What comes up for social media managers

Monthly packages

Every client has a package: so many posts, so many stories, one report. The invoice repeats month after month.

Extra work by effort

A shoot, a livestream, a crisis post: whatever goes beyond the package you bill by the hour.

The client’s ad budget

Ad budgets run through your account or the client’s. If you advance them, they belong as a separate line in the invoice.
