Dishing Up Digital with Ellen Mackenzie | Social Media Management & Strategy

Can You Become a Social Media Manager With No Experience?

Listen Later

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
