Why the Social Media Manager seat counts
Most small business owners know they should post regularly, and most of them keep putting it off. A Social Media Manager takes that job off their hands. They plan the content, write and schedule the posts, reply to comments and report on what worked. A lot of this work comes through recommendation, because owners want someone they can trust with the voice of their business.
In a FindaBiz group there is one seat per trade. If you hold the Social Media Manager seat, the social media referrals the group passes come to you, and no competitor is sitting two chairs away. The FindaBiz Lutterworth seat is already taken, and you can see who holds it below. Further down are the groups where the seat is open.
Social Media Managers already in our network
Each group holds just one social media manager, so these are the businesses who own that seat in their group.

Businesses that pass work to a Social Media Manager
Web designers and website design firms are often first in line. A client launches a new site and straight away asks who will keep its social channels going, and a web designer who can hand over a trusted name looks good for it. Copywriters and SEO consultants get asked much the same thing. A marketing consultant who handles strategy may also want someone reliable to do the daily posting.
Other referrals come from trades that work closely with the owner. An accountant or book keeper sees a client trying to grow and knows where their time goes. Business coaches often tell clients to stop doing their own social media. Event management and training businesses need posts before and after every event. Human resources advisers meet employers who want to show off their workplace when they’re hiring, and a print and promotional goods supplier finds that customers ordering banners and leaflets often want someone to handle the online side too.
How a FindaBiz group helps your social media business
Members pass each other referrals and meet one to one between meetings. For a Social Media Manager, those one to ones matter a great deal. Other members get to see how you plan a month of content, how you report results and which clients suit you, so when a referral comes up they can describe you properly. It works the other way as well. You spend your days inside clients’ businesses and often hear when they need a new website, an accountant or an insurance broker.
Anyone looking for a Social Media Manager they can rely on could do worse than start with a recommendation from a fellow member, because it comes from someone who has met that person and seen their work.
