I need 1 more client to become fully booked (for now at least), so this comes in handy!

[@SaliBina]

Oh niching down is one of the most important part of being successful with social media managing. However for people that are starting out I usually recommend to try 2-5 niches and see what they enjoy the most. Thanks so much for sharing Latasha

[@thelatashajames]

Totally agree! Most people have to dabble a bit before deciding

[@sarahpeltzer6612]

I love the structure of the video. Thank you for segmenting them into topics and giving them separate headings. This makes it easier to refer back to what you said.

[@alissaadams4225]

I feel like your content is underrated. You are honestly amazing! You offer so much value and explain things really well. Thank you so much!

[@SunnyMFMoney]

I love this ✨

[@nicolettemichele8632]

[@kimmanrique8798]

Thank u so much for sharing Latasha. 🌟 Greetings from Peru.

[@wrestlingwithdisney]

Found this insightful and has me rethinking some things!

[@chaalmeida8681]

Thanks for these great and actionable tips, Latasha :) I think I need to get louder and have a more conversational way of "selling" :) Love your videos

[@jananina3422]

honestly you are one of the most inspiring women on youtube! I absolutely LOVE your content. thanks for sharing!

[@thelatashajames]

Aww thank you, Jana!

[@bobireviews6309]

Love, love, love!!

[@MarketingHarry]

Great tips, Latasha. These advices will really help anyone to be fully booked! 😉 Auditing your sales experience is really important, glad you raised this up.

[@appleprieto5350]

SO VALUABLE!

[@ashgandawa]

I've played this back three times just so I can take notes. I'm a graphic and web designer, and these tips are SUPER useful! Thank you for the high-quality content you provide. I have a question about charging more though. Would you advise having fixed prices for specific project types and publicly displaying those prices?

[@thelatashajames]

Thanks, Ashley - so glad it was helpful! Yes to fixed prices/packages. I've found most success in putting ranges on my site (i.e. 'starts at $500' etc)

[@bestwritertricounty]

I am starting from scratch and just discovering this video today. So helpful and the tip on raising prices is important. I started at $20 an hour but I realized the work was more $45 than anything else. And guess what. Clients do pay for the additional value. Thank you.

[@ShielaSimonetXo]

INLOVE WITH THIS NEW SETUP! 😍

[@thelatashajames]

Yay! Thank you, Shiela!

[@ShielaSimonetXo]

@@thelatashajames I'm a big fan of what you do! Thank you so much for helping small social media managers like me. You've brought so much clarity to my business. More power to you! 🥰

[@kellyho-sang9802]

Question for Latasha or fellow SMMs . When talking about USPs. Can a unique selling point be really effective project management skills? I found in my personal experience people really loved either my copywriting skills or how I’m able to take them from vision to execution which ultimately leads to more bookings/website visits

[@theromadziba]

I need two to be booked out

[@baniflavor]

New sub here and I like your videos, also an entrepreneur myself 👍🏻

[@LifeofAlessia]

ily

[@Jennifferxox]

[@Jennifferxox]

@@thelatashajames Thank you!! can’t im wait to join

[@AnitaBarneycastle]

Wow! I was getting really confused about marketing to your niche versus marketing to your peers. Thank you for the clarification ☺!

[@bethanewright]

Damn I'm early early

[@thelatashajames]

[@maseytippetts8353]
