🚨 SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGERS, LET’S TALK! Not all social media managers are the same. There are those who build a solid career and those who ruin their reputation before they even start. I’ve seen both. Let’s talk about them. 📌 THE SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER WHO UNDERSTANDS LONG-TERM SUCCESS This is the one who: ✅ Values integrity over quick money. ✅ Knows that reputation is the currency of the digital world. ✅ Understands that loyalty to an agency or employer opens bigger doors. ✅ Knows that shortcuts today can shut off future opportunities. I had a staff who was offered money behind my back and without the knowledge of my agency and work directly with a client. Guess what? She said NO. Why? Because she values relationships and long-term growth over temporary gain. Today, she has secured bigger projects because of her integrity. The best opportunities come to those who are trustworthy. 📌 THE SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER WHO DESTROYS THEIR CAREER FOR SMALL MONEY Then, there’s the one who: ❌ Thinks they are being “smart” by cutting corners. ❌ Takes side gigs from the agency clients behind the agency that trained them. ❌ Forgets that trust and credibility are EVERYTHING in this game. I had another staff who worked with a client for three months. The client started complaining: ❌ “Your staff is not competent.” ❌ “He’s more like an intern than a social media manager.” ❌ “I don’t see the impact of your service.” But guess what? After terminating our contract, they went behind my back and secretly hired this same staff. 🚨 So you were “not competent,” but suddenly, you’re good enough to hire behind the agency’s back? Two months later, I caught him. And when I confronted him, he confessed. Now, let’s be real… who will ever trust him again? No serious business will work with a staff who betrays their employer for small money. As a social media manager you must understand that.... Your reputation is your real currency. One bad move and you’ll never get big opportunities. Mind you agencies and business owners talk. If you betray one today, they all will hear it tomorrow The same shortcut you take today will block your blessings tomorrow. Loyalty and trust are what take you from managing Instagram pages to handling 7-figure brand deals. If you’re a social media manager who wants to GROW, here’s what to do: ✅ Choose integrity over quick cash. ✅ Be loyal to your agency (if you are working with one), and they will open bigger doors for you. ✅ Protect your professional reputation like your life depends on it. ✅ If a client is trying to cut corners, REPORT it to your agency. But ..... If you keep backstabbing your agency for a few naira, here’s what will happen: 🚨 No serious business will trust you with big projects. 🚨 One wrong move, and your career is over before it even starts. 🚨 You will be known as “that person who can’t be trusted.” 🚨 Your short-term gain will lead to long-term regret. MY BIG QUESTION IS WHICH ONE ARE YOU? Are you the trusted expert building a lasting career, or the one ruining opportunities for small change?
