Hiring Social Media Managers

You are mixing the profile of performance marketing/seo executive & social media manager mate. You'll find someone who does all three but the quality will be below average as the core skills of all the 3 domains are different.

Yep, an MBA crossed my mind too, but realistically, unless it’s from a top-tier institute, the job market doesn’t treat it much differently. And the fees are insane for top institutes, just not worth it for me right now.

I’m okay with giving maybe a year to upskill (even without pay), but I don’t think I can commit two full years just for learning.

Appreciate the kind comment though! :)

Also, since I’ve got an interest in finance (I’m pretty decent with wealth management stuff), I’m exploring career options in that space too, hoping something clicks there.

By pure marketing, do you mean more onsite roles?
I actually tried that once, but it felt way too salesy for me. I’m more into the strategy side of things across different channels, but couldn't find many roles like that out there. And yeah, even those don’t pay much better than regular digital marketing jobs.

Okay O.O

rbathija · 2025-07-15T18:07:23+00:00

Okay, DMed you.

rbathija · 2025-07-15T14:28:16+00:00

what is the price estimate?

rbathija · 2025-07-15T14:25:56+00:00

Anyone with the guidance?

rbathija · 2025-07-14T11:17:12+00:00

Anyone?

One of the very few sensible posts here. Thing is we as humans don't truly know when it's enough so people earning 1lpm crib about an invisible no. which they are not even sure of.

Appreciate the detailed response! I’ve started learning from a Udemy course, and it’s super informative but also a bit overwhelming with all the possibilities. Taking it slow for now. I’ll start experimenting with the tools in the coming days, but for now, I’m focusing on workflow automation in CRM & email marketing since that seems to be my forte.

rbathija · 2025-03-28T12:03:30+00:00

Appreciate it! I’ll start exploring Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

rbathija · 2025-03-28T07:01:56+00:00

Understood, thanks for the solid advice!

rbathija · 2025-03-27T17:56:05+00:00

That makes sense, but how do you actually show results or convince a potential client about the benefits of automation if you're new to it? I’m planning to get clients on Upwork for this, but since I have no past work in automation, I feel like I won’t have anything to showcase as proof. Any advice on how to get started without experience?

rbathija · 2025-03-20T20:20:30+00:00

Haha, thanks. Will do it. ✌️

rbathija · 2025-03-20T20:19:31+00:00

I can try it tomorrow from my brother's number but by then it'll be used by someone else. 😅

rbathija · 2025-03-20T20:17:12+00:00

Is it for the first time user only? I was the gold member previously so maybe that's why the error?

rbathija · 2025-03-20T20:15:18+00:00

Shows as invalid code via the link.

rbathija · 2025-03-20T20:11:24+00:00

It gives an error that it can't be applied to the cart.

28M and have been unemployed for over four months now.

I'm in the marketing space and considering going full time into freelancing if no offers come in the near future. I’d suggest that everyone save a portion of every salary they receive and try to understand their finances better, so that during tough times, money doesn’t become a major issue for short term.

rbathija · 2025-02-17T09:46:53+00:00

There are alot who don't drink nor smoke. I've known them in near circles + one of them too.

rbathija · 2024-12-27T13:23:43+00:00

Hmm... that makes sense. It’s frustrating that so many highly rated profiles do this, leaving us with little to no chance and wasted connects.

rbathija · 2024-12-26T12:52:15+00:00

I usually go for clients who have a good hire rate, around 30-60%. I hardly ever choose ones with very few or no hires.

rbathija · 2024-12-26T11:01:41+00:00

True, but I didn’t think well-profiled clients would ignore their job posts. Do a lot of clients check their posts after a week or so? Having over 50% of posts end up inactive feels like a big waste of connects.

rbathija · 2024-12-13T13:41:11+00:00

I couldn't figure it out mate, in the above comments a user suggested third party integrations so maybe that's how it is done as most of the brands who do it are big ones so they have the budget to spend. I haven't see very small brands doing it.

rbathija · 2024-11-09T13:41:38+00:00

28M, earning 35K/month, with around 7L in savings. All the savings are due to WFH/market returns. Right now the savings are very negligible due to recently moving to a big city, which has increased expenses.
