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
