Where to Find Social Media Consultant?
I’m looking for a social media consultant for my partner. They are an artist and would like to get their social media dialed in a bit. Something like, a review of presence, ideas/help. Where is the best place to go to find someone who is capable? What am I looking for in a consultant? Thanks!

Think a different approach might be better for this situation. Don’t look for a dedicated social media consultant. Find others in the space who are successful on the platforms she wants to grow on and reach out to them directly to see if they have advice or methods to offer.

I might be able to help. I work professionally as a growth manager for a marketing agency, but I also helped build a following for my brother’s music. He’s sitting at 200k+ followers across fb and instagram, is getting brand deals, even got a record deal. PM me and let’s discuss!

You are about to be inundated with people saying they can help

Honestly, there’s tons of places to find someone for them. The best pieces of advice I can give you is find someone who understands (or wants to understand) the artist’s community, tactics of social and how to best optimize their systems (ie how to get their community members to where they need to go to buy some of their art, info for shows, “deeper” experiences like email marketing, etc). Most artists don’t need help with “the content” even though they will likely run into a lot of people talking about ONLY that (although maybe they do need help with content -shrug- dunno).
One of the best things I did (do) for my bestie (she’s an artist as well) is push her to look at other ways to monetize (she’s done plushies and jewelry now sold out all of her limited additions). Ensuring that the artist doesn’t feel “trapped” in their art and forcing them into a typical marketing practices/bubbles.
Find someone who wants to support the artist and the art. Someone who can speak the same “language” as the artist.

YouTube has all the free education you could want. But the best thing I’ve seen is when artists go Live on TikTok. They just create while others watch. Answer questions etc. they get flooded with “gifts” which earn cash. They can also offer custom orders for various clients etc.

I should probably have mentioned that I would like to gift the time for their birthday. While a lot of these responses are excellent they require me to be significantly more knowledgable than I am.
