    I was searching for the most ideal time to post on social media, and I came across this reddit thread,

    https://www.reddit.com/r/digital…

    which led me to social pilot (again). I say again because I've used their cheat sheet before, it's very handy.

    Then I said to myself, hey maybe I ought to fork over the $5-$10 or so they're gonna want to join their site, and give them some business. I click on the signup link, and I see this

    Holy crap. Are you seeing what I'm seeing? Surely I'm not their target audience, if their CHEAPEST tier is $25 (and that's if u pay yearly)

    So what we have here, is business to business. They aren't even targeting me (I'm a cheap fucker), they're targeting other businesses.

    Their mid tier is called "agency" and costs $85 per month.

    We all know the power of social media and the reach it provides, and how, if your business wins at social media that does translate into new clients/sales.

    Is $85 too much? In this country(usa) we can afford it, but what about Brazil, India, countries like that?

    Their businesses pay another business $85 per month to handle social media marketing? Is this normal?

    Excuse my rambling. I'm just trying to wrap my head around it.
