Very helpful thank you Ellen☺️

Hi. How do you usually communicate with your international clients regarding the videos you want them to do? Do you use google sheets or any template for it? And how do they send you back the completed videos?

[@marcellapelomundo4324]

[@EllenandTara]

You're so welcome!

Can you do a video on how to contract people under you agency so you can balance multiple clients? ❤

[@EllenandTara]

I have a podcast episode in outsourcing I’d highly recommend checking out 😍

[@TheLway123]

I don't understand.. how are you able to hook into the trending audio when you edit in premier pro? I've always edited in premier pro and added the audio too but noticed that while Instagram picks up and matches where the audio is from, tictok does not... so I always have to add the audio after for tictok :( Do you not have this problem? Or am I completely missing something.... :(

[@EllenandTara]

I save the audio and keep a record of it there or add a link to the audio in my content calendar! So then when it comes time to post, I’ll airdrop from my computer, click on the audio link and upload. Always recommend this, don’t upload it as your own audio (unless it’s a TikTok going to Instagram and no one has uploaded that audio yet)

where did you get that chair?

[@EllenandTara]

Micro giant in Auckland!

[@claudiacastly]

What’s the name of that computer Or monitor ?

[@EllenandTara]

It’s just one of the cheap new iMacs!

[@michellemueller6479]

What is an efficient way to reply to comments or DM? Do you use separate app or tool other than IG and Facebook?

[@EllenandTara]

I use instagram itself. Otherwise if its lots of comments I do it through my computer on the FB business suite, this is very efficient

[@TalyTalia]

What is your podcast?

[@EllenandTara]

Dishing up Digital! Here's the direct spotify link so you know what it looks like, but it's also on most podcasting platforms if you search the name 🥰 open.spotify.com/show/32vVqeLz10XScx0Ru5oZDY?si=Cx_Twb-RSlG-piW9Q7N13A&

[@jreviralclipz]

What do you think about using Upwork to get started as a social media manager?

[@EllenandTara]

Go for it! Haven’t used it myself but know others who used it to get started :)

[@ellyshort-editor]

i want to be like you Ellen

[@Rosalinda_mendoza]

Do you provide the content? Like the topic?

[@Rosalinda_mendoza]

For example if they want you to post on TikTok would you come up with the video? Or they have to send you the video?

[@EllenandTara]

it depends on the client! I charge high premium prices so these days yes I do a lot of the content. I either film it for local clients OR I send very detailed story boards with ideas and scripts for clients to follow :)

[@lifewithamberb]

You said something happened to your feet from being cold. Please explain.

[@lifewithamberb]

I promise I’m not being weird lol I have a lot of trouble with my feet too and might have some tips. And I love learning nz local lingo

[@milxasap7412]

From what I understand, you usually work all day if you interact with the audience or work with other continents of the world. Maybe it is not even 8 hours a day but your mind is not shutting down of work.

[@EllenandTara]

You have the power to introduce boundaries and switch your brain off :)

[@prettysmartpresius]

I know you can't tell us everything bc your selling a course but I didn't feel like I learned anything...

[@EllenandTara]

And there are people in other comments who say they learned a lot! Each to their own. This was a basic vlog into what my average day looked like. If you are looking for more in depth strategies there are plenty of other videos on my channel or I have a whole podcast fully dedicated to conversations around social media and business. I do not hold things back simply because I also sell online courses. The only things I don’t share are where I don’t want to break the privacy of my client sharing confidential things :)
