It's incredibly easy to become burnt out as a social media manager. It's not like it's a 'post to Instagram' + then you're done job. (Despite what some people think)

It's a job that never switches off. There's always posts to share, comments to respond to, content to create, trends to keep up with + new features to learn (cheers IG).

And even when you close your laptop at the end of the day, it's easy to open up the apps on your phone + start scrolling. If you're not careful, your brain will stay in 'work' mode.

So what can you do to avoid becoming overwhelmed, exhausted, burnt out + resentful of your clients?

Tune into this episode of The Price with Confidence Podcast where I’m sharing the signs you’re on the brink of burnout + how to avoid becoming completely burnt out as a social media manager.

When I started out as a social media manager in 2017, I felt like I couldn’t charge what I needed for my services because I was new. I had limited experience, I was self taught and I definitely wasn’t the best social media manager out there.

The idea that I had to be the best to get paid well left me under-earning, overwhelmed and on the brink of burnout.

The truth is, you don’t have to be the best to be paid what you deserve and in this episode of The Price with Confidence Podcast I’ll be diving into how imposter syndrome can affect the price you charge and why you’re worthy of being paid well, even if you’re not the best in the world.

Choosing what to charge for social media management services is a decision that can be overwhelming, confusing and difficult to make.

It’s common for people to think they have to price their services based on how many posts they’ll be sharing for their clients but actually, this isn’t true.

In this episode of The Price with Confidence Podcast, I’ll be sharing how to price your services as a social media manager without including the number of posts you’ll share and how you can respond to potential clients who want to know how often you’ll be posting.

If you’re running a business as a social media manager, chances are you’ve been told you’re too expensive at least once.

In the early days of my business, I’d accept their opinion of my price - and instantly drop what I charged to suit that opinion - because I was so desperate to hear the yes.

After working to increase my confidence and self worth, I realised I wasn’t too expensive and my services were most definitely worth the price tag I’d placed on them.

I stopped dropping my prices and learned how to confidently respond when someone believed I was too expensive. In this episode of The Price with Confidence Podcast I’m sharing a 4 step strategy that you can use the next time someone questions your price.

We’ve all been in situations where someone - intentionally or unintentionally - has tried to undervalue us as a social media manager.

Maybe they wanted you to drop your prices or expected a response from you at 11pm.

If you have a moment of doubt or you lack confidence, it may feel easier to lower the price to hear the yes or respond to the email for fear they’ll sack you.

But you deserve to be valued and to ensure you are, it’s important you value yourself first which is why in this episode of The Price with Confidence Podcast, I’ll be sharing 3 steps you can take to make sure you don’t undervalue yourself and what you can do if someone tries to undervalue you.

We’re all guilty of this when we lack confidence in our pricing.

We get on a call with a potential client, discuss their needs, think about our packages and then worry they won’t be able to afford to pay our prices.

And sometimes we drop our prices before we’ve even given the client a chance to pay our actual price. (Or was that just me?)

This guesswork around what someone will or won’t pay is harming your business and in this episode of The Price with Confidence Podcast I’m going to share with you why it’s so damaging and what your responsibility is when it comes to your prices.

We all make mistakes.

It’s a natural part of life.

And thankfully, those mistakes teach us valuable lessons that improve not only our lives but can also improve other people’s lives when we share our wisdom.

Because you only know what you know, right?

That’s why, in this episode of The Price with Confidence Podcast, I’m sharing 5 common mistakes you could be making when it comes to what to charge for your social media management services and what to do when you realise you’ve made a mistake (hint: it isn't to beat yourself up!).

There are many different pricing strategies you can use to work out what to charge as a social media manager.

Based on my own experience of undercharging and learning how to increase my prices with confidence, I’ve developed my own Price with Confidence Method that works for me and works for the hundreds of social media managers around the world who’ve used it.

That being said, I don’t believe there’s one single strategy that works for everyone. I believe it’s very much down to the individual to choose what one suits them and price their services based on that.

However, there is a pricing strategy that I completely disagree with. A strategy that teaches you if you’re rich, you’re worthy and if you’re poor, you're worth-less.

In this episode of The Price with Confidence Podcast, I’ll be sharing the worst pricing strategy you can use as a social media manager and how you’ll feel when you’ve found the right strategy for you.

A few months into my business as a social media manager, I saw a video that changed everything for me.

Whilst I hadn’t charged an hourly rate, I had used an hourly rate to create my packages (and then did something shocking when I worked out the price!).

The video I watched made me see things from a whole new perspective and showed me exactly why charging an hourly rate for your social media management services is the worst thing you can do if you want to grow a successful business.

In this episode of The Price with Confidence Podcast I’ll be sharing that same information with you as well as what you can do instead of using an hourly rate in your business.

I started out charging ridiculously low prices as a social media manager.

(Honestly, you won’t believe the amount I charged my first client!)

When I realised how my prices were leading to overwhelm, anxiety and were definitely not giving me the life I’d dreamed of, I knew I needed to increase them.

Over the course of 6 weeks, I increased my confidence which enabled me to increase my prices and recognise that I was worthy of being paid well for my services.

When you learn how to price with confidence as a social media manager, everything changes. In this episode of The Price with Confidence Podcast I’ll be showing you just how much of an impact what you charge for your services can have on you, your life and your business.
