Yes! Another Rewind episode, but this was so popular and also happens to be one I still send to people when they ask me anything about needing experience in my dms. It's had a bit of editing done to the episode, but I still think you'll get a lot out of it today!
When I decided that I'd like to become a social media manager, I didn't think I would start my own agency or become a freelancer. I felt I needed to find a corporate job where I start as an in-house Social Media Manager. In today's episode, we're going to dive deep into this topic. I'm going to talk about how I got started, how I changed careers and got my first few clients, and how I built that up into a full-time gig. I'm also going to give you some tips and advice if you are in a position where you want to move into social media management, and you're trying to get your feet off the ground and get started.
In this episode, you'll discover...
- Pricing yourself as a beginner vs. pricing yourself as an experienced social media manager
- The perks of starting in social media management compared to other industries
- Why hands-on experience trumps a degree or qualification as a social media manager
- Different ways to get hands-on experience when you're starting out
