Can You Become a Social Media Manager With No Experience?

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 Thank you so much for listening.

Om Podcasten

The Dishing Up Digital Podcast is here to empower social media managers to build their dream life and business. In this podcast, you will learn everything there is to know about being a successful social media manager. From social strategy and Instagram hacks through to practical business advice like how to host a sales call or the mindset of an entrepreneur. I started my business as a small side hustle and quickly discovered the demand and growth potential in this industry. Within 10 months, I had scaled my business to match my corporate job and decided it was time to leave the 9-5 world and go all-in on my business. Now I run a six-figure agency and coaching business from the comfort of my own home in New Zealand! If you're ready to create your own life of freedom, you've come to the right place. Grab a cup of tea or a glass of rose, and let's turn those dreams into a reality.
