SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER.
So, you think you want to become a
You heard it was a great way to make money, you’ve been on Instagram since you got your first cellphone (same!), and you have an eye for aesthetics that you think will translate well for an SMM career.
Well, at least not without a little bit of help.
BUT… ACTUALLY *DOING* IT? NOT AS EASY AS IT SOUNDS, I FEAR.
Most of what you’ve heard about social media management is true, but…
You know all the girlies online claiming that becoming a Social Media Manager is the world's easiest job, and that you’ll make ten thousand dollars overnight, and that you’ll be booked and busy with ideal clients faster than you can say “content!”?
They’re doing you a disservice by selling a dream that doesn’t come true as quickly as they promise.
Is it possible? Definitely. Is it that easy? Depends on who you ask, how you get started, and how much support you have.
SOME OF THOSE ONLINE COURSES PROBABLY LIED TO YOU.
TIKTOK MAKES IT SOUND SIMPLE—
As an experienced Social Media Manager with years of client management, strategy, mistakes, solutions, ups, downs, and in-betweens under my belt, I know what it actually takes to become a thriving SMM, with a sustainable business.
You may not be an overnight success, but you won’t be a one-post-wonder, either. With the support of a mentor who truly knows the ins + outs of what it takes to build a business on social media by managing clients’ social media, you’ll be able to confidently reach your goals, without the comparison, confusion, or burnout.
I’LL MAKE IT FEEL SIMPLE.
INQUIRE ABOUT MENTORSHIP
and I might be the only person as chronically online as you.
I’m sure you know all too well how social media slowly becomes a part of your identity, especially with new platforms, algorithms, trends, and success stories always capturing your interest.
I’m the same way. Having been on social media since I was literally ten years old, growing a photography account in middle school, becoming a skincare influencer by high school, and building my social media management brand by college, it’s safe to say I live and breathe social media.
Aside from making it my own personal mission to become my friend group’s go-to mixologist, helping people succeed on social media is genuinely my passion — which is why I became an SMM in the first place, AND why I’m so excited about the opportunity to help you do the same.
