The best-paid community managers have a combination of skills in content creation, social media platforms, customer service, and marketing. They also typically do their job for numerous clients at once. Your community manager career can either be in agency setting, where you do the job for numerous clients at once; in a client-side setting, where you do the job for one company all the time; or you can do it entirely on a freelance basis and take full control of who you work for. Each of these scenarios pays differently, but a general rule is that larger companies and more culturally relevant brands will pay a premium to have their social media platforms properly managed. Collect screenshots of successful posts, reels, or tweets, or any social campaigns or contests you’ve successfully ran. This will act as your portfolio, which can earn you more at other companies and prove your value to whoever you choose to work for.
Negotiating a higher salary as a community manager largely depends on who you work for. If you work in an agency setting where you manage multiple clients at once, find a way to show the range of voices you’re able to use and the success you’ve had with reaching out to your followers. If you work in a client-side position, there should be a wealth of data for you to harness in negotiations, from engagement to reach to followers. If anything you’ve done has gone viral, made the news, or influenced trends, it’s vital that you use this in negotiations as many companies struggle with this. Position yourself as your company’s connection to young people and cultural trends, and find as many ways as possible to show that you’re excelling at it.
