Is it worth hiring someone to manage your social media?

The three ways to get it done, what each costs you in time, and how to choose.

The short answer

It is worth it when posting keeps slipping and your page has gone quiet. It is not worth it if you enjoy posting and do it every week already.

The three ways to get it done

	Do it yourself	Freelancer or agency	Done-for-you service
Your time each week	Several hours	About an hour of briefing and review	A few minutes
Cost	Your time	Highest	In between
Who writes and designs	You	A person you brief	The service, from your website
Best for	Owners who enjoy it	Custom campaigns, photo shoots, ads	Steady weekly posting

When doing it yourself is the right choice

You like doing it and you post every week.
Your business is its photos, and you are the one taking them.
You are just starting and have more time than money.

When a freelancer or agency is the right choice

You need photo or video shoots.
You run paid advertising and need it managed.
You want someone to reply to comments and messages for you.

When a done-for-you service is the right choice

You know you should post and you do not.
You want your page active every week without thinking about it.
Your website already says what your business does.

Rumbaho is a done-for-you service. We make branded posts and reels from your website and publish them on your pages. We do not run adverts, do photo shoots or reply to comments.

Questions to ask before you hire anyone

Who owns the content after I stop? It should be you.
Do you need my passwords? The answer should be no. Access is given through Meta Business Suite.
Can I see content before it is published?
Can I stop at any time?
Where do the words come from? They should come from your business, not from a template.

The cost of doing nothing

A quiet page costs nothing to run. It also tells every visitor that nobody is looking after it. For a business that depends on local customers, that is the cost to weigh.
