Hey Product Hunters!
I'm one of the co-founders of Prime, a small startup platform based in Australia.
We're on a mission to make content marketing easier!
So, what's your Instagram Prime time? 6pm Sunday night? Tuesday morning?
Now you can actually *know* what time you should post that ripper pic to Instagram! Prime has a powerful new algorithm which analyzes all of your Instagram followers' interactions to calculate your Prime times. You can also schedule posts for later and see how well your past posts did. We've been hard at work on it for 8 months, and testing for the past 2.
We're really excited about this launch, and would love your feedback 😊
@byjacksolomon My understanding is that any of the methods currently used to schedule posts for later are against the instagram API terms and conditions... how have you overcome that?
@rossdcurrie We send you a notification at the time for which you scheduled a post, and that opens Instagram with your photo. All you have to do is paste in the caption and press "Post"!
We have gone through all of Instagram's new review processes, and been 100% approved. Scheduling is impossible to automate with Instagram at the moment - so this is the closest we could get.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the app if you get a chance to download it (it's free at the moment).
@raudaschl see my full response below (to @rossdcurrie). Pretty much, it's not entirely automated, it has to send you a notification which you have to manually open in order to post to Instagram. Otherwise, though, Prime has been (after a lot of effort) fully approved by Insta!
@byjacksolomon@raudaschl Oh, that's really not post scheduling then. That's post reminding. Being a fellow Aussie, I'm sure you can appreciate that the #1 reason I need post scheduling is because my biggest audience is awake while I'm asleep. The last thing I want is a notification popping up at 4am telling me I need to post on instagram.
This is a feature that most of the scheduling companies are using in lieu of actual scheduling capability within Instagram and honestly, it ticks a box but it doesn't offer me any value.. Personally I'd be more interested in using your app long-term if it had more analytical data for me to consume.
I quite like the idea, and the organic interface.
You guys should probably put a lot of effort into marketing this for top-Instagramers, since they'd be most interested in the product. Would love to see this being used more – Growth Hacking for Instagram.
@oskar Yep - exactly! We're in contact with a lot of big Instagrammers (including a number of celebrities with verified Insta accounts), and are growing pretty quickly at the moment.
By the way, if you have any feedback on the app itself, I'd love to hear it.
Hello.
Great product!
This will be great for anyone who has a business or is a business (celebrities) because they can keep up with Instagram based on their own scheduling needs and get optimal impact whilst doing so!
Thanks,

@jay_bee12345 Thanks very much! Great to get your encouraging feedback :) Brands make up a huge percentage of our user base, because Prime allows them to connect with more of their followers (before having to worry about actually getting more followers, brands may as well first engage with all of their current ones!)
@byjacksolomon No problem. I would also like to add this is really a "must have" for any Instagram user as it optimizes response for their postings! Cheers!
