Time is Money—Focus on What You Do Best

Running a business is a tough job. You wear multiple hats, you laugh at the idea of working as little as a 40-hour work week, and you constantly have to let your stress push you toward success rather than crumpling like a snowflake. And on top of that, you have to worry about keeping up a steady flow of social media posts? Sheesh…(Okay, now take a breath. Relax.)

You know better than anyone that when you try to manage everything yourself, you’re splitting your focus. This leads to slower growth, more stress, and several missed opportunities. Spending time learning things outside your expertise—like social media—often costs you more in the long run than it would to hire an expert. Let’s face it: if you could afford to hire someone in-house, you probably would. But is that really the best use of your money?

Social Media Agencies

• Monthly pricing varies widely depending on scope:

  • Small packages: $500–$5,000/month

  • Larger, full-service plans: $5,000+/month

• Inclusive of content creation, posting, analytics, strategy, and ad management.

In-House Social Media Manager

• Annual salary: $50,000–$70,000 (about $4,000–$5,800/month)

• Plus overhead costs (benefits, equipment, taxes, etc.)

A professional social media agency allows you to reclaim your time to focus on your clients, internal operations, and company growth. You can stay consistent without the constant pressure of creating content yourself. It lets you trust the process, knowing that your brand voice, trend awareness, and strategy are all in expert hands.

The truth is simple: your time is best spent running your business, not running after algorithms.
