Angela launched her business 3 x faster thanks to the Social Media Managers Toolkit
âYou canât put a price on the time it savesâ
Angela Pounder is the founder of Clydeside Social. She offers social media management, training, and platform auditing services to small and medium-sized businesses in Scotland.
THE CHALLENGE: Lack of resources held Angela back
When Angela completed an online social media management training course in May 2019, sheâd expected it to contain all the materials she needed to launch her business and enjoy the flexible working life sheâd always dreamed of. Â
âI thought Iâd finish the course and be ready to go and get clients,â says Angela. âBut that wasnât the reality.â
âDuring the course, Iâd made a list of everything I needed – things like an audit template and a strategy template. But alongside working, looking after the kids and trying to start a business, it would have taken me at least three months to create absolutely everything. If Iâd had to do it myself, I donât think I would have ever got off the ground.â
THE SOLUTION: Ready-made templates and business supportÂ
Having joined The Social Media Managers Hub Facebook Group, Angela was delighted to hear about The Social Media Managers Hub Toolkit – a complete package of customisable templates and practical advice to help social media managers propel their business to the next level.Â
For Angela, the decision to buy it was a no-brainer. âThe Toolkit gave me everything I felt I was missing,â she says. âIt meant that the very next day I could say âYes, I can do an audit for you,â knowing that I had a template that made me look like a professional business.â
As well as using the strategy template to wow a major new client, Angela offered free platform audits to local businesses and landed herself some stunning testimonials and vital social proof. Â
She also leaned on the invaluable support of The Social Media Managers Hub Facebook group. âPeople are so generous with their time,â says Angela, âand the Lauras are always super helpful. Thereâs nothing I canât ask.
âWithout the Toolkit and Facebook group, I wouldnât have had the confidence to go for the job with my main client. I just wouldnât have put myself in the conversation.â
Angela now uses the Toolkitâs analytics template to produce weekly reports for her clients. âIâm not very good at spreadsheets but I found this template really helpful,â she says. âIt keeps tracking simple and consistent. It saves me time and has made me more efficient.â
THE RESULTS: 3 months saved!
Angela was able to cut the time it took her to launch her business by three months. She is now able to quickly and easily produce professional-looking client documents and saves hours each week using the Toolkitâs reporting template.
Thanks to the Toolkit, Angela is able to position herself as an expert and run a successful business that fits around her family.
