Is my payment protected when I hire a freelancer?

Yes. All payments on StayGowe21 use escrow protection. Your money is held by the platform until you approve the completed work. If there's a dispute, our resolution team will mediate. This protects both clients (no payment without delivery) and freelancers (no delivery without secured payment).

Most clients receive qualified proposals within 24-48 hours of posting their project. Reviewing proposals and selecting a freelancer typically takes another 1-2 days. You can usually go from posting to actively working with a hired freelancer in 3-5 days.

How much does it cost to hire a freelance social media manager?

Social media managers on StayGowe21 typically charge $400-3,000+ per month, depending on the number of platforms and post frequency. A single-platform manager (e.g., Instagram only) starts around $400-800/month for 12-20 posts. A multi-platform manager (Instagram + TikTok + LinkedIn) typically runs $1,000-2,500/month. Strategy-only consultants charge $75-200/hour.

What does a social media manager actually do?

A freelance social media manager handles content strategy, content creation (graphics, captions, short-form video), posting on a regular schedule, community management (replies, DMs), hashtag research, paid ad coordination, monthly analytics reports, and growth experiments. Some also coordinate with influencers or run user-generated content campaigns.

Should I hire one social media manager for all platforms or one per platform?

For small businesses on a budget, one manager handling 2-3 platforms is most cost-effective and ensures a consistent voice. For larger brands or platforms with very different content styles (e.g., LinkedIn vs. TikTok), you may want platform specialists. StayGowe21 has both — filter by the platforms you need.

How do I measure if my social media manager is doing a good job?

Track these monthly: follower growth rate, average engagement rate per post, total reach/impressions, click-throughs to your website, and conversions (sign-ups, sales) from social. A good manager will provide these in a monthly report and discuss what worked, what didn't, and what to test next month.

Will my social media manager create the content too?

Most do, yes. They'll write captions, design simple graphics in Canva or similar tools, and edit short-form videos (Reels, TikToks, Shorts). For more polished content like custom illustrations or professional video production, you may need to hire a designer or video editor separately — many StayGowe21 managers will coordinate with one for you.

Can I hire someone short-term to run a single campaign?

Yes. Many social media managers on StayGowe21 take on campaign-only projects — product launches, event promotion, contest management, or seasonal pushes. These typically run 2-6 weeks and are priced as fixed-fee packages rather than monthly retainers.
