What do Social Media Managers do? Not all are the same!
Not all social media managers are made equal. Meaning that most concentrate on certain platforms or certain types of content. For example, I offer social media management in my business but I concentrate on video for my clients. So, If you are looking to use video in your business I would be the perfect person for you.
There are also some platforms that I do not manage, like Twitter. It is not a platform that I am an expert at, so I do not offer it as part of my management selection. So decide on your goals and what you need help with first.
