How can I make sure the Instagram expert understands my brand's goals?
Before hiring, make sure to have a clear discussion about what your brand does and what you hope to achieve on Instagram. Share any marketing materials, past campaigns, or style guides with the expert. This will help them understand your brand and ensure their approach matches with your goals.
What steps should I take to define the deliverables with the Instagram expert?
Start by identifying what you need, like photo posts, stories, or live sessions, and how often you want them. Discuss with the expert to see if they have ideas to make those deliverables even better. Make sure to agree on what success looks like, whether it's more followers, likes, or comments.
How can I set clear expectations for the project's timeline?
Talk with the expert about how long each part of the project should take. Ask them to create a schedule with deadlines for when you'll see drafts and final posts. This way, both of you know what to expect and can avoid surprises.
What should I consider when preparing to review sample work from a freelancer?
Look for samples that are similar to what you want for your brand. Pay attention to how they use filters, captions, and hashtags. Decide if their style matches your brand's image and if you think they can bring something fresh and valuable to your social media presence.
