Social Media Manager is one of the titles we hear most. These are the part-time roles where your experience carries over, what they pay per hour, and the tasks open now. About five hours a week, next to your main job.
By Lukas Brenner, Director, Marketing & Content · Edited by Helena Voss · Published
Social media managers are hired part time to plan and schedule, not to stay online all day: a monthly content calendar, a batch of posts, community replies at agreed times, and a short report on what worked. Scheduling tools make this one of the most flexible roles on the site.
Be clear about response times; companies need to know who answers a comment in the evening. Name the platforms you know well rather than listing all of them, and show one account you grew with the numbers. Keep your personal accounts separate and never post for a company from a profile linked to your employer.

The same rules apply to every task, so they live on two pages: Pricing explains the 15% fee, prepayment and when you are paid; How it works covers matching, what a company sees and side work next to a job.
