It can be really expensive!
For an agency to manage your account – including writing posts, creating images, hashtags research, responding to comments and DMs, engaging with other accounts, creating IG stories, running ads and everything else, you’re looking at $1,500 a month... as a starting price.
Ouch! A freelancer might be slightly less depending on their experience and how much you want them to do. But you’re still looking at hundreds and hundreds a month. Which if you’re a small business starting out, isn’t exactly spare change.
No matter how much experience an agency or freelancer has, they’ll NEVER have the same passion for your business as you do – it’s simply not their baby.
They won’t have an intimate understanding of your customer’s needs, your unique voice and tone, your offering and your business needs. They won’t have the natural inclination to nurture its growth in the same way you do.
An agency’s hours and responsibilities will be fixed
Meaning if you want to test out a random new idea at a minute’s notice, or try out some new feature that was not included in their original contract, you’re either going to need to do it yourself, or cough up the extra cash.
But Imagine having the skills to do it all yourself - to have the knowledge so that YOU can get powerful results.”
To have the creative and strategic skills to consistently create compelling content on the fly.”
So instead of spending money outsourcing to someone else, you're making money as a result of your badass expertise (***cue empowered Beyonce song).”
