Hi Ellen. Thank you for posting this video and going over the most common topics for a beginner. I’m just getting started with my first client so this is extremely helpful.

Girl, such a refreshing perspective on the basics. Thank you for being willing to answer our basic questions!

this was actually so informative thank you!

Thank you for all your help!

Thank you so much for all this information!

Hi Ellen! Great videos I've watched a few and I appreciate your honesty in this business. When it comes to social media platforms, which platform(s) do you use to manage your social media accounts for your clients? There are so many and I'm not sure which one to consider. Thanks!

this video is sooo helpful!! ty

Love you. Thanks for the information.

Part 2 please ! I just started my SMM journey and your tips have already helped me a million, Thankyou❤️ 1 thing I would like to know is how you create your own contract and what should be included in it ?

@Ellen: This is the second social media management video that I have watched (here on KZfaq) that not only baked the cake, but put the cherry on top. Well done! This video was very detailed and helpful. Those are two very important things for videos to have. Especially videos that are trying to teach you something. Also, I like your accent, cheerful and positive personality. The US salary was a bonus.👍🏻 Thank you for making and sharing this video. If you haven't done so already, please make a Part 2 of this video. I have a few questions. 1) What kind of social media job would you suggest for someone who only wants to do the following for a client: Post pics, videos, respond to comments, monitor likes? (Excluding any of the business, analytic, SEO, etc related) 2A) How much would they get paid (US) per hour for carrying out those tasks ? 2B) What would the US salary be per hour to manage someone's KZfaq account? 3) Out of the following, which one has a high demand for social media managers (KZfaq, Instagram, Tik Tok, Twitter or Facebook) ?

Thank you for this. I need a career change and slowly but surely looking into my options

Really great, thank you so much!!!

thank you, thank you, thank you! This has helped me a lot. You really tell the truth! I will definitely be taking your course. I took 3 courses and it didn't really seem to help me much.

thank you so much!!

Thank You!

THANK YOU FOR SHARING

Hi Ellen, Thank you for sharing.

Thank you. This is great video and it REALLY does answer question of how to start as a social media manager. I was wondering if you have a video or course where I can deep dive on this. I especially struggle with posting stories on behalf of my client, as they don't want to show up there. Thanks

absolutely I’d love to watch part 2❤️ Do you think online not free courses for becoming a smm are important? And if yes, what kind of courses or specific course do you suggest us? I would love to know about that and thanks for being so inspirational ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ do more content like this pls😮😮❤️

I'm switching my career from copywriter to social media manager and this is the first video I'm watching. Thank you, Ellen. Not sure how I'm gonna land my first client but I'm sure I'm gonna find a video from your channel. :)

great video , thnx

Thank you so much!

Things to do research on: hashtag strategy , how to write a caption, engagement, stories/reels

Hi Ellen, thanks for this really helpful video!! I have one client right now and would to reach out to brands to get a few more. One thing I would like to know is if I should put my package prices in the first pitch I will send them? Or is it best to wait and talk about prices once they replied and showed interest? Thank you!

Great informational video. Thank you. I am more confident with Facebook. I am just a beginner at Social Media. I have a customer that just hired me for social media management. Do you have any suggestions as to what to do first?

When you get the clients what are the questions you would ask them that you need for the management

just found you ! you have my dream job

Part two🙌🙌

Simply genius.

Love this video! Side note: You look a lot like Love from You!

Tons of great info to add to all of my notes to get this business up and running. Just curious if you have any sort of startup guide, kit, forms, etc. that I can use as a guide while first getting clients to keep me on track of all the information I need to be getting.

Thanks a lot.

Part 2 please!

Part 2 !!

Hi Hellen thanks for the tips .I would like to become a SMM also .where do I start to study I meant which is the genuine website course to study online ?

Hi I love your videos! I just want to ask if you would usually charge by hour or a project? I was asked what's my hourly rate and don't know what is the best way to answer this question

Whats a custom content?

I don't understand how do you manage different social media accounts Instagram accounts do you use a specific tool do u log into their accounts how

Does it require any degree for example marketing degree?

In the Philippines, we only charge 4-5 usd per hour🙈

is there any thing that needs to be done as like a prerequisite for doing this? like i know sometimes starting a business requires a certification or a license, and you have to register your business and it’s like a whole process. what does that look like for this particular business model?

What size business would you approach when first starting?

How do you schedule posting and where do you go for researching hashtags? Great video btw love it ill follow you now

Going to start instagram marketing

Nice video!!!! Please name a few brands you work with. I would like to take a look.

Thanks so much for your support on this video! I have filmed a part two here if you'd like to check it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8-WgtqGz8fOenk.html

Yay! Best thing to wake up to

Niiiiiiice

But how to catch a client

Im debating sooooooo much between doing a course of SMM or ppc manager and I just cant decide :(

where is your top from? it's so pretty

Hi guys i am 13 and I really want to be a social media manger but i don't know where i can find a clint dose anybody know where i can find one ??😊

Great Video!!! Out of curiosity, can a person from a different country be a social media manager of a company that is in a different country?

Do I have to be a good editor and shoot photos for clients?

Love it

I'm a beginner please don't be offended if I want to do the job do i meet people that have online trades then promote it on my page or what?

Hey! Is there anyone interested in learning smm and wanna learn together?

WAY too many ads!!!!! You can't be a successful #socialmedia manager since you have to monetize your #youtube videos.

How do you aproch the costumers? Do you walk in to stores and ask? Or you message on Instagram. Would you use your private Instagram for writing them or make a company one? Thank you so much for making this video. I would love a part 2

Just subscribe to your IG. Thanks for sharing. My favorite part is how Instagram is a great platform for freelancing.
