Common Startup Problems

Becoming self-employed should be filled with excitement, and not a mad scramble for contract and invoice templates, or worrying about tax or how to look professional.

Content approval chaos

Who signs off what, and by when? Without a contract covering the approval process, social media managers end up chasing clients for feedback while posting deadlines slip. Then you get blamed for missed schedules.

Retainer invoicing is a mess

Monthly retainers sound simple, but they're not. Social media managers juggle base packages, ad hoc campaigns, and overage charges — often with no system to break it all down. Invoices are late, inconsistent, or just guesses.

Tax on irregular income

Some months you have three retainer clients, other months one drops off and a campaign lands. Social media managers deal with fluctuating income, which makes estimating tax feel impossible without a running total.
