(The) Social Media
MANAGER INSIDER
For the one who knows social media could be their way out, but hasn’t landed a client yet
A clear, realistic path to becoming a social media manager and landing your first client without guessing your way out of your 9-5
The SMM Insider teaches you how to build the right foundation, position yourself with confidence, and take the exact steps that lead to your first paying client.
You don’t want to “learn more.”
You want this to actually work.
You want to leave your 9-5. Not someday. Not in a vague, wishful way, but because you’re tired of building someone else’s dream and you want something of your own.
Social media feels like a real opportunity. You’ve seen other people do it. You’ve tried to follow the advice. You’ve implemented what you could.
But nothing has clicked yet.
You’re not lazy. You’re not behind.
You’re stuck because random free advice doesn’t give you a path, it gives you noise.
What you need isn’t another tip.
You need to understand how people actually become social media managers, step by step, and how that turns into your first client.
That’s what this course is built for.

HI, I'M SARA!
I’ll keep this short, because I know you’re not here for a long backstory.
You’re here because you want to become a social media manager, and you want a clear, realistic place to start.
I’ve been exactly where you are.
I was working a 9-5, wanting more autonomy, more flexibility, and more ownership over my time. I didn’t wake up with a perfect plan, I took a calculated risk and started freelancing as a social media manager.
Within 6 months, I scaled my freelance work into a 6-figure agency. The demand grew quickly, and I built a team early so I could keep up (I've had a team ever since!)
But here’s what matters most to me:
My FAVORITE part of this work has never just been managing social accounts or building income. It’s teaching. Breaking things down. Helping people understand how this industry actually works and how to move through it with confidence instead of confusion.
I spend my time analyzing platforms, adapting strategies, staying ahead of trends, and applying them to real businesses, and teaching others how to think the same way.
That’s why SMM Insider exists.
This course is the starting point I wish I had when I was trying to figure out how to turn interest into a real career. It’s designed to help you build the foundation, understand the path, and take your first real steps toward becoming a social media manager.
I know you're ready to start, not perfectly, but intentionally. & you're in just the right place to do so!
