GET ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS I RECEIVE MOST OFTEN.
Social media management includes (but isn't limited to) content strategy, written posts, branded graphics, photo curation, follower engagement, inbox management, influencer partnerships, ads, seasonal campaigns, product partnerships ... the list could go on endlessly. In short — it's a fusion of creativity, calculated strategy, analytics, and customer service. A fantastic social presence takes a healthy heaping of time and energy, which is why you should work with me instead of trying to do it all yourself. ;)
Pricing varies depending on 3 variables:
1. Desired posting volume
2. Number of platforms
3. Company size
Packages are designed per request, meaning each contract is different depending on company needs. Minimal support can hover around several hundred per month, whereas mid to full-scale management ranges between $1,000 to $3,500 per month. Contact me to chat about your needs and get a quick estimate.
Absolutely! I've had the pleasure of creating seasonal campaigns, event-based campaigns, and a handful of other one-time projects.
Yes. An audit is a great place to start if you're feeling unsure about what exactly your business needs. Audits entail the following:
— Overview of current social metrics
— Analysis of audience demographics and interests
— Content review for consitency and quality
— Objectives and recommendations for moving forward
I won't lie; I'm a bit of a chameleon when it comes to my craft. While I'm open to any and all ideas, the following types of writing are my bread and butter (or pen and paper, if you will):
Article writing, newsletters, blogs, social media copy, website copy, ghostwriting, promotional writing, podcast descriptions, news & current events, interviews, event descriptions, company bios, brand stories, platform-specific content, and email marketing ... to name just a few.
My bylines have appeared in Business Insider, Fodor's Travel, SUITCASE Magazine, and Seeker. Head over to my portfolio page to read the latest and greatest.
Of course — before I even jump into design concepts, we'll go over the basics such as domains, hosting, features, and more. All consultation is included in the overall package; I'll be with you every step of the way.
Typically, I'll ask for 3-4 examples of websites that you admire to start. We'll take it from there to assess the more technical aspects that you need to support your customers.
When I was in college, I had so many iterations of what I wanted my career to look like. It started with what everyone else was doing — I applied to various corporate internships, only to feel like a fish out of water during the interview process and end up getting rejected anyway. I shifted towards pursuing advertising agencies after that, but something still wasn't quite right. I wanted the freedom and flexibility to travel so badly; I couldn't fathom being stuck behind a desk with limited time off.
During my senior year of college, I built a travel blog where I could practice my writing skills and also began reaching out to people in my network asking if I could help them with basic digital marketing initiatives. I saw some traction and kept going.
In May of 2018, I graduated college and booked a one-way ticket to Vietnam with only a couple hundred bucks worth of projects booked for the following month. It took months of uncertainty, super budgeted living, and a whole lof of creativity; but by early 2019 I had scaled my work to full time.
Since then, I've continued to grow and expand my offerings — calling both Australia and Indonesia home in the process. It's a constant learning experience and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I would love to; I offer 1 on 1 coaching sessions for aspiring freelancers and solopreneurs. I know what it's like to live on a budget when you're getting things started, so I'm happy to work with yours. Learn more about that here.
I could truly write a novel, but here are a few ideas to get you started:
1. Assess your skill set — but don't be afraid to try multiple things at once.
2. If you don't have materials for a portfolio, invent your own projects to use as work samples.
3. Reach out to people in your network to see if anyone needs support in x, y, z. You need small projects to start off with.
4. Check out some freelancer platforms like Upwork and Fiverr.
5. Be patient! It's going to take a lot of work, and it'll probably be slow for a while, but the hard work is so worth it.
