If you’re currently a freelance social media manager, you might be wondering what’s the next step? How can you expand your business when you’re only able to manage so many clients?

An agency model might seem too scary of a leap to make but it made all the difference in my income, my clients, and how I’m able to spend my time, and it can do the same for you too! I’m sharing how running an agency has changed my business and why you should consider growing from freelance to agency as well.

In this episode of the podcast, I talk about:

  • Going from charging $100 a week to 4-figure packages
  • Why I chose to shift from freelancer to agency
  • The benefits of having an agency
  • The false comfort of being flexible with your services
  • Where to find support in making the change from freelancer to agency
