Start a Social Media Agency: Landing Your First 10 Clients

What's inside this course?

If you want to turn social media management from a side gig into a sustainable agency business, this course is for you. The goal is not to build a huge agency. It is to set up a profitable, manageable operation, run solo or with a team of two or three, and to give you a clear roadmap to your first 10 clients.

The course focuses entirely on organic social media management: content planning, production, publishing, community management and reporting. There are no shortcuts or promised numbers here. Instead, every step comes with methods, tables and templates you can adapt to your own business.

What you will learn

• Which business model fits you, and why focusing on one industry (a niche) makes selling easier
• How to design starter, standard and premium service packages
• How to calculate a package price from your hourly cost, target profit and workload, step by step
• How to find your first clients through a portfolio, your own network, local business visits and cold outreach (with ready-to-use message templates)
• How to present a proposal, and the contract clauses you should never skip: scope, revisions, payment and termination
• How to run client onboarding, a content production workflow and an approval process
• A reporting routine that helps you keep clients
• The general picture of business setup, invoicing and taxes, how to grow with a team, and a 90-day agency launch plan

This is an advanced course: it assumes you already know the basics of social media and focuses on the business side. Example calculations are there to show the method; no income or client numbers are guaranteed.
