The Magic That Is Social Media — and WTF It’s Not
Let’s be honest — asking for my “social media packages” is like asking me for a vibrator.
Do you want the wild ride with all the bells and whistles — full-on strategy, analytics, and content that actually converts? Or do you want the quick-fix lipstick bullet that gets you through the week and stops your page from looking like it’s been abandoned since 2022?
Both have their place. But they’re not the same thing. And pretending they are? That’s where the chaos begins.
🚫 WTF It’s Not
- “Just post something cute.”
- Copy-pasting Canva quotes and praying for engagement.
- Throwing hashtags at the wall to see what sticks.
It’s not a magic wand. It’s a system — a discipline. If you want quick results, that’s what the vibrator is for. If you want long-term brand authority, you need consistency, direction, and data.
💡 WTF It Is (The 90-Day Reality Check)
Think of your social strategy like a 90-day transformation plan — because that’s literally how I build mine.
Month 1: Foundation + Focus
This is where we get honest. We define your voice, your audience, your offer, and your platforms. No “posting just to post.” We set up a rhythm that feels like you — not a bad impersonation of someone else’s grid.
Month 2: Growth + Experimentation
Now we get visible. We test formats, track what’s actually working, and stop doing what’s not. This is where your engagement starts feeling alive — not forced. You’ll see patterns, tone, and brand confidence take shape.
Month 3: Conversion + Community
You’ve earned attention — now we turn it into loyalty. Think collaborations, user-generated content, live selling, and email funnels. By month three, you stop feeling like you’re chasing trends and start realizing you are the trend.
🧠 Before You Ask for a Quote
Here’s what actually helps an agency give you a quote that means something:
- Your Goals — Growth, sales, consistency, or brand polish?
- Your Platforms — Where are you active and where do you want to be?
- Your Content Bank — Do you have assets or are we creating from scratch?
- Your Brand Voice — What should it sound like — and just as important, what shouldn’t it?
- Your Capacity — Do you want a hands-off setup or collaboration?
- Your Budget Range — Direction matters. Nobody’s trying to rob you; we just need the playing field.
If someone sends you a “package list” before asking these questions… you’re not buying a strategy, you’re buying guesswork.
🚩 And if They Don’t Ask You These Questions?
RUN. 🏃♀️
Any agency worth your money should be tailoring your roadmap, not handing you a copy-paste template wrapped in buzzwords. Social media isn’t a blanket solution. It’s engineering. It’s story architecture. And it should feel like your brand — not a brand that kinda-sorta looks like yours if you squint.
💄 Final Thought
Whether you want a lipstick-level fix or the full-body experience, the secret is clarity. Know what you want, understand what you’re building, and make sure the person helping you has the map — not just the megaphone.
That’s the real magic. And honestly, it’s sexier than any quick fix. 💋
