Great information, thank you

I have a lot to say about SMM. I didn’t create a LLC, or even a business name. I know the social media space well, I have a skill (video editing) and I know how to talk. This is all you need. Provide real, FREE value in the beginning & you’ll sign 90% of ur clients. Be genuine & confident. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. U might not make that 1k your first month, but what about in 3-4 months & u have all these recurring payments coming? It stacks. Embrace the journey.

[@documentedfacts]

Thank you for your word. How do I contact you for guidance as am about to start?

[@DasosBeats]

Would you suggest to just do the first year or half of the year for free and then start charging that same client? Because i don't really want to work for that client for free forever.

[@dokc5671]

@@DasosBeats start pricing the client after a month or you can say "I'll make you X amount of clients in X amount of time for free" and after you deliver it, you can start to charge them for your service

[@jtbtalks]

@@DasosBeats i would suggest to only do a free first month. The trick is, send them a demo video or 2. Free video and tell them hey even if you don’t wanna work together, here’s this awesome free video you can use. Law of reciprocity makes them feel like ah shit i gotta give this mf sum back.

[@DeVineDarla]

​@@DasosBeats a year and a half is way too long to work for free!

[@purposepassionsisterhood]

this is the only video on YT highlighting step by step what the exact tasks a SMM covers, thank you for sharing all the tips.

Thank you for this video! Very clear, concise information.

[@TeacherKellyTag]

Social media management has long caught my attention. I am still learning a lot about social media marketing because I am so new to it. Great video for information! I find information regarding social media management wherever I look but I don't feel like my questions are being satisfactorily answered. I was recently approached by a business about working as both their content developer and social media manager .If you can respond, I would appreciate it:)

[@iamcj_]

Hello

[@sophieokonji8465]

What sites/courses are you learning on? Also new to it all.

[@jessabulawin1593]

Love how informative this video is. The spelling correction made me chuckle. Great way to retain attention lol

[@ayotmisticka3768]

Thank you for this useful information...it is of late that I have been developing a passion for SMM. I literally feel like I have a looooooonnng way to go....However, its encouraging to have a community of like minded people with even much more experience and expertise.

That's an amazing video for beginners. I want to get a paid internship in the UK, USA, Canada, England, or UAE etc companies. Kindly give me ideas about how can i get a paid internship as a Social media manager

[@RichieDotsey]

Hello, very informative video! Everywhere I search I see info about social media management but I feel that I am not getting my questions answered. A company recently approached me to become their social media manager (hopefully I am using this term correctly) and be their content creator as well. I am videographer/photographer and did a promo video for their company for free as you mentioned on the video, they were impressed and they now want me to take over their company's instagram page and do 1 photo-post and 1 story per day + 4 videos per month. Basically I will be doing everything for them. 1st question: What is this called? Social Media Managing? Social Media Marketing? Or are they the same? Trying to search about the terms but I always get different results regarding them 2nd question: Being also a content creator, how do I figure out the pricing? Should I mention a particular pricing involving the content creation alone? Going there, shooting stuff and then editing at home etc. + different pricing for managing their social media? posting, copywriting? (Not sure if I am also getting to handle the ads but apparently they will ask me to do that as well) I hope you can help me out about how to do research about the matter. Thanks in advance

[@flick.social]

Sounds like you'll be doing social media management for them, if you're creating content, posting, and engaging with their audience! You should price it as a whole and not separate parts. Think of how much time will be spent doing everything and how much you would charge hourly for each of those parts. Don't price yourself low as you've already proven to them that you're worth the money! Be sure to get a contract in place that states how many hours of work you'll do for them and if you end up doing more hours, charge for each hour over! You need to be paid for your work!

[@RichieDotsey]

@@flick.social thank you very much for taking the time to answer and for your advice! I already met with the client but although I did a whole presentation with packages etc. they were a bit low budget. Ironically they have over 17 restaurants and they are building like 2-3 more, but they really don't want to pay for good quality content, but I've already been approached by other similar niches so I guess I can work things out!

[@Michaeltubix]

[@Anusiri-r9s]

Offering real value and expertise from the start will attract clients who value honesty. Don’t worry if growth seems slow at first-keep going with confidence, and you’ll build a loyal client base. Over time, those recurring payments will grow and turn into a steady income. Stick with it, stay genuine, and watch your impact and earnings grow.

Go beyond the "likes" and build your portfolio with real-world experience. While learning the tools and platforms is important, employers value hands-on experience. Offer your services to local businesses, volunteer organizations, or even friends to manage their social media. This allows you to showcase your skills and build a portfolio that proves your value.
