Great content distribution tool
It's a great system - works really well and the results are great on each unique platform - bonus that it works well on Shopify sites too
- It is a comprehensive yet easy to use content management software system
- Really not much - works very well but does take some set up

the recipes were too unreliable and kept breaking down

One of the best investments I have ever made
Story Chief has become an integral part of my business, facilitating the writing and publishing process for my websites. I don't think I would have crafted more than 50 stories within the last few months if it were not for Story Chief
- Story Chief has increased my blogging and website development ten fold with it's ease of use, simple design and multiple integrations with social services like Facebook, Blogger, etc
- I didn't know it at the time of purchase how much this software will become a part of my business processes and systems
- One of the great features I like to use is the collaborators function where I can invite external people to help contribute and review my articles before I send it off from with in Story Chief to publish on multiple platforms with a click of a button
- I also like the way the support team are coming up with new functions and innovations in the software to keep it up to speed with the latest trends in the space
- But the one feature I love about Story Chief is it's ability to make writing simple
- I have other software to help me write content for my websites, however I always come back to Story Chief because for some reason I can really focus and pump out the work when I really am under tight timelines
- With one of the features they have recently added (editing images within Story Chief) I am finding it a bit buggy
- Often when I try to edit an image while writing it will freeze or blank out my whole story
- Thankfully the software has an auto save function that saves everytime I stop writing (which has saved me a few times)
- However it is a newish feature so I'm sure they are just ironing out the kinks
Why they chose it
"For the simple interface and ease of use. It is a joy to write in Story Chief, whereas other more powerful tools complicate the process unnecssarily."

Complete social media tool
Storychief is an usefull tool to manage your social media calender. For newbies like me it is a task to get to know the tool but the people of Storychief make sure you are up to date. I think this is a very complete social media tool. A powerfull + is the way how you can collaborate, ask for approval or edit your posts.
- I think what I do like the most is how easy it is to invite people that do not have complete acces to storychief, to review your article
- They can easily comment and I think that is great
Because the tool is soo versatile, you tend to forget how you can use many functions combined

Best Content Marketing Solution!
I really love StoryChief. I've used Hootsuite and HubSpot to schedule content in the past, but StoryChief takes the cake. Anytime you need help, the team is super friendly and helpful as well.
- What I love about StoryChief is how everything is organized
- You have a hub where you can create blog articles, events, and schedule social posts
- Plus, the analytics tied to this is so important as well
- To put it simply, the software just makes sense
My only complaint is that it is difficult to schedule video social media posts sometimes

This provided a hub that would allow both blog and social media content creation AND posting. Previously, we were creating and posting blog posts in our SquareSpace and then scheduling everything else separately.

Why I love using StoryChief and Always Will
StoryChief puts all my drafts and upcoming work into one place, where I and my team can easily access it, without having to constantly, share, download, edit and save files. I love being able to see everything I have published as well as all my drafts and the easy integration to other platforms like Wordpress and Medium is very useful and time-saving.
- Easy to use, clearly laid out and well organised
- Both desktop and mobile formats are useful, although I like seeing all my work on the larger screen
- I really enjoy the share/invite people option as my work is always better when it's collaborative
- StoryChief has great tutorials and tips on using their product and their feature upgrades really impress me
- like when they added the ability to post to social media platforms and assign a blog post to the social media campaign
- It would be great if Story Chief could integrate with Trello, as this is the main management program my company uses
- Also, it's great to be able to add youtube and Vimeo videos, but would also be very useful to have the ability to simply upload a video into the blog post, direct from the device
- Also, I use Movavi and WeVideo for editing and those videos don't seem to be supported in StoryChief either, or Instagram and Facebook videos/photos

StoryChief has more features, a more affordable plan and better sharing and publishing options.

StoryChief Saved My Soul
I wanted a reliable platform to host a growing bunch of content. It looks smart, I can't mess it up, they keep improving, they're responsive. Very pleased and hope it continues.
- I came to StoryChief from Wordpress
- Wordpress itself isn't too much of a drag but it's all the hoo has around it that causes such time wasting admin
- I love that with StoryChief I can just get on with writing the content
- It's easy to add media without going round the houses
- The SEO section is invaluable and SC guides you through it
- The publishing option is a godsend
- Off it goes to all the different SoMe areas you would want it to
- The SoMe publishing is getting better all the time too with improvements all the time e
- g
- scheduled campaign to boost your posts
- Would like a little more flexibility for the front page of the blog e
- g
- have just requested the ability for a post to be pinned
- But to be honest I'm not sure I ever knew how to do that myself in Wordpress
- Oh, and I would like it to have a better menu bar option for linking to my main site
- It would be cool if there were a few more areas of flexibility like this

Too many variables within Wordpress. Storychief seemed like a one stop shop with the answers I was looking for.
Why they chose it
"Got hacked, got confused, got fed up with Wordpress. StoryChief looked promising and it proves to have been the case. Very happy."

The best tool for blogs and content marketing
Overall we have been super happy with StoryChief. It is hands down the best content marketing tool we've found and I've tried countless other systems. They seem to actively work on the product too and have rolled out helpful updates even since we started.
- We use StoryChief almost daily and it's become a key part of our content marketing workflow
- We create, manage and publish dozens of articles per month and StoryChief makes the creation and publishing of blog posts so much easier
- The editor is rock solid, they have tons of integrations, the social publishing tools allowed us to cancel our Buffer subscription, and the Wordpress connection is flawless
- Not only that but the analytics it kicks out are very helpful
- The only thing we've not been able to do with StoryChief is setting custom statuses or workflows around our posts
- They have a couple of options but you can not configure a whole workflow with status settings

GatherContent is a great product but their editor and entire system is just not set up for blogging and content marketing. Things like images, videos, and content integrations were a nightmare. And the updates they made seemed to make the product go backwards. We were with them for years and it sucked to change but it was just not getting the job done.

StoryChief is a Real Time Saver
The main benefit has been the speed with which I can go from a blank screen to published Blog. I also love that it syndicates the content across my social media channels which also saves a lot of time.
- I absolutely love StoryChief
- Very easy to set up and use, and when a Blog needs updating simply log in and it also changes the version within WordPress
- Although I have been a Blogger for many years StoryChief has saved me hours because I no longer need to spend time fighting with layouts, plugins, or formatting
- Simply log in, type, complete the various field and boxes, and publish
- If you are short on time when it comes to finding images there is an image library contained within the program
I would like to be able to embed custom code so I can add my own forms and plugins
Switched From
I still have my WordPress site and Blog however I can't remember the last time I logged into WordPress even though I am adding to it regularly via StoryChief.

So far, so good
Consumer Services
The biggest difference with other tools is for me the ambassadors list and the way you can easiliy make social posts from your blogposts
- The instagram workaround is not my favourite, hopefully the api opens up soon
- We've had several problems with links and metadata not displayed in a similar way as it is shown in the preview
- Customer service is usually quick to respond, but this is then only afterwards
