The ultimate question.
Choosing whether to outsource your business’ social media management or to do it yourself is not only a personal choice, but also a choice that is personal to your business. Everyone is different in their preference and every business has different needs.
So if truth be told, there is no right or wrong here. But I’ve laid out some of the pros and cons to each pathway – to help you decide what could be the best pathway for your business.
HIRING A SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER
✅PROS:
Essentially, a good social media manager will know what they are doing. Plain and simple. Social media management and marketing is their jam. They should have the training, experience and skills behind them to deliver on your agreement, create a consistent on-brand presence, and bring your business results – whatever that may look like.
Hiring a social media manager will help you stand out from your competition. So many businesses still don’t utilize social media (more so in certain industries), let alone have a strong, consistent presence on it.
A good social media manager will also know that social media is a constant learning curve, and so they will keep up to date with trends and changes and invest in further training… all so that you don’t have to.
✅CONS:
Maybe it turns out you don’t get along and/or you have differences in vision or work ethic. You need to find a social media manager that not only clicks with you but also clicks with your business. A good social media manager will treat and value your business as if it were their own.
Some business owners just prefer to do it themselves, so they know exactly what’s being posted and when. While there should be trust in the relationship between business owner and the social media manager so that they can get on with their respective jobs, sometimes a business owner would just rather not have to go through a third party to get something posted on their page. Which is fair enough.

DOING IT YOURSELF (DIY Social media)
✅PROS:
The biggest argument I see around is that business owners know their business and brand, including the ‘brand voice’, better than anyone else. What is arguable though, is that the business owner is not necessarily a marketing expert or copywriter that is able to get that voice across in the best way possible.
If you’re unhappy with the content going out, or the results (or lack of results) being generated, it’s on you! No other person to deal with. (This could also be a ‘CON’ if you don’t wish to take responsibility for a poorly maintained Instagram page that’s collecting dust).
If you’re feeling productive / in the mood to do some social media marketing, you can go ahead and do whatever you want, when you want. You have full creative control and don’t need to liaison with anyone or go through a third party to get your Facebook Ad idea up and running.
It’s always good to learn new things! Doing your own socials and picking up new skills and knowledge that comes with that is always a positive.
✅CONS:
You dabble in social media (you had to do it to help get your business’ marketing started), but it’s not something you excel in. You know your business would be better served with an expert or specialist on board.
Maybe you’ve had no experience in the area of social media marketing. It can be overwhelming, you don’t know where to start and/or you don’t know how to level up your game. Which leads me to…
TIME. It takes time to learn the skills, tools, and keep up to date with ever-evolving updates and changes to platforms. It takes time to plan to and execute strategies, create and curate content, research your audience, competitors and ideas. Social media marketing is so much more than just slapping a photo on your business’ page, adding a hashtag, and hoping hundreds of customers come bursting through your door. Of course, anyone can learn anything if they put the time and effort in. But that’s just it: it takes time and effort. Something many business owners just don’t have.
And last but not least, a ‘CON’ to doing your business’ social media yourself, is that you’re already juggling everything else that comes with running a business. Social media is just one more thing to add to the list.
So there are many variables to consider when deciding if hiring a social media manager is the right choice for your business. At the end of the day, the most important thing is that your social media is getting the time and attention it deserves. Hopefully I may also have uncovered and demystified some of the things a social media manager actually does!

"Social Media.
Is it worth it to spend money on a social media manager if it frees up your time and results in excellent social media strategies? The answers are in this article!
Time and money are always in short supply for small business owners. It sometimes puts entrepreneurs in a position to make difficult decisions. Is it worth hiring a social media manager to free up your time, resulting in effective social media strategies? In this article, we have highlighted the main benefits of engaging social media managers.
What Do Social Media Managers Do?
A social media manager implements a strategy that will bring you more followers and engagement and builds brand awareness over time.
If you’re a small business owner and find yourself pushing things off your “to-do” list (like curating social media content), it might be time to think about outsourcing. As much as social media can help your business grow, it can also feel like a HUGE time sucker, especially when you’re the only person running the business.
👉Creates a social media STRATEGY
Do you find yourself sporadically posting on social media? Are you finding the time to create engaging content to post every day? Or posting for the sake of posting but having no value behind your content? A social media manager will ensure a strategy in place and that your content is meaningful and relevant to your audience.
👉Creates Brand Awareness and Authority
A social media manager’s goal is to create brand awareness for you and establish your business as subject matter authority in your industry. By creating consistent and valuable content, your followers will begin to trust you and identify your brand. Furthermore, you will start to have a loyal following who look forward to what you will be posting next. A dedicated audience translates to brand advocates that make for a great referral base, ultimately resulting in more sales.
👉Tracks Marketing Efforts
A social media manager is familiar and knowledgeable about social media analytics and what they mean. They can analyze the results of your posts (what times to post, engagement, post reach Etc.) Without analytics, we wouldn’t know if our marketing strategy is working or not, which leads to a considerable waste of time.
👉Saves Time
As a small business owner, you’re wearing many hats in the business. Between answering emails, networking, preparing products to be shipped, you’re expected to magically squeeze in time to sit and work on social media content. Believe it or not, this problem can be solved. By hiring a social media manager, you will save so much time as they work behind the scenes creating branded content specific to your needs. In addition, they can schedule the content to go out on the days and times you would like.
👉A New Way to Generate New Customers
A social media manager will know how to post through paid and organize efforts. It requires some research to understand what your industry thrives on and what content your customers like to see. It may take a few months for your social media manager to identify what strategy works best.
So, are you ready to dive into the reasons why you should hire someone to manage your social media business accounts?
