In this episode, I interview Christine, a social media manager who recently went full-time in her business. We discuss her journey from being a mechanical engineer to starting her own social media management business. Christine shares her experiences in scaling her business and getting more clients, as well as the challenges she faced in making the transition to full-time. We also discuss the highs and lows of being a social media manager and Christine's recommendation of the Dishing Up Digital School.

 

Takeaways:

  • Starting a business requires taking messy action and not waiting for everything to be perfect.
  • In-person outreach and networking can be an effective way to find clients.
  • Quitting a corporate job to pursue your own business can be terrifying, but it's important to trust in yourself and your abilities.
  • The favorite aspects of being a social media manager include content creation and the creative freedom it offers.
  • The most challenging aspects of being a social media manager include managing client expectations and task management.
