Social media is a full-time job.
You already have one.

Small businesses know they need to post. But between the writing, the graphics, the scheduling, and the platform juggling, it never gets done.

The Context Switch Tax

Jumping from running your business to writing clever tweets and designing banners in Canva eats up hours you do not have.

Agencies Cost Too Much

Social media agencies charge thousands per month. For a local coffee shop or indie podcast, that math simply does not work.

Hiring Is Overkill

You do not need a dedicated social media manager. You just need someone to crank out a handful of posts each week.

Credential Chaos

Sharing your social logins with freelancers you found on Upwork feels risky and messy. There has to be a better way.

Your social media, handled in bites.

Minipost is a marketplace plus publishing portal built for small, fast social media tasks. Request content, review it, and post it. All in one place.

Post a Micro-Gig

Need 10 tweets? A Facebook banner? 5 Instagram captions? Just describe what you need and set your budget.

2

Creators Deliver

Vetted freelancers pick up your task, reference your brand profile, and deliver content right inside the portal.

3

Review and Publish

Approve or tweak the content, drag it onto your calendar, and publish directly to every platform. Done.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Built for speed, simplicity, and small budgets. Here is what makes Minipost different.

Dashboard analytics

Micro-Gig Marketplace

Post bite-sized tasks for tweets, posts, banners, and short-form videos. Freelancers pick them up and deliver fast.

Calendar planning

Drag-and-Drop Calendar

Once content is approved, drag it right onto your publishing calendar. Schedule for the week, the month, or the quarter.

Brand identity design

Brand Profile Portal

Upload your colors, logos, tone guidelines, and current promotions. Every freelancer sees your brand DNA before they start writing.

Performance analytics

Performance Tipping

When a post crushes it, creators get automatically rewarded. Engagement bonuses incentivize quality over quantity.

33 million small businesses.
Most have zero social strategy.

58% Lack a consistent strategy

The gap between knowing social media matters and actually doing it consistently is massive. Minipost lives right in that gap: affordable enough for a food truck, powerful enough for a growing brand. Podcasters, salons, tutors, restaurants, freelancers, and local service companies all need this.

How Minipost becomes a real company

A clear path from idea to revenue. Here is the playbook.

Revenue Model

Tiered monthly subscriptions for businesses: $10/month for single-channel access, $30/month for three channels, and $50/month for unlimited channels plus analytics. Freelancers join free. Transaction fees stay at processing cost only, so creators keep nearly all of their earnings. The platform monetizes through business subscriptions, not by taxing gig payouts.

Go-to-Market Strategy

Launch with podcasters and indie content creators as the beachhead market. Partner with podcast hosting platforms like Buzzsprout and Anchor to reach creators who already struggle with social promotion. Expand into local businesses through targeted Instagram and Facebook ads. Offer a free trial month to lower the barrier to entry and drive word-of-mouth referrals.

Competitive Advantage

Unlike Upwork or Fiverr, Minipost is purpose-built for social media micro-tasks with integrated publishing. Unlike Buffer or Hootsuite, it includes a marketplace of creators. The combination of content marketplace plus scheduling portal keeps both sides engaged and makes it hard to go off-platform.

Year One Milestones

  • Launch MVP with Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook integration; onboard 500 businesses and 1,000 freelancers
  • Reach $25K monthly recurring revenue through platform subscriptions
  • Expand to TikTok and YouTube Shorts with video micro-gig support

Key Risks

  • Quality control at scale: ensuring freelancer output meets business expectations when tasks are small and fast
  • Marketplace liquidity: building enough supply of freelancers and demand from businesses simultaneously in the early stages
  • AI content tools like ChatGPT and Canva AI may reduce perceived need for human social media creators

Estimated Startup Cost

MVP development, initial marketing, and early operations

$75,000 - $150,000
