A COMPREHENSIVE 10-CHAPTER COURSE DESIGNED FOR THE ASPIRING SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER

Hi, I’m sara!

FOUNDER OF VOLUME ONE STUDIOS // SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER // INSTAGRAM CREATOR CLASS ‘23-’24

I won’t bore you with the length tale (I get it, time is of the essence). You’re here because you’re ready to kickstart your career in social media management, and guess what? You’re in the right spot.

Why am I the one to guide you through this journey? Simple ─ it’s my PASSION. This journey isn’t just a job to me, it’s a pursuit. I've been right where you are, navigating the corporate life, dreaming for a life that's not dictated by others. So, I took the risk and pursued freelancing as a social media manager.

Scaling my career happened faster than I could have imagined, leading to the birth of Volume One Studios, my social media marketing agency. Within the first 8 months, I was able to scale to a 6-figure agency, but the demand kept growing and growing. I even brought on board two incredibly talented contractors.

Now, my days are full of amazing, talented and creative clients. 

But here's the thing—my absolute favorite part of this journey isn't just about managing socials and securing a solid income (although those perks are pretty sweet). It's about teaching.

I spend a significant chunk of my time coaching and educating my clients on the social media algorithms, revamping strategies based on analytics and goals, staying ahead of the latest trends, and applying them to their unique businesses. This, hands down, has been the most fulfilling aspect of it all.

And now, the excitement doubles because I get to teach YOU how to become a social media manager and I couldn’t be more excited to be part of the starting point of your journey.

So if you’re ready to learn the ins and outs of becoming a social media manager, The SMM Insider is where you want to be.
