love your videos! my question is ads. does the client pay for the ads plus my fee? or maybe pay a deposit the goes towards the ads? how do you structure this? also how do you manage all the accounts and passwords?
@EllenandTara
@EllenandTara 11 ай бұрын
you never should be paying for ads as the social media manager!! They pay for their ads via their ad account (get them to set it up so they own it and its linked to their credit card, then add you as an admin) then on top of that, they pay your management fee. This is something you would invoice your client for and they should pay up front. You can use Last Pass if you're worried about password security and sharing :)

Absolutely loved this video! I have a question, at 21:11, you mentioned that you don’t always have to make the content, if this is the case, how do you approach a biz ? Like wouldn’t they want the smm to give them the content and post it as well? Help 😅
@EllenandTara
@EllenandTara 6 ай бұрын
Clients will send me raw video and photos that I’ll edit, organise, add captions and posts. Sometimes I’ll also storyboard the content for them and send a list of video shots or trending audios. A SMM doesn’t always have to be a content creator or photographer as well. It will vary client to client and what they need 🥰

This was soooo helpful. I got a question though, how can you offer being only a strategist or a content creator or both. Like, should I offer packages with both in one or should I offer them separately in one presentation? Considering I am offering different tiers packages.
@EllenandTara
@EllenandTara 3 ай бұрын
Okay everyone will be different here, lean into your skills! You don’t have to do everything, and when you’re getting started I think it’s good to keep it simple. But you could expand to 4-5 packages if you want to offer all this. OR for example you could do three: the low entry level offer as a one off strategy/audit package, next package includes that audit PLUS social media management and then the next one is your premium offer that has all three: strategy, SMM and content creation. Then leave it up to your client to customise the offer from there xx
