In early December, our case study hero dove into referral programs in crypto and online casinos.
The problem? Finding a traffic channel that didn’t drain precious hours on content creation and posting.

The Initial Experiment

Started with ChatGPT for a quick strategy.
Paired it with Midjourney for visuals.
Scheduled posts using Buffer’s free plan.
For 15 days, an hour daily on comments and a few hours every ten days to generate posts.
Result: Nothing significant. Frustration was real.

The Turning Point

A search for auto-schedulers led to testing PostWise, SocialBee, SocialPilot – and then MarketOwl.
Each tool had its strengths.
But MarketOwl?
It stood out with superior strategy and an exceptional user experience.

The MarketOwl Solution

Used a 10-day free trial to create a campaign and build a posting strategy.
Connected social accounts seamlessly.
Combined built-in image generation with Midjourney visuals.
Scheduled a full month of posts – and the time spent dropped to just 1-2 hours.

The Results

  • Revenue: $350 from 11 referrals .
  • Cost: $58 ($29/mo after the free trial).
  • Time: Reduced from 60 hours over two months to a couple of hours a month.

The Takeaway
