I once had a client, 4.5 years ago, when I was a baby SMM who preferred to communicate with me via Instagram DMs.⁠ ⁠ And she was frustrated when I didn’t write back immediately. ⁠ ⁠ After 3-4 times when I wrote back many hours later to her she asked “Isn’t Instagram like your life? Why are you not in the DMs?”⁠ ⁠ No, it’s not my life. ⁠ ⁠ It’s my job. ⁠ ⁠ When I told her that I actually never have any Instagram notifications on either...she probably fell off her chair!⁠ ⁠ She replied in disbelief, “A SMM not having Instagram notifications on her phone????” I didn’t respond with what I wanted to...which was “can you imagine if I had notifications on for all 30+ accounts I manage?????”⁠ ⁠ If you’re a baby SMM or a multiple six fig agency owner, don’t be afraid to:⁠ ⁠ 👉Reinforce your boundaries as much as you need to⁠ 👉Be clear about which communication channels you will use with your client (and solidify this in your social media management services contract)⁠ 👉Just because social media is open 24/7, doesn’t mean your social media management business must be⁠ ⁠ Share to Stories if you agree!⁠ Also psstt… if you need help setting up your social media biz, comment below ‘SOCIALSOS’ to book a strategy call with me! Let’s talk systems, boundaries & comms strategies that protect your energy 👏 ⬇️ Have you had a client like this before? How did you gently remind them that IG is your job, not your life? by @askaniacoach

It’s the unsexy part. The part that you have to learn how to do the unscalable before you scale. It’s what most people want to skip in this space and jump from a $300 SMM client to $10k months. They don’t want to do the work for two reasons: 1️⃣They see everyone and their grandma go from $0 to $10k months as social media managers (according to the countless Reels they see) 2️⃣They think it’s easy to get to $10k/$20k/$30k months as a SMM As someone who works with SMMs who make $500 a month and those who make $60k/month (yes, you read that right), every single SMM that is actually QUALIFIED and MAKING thousands of $$$ as a SMM is actually doing so because they did the work, and they did the unscalable first. My first contract for SMM was $180/month. I did full SMM for them in 2020. Now that’s less than my hourly rate. But I worked my way up to charge $2/3/5k/client on a monthly basis and to have a booming SMM agency with 8 contractors. So before you complain that you don’t know how to scale or can’t scale because you’re too small/inexperienced/don’t have enough clients… just remember that you’re probably exactly where you need to be. Do the work. Charge the $180/month. Get the experience. Gain the trust, grow your confidence, and grow your business over years, not months. And if you’re looking for a SMM coach that has not only “done it” but keeps “doing it” as in, is a SMM first and a coach second, I’m your gal. Hire me by tapping that link in my bio for a quick 60 min sesh, join my SMM membership for $35/month or DM me about my1:1 program! PS. Back with the spice today apparently 🌶️🌶️🌶️ ⬇️ What was YOUR first paying client??? by @askaniacoach

This was too relatable not to repost haha!! Do you also dream of digital detoxes, but the algorithm says, “Not on my watch?” 😩 Being a social media manager means you're chronically online—even when you're off. 💡This is your reminder to set boundaries, schedule breaks, and stop scrolling after 9pm (yes, we said it 🙃). You can grow your brand without burning out… ✨I’m opening up 4 spots for 60-minute strategy calls with me again in May (and ONE spot on April 23 if you want it)! You can ask me Qs, I can help you review your profile and content, review your funnel for getting clients (or recommend how to create one), and so much more. Drop the word SOCIALSOS below and let’s get you booked in ASAP before we run out of calls! Tag your fave SMM bestie who will relate to this 💬 by @askaniacoach

Lol anyone else relate to this struggle?? 🙋‍♀️ As SMMs, we’re not just filming for fun— It’s all about crafting content that matches our clients’ brand, voice, and goals. Precision matters in content creation, and the smallest details can make or break a video’s impact. Here’s a peek at our process: ✨ Step 1: Pre-Filming Prep We plan every shot to align with the client’s vision, whether it’s a product showcase or a talking reel. ✨ Step 2: Filming Day Lights, camera, tripod! We capture tons of raw footage to keep edits seamless. ✨ Step 3: Editing Magic Hours of trimming, tweaking, and polishing to deliver content that looks amazing and most importantly, connects with audiences. ✨ Step 4: Client Review & Final Touches We refine every detail before scheduling posts for maximum impact. How much time do you usually spend fine-tuning your edits? ⬇️ (And don’t forget to follow @AskAniaCoach if you’re a SMM for helpful, realistic advice from someone who runs a SMM agency! 🌶) 🎥 Team members in this video: Hanishka (& frustrated Ania 😉) by @askaniacoach

With me being in this season of sharing the real stuff... 💭💭💭 (If you missed it, I’ve been opening up about what it’s actually like running a social media agency and coaching SMMs, even when things aren’t as perfect as they might seem from the outside. It’s not all highlight reels and polished graphics—it’s real, messy, and human. ❤️) So here’s Confession #2 in my truth series, because I know I’m not alone in this: 💌😳🤫 CONFESSION TWO 💌😳🤫 I live with chronic anxiety, and that means some days I can’t do everything I want to do because the overwhelm takes over and I end up doing... none of it. It means I doubt myself as a leader—constantly reminding myself to breathe, not to overthink client emails, and to trust that I’m good at what I do (even when anxiety whispers otherwise). It’s exhausting and isolating, and I don’t always know how to quiet the noise. Does anyone else feel this way? How do you handle it? I’d love to hear your thoughts. 🙏 (And if you're here already don't forget about my Black Friday deal - book a strategy call with me for your SMM biz for $127 for these 3 days only, and you can book anytime before January 31, 2025!
