Signs You Need to Hire a Social Media Manager

We all know that social media presence isn’t just a fun thing to have —it’s a must for growing your business. But are you starting to feel like social media is taking more time than it’s worth? Well, you’re not alone. I’ve seen so many business owners struggling to keep up with the never ending demands (why can’t the algorithms just stay the same?) of multiple social platforms while ALSO juggling endless to-do lists for their business. 

If you’ve noticed that your social media presence just isn’t what it used to be (or what you want it to be)- it might be time for you to reassess your strategy.

A social media manager could be just what you need to get things running smoothly again and help your business grow online. Here are some signs it’s time to bring one on board:

1. Your posts aren’t getting the likes, comments, or shares they used to.

If your social media engagement has tanked (where is the love?), it might be a sign that your audience isn’t connecting with your content the way they once did. Trends are ALWAYS changing, and a social media manager will be able to analyze what’s going wrong on your account and develop fresh content that resonates with your followers.

2. You’re too busy with other aspects of your business and social media keeps getting pushed to the back burner.

Trust me, I understand that running a business is a full-time job. That means social media is usually the first thing to take a back seat. A social media manager can easily take this off your hands and allow you to focus on what you do best—while still keeping your online presence strong. By investing in a social media pro, you’ll not only free up your time but you’ll gain a tailored strategy that can boost engagement, attract new customers, and ultimately help your business grow. Sounds good, right?

3. Your posting schedule is all over the place & you have no consistent strategy.

Randomly posting content on social media can confuse your audience and ultimately hurt your growth. It might be fun to post that funny cat meme - but is that post really going to drive your audience to your website…? Probably not. A social media manager is literally trained to create a tailored, consistent schedule and content strategy that aligns with your goals and will engage your followers regularly.

4. You find yourself stressing about your social media while you should be relaxing.

If managing your social media is keeping you up at night and preventing you from relaxing on the couch with Netflix…it’s time for a change. A social media manager can relieve some of that stress (and free up time) by taking care of those annoying tasks that keep your to-do list.

If any of this sounds familiar, it’s definitely time to invest in a social media manager! Imagine having more time to focus on the parts of your business that you love while your social presence thrives. It’s a win-win in my books.
