The risk you carry

Managing accounts means holding the client's logins and producing an endless content stream that's easy to expand. The right paperwork fixes the monthly scope, protects credentials, and makes adding platforms a paid decision.

Mistakes that cost social media managers money

No defined post count, so 'manage my socials' becomes unlimited content for a flat fee.
No exit terms for account access, leaving messy handovers when a client leaves.
Adding platforms for free instead of repricing the retainer.

Frequently asked

How do I keep a retainer from ballooning?

Put the numbers in writing. The Monthly Retainer Agreement fixes posts per platform, the approval process, and reporting, so the scope is a defined deliverable rather than 'whatever they ask for'.

What about access to the client's accounts?

Your agreement should cover it. The Client Services Agreement defines how credentials are handled during the engagement and returned at the end, which avoids the messy break-ups social managers know well.
