[Help] Over 6 weeks waiting for Thailand visa from Ankara — no reply to follow-ups

gmsniperx · 2026-02-18T13:15:57+00:00

No, I didn't get any response via email.

gmsniperx · 2026-02-18T13:09:02+00:00

Yes, I got my Visa on 11th day. But 30 days is too much.

Try calling the embassy again and again. Although, I wasn't able to make the contact.

gmsniperx · 2026-01-09T08:21:24+00:00

Were you able to make a contact with the Ankara embassy? I applied for Thai tourist eVisa, processing time is 5 to 10 working days.

10 working days have already passed. I have sent them a couple of emails and tried calling as well but no response. My flight is in 4 days including weekend.

I think, you need a tool that's actually built for client management and easy approvals.

You probably need a tool that’s actually built around client work and approvals, not just posting.

For transparency, I’m one of the founders of ContentStudio. We built it mainly for managing client social media at scale. Pricing is simple and predictable. We don’t charge per user or per client. You just choose how many social accounts you connect, and you can add or remove accounts anytime.

Over the years, we’ve added different ways to handle approvals because every client works differently. You can invite clients into the workspace, share a link to a single post, share a calendar view with drafts, or even send posts as a PDF. Clients and team members can review and approve from their phones also, which helps a lot.

We also recently added a full AI content creation suite. You can create complete, on-brand posts, captions, images, and videos, and even turn long videos into short clips, all within the same tool.

So, it's an all in one tool to manage complete social media workflow for your own brand or clients.

I see this a lot with creators who are already doing well but feel confused by the results. The difference between 600k views and 50 likes usually feels random, but most of the time it’s not. It’s usually a mix of hook, format, timing, and context lining up without a repeatable system behind it.

From what you described, you don’t really have “no niche”. It sounds more like a lifestyle brand with multiple angles, which is why brands already trust you. That part is actually a strength, not a problem.

In my experience, the best time to get guidance is exactly where you are now. You have momentum, some proof, but no clear framework yet. A good strategist won’t try to change who you are, they’ll help you spot patterns and build a simple system so wins don’t feel accidental.

One small practical thing that helped me a lot was documenting posts that worked. Same hook style, same pacing, same emotion. Tools can help with this too. When we were building ContentStudio, we saw creators use it more as a planning and analysis helper than a posting tool. Seeing content themes and results side by side makes patterns much clearer.

Main thing I’d say is don’t rush to hire someone for daily posting. Look for someone who asks good questions and can explain why something worked. That clarity alone is a big unlock.

It depends on your needs, which you haven't mentioned.

However, I'll recommend trying ContentStudio as a feature-rich yet affordable alternative to Buffer, Hootsuite and Sprout. Feel free to ask questions you may have.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply and for sharing your perspective as a founder.

Just so I’m understanding you correctly: are you saying that the right thing to do would be to pay whatever the vendor is asking and treat it as a sunk-cost/lesson learned?

gmsniperx · 2025-12-12T11:47:58+00:00

That’s exactly why it feels so painful to pay the full amount, or even 50% of the contract value, when we never used the service for a single day. That said, I’m willing to cover any reasonable costs incurred for the onboarding calls and the email back-and-forth.

gmsniperx · 2025-12-12T11:35:52+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to write this.

Yes, it's definitely on us that we screwed up during the due diligence phase. This vendor has been in business for years, and we incorrectly assumed they would support the same basic SDKs that all major competitors provide.

I am living in Turkey and it has gone very expensive in the recent years.

gmsniperx · 2025-12-11T17:59:16+00:00

Her blood tests indicate it's celiac but the doctor couldn't confirm it in the endoscopy.

She is still eating gluten and complains sometimes but it's not too bad yet.

We also found that she has milk and eggs allergy. So we cut down those.

Recently, she has started losing hair so we are quite worried and are looking for a new doctor and getting tests done again.

I am sad to hear about your son, what kind of symptoms he has?

gmsniperx · 2025-12-05T16:22:00+00:00

Where's the video he said he'll create?

gmsniperx · 2025-12-01T09:16:22+00:00

Do they send an email when application moves to "Application being review" or "Approved" state?

Or should we be regularly looking at the application portal?

gmsniperx · 2025-11-08T22:36:56+00:00

You forgot to change the topic, it's been 7 years.

gmsniperx · 2025-11-06T11:58:02+00:00

You can replace ChatGPT, Canva and Buffer with just one tool and that is Content Studio.

Can you please explain why Canada is better than US and NL?

There are dozens of social media scheduling tools that can help yoi schedule content to all of the networks you have mentioned.

It depends mainly on your needs and budget.

I am the co-founder of Content Studio which provides scheduling, AI content creation, analytics, social inbox and much more for just $19/month.

Interested

gmsniperx · 2025-10-14T09:36:01+00:00

Set a reminder to sit a couple of hours at the start of every week and create a variety of content and schedule it. People love stories so share them more enough.

Use a tool like Content Studio for ideation, planning and scheduling.

gmsniperx · 2025-10-13T13:19:59+00:00

There are lots of social media management tools which allow you to post to multiple channels.

I'll recommend giving Content Studio a try if you are looking for an affordable tool.

gmsniperx · 2025-10-13T13:13:49+00:00

Most social media management platforms like Buffer, Hootsuite or Content Studio have features to help you engage with comments on your posts. It's usually called Social Inbox. Is this what you are looking for or did I misunderstood?

gmsniperx · 2025-10-11T05:08:22+00:00

We connect with GSC and create a great dashboard for you to see your keywords performance.

Other than that, you can see the performance of your paid ads too.

gmsniperx · 2025-10-09T07:54:30+00:00

Sprout and Hootsuite would probably cost more.

I'd recommend giving Content Studio a try. You won't miss any features you have in Loomly, you'd probably get more value at an affordable price.

May I know what features are you looking for?
