Oh if only I could tell you these were an April Foolsâ joke...
The second most asked question I get as a social media manager (SMM), (after the notorious âdoes it even pay your billsâ comment) is, what do you really do as a social media manager?
Well, every SMM would have a similar, yet unique response.
For me, I specialise in Instagram only, meaning I am the friendly voice and brain behind a brandâs beautiful Instagram presence, the one responding to all the comments & DMs, the one creating all the content ideas and inspiration boards, and the one filming/editing all that content.
Oh, and of course, the one posting that content every afternoon around 6 PM (or whenever my clientâs followers are most active).
And though that may seem pretty tedious, thereâs a reason this role is in such demand right now; not many business owners or celebrities have the time to manage the day-to-day tasks, which are crucial to maintaining a good online presence.
Anyway, as I write this while watching the sunset on my balcony, Iâm feeling immense gratitude that my iPhone storage didnât run out today and am feeling motivated to manually post the 4 reels for separate clients (because itâs prime time after all).
I encourage you to show some appreciation and gratitude to your SMMs, the unsung heroes of your online presence.
Lots of love xx
