But everyone is a social media manager nowadays!

Did you know?

71% small to medium businesses use social media to market their products and services,today.

So there is a good chance for you to get hired by atleast 0.001% of businesses.

Increased competition only means - increased potential in the niche business.

What are your thoughts on this?

I was terrified when I stepped out of a 9-5 and a stable pay- check. 😓

Let me give you the background story - I got my first “big-break” as a graduate, just before I graduated. 👩‍🎓

My 9-5 was not your typical 9-5.

I was paid a monthly salary - YES

However, it was completely remote and my first pay check was $1000. 💸

Sounds like a dream right? 💭

But what you DON’T see :

❌ Working for 12 hours straight.
❌ No holidays except Christmas
(not even weekends)
❌ Getting paid half of what my colleagues got, because I’m an Indian and my age (ofcourse!).

I continued this for a year, until I came across the word freelancing.

Honestly, I’m a hasty action taker, and with 1 month of little to no experience of freelancing in 2021 -

I quit my job 😓

What seems brave now, was really hasty - why?

👀 Dry Months (no cash flow)
👀 Living off my savings
👀 No future Plans.
👀 Lots of learning to do.

First 5 months of my freelancing journey were a nightmare.

But, I had no choice.

I could have had freelancing as a side hustle, but after working 12 hours and no weekends, it was really impossible for me to do so.

Normalise focussing on just one thing. ✨

Normalise not having back-ups. ✨

Normalise not having a “plan.”✨

To all those who can manage them, great! Nothing better, but there are people who can’t.

Who need that extra push, and that thrill.

I promise you if you work hard enough, everything will be worth it.

PS: Yesterday I made my revenue sheet again, couldn’t be happier.

Do side hustles intimidate you? Comment below.

🌸 Let me know which one was your favourite among them in the comments below. 🌸

🌸 - #1 reason I love it because they not only just provide marketing news but also a unique insight into the marketing campaigns.

🌸Social Media Today - This is my go-to place for news and trends about various platforms, and I guess the most commonly followed of the lot.

🌸Social Media Tea - They spill the tea about the realities of marketing which is overly glamourized. I absolutely love their anecdotes and witty remarks on the realities.

🌸 Social Media Examiner - One of the oldest favourites for beginners and advanced alike. They help you deal with the trends from the inside, plus their blogs - are a chef's kiss.

🌸 Marketing Examples - Practical marketing tips, seems easy to learn but definitely difficult to look for.
