Short description Turn social media skills into a freelance business: niche, packages, pricing, finding clients, proposals, safe onboarding, content and reports. 51 written lessons plus 10 practice downloads.
Outcomes
  • Explain what a freelance social media manager does and doesn’t do, and decide whether the work suits you now
  • Choose a niche and turn your services into two or three clear packages on a one-page service menu
  • Build a portfolio before your first client with labelled practice brands, fair volunteering and honest case studies
  • Work out your minimum hourly rate from your own costs and hours, and price a package from the hours it takes
  • Find clients through people, referrals and partners, and keep cold outreach within PECR and the UK GDPR
  • Run a discovery call, write a proposal in the client’s words and know what a written agreement should cover
  • Handle scope creep calmly with a pause, options and a written change request
  • Onboard a client with access through your own login, never a password, plus two-step verification and a brand voice guide
  • Plan, batch, schedule and get written approval for a month of content, with permission for anyone shown
  • Look after comments and complaints, follow the CAP Code, label ads, use licensed music and make posts accessible
  • Choose measures tied to a client’s goal and write a clear, honest one-page monthly report
Requirements
  • You can already plan and post for a business on at least one platform
  • Social Media Marketing for Small Businesses and Freelancing for Beginners are helpful first, but they aren’t required
  • A spreadsheet app for the pricing calculator, content calendar and report template, plus a PDF reader and a text editor
  • No qualifications needed, and no paid tools: the course describes tools in general terms
