I designated with "good things will happen". Currently, rent is past due for the first time ever. I am not making a solid income to support my lifestyle as yet, but I know as long as I make action towards my goal, good things will continue to happen. It's been 6 months without a 9 to 5 job and I've decided over the weekend to go into this social media management field. This video is a small action and I will be acting on the steps you mentioned daily. Thank you!

Oh niching down is one of the most important part of being successful with social media managing. However for people that are starting out I usually recommend to try 2-5 niches and see what they enjoy the most. Thanks so much for sharing Latasha

I feel like your content is underrated. You are honestly amazing! You offer so much value and explain things really well. Thank you so much!

I need 1 more client to become fully booked (for now at least), so this comes in handy!

[sarahpeltzer]

I love the structure of the video. Thank you for segmenting them into topics and giving them separate headings. This makes it easier to refer back to what you said.

Dang, you're good. Just found you and followed. Signed, a PR professional

I am starting from scratch and just discovering this video today. So helpful and the tip on raising prices is important. I started at $20 an hour but I realized the work was more $45 than anything else. And guess what. Clients do pay for the additional value. Thank you.

[bethanewright]

I feel like we're all working towards being booked out and busy haha!

[jananina]

honestly you are one of the most inspiring women on youtube! I absolutely LOVE your content. thanks for sharing! <3

[nicolettemichele]

This was really insightful, great video Latasha!

[garzasidney]

Your content is always so valuable thank you for sharing!

[ashgandawa]

I've played this back three times just so I can take notes. I'm a graphic and web designer, and these tips are SUPER useful! Thank you for the high-quality content you provide. I have a question about charging more though. Would you advise having fixed prices for specific project types and publicly displaying those prices?

[chaalmeida]

Thanks for these great and actionable tips, Latasha :) I think I need to get louder and have a more conversational way of "selling" :) Love your videos

[kimmanrique]

Thank u so much for sharing Latasha. 🌟 Greetings from Peru.

[MarketingHarry]

Great tips, Latasha. These advices will really help anyone to be fully booked! 😉 Auditing your sales experience is really important, glad you raised this up.

[wrestlingwithdisney]

Found this insightful and has me rethinking some things!

[kellyho-sang]

Question for Latasha or fellow SMMs . When talking about USPs. Can a unique selling point be really effective project management skills? I found in my personal experience people really loved either my copywriting skills or how I’m able to take them from vision to execution which ultimately leads to more bookings/website visits

[baniflavor]

New sub here and I like your videos, also an entrepreneur myself 👍🏻

[AnitaBarneycastle]

Wow! I was getting really confused about marketing to your niche versus marketing to your peers. Thank you for the clarification ☺!

[Jennifferxox]
