My dream job fell in my lap🥰

Wow! I never thought I’d have my dream job at this age. Social media management is so important now that many businesses are putting their money to hire social media managers. Here’s how i got started.

1) I grew up creating on social media

I started creating vacation videos, YouTube covers and even streamed on twitch. This was before I know that social media management was even a career. Luckily i have years of filming and editing experience from that.

2) I started creating social media posts at my old workplace.

I was the general manager of a gym. I loved fitness and I thought that social media management was just a part of all of my duties. Which is crazy! I was sooo over worked. Expected to make sales, schedules, train, clean the bathrooms literally everything lol A lot of our leads came from social media so i was very active and created trendy reels on social media

3) I applied for my first social media producer position.

This is the job I’m currently at now. I used my experience of growing up creating content, and creating content for my previous job for my portfolio. I now work for a destination marketing organization. Marketing our city as a destination! :)

4) signed clients!

I also have two clients on the side that pay me monthly. If i could go back i would rewrite a more strict content. Luckily one of my clients are really laid back. But i would definitely recommend setting guidlines for content so you’re not editing all day everyday!

What else would you like to know? I’d love to answer any questions!
