social media manager for hire
i shoot it, cut it, post it, and answer the dms. a whole content team for less than one salary. tehachapi, bakersfield, antelope valley, la.
why one hire usually does not fix it
most people who post a social media manager job are actually looking for four people: a strategist, a photographer, an editor, and someone patient enough to answer dms. one full-time hire gets you one of those on a good week, and you still buy the camera.
i run all four. a shoot day fills the calendar, the edits go out on schedule, and the replies land in your voice. you look at one report a month and one invoice.
what is included
shooting days
i come to you. product, staff, storefront, job site. actual photos and vertical video, not stock.
editing + design
reels cut for retention, carousels that read on a phone, graphics that match your brand instead of a canva template.
posting + scheduling
instagram, facebook, tiktok, linkedin, google business profile. posted at the times your audience is actually awake.
comments + dms
replies in your voice, leads routed to you the same day. this is where the bookings actually come from.
monthly report
reach, saves, profile visits, and inquiries. one page, plain english, with what changes next month.

before you post the job
how much does it cost to hire a social media manager?
a full time social media manager in california is a full salary plus taxes, benefits, and gear. freelancers charge hourly. my managed retainers are custom quoted monthly depending on platforms and shooting frequency, and that includes photo and video production, which most freelancers charge separately for.
do you actually shoot the content or do i send you photos?
i shoot. that is the whole point. sending your manager phone photos is why most small business accounts look tired. i come out, shoot a batch, and edit it into a month of posts.
which platforms do you manage?
instagram, facebook, tiktok, linkedin, pinterest, and google business profile posts. i recommend two platforms done well over five done badly, and i will tell you which two based on where your buyers actually are.
are you local or remote?
the studio is in tehachapi. i shoot on location across kern county, bakersfield, mojave, california city, the antelope valley, and los angeles. remote only management is available anywhere.
who owns the content?
you do. every raw file, every edit, every login stays yours. if i part ways you keep the whole library, no hostage situation.
