Tips we'd give to a beginner freelance social media manager
DONT OVERPROMISE
It's better to exceed expectations than commit to something you can't maintain
JUST START!!
There's never a "perfect" moment. You don't need contracts, websites, or everything perfect from day one. You'll learn and figure it out as you go.
DOCUMENT EVERYTHING
Show up online as much as you can, share the journey & your highs and lows - It builds credibility and confidence for you AND your future clients.
USE YOUR INNER CIRCLE
Look in your inner circle for your first few clients. You'll be surprised who needs help and who will then recommend you to others.
our biggest tip!!
DONT LET YOUR OWN MARKETING SLIP
Even when you become busy with clients, keep your own marketing a priority. You will always have some clients move on from you (for numerous reasons) so ensuring those fresh enquiries are still coming through is SO important to make this sustainable!
