Not applicable. Authory is likable and makes my portfolio and client work easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Authory solving and how is that benefiting you?

Authory easily compiles the articles I'm involved with. It also saves time with it's aggregation and publishing method, updating feeds (i.e. letting key people know when attached articles are out/available). It's excellent for building mailing list(s), newsletters, and so much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Authory?

Authory allows you to automatically pull in content that you are credited with or add content that you ghostwrite. You can arrange your content into an unlimited number of collections so you can highlight exactly what you need for a specific client. You can also bring Authory over to your own website so your portfolio page there is constantly updated. I pretty much use it every day and any question I ask is very quickly answered by customer support. In fact, they've updated the help guides a few times based on my questions, so they are incredibly diligent about improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Authory?

There really isn't much to dislike... For someone just starting out, it might be on the pricey side. And, if you need to upload multiple articles, you have to confirm the source each time. I reached out to ask if there was a way around this when I had more than a hundred articles from the same source and they offered to do it for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Authory solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been writing for years with content spread all over the place. Bringing it into one place has been a bit of a project, but I have no idea how I would even do it without Authory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Authory?

Authory is one of many platforms I have explored in creating a portfolio for my freelance writing work, and I can confidently say it's the smartest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Authory?

There aren't really any downsides - it would be great to see Authory become accessible to more writers though! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Authory solving and how is that benefiting you?

Everything is super intuitive, and the process of getting things up and running couldn't be easier. I love that it handles the hunting for you - looking for and formatting articles took up a lot of my time when trying other options. I also really like the flexibility and control it gives you. Content can be organized with collections and embedded into other websites. I don't know how, but Authory even reports how many impressions my work has made throughout multiple social media channels. All I did was give it a link! While I'm still in the process of perfecting things, I think that Authory is a next-level solution for writers and creators who want to make a professional impression online. It's truly been designed with convenience in mind, not to mention run by a team of responsive people. Five stars! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Authory?

Though I have been using Authory for a year however, just recently, I fully understood the scale of helpful tools available in it. As a freelance author, my biggest challenge has been providing central access to my publications in so many different newspapers or magazines. In the past, I had set up my own website where I would copy and paste my articles for ease of access. But now it's not possible for multiple reasons.

Authory provides one central place from where my readers can access all of my publications, including scientific publications and even LinkedIn or Twitter posts. It also connects with my YouTube videos and podcasts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Authory?

Noting in particular. The front page is evolving and now is much better for ease of use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Authory solving and how is that benefiting you?

My challenge was providing access to my articles published in many different newspapers and magazines, including access to youtube channels and podcasts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Authory?

This is a great idea and it definitely makes my articles and posts more accessible to people. I publish articles on LinkedIn, but usually someone would need to log in to LinkedIn to be able to read the articles and view posts. However, not all my clients and potential clients have LinkedIn. So Authory solves that problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Authory?

Payment info is needed up front before starting the trial. A pre-paid debit card that I tried to use was probably not accepted as a payment method. When I put in the pre-paid card info, a message popped up saying "oh snap, something went wrong." It's frustrating that the message didn't identify the problem and just said that something went wrong. I had to guess that it was the pre-paid card and then used a regular credit card, which worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Authory:

You probably can't use pre-paid cards that don't have a certain amount of money on them. Or maybe you can't use them at all. They offered to extend my trial by 2 weeks for sharing a post about them. I recommend you take the opportunity to share the post if the promotion is still current. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Authory solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem of not being able to showcase my articles to people who don't have LinkedIn or don't want to log into it just to see my articles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Authory?

Authory automates the collection of my writing across multiple publishers and allows me to categorize them in any way I wish, then present my clips to prospective employers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Authory?

Not much to dislike as it runs automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Authory solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've missed many of my clips and once I add a piece of content from one publisher, Authory automatically checks for new items and adds them to my portfolio. In the past, when publishers close a publication, I've lost my writing samples. Authory stores all my writing independently of the publication so I now have all my content even from discontinued publications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Authory?

Authory does the work of collecting all your bylines for you, making it incredibly simple to create an online portfolio with all your work in one place. Using Authory instead of creating a portfolio website from scratch saves time and ensures that your website looks professional. It takes less than 20 minutes to set up, and you can also upload a profile and cover photo to personalize your portfolio. Though I contemplated creating my own website using a different platform, I'm extremely glad I decided to go with Authory. I also like that you can create different collections to organize your work and showcase pieces you are particularly proud of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Authory?

Once in a while Authory doesn't find an article or two and you have to them manually, but that rarely ever happens. Overall the website works as it should and doesn't glitch or malfunction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Authory solving and how is that benefiting you?

Because of Authory, I don't have to spend endless hours working on a website/portfolio that allows me to showcase and share my work. Authory has therefore saved me ample time and allowed me to focus on my work without worrying that my articles are getting lost online. I know for certain that every time I publish a piece, Authory will find it and add it to my portfolio for me without me having to do anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Authory?

Authory is a pretty feature rich site. this is more than just a digital folder for your work. you also get detailed stats on how your articles preform on different social media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. you can also have readers subscribe to your page after which you can send them email updates and newsletters to keep them posted on what's going on and keep them engaged Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Authory?

It took a while for some of my sources to populate to the site. It's usually 24–48 hours, but it took about four days for me cause I had a LOT of sources. But overall, it has been a good experience and well worth it for the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Authory solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have all my writing work in one place, so I can send a link to anybody that wants to see my work. its a very convenient thing to have Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
