Onboarding
What happens when you first sign up: choose a plan, set a goal, connect accounts, and you're ready.
Overview
When you first sign up, Social0 walks you through a short onboarding flow: choose a plan (or skip), pick a goal so we can tailor the experience, connect at least one social account, and you’re done. After that you land in the Dashboard and can start creating posts.
What you’ll do
- Choose a plan — Starter, Growth, or Pro. You can pay now or click “I’ll decide later” and upgrade from Billing when you’re ready.
- Set your goal — Tell us whether you’re building a personal brand, running a business, managing clients, or just exploring. We use this to show relevant tips and options.
- Connect accounts — If you have a paid plan, connect one or more social accounts (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.). You need at least one to publish. You can add more later from Connections. (On the free tier you cannot connect accounts.)
- You’re all set — We’ll show a short “You’re all set” (or similar) screen and send you to the Dashboard.
From there you can open the Composer and create your first post.
Tips
- On the free tier you can only explore the dashboard—you cannot connect accounts or post. You need a paid plan to connect accounts and to publish or schedule. You can start with a 7-day free trial to try everything, then continue by paying when the trial ends—or skip plan selection during onboarding and upgrade from Billing later.
- If you just paid, the app may take a few seconds to recognize your new plan. Refresh if needed.
Common questions
Q: Do I have to connect an account during onboarding?
A: You need a paid plan to connect accounts. If you’ve just upgraded, connect at least one account during onboarding so you can try publishing. You can add or remove accounts anytime from Connections.
Q: I chose “I’ll decide later” for the plan. Where do I upgrade?
A: Go to Dashboard → Billing and pick a plan there.
