence the cheap price), but it does the job. We decided to get it after the viral thread about Yeonmi Park since we doubled our followers from that. It doesn’t do fancy stuff like pick the right times like hootsuite does, you mostly just get access to a scheduler so we can schedule our twitter threads for the days and times we want, and then they get published automatically. What I like about their system though is that it works like a pile that you fill up and empties itself with time, it motivates you to keep writing content and helps keep to a schedule… though I haven’t had much inspiration or ideas these past days and we’re not posting much on Twitter lol
