Get Your Social Media Management Business Up and Running Smoothly

Whether you're already running your freelance social media management business or are still in the planning stages, what you really want is to make sure that you have everything you need to make money efficiently... but it's honestly been overwhelming!

You need organization, guidance and a step-by-step approach so that you know the best (and most efficient way) to get paid by clients, onboard and offboard them and the ACTUAL process of creating content and getting it approved.

(And then there's the more business-y stuff you've been avoiding like naming your business without the risk of getting sued and using contracts...)

You're either new to this freelance social media management business thing - or are already in knee-deep and are struggling with juggling all the tasks.

It's Time to Make A Successful Social Media Management Business Your Reality So That You Can Live the Life You Actually Want

shouldn't the classes be priced a lot higher? does this mean they're basic?

The classes used to be sold together in a $1,997 6-week program – but even with extended payment plans it didn't make the program as accessible as Shanté had wanted. In an effort to be able to serve even more up and coming social media managers, the program was split into individual classes.

She spent an entire summer building new curriculum, trainings, and resources to each class so that they work as fully stand-alone classes. Not only are the classes now priced more accessibly, they're also offered in multiple payment plan options along with 3rd party payment plan companies like Klarna, AfterPay, and PayPal.

With all of the updates and the ongoing weekly feedback and live sessions, if the program were sold in a package at the market rate, it would be a $5,000 program.

FAQ

when do the classes start?

The classes are always enrolling - which means you can join and start watching the pre-recorded classes right away!

Are there weekly calls I need to attend?

They're optional! Shanté provides feedback 3 different ways - either inside the course comments, during weekly feedback sessions, or during her weekly office hours (zoom call style!)

What will happen once I enroll?

You’ll be given access the full class curriculum, plus get added to the exclusive SMMI Mentee Hub (the mentee community) so you can  bounce ideas, ask questions, vent, celebrate and network with outside of class.
