I just wanted to come forward and say that being a social media manager is not for the weak. I'm a social media manager for five separate accounts and there is a TON of work that goes into it. It is not simply taking photos and posting them on Instagram and being done. It's a real job and it's a lot of work.
Someone asked me to manage and be a content creator for their Instagram because they liked my own account that much. I know nothing about being a social media manager except for what worked for me. I’m thinking I might potentially do this for a living now. So thank you so much for all of your videos, they’re being extremely valuable for me while I navigate this new adventure ❤️
@@mariah7773 I’ve been working for this person for 7 months and she loves what I do. I haven’t reached out to new people yet, but after 7 months I’m confident and I’m actually starting to get the word out there. I didn’t want to be overwhelmed and have a lot of clients when I was still trying to learn the job myself. It’s a rewarding job and I love it. Best of luck to you!
@@smokingxdreams.1045 for now I manually post everything since I only have one client, but I might look into automated services in the future. I believe you can autopost on IG via facebook now
46 seconds in! You are such a vibe!!! I remember in your last video you said when other people pave the way that’s confirmation that it’s possible. That’s why I enjoy your content. Wishing you all the best
Just started freelancing as an SMM and I had a feeling that there was going to be a lot researching involved regarding the product/service that the client is providing, not just making pretty posts. Thank you for clarifying this and you really provided the basics, it was so helpful!
I am really happy with this video. This is what I needed to know to understand exactly what SMMs do in their work. A friend of mine has asked me to be the SMM for his startup. I don't use SM very in-depth, so have been a bit stumped on how to go about it. Other videos were not getting this in depth about the duties I'd be expected to perform, and to what breadth that would entail. Very good. Thanks so much for this very useful and reassuring information!
Wow! Thank you so much! I've been interested in doing freelance SMM for awhile now and have been trying to find a simple video going into a bit more detail on day to day tasks and this was great information!
hello, I am aspiring for Social Media Management Career, I have attended lots of beginner classes and it's more generalizing, this content of yours is pretty much concise and will help me a lot to start on this journey. thank you so much and hoping for more content about SMM, will now subscribe for your guidance.
A short conclusion of the video: 1. You need to know, which platform shall be in the first place. 2. A brand should not have more than 3 key content pillars. 3. Get knowledge, on how to set up a brand new page and give the proper access to the owner.
I know that this was uploaded a long time ago, but the information is still relevant in today's understanding of what social media managers do. Thank you :) .
You rock 💖 and omg the content pillar example blew my mind lol - I grew up close to Dallas and am really passionate about organic food and sustainability 😂
I'm just starting to learn how to do Social Media Marketing and looking to start trying to do it for a few non-profits just as a side thing, Thank you for your videos
This video was insightful and educational for me to understand for someone challenged with just looking into what you do and may find a better calling. I would love your advice on how to get started and good courses that would be helpful.
Thank you very much for this very comprehensive video. I am just starting out and this video has given me a lot more clarity. You just earned a subscriber😍.
Hello Latasha. thank you very much, I am Edwin from Nairobi Kenya i have been following your training on social media, and believe me i have gained so much from it. your referrals have made me also know a lot of things, I studied IT but i wanted to venture more into social media but i am proud i got everything from you. i just started a social media agency called Masco Global, and from your Hootsuite, Management training am somewhere. Thank you God Bless you so much, all continue following up on you.
I'm trying to get clients on Upwork as a social media manager and it seems like everyone asks the manager to produce the content and do video editing as well. Is that something that's expected out of the role?
Thank you so much for this video. This video is really helpful for the people who are starting to look into the Social Media Manager profile. I, personally liked the last line you mentioned that we are not the ones playing with Instagram or any other social media platforms.
I have been running around the house and squirming😁💃🏽💃🏽. I'm so happy. I'll be forever grateful for the knowledge you are willing to give us may it be through your podcast, courses.. Etc😊
I loveeee your glasses, I had to restart the video as I was hunting the comments to see if you linked them 😅 I couldn't find a link but would love to know where they're from if you wouldn't mind sharing that info ❤
Thank you this was extremely helpful! I was stressed about getting into this field, because my knowledge on this is limited. By the way, I love your glasses, where did you buy them?
We're looking to hire a social media manager. We have a successful eBay business, where we sell in a very specific niche. We are in the process of expanding our business towards direct to consumer sales, which obviously involves social media.
Thank you for this video. I’m contemplating being a social media manager as a side hustle and have been looking for clear direction like this. A lot of videos I see are for companies. Could you steer me towards tips for building social media awareness for a blogger.
I'm so glad I came across your page I've officially hit like & subscribe I'm starting a brand and I'm looking to hire a social media manager asap WHEN ARE YOU TAKING NEW CLIENTS!!!!
might sound like a dumb question but for the social media toolbox, how to i turn the "excel files" that download as canva files into google sheets? i cant figure it out and its annoying me lol
I play in a rock band that doesn't agree with major platform policies but we do have a new youtube. Unfortunately, bands need online presence to be more likely to be booked for shows but I refuse to market through IG, FB, etc. How would I go about finding someone to run an account for our band starting from scratch?
Thanks so much, I found this so helpful. 1 thing I am struggling with now is I have 6 Instagram accounts to manage and Instagram will only allow me to manage 6 accounts on my app on my iPhone, do you know a way around this? Or will I have to buy a new phone?
Hi, I have an experience of 11 years in the field of Graphic design in digital platforms, and specifically 7 years as a graphic designer in the social media department of a reputed organization. I want to switch to social media management for better opportunities. Could you please tell me if it is a good option after investing so many years in graphic design
Do you make your own videos for SMM? Do you show your face in them or just get video clips from the net and add text and transitions and stuff .how much work goes into it?
Thank you so much for sharing. I’ve taken Hubspot certification courses and have had a few clients but I am looking to work in house for a larger company. My downfall is that I don’t have a college degree which can make me have imposter syndrome.... Do you have a college degree?
How much would you charge if you're just starting out? I am a content creator and I have a client who I make videos for who wants me to do her socials as well... not sure what a good base would be

Did you advertise B2C? What are the features?
saw this at the end of the previous FIRST video I seen, so I had to click on it and watch again.
