      This is glorious, I have been researching "blog writing jobs" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Jeyeyton Riyria Process - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend got amazing results with it.

    hello! I manage my family's nail salon social media and i really enjoy it. I got my family shop a lot of clients and it def helped the business, especially during these hard times of Covid. I started a year ago and our instagram got 1.5k followers and we get about at least 1 new client messaging us everyday, and the usual like to set appointments through social media. Is this good enough to start freelancing other nail shops in the area?? or should i try to get more followers n clients before i try to start being a social media manager?

    • @freemamatv
      @freemamatv  4 года назад +1

      I suppose that depends on the brand, the image they want to project, and your photography skills and budget! It definitely isn't required, but there are situations when this could be necessary!

    • @JohnWallencheck
      @JohnWallencheck 4 года назад

      Thank you for asking this. I was wondering that myself, especially if you have clients who aren't located nearby. I guess one work around would be using a photo that the client took and making it better though editing software such as Adobe Photoshop or Canva.

    I would actually love to become a LinkedIn Manager for entrepreneurs, but I feel nervous about managing someone else's personal brand. I tried with clients I had as a VA, a couple of them said they would like my help but didn't give me feedback regarding the style or type of content 🤔

    • @freemamatv
      @freemamatv  4 года назад

      It all comes down to my three favorite words: communication, expectations, and boundaries! I believe all disappointment comes from unmet expectations - and so if your clients are able to clearly communicate how they want to be represented, what they expect from you, you'll be better able to showcase that in your work!

      @freemamatv  2 года назад

      Typically with social media you'll have a monthly retainer rate, and that price point will vary by number of platforms, frequency of posts, whether or not you're creating the content or just scheduling it out, how much engagement you're doing, and whether or not you're contributing strategically. There are several pricing tutorials right here on Free Mama TV!
