# Start a social media agency

URL: https://gocutline.com/playbooks/start-a-social-media-agency/

Start a social media agency: Local businesses know they should post more but never do, so they will pay someone who just does it. 1) Choose one industry you understand, and stick with it. 2) Build your own account for that industry for four weeks, so you have something to show. 3) Offer one package: a number of posts and videos a month at a fixed price.

## The steps
1. Choose one industry you understand, and stick with it.
2. Build your own account for that industry for four weeks, so you have something to show.
3. Offer one package: a number of posts and videos a month at a fixed price.
4. Write down the process, so you could hand it to someone else later.
5. Contact 10 businesses a day with one specific idea for their account.
6. Report the same few numbers each month, and never promise results you cannot control.
