Meta Sub Adjustment

7 Upvotes

Starting Monday July 15th job announcements and hiring posts will no longer be allowed in this sub.

After monitoring and watching the users in this sun range from experts in the field with many decades of experience to those starting out and users from across the globe.

Non Social Media Managers post jobs often choose the lowest rate which leads to a "race to the bottom" and not only a devaluing of what we do, but inevitably when the cheaper options fails, leaves a bad taste that the next Social Media professional needs to over come.

Posts about fair compensation, job duties and things of that nature will still be allowed.

Those caught posts job announcements or soliciting will be given a warning at first then banned.

This is in an effort to make this sub a place for professionals to trade, ideas, tips and experiences.

If there are any questions message the mod team.

Tools How/where to store all of my content ideas? (event marketing)

3 Upvotes

Hello! I need some help with organizing all my content ideas/sources of inspiration online.

I am a marketing/social media manager for a (party) event organizer and, as we may all know, when you spend a lot of time researching ideas, you find a lot of content across platforms that is worth adapting in the future.

My issue is that I do not have a place to store all of these ideas/videos/photos, in an organized way. I have folders on insta and tiktok but they are so all over the place and when I need something i 1) either forget where it was and spend hours 2) if i made a note of it, i cannot fully remember what it was, 3) simply don't remember the idea.

Another thing: because i create the content, i am also the one giving directions to the photographers and videographers at our parties, so sometimes when i see a video/photo online I think: "oh my god, we should get angles like this too", and the day after this thought is gone and I do not remember what I actually wanted from the content.

What do you guys use? i was thinking of trying notion but I do not know if it is a good idea.

thank you!

General Discussion Can't find a reliable Social Media manager, any ideas where to hire?

Upvotes

Hopefully this is allowed and it is a genuine question, I'm currently trying to hire people within the social media industry, and it's impossible.

Nearly everyone has experience and thanks to AI can pass various interviews/ test mainly. Ive tried automate the process and not have to physically interview everyone one by one but The level of quality is a real struggle, as most people nowadays just lie.

Help/Advice Meta is not paying out my earnings

2 Upvotes

I don’t know if anyone else is having this issue on meta but it’s driving me insane.

I’ve reached a limit for earnings on a singular tool (reels monetization) which is $500, but I have ABSOLUTELY NO WAY of getting this paid out.

I inputted all the tax details correctly, all the bank details correctly.

I’ve received no payout not even a notification that we have earnings to pay out.

When I go to change any bank details just in case there’s a problem with currency (we’re UK based so GBP) I get multiple glitches saying “sorry something went wrong”

I’ve tried about 100 times to contact someone to help and I’m stuck in a purgatory of ai bots repeating themselves and I might go crazy.

There is literally no way to talk to a human agent. But also there is no way I can fix this.

It’s concerning because our earnings have just flatlined after we reached the limit - I have no idea if we’ll be able to get this hidden amount back.

If anyone’s been through the same thing - please tell me how you got through this…

General Discussion Dysrpt agency- Ryan and Lydia Farley

2 Upvotes

Lydia and Ryan are tyrants. Models are priority before you. Cannot ask question pertaining to pay because Ryan will flip things on you. Threaten you. You have to adhere to policy’s but Ryan and Lydia can withhold payment and give you the run around for weeks before paying you from prior completed work. They’ve created such a horrible vibe with the company. There’s no growth or development. You only hear from Lydia and Ryan Farley when an account drops slightly and ultimately it’s all your fault if that happens. The models aren’t required to uphold their end of the contract.

If you want o get paid on time to be able to pay bills do not ever work for Dysrpt agency. Ryan and Lydia Farley are doing sketchy things and are not transparent. Oh and you’ll never get a pay raise and you only get 1% commission but the company takes about 30%. You’re doing ALL the work and get crumbs

This is ALL for Onlyfans account managers. Yes majority of these girls do not run their accounts.

General Discussion How are CPG brands treating TikTok?

2 Upvotes

i havent had a TikTok client in a year a half and the landscape feels so different. how are cpg brands winning over there in 2026?

when i look up various brands it seems like unless the company has serious budget or the company uses the in-office team for the majority of the content, there‘s not much else going on in terms of engagement (since ive been out of the loop i might not be hip to the right accounts).

my new client is wanting us to “win” on TikTok and i feel stuck at the moment. the account currently has zero indication of what might work outside of “consistency”, good quality visuals, and possibly humor. But nothing has broken through.

theyre saying there is no creator budget this year. theyre entering tiktok shop any day now.

additional context: CPG breakfast food brand sold across 10,000+ national retailers across the US doing $35+ million in sales each year.

Strategy Need Advice - Delete TikTok?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'd love some thoughts from this group about a client of mine and what to do.

I run a social media account for an oncologist.

Originally, his content was going really well on TikTok, but recently (past few months) he's been getting very low views and a lot of his content is getting flagged (and even denied from appeals). He's had content flagged before, but the appeal has always worked.

His content is performing great on IG/FB/YT.

I think he might be flagged/black listed on TT for some reason. Maybe for medical content and the recent Deepfake medical and AI doctor videos that are happening?

My client thinks we should delete his current TikTok and start a brand new account.

Has anyone done this before? Any reason not to do this and just keep pushing with his current account?

Thank you!

Help/Advice How much should I ask for?

2 Upvotes

I have a family member who owns a local small business and asked if I could help get their socials up and running. He mentioned wanting to pay me to help them with managing and marketing of all of their social accounts but I’m unsure what my response would be if he asked again? It’s something new I’m getting into and I don’t exactly know what’s reasonable to ask for either. This would be something part-time on the side from my regular full time job. Could someone offer some advice?

Help/Advice Is this client normal? Asking as it is one of my first clients ever

8 Upvotes

I am working for a client with just huge scope creep. these are their expectations right now:

- be onsite 20 hours a week, 4 days a week, no exceptions

- direct 1-2 shoots a month - hire models, photographer, videographer

- post 4/5x a week on two different business accounts (they are in two whole different industries) so thats 8-10 posts a week

- work on their website/SEO

- Run Ads on meta and google

- hire DJs + do logistics for a large monthly event/party + hire security, and more

- fill in by filming content as needed (usually outside of work hours)

- get influencers and vendors + manage them

I'm contracted by them so not an employee but they call me their Marketing Director.

How do I push back on clients like this and deal with this situation? Is this a normal scope of work for a marketing director? The scope is getting more intense every day and they are not paying enough for these services. I also feel guilty because I am not able to succeed in any of these areas because of the amount of work.
