i just stumbled upon this video and wow i thought you were a big youtuber because the quality of this video and how natural you are in front of the camera! I absolutely enjoy this video! keep up the great work girl!

[@RachelRothmanWhite]

This made my day! Thank you so much ❤️

[@theamazingstarn]

same!!!

[@thecandle2130]

[@YasmineBedward]

Totally agree!

[@creativecanary8256]

This is the best day in the life video I've ever seen, and for someone who has had a hard time deciding on a major/career, I've watched A LOT of those videos. Most of the time the actual work being done isn't shown in these videos, even though that's what people usually want to see the most if they are interested in that career. So THANK YOU!

[@jasxmiranda]

I work in social media as well, and looove the collaborative meeting notes idea!!

[@RachelRothmanWhite]

It's super helpful!

[@samdaza]

I have my interview tomorrow! Thank you so much for sharing your routine. I’m honestly so excited

[@ShopNaturallyMe]

This is really fantastic!! As a small business owner it can be pretty overwhelming to post and stay active on social media. I thought I was one of the only people to have a 9 grid aesthetic mentality. It’s so refreshing to see someone in that field talk about it. I use Canva to visualize my grids too but the way you do it is such a simpler way 😳🤯. Thank you times a million 🤩

[@yeskaii]

I haven't looked at all the other videos yet. But I do see the number of subs. And your content (based on this video) is AMAZING. You deserve so much more recognition. Thank you so much for the informative video. This is a massive ‘push’ for me to pursue this and is very motivational 🙏🤍

[@theamazingstarn]

soo useful! I really see your channel growing in the future - such a good quality video! Xx love from london!

[@SilverFOXO]

A very eye opening video to come by , specially when I am trying to start my journey as a social media manager. Thank you for an amazingly honest piece of information to everyone here.

[@MorganForteMakeup]

After I watched the video I was so surprised that you didn’t have more subscribers! This video is great, I just started as a full-time social media manager too and I’ve never worked a remote job like this before so this video really helped me :)

[@RachelRothmanWhite]

you are so sweet! thank you so so much :) congrats on your new job! 😍

[@alliceson6464]

Thank you for this! I just got my first job as a social media manager which is a dream!! I love the tips :)

[@NoteToMyselfPod]

great video! i love that you work in social media - so do i! ☺️

[@kyesha9313]

I've just started a social media manager internship, but they've thrown me in the deep end in the sense that they've given me complete free rein... So thank you for this video, as it's really helped me figure out how to integrate this job into my everyday life!

[@jessicaclemons8363]

Do you need any licenses?

[@mosaif_mudawi]

Loved this video!!! It definitely suits you!! I hope you are still happy with it

[@Personamedaniel]

This literally sounds so fun to do, and you get to do it for a LIVING!!! 🤩

[@mariejae]

I love that you work for a sustainable company. My worry with marketing is that it's too superficial. I consider myself an environmentalist and I was worried there wouldn't be enough eco-friendly brands or organizations using SM.

[@solomonwrites]

I love it! Could you make a long video on how start and all there is to know about social media Management for beginners?

[@adriannaaustin9127]

I’m in news right now but thought about going into social media bc I love it so much… this video made me happy and want to do it :)

[@farouqjohari]

You have only 1.3k subscribers but your video rank higher than most videos when i searched 'social media manager'. You must be doing something right with the algorithm. Keep it up! All the way from Malaysia 🇲🇾

[@luluopal16]

I just landed a marketing internship focused on using and creating content for social media. this is such a good look of what I'm about to get into!

[@abbys_house]

Girl, thank you for sharing! I'm just starting with my new client and this video helps. I started my KZbin as well coz I wanna document this journey. Thanks, again!

[@sarahtrueman5490]

Really glad I found your channel. I've just made the plunge from a designer to a marketing assistant and I start next week ! eek so was looking for content like this to show an actual day in life and the tasks I might be doing thank you :)

[@IAmHisBeloved5]

How’s it going?

[@sarahtrueman8554]

Going well thanks, I feel anxious most days as I have no formal training and I don’t have anyone showing me what to do (the marketing manager left and they didn’t replace her) so I’ve asked if they would fund a Certificate in marketing course, which they agreed. Are there any courses you’d recommend?:)

[@marissag.1226]

This was so informative, thank you! I'm starting my social media internship tomorrow and cramming any info I can in right now. It looks so enjoyable though.

[@clips8185]

Good luck

[@Alpha-Scythe23]

How did it go?

[@stephquay]

Hi this was really helpful! If I may ask, how did you go about finding a client that was hiring? Also, when you don't know something, whats your method of figuring it out? Do you do any analytical work for this client you work with? I feel like that's my growth area so it hinders me from wanting to dive into social media managing.

[@taylatalksmotorsport]

JUST found your channel.l im a uni student and just landed my first ever job that is remote. love your videos

[@margaretrangel7223]

I absolutely love canva. I’m a marketing and project management intern and it makes creating content so easy.

[@angelaugustina]

Would love to see more!!!!

[@aimeevandijk4206]

Love the hair!

[@theengineergeorge]

[@ActivateLA]

[@tayleelanae]

Love the video! I plan on becoming a Social Media Manager & I am curious as to what you studied in college!

[@RachelRothmanWhite]

I actually studied journalism!

[@michaelgyan7174]

Am interested in going into this next.

[@deethangdumi]

Great content. This is really good quality. I have recently started a job as a social media manager so this has been helpful. What camera did you use to shoot this amazing video.

[@princessdaano5892]

Nice video! How do you plan to schedule each pieces? Do you upload it all in a day or in separate days?

[@julianexcalibur]

i have been trying to find a role as a social media producer for months since i graduated. very informative!

[@RachelRothmanWhite]

So glad it was helpful! :)

[@yoursocialwing824]

I just launched my own channel as a social media manager🤞🏻. I love your channel🤗

[@RussellDetablan]

How's being a social media right now, Rachel? Can you share what are your struggles working as a social media manager?

[@RachaelFMcm]

Hi Rachel, These tips were really helpful ! Another day in the life video would be great to see what other tasks you do and how you schedule your day doing them x

[@charmelynjaneventura8194]

You deserve more subscribers! 😍😇

[@masegomokgwetsi1176]

Hey Rachel, thank you so much for producing such phenomenal content. May the good Lord continue to bless you abundantly. Do you perhaps mind suggesting eco businesses and/or companies which one could work for. Your response would be much appreciated 🤗💚🍀

[@snehavyas2688]

Hey, I like your video a lot. Can you make a video about the app you use in your daily life as a social media manager.

[@juliocruz4422]

Can you please make a video on how you got started and what are some steps to take

[@gabbykim72]

You use Later to schedule your post but when it comes to publishing the content do you use your personal phone to publish or does Later auto publish the scheduled content? If so, does that only apply to business accounts versus creator?

[@jordanpeirsol2605]

Loved this video! Do your clients send you the photos you want posted or are you constantly taking photos as well?

[@RachelRothmanWhite]

Depends on the client! In this case, most photos were supplied by the client, but I was responsible for video content.

[@msminnie1215]

Hi! How do you create the collaborative meeting notes in a google spread sheet?

[@MidwestKorky]

small business saturday! yay!

[@mathieugokas3161]

Thank you so much for this video, how did you get your foot in the digital marketing world, most companies want 3-5 years of experience for a level entry any suggestions for graduates that want to get in this type of field?

[@ItsMsTiffanyReG]

[@NadaSamir]

[@aishaluve]

How often do you recommend posting posts on iG? I’ve been told daily or three times a week? I don’t want to overwhelm our customer base!

[@Bizcoachneha]

I am sure this is the best one👍

[@sashapalma2033]

I am majoring in digital audiences and wanted some advice- is there a minor you would recommend? I was thinking technical communication as they teach about content strategy which I find might be helpful so social media marketing. Or English as I also want to do more copywriting/ content. Any other tips greatly appreciated! Thanks! Awesome video by the way! ☺️

[@WadzanaiMufunde]

"My bicep is as big as your face" -- Hilarious! :') Thanks for this video. I enjoyed it. Your job sounds like so much fun, and so intriguing.

[@FaithBreaux]

Thank you for this. I am also a social media manager and marketing. I feel like i way to much. So do you also take the pictures for the client or does the client provide that ? Do you do any word graphics Well or just pictures?

[@j3suschick]

What camera do you recommend for taking pictures or filming?

[@FatemaKhatun-rw2jm]

[@sheenagilmour2749]

When you are working on engagement for your client do you allot. Certain timeframe or number of minutes/ hours? Do they also log in and engage or is it all you?

[@jackieacosta8408]

Can you please make more videos about gaining experience and how you landed your first client?

[@Ktstylexoxo]

Thanks for posting this! How do you know what content to make for your clients? And what is your schedule like?

[@Eli_Ya_FN]

So glad I found you!! I was hired to do social media management work for a non-profit organization. How do you charge for your work? Monthly basis or per project for social media? Thanks!

[@sydneyjae4304]

What do you use for on-boarding forms?

[@soloistnina9889]

Question love! I am highly interested in doing this but I don't want to go to college to learn this. Is there another way I can learn how to be a social media manager with no experience? Thank you!!

[@valeriabadillo]

Hi! What did you use to organize your meeting? Your structure looked soooo clean! I’m starting a Social Media Management job this week for the first time ever and I’d love to have a way to organize myself prior!

[@ForeveraDayDreamerxo]

Hi! Just curious, how many hours a day and week do you work? I'm also in social media and I'm still trying to get better organized working at home (and due to the pandemic and my mom working from home 3 days a week I've been so out of a routine for like the last year now 🙃)

[@RachelRothmanWhite]

When freelancing, I was working between 25 and 40 hours a week. Just depended on how much work the client needed!

[@nectarily]

[@grishmabai8490]

Could you please say how you got the job as social media manager?

[@janmichaelhinahon3312]

Hi, questions, when scheduling post to different social media, is that your client account? since you're working on an agency, all of the employees using the same account? Thank you for your answer

[@RachelRothmanWhite]

In my case, the client supplied the social media scheduling platform.

[@jessabessa4275]

Do you work free lance or for an agency?

[@BiancaJanel]

im looking into transition to be a social media manager and found your channel! :) new friend here!

[@sophiebullen6440]

How much is the Later subscription?

[@michaeljohnrugay766]

Love it

[@yeskaii]

I really want to study digital media/marketing. And outside that as a career path. Doing the same sorts of stuff as you, and working with photography teams, and modeling agencies and stuff. But I don't know where to begin, and I have so many questions

[@yeskaii]

It's starting to stress me out a bit, because I would love to do this, but don't know anyone that's doing this, so it feels very chaotic. But I have a good feeling that I’d enjoy and be good at it

[@deannconstantino954]

Hi, Rachel. Thank you for the informative video you shared. :) I'm just curious, do you post the same content to all of the social media platforms? Say, the content you posted in IG, is that the same content you post on your FB? Is that right? Thanks! :)

[@RachelRothmanWhite]

Depends, but normally you can be strategic about creating content that can be used for multiple platforms!

[@Shagunhomes01]

i want to work as an social media marketer , i am a new commer in this field but i am ready to work for less payments because i want to learn .

[@rizly7334]

Wait so you work at an agency and manage multiple media accounts? I thought just managing 1 account was something common

[@TanyaAlizaTV]

Hey Rachel. Do you have any good recommendations for SM marketing manager? I’m looking to hire one full time and I thought I would ask. We’re a pretty established company with good SOP’s. Thanks girl.

[@bellandlovu5506]
