FAQs

As a client, you should provide the freelancer with a comprehensive brand guide that outlines your brand's tone, voice, and mission. Additionally, sharing analytics and insights about your target audience will help the freelancer tailor their strategy to align with your brand's objectives.
Begin by outlining your goals in terms of engagement, growth, or content production. From there, you can break these goals down into specific tasks and timelines, and communicate these clearly with the social media manager. It's helpful to agree on milestones and metrics for success from the start.
Decide on a communication plan that includes how often you would like to receive updates, and in what format (e.g., email, video call, report). Make sure this is clearly communicated to the freelancer, setting expectations for reporting frequency, content, and meetings to discuss progress and adjustments.
