01 — "Overview"

Local businesses know they need social but have no time. $500–$1,500/mo per client is standard.

02 — "The Crash Course"

  1. Step 01

    Pick one local niche

    Restaurants, real estate agents, med spas, gyms or dentists. Niche content is easier to make and sell.

  2. Step 02

    Build a clear package

    e.g. 12 posts + 8 Reels + comment replies per month. Clear deliverables prevent scope creep.

  3. Step 03

    Land a case study

    Offer one business a free or discounted first month in exchange for a testimonial and results.

  4. Step 04

    Pitch in person and by DM

    Show them a quick mockup of what their feed could look like.

  5. Step 05

    Price monthly

    $500–$2,000 per client per month, depending on content volume.

  6. Step 06

    Batch content monthly

    Film at the business once a month, schedule everything with Later or Buffer.

  7. Step 07

    Report results

    Monthly one-page reports on reach, followers and leads. Results keep clients.

"The math"

4 clients × $800 = $3,200/mo for ~15 hrs/week.
