Hi all, A potential client is asking me to do social media consulting. They want me to come up with an IG growth strategy (with shoutouts only) + implement it. How much would you recommend that I charge them for this service? Thanks! ---

Depends on what you have to offer honestly. The quality as well and the way delivered. A lot, people charge hundreds for this kind of shit. Depending on the company. Keep in mind the time it takes, and a full time employee at minimum wage cost 2k a month basically in the USA ---

I’d charge $100+/hr for a phone consultation. I know people who charge 5x that for Instagram account audits. I’d then charge $300+ monthly for any strategy more resource and time intensive than follow/unfollow. ---

Thanks, yes I’ll definitely take into account minimum wage and the time it takes 🙂 ---

No where near $2k but good things to consider. In my hometown min wage is $7.25 $7.25x40x4=$1160 and there’s places with lower min wages in America. The average single person household income is around $15k yearly in America. ---

I like to price based on the value of the service to the client. For example, I would charge an attorney or dentist more than I would charge a plumber that’s just started his business. ---

You pay quite a bit of other shit to have an employee as well. It was just a rounded number, close enough bro. The average single household income is not 15k in america, that’s horrible.I believe its more in the 30k range. no harm intended lol, but i get ya.
