Hiring a social media manager can be one of the best decisions you make for your business. But hire the wrong person, and you'll be cleaning up the mess for months.

Here are some red flags to watch out for before signing that contract:
They can't show you results, only pretty content A good portfolio isn't just aesthetically pleasing posts. Ask what those posts actually did — did they grow followers, drive traffic, generate leads? If they go quiet on that question, that tells you something.

They promise you overnight growth Anyone who guarantees "10k followers in 30 days" is either buying followers or lying. Real growth takes strategy and time. Be cautious of big promises with no clear plan behind them.

They don't ask questions about your business Before pitching anything, a solid social media manager should want to understand your audience, your goals, and your competitors. If they skip that step, they're probably going to create generic content that doesn't speak to your customers.

They manage too many clients with no support One person handling 20+ clients alone is a recipe for burnout and mediocre work. Ask about their current workload and whether they have a team or systems in place.

They get defensive about feedback Social media is a collaboration. If they can't take constructive input during the interview process, imagine what working with them daily will be like.

They have no strategy beyond "posting consistently" Consistency matters, but it's not a strategy. Ask them how they plan to grow your account and what metrics they'll track. Vague answers are a red flag.

The right person will ask smart questions, back their work with data, and be upfront about what's realistic.

What actually moves the needle for a coach's social media — an honest breakdown

After managing social media for personal brands for a while now, here's what I've noticed actually works for coaches trying to get clients online.

It's not the thing most people focus on.

It's not follower count. It's not how often you post. It's not even the quality of your visuals.

It's how well your content speaks to the specific person you want to work with.
The coaches I've seen go from inconsistent inquiries to a full calendar all had one thing in common — they stopped writing content for everyone and started writing content for one specific type of person.

When you know exactly who you're talking to, everything gets easier. Your captions get sharper. Your calls-to-action get clearer. And the people who see your content feel like you're speaking directly to them — because you are.

If your social media isn't bringing you consistent leads right now, the first question to ask yourself isn't "am I posting enough?" It's "am I speaking clearly to the right person?"

What does your ideal coaching client struggle with the most? Let's talk in the comments.

I came across a coach's profile some weeks ago and asked if I could do a quick free audit. They said yes. Here's what I found.

Their headline said: "Life Coach | Helping People Reach Their Potential | Speaker"

It sounds fine. But it's vague. "Helping people reach their potential" could mean anything to anyone — which means it speaks to no one in particular.

Here's what we changed it to: "I help burnt-out corporate women rebuild their confidence and land roles they actually love | Career & Life Coach"

Same person. Same expertise. Completely different level of specificity.
Within a few days of updating, they started getting inquiries from people in their target audience — people who came across the profile and thought "that's exactly me."

Your headline isn't a job title. It's a first impression. It should answer: who do you help and what do they get from working with you?

If you want me to take a look at yours, drop your profile link in the comments and I'll give you honest feedback.

Can we talk about something a lot of coaches waste time on?

Aesthetic feeds.

I've seen coaches spend hours picking the right color palette, making sure every post matches, obsessing over the visual vibe of their grid — while their actual content isn't saying anything that would make someone want to hire them.

Here's the truth: people don't hire coaches because their feed looks nice. They hire coaches because their content made them feel understood.

The posts that convert clients are the ones where someone reads your caption and thinks "this person gets exactly what I'm going through."

That comes from knowing your audience deeply, not from having a pretty grid.

So if you've been putting off posting because you want it to look perfect first — post the imperfect thing. The right message will always beat the right aesthetic.

Day in my life managing social media for US clients — from Nigeria

A lot of people are surprised when I tell them I manage social media for clients in the US while being based in Nigeria.

So here's a peek into what that actually looks like on a regular day.

I start my mornings reviewing content performance — checking what's working, what flopped, and why. Then I spend time writing captions and scheduling posts for the week ahead.

Afternoons are usually for strategy — researching trends in my clients' niches, planning content pillars, and occasionally hopping on calls with clients across different time zones.

The honest truth? Geography stopped being a barrier the moment I got clear on the results I could deliver. People care about two things — does this person understand my audience and can they get me results? The answer to both is yes, and that's what matters.

Posting every day won't grow your coaching business if your message isn't clear.

Coaches are told "just be consistent" like it's the answer to everything.
But consistency with unclear messaging just means you're confusing people more often.

Before you worry about how often to post, get clear on:
— Who specifically you help
— What problem you solve
— Why you and not someone else

Clarity first. Consistency second. In that order.

3 things your bio must say if you want to attract coaching clients

Your bio has about 3 seconds to do its job.

If someone lands on your page and your bio doesn't immediately tell them who you help, what you help them do, and why they should care — they're gone.

Here are 3 things your bio needs to say:
1. Who you help — be specific. Not "I help people" but "I help female entrepreneurs"
2. What result you get them — not your process, the outcome. "Go from burned out to booked out"
3. A clear next step — where should they go? Your link. Tell them what they'll find there.

Most coaches have bios that talk about themselves — their certifications, their journey, their mission. That's not what converts. What converts is making the person reading feel like you're talking directly to them.

Take 10 minutes today and rewrite your bio using this format. Then DM me what you came up with — I'll give you honest feedback.

Here's something nobody tells coaches when they start posting online.
Your offer can be genuinely life-changing.
Your results can be real.
Your coaching can be world-class.

And you can still have an empty calendar!

Not because you're doing anything wrong. But because having a great offer and knowing how to communicate that offer on social media are two completely different skills.

Most coaches I come across are experts at what they do. But their social media tells a completely different story — unclear messaging, inconsistent posting, captions that talk about their offer without actually speaking to the person they want to reach.

And the frustrating part is that it's not about working harder. It's about working with a clearer strategy.

If you're a coach who knows your work is valuable but your page isn't reflecting that — this account is for you. I post practical social media tips specifically for personal brands and coaches.

Follow along. You'll leave with a clearer idea of what to fix first.

Why coaches with great offers still struggle to get clients online

I woke up to the most amazing client feedback! Did I mention that besides being a social media manager, I’m also a VA?

Basically, I’m a jack of all trades and yes, master of plenty. 😊

One of the things I’m most proud of is being the kind of support person who doesn’t just “do tasks” but helps move the business forward.

This client feedback means so much to me because it captures exactly how I work:

I communicate clearly.
I move fast.
I pay attention to details.
I take initiative.
I learn tools quickly.
I care about the bigger picture, not just the checklist.

From email list setup to Zoom calls, scheduling, automations, Calendly, contracts, uploads, and tech support, I helped take a lot off her plate so she could focus on what she does best.

And honestly, that is the kind of work I love most.
Helping business owners breathe easier, stay organized, and actually grow without feeling buried in backend tasks.

So yes, I’m a social media manager.
And yes, I’m also an amazing VA.

If you need someone who can think, execute, communicate, and hold things together behind the scenes, I’m your person 😉

Ever wondered what career you’d be great at if you weren’t doing what you do now? Let’s use real data to find out!

I tried a fun prompt and let ChatGPT use real info about me (my work, strengths, and style) to suggest another career path.

It said I’d make a great Brand Strategist 😄…do you agree?

It also explained why and created a caricature of me in that role using my photo.

Want to try it too? Use this prompt:
“Based on everything you know about me, what career would I succeed in if I were not a [INSERT YOUR OCCUPATION HERE]? Create a caricature of me in my new career using the attached image as reference and explain your answer”

If you try it, don’t forget to tag me in your post. I want to see what AI picks for you 😄
