FAQs

What should I look for in a freelance social media manager’s portfolio?

Look for examples of past work that match your brand's style. Check if they have worked with other brands in your industry. See if they can create different types of social media posts.

How do I make sure the social media manager understands my brand?

Share your brand’s colors, logos, and any special things about it. Talk about what you want people to think when they see your posts. Ask if they have any ideas for how to show your brand online.

What should be included in the deliverables for a social media project?

Define the number of posts or campaigns you want each week. Decide if you need them to create graphics or writings for posts. Make sure both of you are clear on what's expected.

How can I agree on a strategy with a social media manager?

Discuss your main goals like growing followers or getting more likes. Talk about what platforms you want to focus on. Plan regular check-ins to see how things are going.
