It is for my team at Social Champ &lt;3. Their skills, dedication and pure belief, especially of my co-founders, have put <strong>Social Champ<\/strong> ahead of so many social media tools in such a short period. I\u2019ve known these people since college times and am proud to work with them.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"social-champ-yearly-review\">Social Champ Yearly Review<\/h2>\n<p>Let me highlight a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialchamp.com\/blog\/get-in-touch-with-social-champ-via-facebook-solution-explorer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">achievements<\/a> we cherished the most in our journey till now and as we move further into social media space!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Our Traction:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>20 million<\/strong> posts have been posted via Social Champ on social networks that include: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, and Google+.<\/li>\n<li><strong>6,000+<\/strong>\u00a0social media profiles have been added in Social Champ.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Our Growth:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the previous few months, we used to post an average of 400-600 posts daily on different social networks. In May, we posted around <strong>500<\/strong> posts daily, which seemed okay.<\/p>\n<p>But June had been a very exciting and crazy month for us. We served around <strong>1 Million+ posts daily<\/strong>. Yes, you read it right -1 Million Daily. Our servers had to be scaled, logics optimized and we had to stay alert before any instance gave up on exceptional errors.<\/p>\n<p>How did this happen? <strong>Digital Agencies<\/strong> started using our system to serve their brands, and they managed a <strong>LOT<\/strong> of brands! Then they shared it with their other Agency friends, and then the explosion happened.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-213 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.socialchamp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/daily-users-sc.avif\" alt=\"Social champ yearly review\" width=\"940\" height=\"557\" title=\"\"><br \/>\nWe spent a few sleepless nights keeping an eye on server logs and user actions on the, not very attractive, black screen. Imagine the grid of the matrix, but not in color green, but white.<\/p>\n<p>At first, I thought aliens were spamming using our system, using profile names as \u2018Asasa asad.\u2019 But, when I marked them spam, they were humans who replied back, real humans who discovered the potential of the product empowering their social media automation, at least that is how it looked from their actions and my imagination combined.<\/p>\n<p>But, I\u2019m super happy that our servers didn\u2019t show the \u2018white flag\u2019 and kept serving, it had few hiccups, but we were there to fix it. This is the scaling mode, and we absolutely love it!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how our overall graph looks like from the start. The orange line shows all posts served from Social Champ, the blue line shows the total number of social profiles added.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-236 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.socialchamp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/summary-graph.avif\" alt=\"Social champ yearly review - graph\" width=\"940\" height=\"529\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Customers that kept asking<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We made a product that we wanted to use, optimized it for ourselves and then decided to share it with the world. In a few months, almost all released features were from the wish list of our customers!<\/p>\n<p>We also created a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/328940114135556\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">secret Facebook group<\/a> only for our paid customers, where they contribute to reporting bugs and keep asking for more features.<\/p>\n<p>If you ever decide to buy a subscription of Social Champ, you\u2019ll see how that group has transformed and how complaints\/bugs are reported in a flash without any hesitation. This is our success that people are comfortable in reporting. Any new feature we release, that\u2019s the place where we announce it first.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a post that had to be posted at 2:00 PM but gets posted on 2:01 PM, that\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n<p>Our journey till now had been full of geeky adventure: managing servers, customer requests, prioritizing features, giving technical support and educating the new users. It had not been easy. Imagine a post that had to be posted at 2:00 PM but gets posted at 2:01 PM, that\u2019s a problem. \u00a0OR a person sitting in the United States, having an employee in Australia managing their social media profile and demanding to have time zones managed.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"love-and-support-from-social-media-influencers\"><strong>Love and Support from Social Media Influencers:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Instead of just making connections we made great friends who used Social Champ. This may sound like a clich\u00e9, but when you get to read their suggestions and feature requests over and over again, you\u2019ll figure it out.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine yourself suggesting a new Pizza in town to your friends and hoping they love it too because your credibility is on the line.<\/p>\n<p>Influencers like Guy Kawasaki, Peg Fitzpatrick, Ian Anderson Gray, Jehan Ara, Jawwad Farid, Alex Khan, Neal Schaffer, and many others not only gave input but also recommended us to their audience. Recommending to others is a great sign. Imagine yourself suggesting a new Pizza in town to your friends and hoping they love it too because your credibility is on the line. This is the same as \u2018Sharing\u2019 a post on Facebook as opposed to \u2018Liking\u2019 a post.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Here are a few screenshots of their explosive mentions: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=132853273433650&amp;ref=br_rs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Guy Kawasaki<\/a> giving us a shout out,<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-247 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.socialchamp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/sc-share-guy.avif\" alt=\"Guy Kawasaki Social Champ\" width=\"590\" height=\"475\" title=\"\"><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ianandersongray\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><strong>Ian Anderson Gray<\/strong><\/a> mentioning us in his social media talk:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-254 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.socialchamp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/sc-share-ian.avif\" alt=\"Ian Anderson Gray Social Champ\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" title=\"\"><br \/>\nThere are many social media influencers who supported us, but the best part is, support came from our home country too!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jehan.ara\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Jehan Ara<\/a>, a die-hard fan of Apple got super excited when we released our iOS App and shared it all over.
