Social Media Managers Don't Come Cheap




If you have a business you will probably have noticed that most businesses today have gone online. They have a website, they are active on Facebook and other social media networks but … and I emphasize BUT… their business has not grown and neither has their number of customers. Why is that?

As any Social Media Manager will tell you, it’s because these businesses have not hired a Social Media Manager. Most likely you don’t even know what a SMM is or does. Let me tell you.

A SMM is a professional networker. He has (maybe) completed a SMM course, for which he paid a lot of money, and is now an expert in Social Media management. He will tell you how to run your business online, or, rather, how he will run your business online.

First you need a website, then you need to join as many social networks as you can manage. No. Wait a minute. You cannot manage them. The Social Media Manager is the expert so he will run them for you, that’s why  you need to hire him.

He will start by giving you a Report (an analysis of where your business stands online). The Report is free but his services aren’t.

For $500 to $1000 a month (yes, that’s correct, per month) he will “manage” your social networks, that is, he will publish valuable content on your networks thus bringing in new clients to your business. Hopefully. If that doesn’t work, he will ask you more money so that he can run PAID ads on FB or wherever you want. Obviously you need to dish out more money. In other words, you pay the Social Media Manager for running your social networks, but he doesn’t bring in more customers so you have to give him more money for the ads. At this point you must be wondering if it wouldn’t be cheaper if you enrolled in a Social Media Manager course and run your social networks yourself.
