New social media coordinator - what should my prices be?
Hi all, I recently graduated with a bachelor's in psychology with a minor in communication. I'm an entry-level social media coordinator trying to figure out what a fair starting rate looks like. I know pricing can vary a ton depending on location and experience. I'd love to hear what others charge when they were starting out.
If you don't mind sharing, what were your beginner rates, hourly, monthly packages, etc?
Someone recently asked me, "Do you have a rate you could share, any details on hourly, packages, or per-platform pricing?" I want to give them a solid answer, but I'm still trying to understand the standard range. What would you say is reasonable for someone starting out but reliable, competent, and capable of handling content creation, engagement, and basic analytics?
For reference I live in central florida.
