I do my own socials - why do I need a Social Media Manager?

Most of us have and use Facebook or Instagram, maybe even TikTok, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Snapchat. And as a small business owner, you may feel comfortable posting on your Facebook page…but are you only posting just when you remember to or can find a rare five minutes spare in your busy week?

Do you have a strategy for your social media posts that includes a variety of themes, a brand voice, and a clear purpose? Does your social media strategy consider the algorithms used? No? Well, then you may be missing an opportunity here.

Did you know that in Australia there are 21.45 million social media users with 6 million using social media for online shopping and 44.5% of Australians using Facebook!?

So let’s talk about algorithms! Facebook uses hundreds of variables and predicts the outcomes of your responses before you even see a post. When you start scrolling, that post you see at the top of your News Feed was selected over thousands of others as the post most likely to make you react and engage. That’s why quality content is so important! These algorithms are meant to filter out irrelevant and poor-quality posts so that the highest-quality content gets through.

Creating quality content is key and this is just one of many reasons why your business would benefit from hiring a social media manager.

Having a Social Media Manager in your corner can save you so much frustration and free up your time to focus on the other money-generating activities of your business.
