    Hi
    Just wondering if anyone does this and how much it costs?
    Probably a very general question as I am sure there are varying factors, but just wondering roughly how much one could expect to pay for someone to look after their facebook/linkedin/twitter pages for a small business?

    Thank you

    Currently I am covering a few different business accounts on Facebook for 35 P/W This includes posting 1-2 times a week, Any more and your market looses interest or gets fed up,
    responding to mail, deleting any unwanted comments from keyboard heroes and informing the customer what questions are coming in, as there's no way I can answer questions of the business without querying back to the you as I would be liable for incorrect info and plenty more.

    I am in the position where I can take on more if your interested. Can work with different platforms but my current customers preferred to use just Facebook.

    You delete comments and posting 1/2 times a week? Well you get what you pay for I suppose!

    People get annoyed if your stuff is constantly in their face.
    It's better to have a few good posts per week than loads of dross. Remember shares and likes are important.

    Facebook let's you schedule posts, so you can set up a weeks content in a few minutes.

    No, you misunderstood and jumped far too quick there.

    The platform is watched constantly and comments are usually responded to instantly or within the hour, messages too.

    I would put 2 status up per week as that's what I suggest, If customer wants more I'll put up more but as said above, too much posting will annoy your target market.
    For a small business 2 posts is more than enough baked up with good boosting.

    May be worthwhile, a group of 4 and I (4th year marketing students) were assigned to look after the digital elements of an SME. It was free for the business and a project/experience for us. It was with DIT. Its was for around a 5 month period and its done for every year. Could be of use to you as it would include regular weekly contact.
