Speaker: 00:00:00

You are listening to JFDI with the

two Lauras, the podcast for social

2

: 00:00:04

media freelancers who want to get more

visible, streamline their systems, master

3

: 00:00:09

their mindset, and make more sales.

4

: 00:00:12

I'm Laura Davis and alongside my

co-host at Laura Moore, we are

5

: 00:00:16

on a mission to make working as a

freelancer easier because working from

6

: 00:00:21

home shouldn't mean working alone.

7

: 00:00:24

We believe relying solely on

long-term clients is a big mistake.

8

: 00:00:29

It means your bank balance is

capped and puts your income

9

: 00:00:32

at risk when a client cancels.

10

: 00:00:35

We are on a mission to help you avoid the

retainer trap, and we want you to build

11

: 00:00:40

a more flexible business, which means you

can make more money without working with

12

: 00:00:45

more retainer clients if you are worried

about being stuck in the retainer trap.

13

: 00:00:50

But the membership is

the place to be inside.

14

: 00:00:54

We give you the systems training,

support, and accountability

15

: 00:00:58

to build out new offers.

16

: 00:01:00

That don't mean taking on more

long-term clients and commitments.

17

: 00:01:04

You get monthly training from

world class experts in their field.

18

: 00:01:08

You get coaching and support from both

us and our incredible community of

19

: 00:01:13

hundreds of other social media freelancers

and to make your life even easier.

20

: 00:01:18

You also get access to Hub Z, the only

software you need to run your business.

21

: 00:01:23

So whether you need to send an invoice,

schedule your content, manage your

22

: 00:01:27

email marketing, or set up a website

or sales page, we've got you covered.

23

: 00:01:31

Annual membership costs less than three

pounds a day, and all the details are

24

: 00:01:36

in the description now on with the show.

25

: 00:01:50

On the show today, I want to bring you

some early insights into our State of

26

: 00:01:55

Freelance Social Media Management survey.

27

: 00:01:57

If you haven't already heard

about this where have you been?

28

: 00:01:59

We've been running a survey.

29

: 00:02:00

It's the biggest survey of its kind in the

freelance social media management world.

30

: 00:02:05

Because basically we wanted to get lots

of data and insights from other social

31

: 00:02:09

media managers to hear, what you're doing,

how much you're charging you know, the

32

: 00:02:13

challenges you're facing, and essentially

so you can stop feeling so alone.

33

: 00:02:17

You can understand what people are doing

well, what people are not doing well, and

34

: 00:02:21

use all of this data for your benefit.

35

: 00:02:23

Of course, we need the

information from you so that we

36

: 00:02:25

can collect all of this stuff.

37

: 00:02:27

. So if you haven't already filled in the

survey, we would be so grateful if you

38

: 00:02:30

would take a couple of minutes to do it.

39

: 00:02:31

We'll make sure that the link

for that is in the show notes.

40

: 00:02:33

You'll also see it on our socials.

41

: 00:02:35

Takes a few minutes to do it, but

we have got a shameless bribe.

42

: 00:02:39

You'll also get a free tool from us which

will give you some real good insights

43

: 00:02:43

into your ideal clients, where you can

find them, where they're hanging out,

44

: 00:02:46

the kind of language you can use to speak

to them, the problems they're facing.

45

: 00:02:50

Like, it just gives you so much

knowledge to be able to go and find

46

: 00:02:54

the people who you want to work with.

47

: 00:02:56

So fill in the survey.

48

: 00:02:57

You'll get that for free

as a thank you from us.

49

: 00:02:59

But you'll also get all of the

information and the data and

50

: 00:03:02

the report once it's complete.

51

: 00:03:04

So as I said, this podcast is just

going on the data that we've got so

52

: 00:03:07

far, and we've had around, I think

it's about 230 or so responses at

53

: 00:03:11

the time of recording this podcast.

54

: 00:03:13

We've got a lot of information

but we still want more.

55

: 00:03:16

And in this podcast, I'm just gonna

go through a few of the things that

56

: 00:03:19

this survey so far has highlighted.

57

: 00:03:22

It's highlighted a lot more than what I'm

gonna talk about in this podcast today.

58

: 00:03:25

So wait for the final report.

59

: 00:03:27

This is like a sleek peek, if you like.

60

: 00:03:29

But we do want more and more voices to

get involved so that we can give you

61

: 00:03:33

as much information as we possibly can

62

: 00:03:35

So today I'm gonna go through a few

different things that the survey

63

: 00:03:38

responses have highlighted already.

64

: 00:03:40

I wanna start with Instagram and what

I'm gonna call the Instagram trap.

65

: 00:03:44

Now, if you already offer Instagram

to clients as a social media manager,

66

: 00:03:49

this will be really interesting to you.

67

: 00:03:51

What we found, and why this is

interesting, is because we haven't

68

: 00:03:55

just promoted the survey on Instagram.

69

: 00:03:57

We have promoted it on ads, we've

used LinkedIn, we've used Threads,

70

: 00:04:01

we've used Facebook, we've used email.

71

: 00:04:04

We've had other people

share the survey for us.

72

: 00:04:06

We've shared it in so many different

places, not just Instagram.

73

: 00:04:10

In fact, I think Instagram is the place

that we've probably mentioned it least.

74

: 00:04:14

But the results show that 94% of people

who've completed the survey so far manage

75

: 00:04:19

Instagram for clients or do something

to do with Instagram for clients.

76

: 00:04:23

Maybe they train them

on there, what have you.

77

: 00:04:25

So basically, almost everyone who's

completed the survey gets paid for

78

: 00:04:30

something to do with Instagram,

which I found fascinating considering

79

: 00:04:34

where we've put the survey.

80

: 00:04:36

But what I found really interesting

about this is that so many social media

81

: 00:04:39

managers are offering Instagram services

to clients, but only around half of

82

: 00:04:45

those people say that Instagram is their

most profitable service, which is wild.

83

: 00:04:51

If it's not your most

profitable service, what is?

84

: 00:04:54

And why are you not doing more of that?

85

: 00:04:56

I just thought that was so interesting.

86

: 00:04:58

So let's talk about why Instagram

probably isn't as profitable as we're

87

: 00:05:03

all led to believe It's not just about

what you're charging, for a start.

88

: 00:05:07

Of course, you could charge more

and make it more profitable, but I

89

: 00:05:10

don't think it's just about that.

90

: 00:05:11

It's about how much work

Instagram takes, isn't it?

91

: 00:05:14

If you think about what you actually

deliver for one Instagram client

92

: 00:05:18

in a m- in a month, it's probably a

mixture of reels, which require maybe

93

: 00:05:23

filming or editing, sorting out covers,

captions, hooks, all of those things.

94

: 00:05:28

Carousels, maybe you're making

carousels or you're telling your

95

: 00:05:31

clients what to put on carousels.

96

: 00:05:33

If you're making them, that's

maybe, like, eight to 10 slides.

97

: 00:05:36

Maybe you're designing all of those.

98

: 00:05:38

Maybe there's also static posts.

99

: 00:05:39

Maybe there's also

stories on a daily basis.

100

: 00:05:42

Maybe you're also doing community

management, replying to DMs, engagement,

101

: 00:05:46

like proactive engagement and stuff.

102

: 00:05:48

Maybe you're also researching um, SEO and

all of those sorts of things, monitoring

103

: 00:05:53

trends, analytics and reporting.

104

: 00:05:55

Like, that's a lot of

stuff for one client.

105

: 00:05:58

So when it comes to what you're charging

for Instagram, I feel like not as many

106

: 00:06:02

people are thinking about that when

they're putting their prices together.

107

: 00:06:06

You might think that 1,000 pounds

sounds like a lot of money, but when

108

: 00:06:10

you think about all of those things

that I've just said, if you're charging

109

: 00:06:13

1,000 pounds or less, you know, if

you're charging 600 pounds, it's a

110

: 00:06:17

lot of work for that amount of money.

111

: 00:06:19

And by the time you've worked out

your hourly rate, which we would

112

: 00:06:21

never, ever recommend anyone charges

hourly, but just for a comparison,

113

: 00:06:27

you're probably not getting paid very

much per the hour for whatever it

114

: 00:06:30

is that you're doing on Instagram.

115

: 00:06:31

If you think about it in relation to

LinkedIn, so 62% of social media managers

116

: 00:06:36

who took the survey are doing LinkedIn.

117

: 00:06:38

It was way less than

who are doing Instagram.

118

: 00:06:42

But if you're offering LinkedIn, it's

probably way less work because your

119

: 00:06:45

client probably needs a handful of posts

a week, maybe some engagement and what

120

: 00:06:49

have you, but there's way less output.

121

: 00:06:51

You're probably not doing all of the

things that you're doing on Instagram.

122

: 00:06:54

Probably less carousels, less video

editing, less worrying about you know,

123

: 00:06:57

the captions on the videos, the covers.

124

: 00:06:59

There's no stories, for example.

125

: 00:07:01

So there's, the output is less, and we're

not even talking about the outcomes.

126

: 00:07:05

We're just talking about the output.

127

: 00:07:06

So even if you charged a similar

amount for LinkedIn, your hourly rate

128

: 00:07:11

is immediately going to be better.

129

: 00:07:14

And that's why people who put

that they were using LinkedIn

130

: 00:07:18

reported it as the more profitable

service that they're offering.

131

: 00:07:22

So just think about that.

132

: 00:07:23

It's not just about, "Oh, well, maybe

we should all go and offer LinkedIn."

133

: 00:07:26

No, that's what I, not what I'm saying.

134

: 00:07:29

What I'm saying is, what are you

actually charging in relation

135

: 00:07:33

to the work that you're doing?

136

: 00:07:35

And if you figure it out, if you have

an Instagram client who is, let's just

137

: 00:07:39

pluck numbers out of thin air, £800 a

month, it might be that that works out to

138

: 00:07:44

you're only actually getting £15 an hour.

139

: 00:07:45

Whereas a LinkedIn client who you're

charging less, let's say you're

140

: 00:07:48

charging £600 a month, hopefully

you're not charging that little by the

141

: 00:07:51

way, th- this is just for some maths.

142

: 00:07:53

If you're charging £600 a month, it might

be that you're actually therefore being

143

: 00:07:57

paid £40 an hour, so it's more profitable.

144

: 00:07:59

I am not saying ditch

Instagram by any stretch of the

145

: 00:08:02

imagination, absolutely not.

146

: 00:08:03

But if Instagram is the only

offering that you're doing and

147

: 00:08:08

it's demanding more output, just

think about what do you need to do.

148

: 00:08:13

Do you need to charge more?

149

: 00:08:15

Do you need to reduce the deliverables

because maybe some of those things are not

150

: 00:08:19

as impactful in terms of the results, and

focus on the things that are impactful?

151

: 00:08:24

Are there ways that you need

to change how you're working?

152

: 00:08:27

Or do, is it just simply a case

of that you're undercharging?

153

: 00:08:31

Have a think about all of those things

in relation to what it is you're doing

154

: 00:08:35

when it comes to working on Instagram.

155

: 00:08:36

We've always said that Instagram is like a

high-demand, high-output kind of platform

156

: 00:08:42

and, you know, it just seems to get more

and more demanding as time goes, but I

157

: 00:08:46

think people are sucking those demands up,

you know, and not putting their prices up

158

: 00:08:51

to kind of match the output and the, the

work that you're actually putting into it.

159

: 00:08:56

And that brings me on nicely to the

second thing we wanted to talk about from

160

: 00:09:00

these results, which is about pricing.

161

: 00:09:03

Specifically about raising your prices.

162

: 00:09:06

Now, this statistic, I know obviously

these are only early results, but

163

: 00:09:10

they are blowing my mind and making

me quite depressed, I won't lie.

164

: 00:09:15

So this is the headline stat on here.

165

: 00:09:18

52% of social media managers who've

taken this survey haven't raised

166

: 00:09:23

their prices in the last 12 months.

167

: 00:09:25

Can we just sit with that for a minute?

168

: 00:09:27

That's over half of the people who

took the survey haven't increased

169

: 00:09:31

their prices in the last 12 months.

170

: 00:09:33

Can we just think about all of the

other things that have increased

171

: 00:09:36

in price in the last 12 months?

172

: 00:09:38

The obvious ones, fuel and food,

they've increased in the last 12 months.

173

: 00:09:41

If you rent, I would imagine that

your rent has probably gone up.

174

: 00:09:44

Your mortgage has probably gone up.

175

: 00:09:47

Every single thing that we're

doing has gone up in price.

176

: 00:09:50

So why have your prices not

gone up in the last 12 months?

177

: 00:09:53

It blows my mind.

178

: 00:09:54

This isn't me having a go at all,

but it's just like, I just want

179

: 00:09:59

you to think, "Oh my God, yeah.

180

: 00:10:00

No, everything else has gone up,

so why haven't my prices gone up?"

181

: 00:10:03

Your clients are probably like,

cheering behind the scenes, "Oh yeah,

182

: 00:10:07

they haven't put their prices up.

183

: 00:10:08

This is easy."

184

: 00:10:09

Y- because everyone is expecting

price increases and if you haven't

185

: 00:10:13

put them up, like, why is that?

186

: 00:10:15

What is also really interesting is

that 37% said that they haven't put

187

: 00:10:19

their prices up, but they plan to.

188

: 00:10:21

So they want to put their prices

up, but they haven't done it yet.

189

: 00:10:24

So they know they should,

but they haven't done it yet.

190

: 00:10:26

What is it that's stopping you

from putting your prices up?

191

: 00:10:29

Saying you're gonna raise your prices

is not the same as raising your prices.

192

: 00:10:33

You have to go and do the work.

193

: 00:10:34

You have to go and put the price up.

194

: 00:10:36

And I know that sometimes it's scary,

but the more months that go by, and

195

: 00:10:42

the more it just stays a conversation

in your head, the more your income

196

: 00:10:44

stays the same, and the less profitable

your Instagram service becomes.

197

: 00:10:49

And I know that the people that are saying

they're going to increase their prices

198

: 00:10:53

but haven't done it are doing it probably

because you're afraid of those awkward

199

: 00:10:57

conversations with the existing clients.

200

: 00:11:00

You're afraid you're gonna lose

those clients, and you, maybe

201

: 00:11:02

you don't know what to say.

202

: 00:11:03

. Maybe it's even im- imposter

syndrome kind of creeping in.

203

: 00:11:07

Maybe you're questioning

yourself and thinking, you

204

: 00:11:08

know, "Am I really worth more?

205

: 00:11:10

Who am I to charge more?"

206

: 00:11:11

But even if we just go based on economics,

if you like, of the fact that everyone

207

: 00:11:17

else has put their prices up, it shouldn't

be an awkward conversation because

208

: 00:11:21

clients will not be surprised that

your prices are going up for a start.

209

: 00:11:25

They're probably more surprised

that they haven't gone up yet.

210

: 00:11:27

If you're doing a good job for your

client, and your client understands

211

: 00:11:31

that because you're doing really good

communication, you know, your reports are

212

: 00:11:34

telling the right stories, then it's a

no-brainer that they're going to say yes.

213

: 00:11:39

They're not going to get rid of you.

214

: 00:11:41

But if you are worried about putting your

prices up, if you're a member, in the

215

: 00:11:46

members portal, we have , a thing in there

which will help you to risk assess whether

216

: 00:11:50

or not you should put your prices up.

217

: 00:11:52

But basically, you want to just

ask yourself, "What will happen

218

: 00:11:55

if I put my prices up and my

clients say no or they fire me?

219

: 00:12:00

Have I got a backup plan in terms of

income coming in from somewhere else?"

220

: 00:12:04

And that could look like you have

got your offer triangle built out,

221

: 00:12:07

so you've got other services that you

can go and sell to recoup that income.

222

: 00:12:12

It could look like you've got

leads who are, you know, who

223

: 00:12:15

you can go and follow up with.

224

: 00:12:17

Maybe you've got proposals in

with clients, so you know that you

225

: 00:12:19

could easily replace these people.

226

: 00:12:21

If you have a plan B and a backup plan,

it's way less risky to put your prices up.

227

: 00:12:25

So I'd definitely think about

having that plan B in place.

228

: 00:12:28

But don't just keep putting your

prices off because you haven't

229

: 00:12:31

had time to have a plan B.

230

: 00:12:33

Like those prices need to go up,

especially if you know that you're

231

: 00:12:37

already undercharging, and especially

if you know that the platform you're

232

: 00:12:40

spending your most time on is the

least profitable and you have figured

233

: 00:12:44

out your hourly rate and you may

as well, you know, go and get a job

234

: 00:12:47

none of us want to go and have

to go and work for somebody else

235

: 00:12:50

and have to ask to have a lunch

break and ask to have a day off.

236

: 00:12:53

Remember why you've gone freelance,

and one of the things that we have to

237

: 00:12:56

do as freelancers is pull up our big

girl pants and, you know, have these

238

: 00:13:00

awkward conversations with clients.

239

: 00:13:03

If you're struggling with that,

especially if you're a member,

240

: 00:13:05

come into the members community,

let's have a conversation about it.

241

: 00:13:08

Come to a members call.

242

: 00:13:09

We can talk it through and we

can help you to do what you need

243

: 00:13:12

to do to put your prices up.

244

: 00:13:13

The good news is though that 32% have

raised prices, but they've only done it

245

: 00:13:19

for new clients, which is a good thing.

246

: 00:13:21

Like definitely do that.

247

: 00:13:22

I know that feels like an

easier option, but it's it's

248

: 00:13:26

something you should be doing.

249

: 00:13:27

Just charging more for your next

client is a really good start.

250

: 00:13:31

If you've been a longtime listener or

you've been in our world for a while,

251

: 00:13:34

you'll know that Laura and I never charge

the same amount to, like, the next client

252

: 00:13:40

that we charged for the last client.

253

: 00:13:42

Our prices are constantly going up.

254

: 00:13:44

And our prices are also obviously

based on our goals, our you know,

255

: 00:13:49

our expenses, our lifestyles,

but also the client themselves.

256

: 00:13:54

Every single client deserves a bespoke

price because they're all different.

257

: 00:13:58

They have different assets.

258

: 00:14:00

They have different outcomes they want.

259

: 00:14:01

They're using different platforms.

260

: 00:14:03

They require different levels of input.

261

: 00:14:06

So every single client needs a

different price and that price

262

: 00:14:09

can continue to go up, right?

263

: 00:14:11

Until you hit what you

think is your ceiling.

264

: 00:14:13

And I would hazard a guess that you have

not hit that, hit that ceiling yet of

265

: 00:14:18

how high your, your income could go.

266

: 00:14:20

If you've been planning to raise

your prices for a while or you

267

: 00:14:23

haven't raised your price in the

last 12 months, please take this as

268

: 00:14:26

your sign to do something about it.

269

: 00:14:30

I dare you to do something about

increasing your prices this week.

270

: 00:14:34

Whether it is actually having the

conversation with an existing client,

271

: 00:14:37

changing the number that you're about to

put on a quote, changing the number that's

272

: 00:14:41

on your website as your minimum fee.

273

: 00:14:43

Go and do something about

raising your prices.

274

: 00:14:45

Please take this as a nudge.

275

: 00:14:47

And by the way, if you haven't

yet filled in the survey, please

276

: 00:14:50

go and fill in the survey.

277

: 00:14:52

We'll make sure that the

link is in the show notes.

278

: 00:14:54

We really want as much information as we

can from all of you guys, because the more

279

: 00:14:57

people who fill in the survey, the more

accurate the information is that's coming

280

: 00:15:02

back out and the more we can help you.

281

: 00:15:04

So we'll make sure that that

link is in the show notes.

282

: 00:15:06

The third thing I want to

talk about is coming onto AI.

283

: 00:15:09

Now, I actually asked AI to go and look

through all of the results and tell me

284

: 00:15:15

the things that I could be talking about

on this podcast, and the topic name

285

: 00:15:20

that it gave for this next segment that

I'm gonna talk about is the AI paradox,

286

: 00:15:24

which I thought sounded w- really swish.

287

: 00:15:27

I was like, "Okay, I'll go with that."

288

: 00:15:29

But this is basically

what it's diving into.

289

: 00:15:31

So the headline stats for you.

290

: 00:15:33

97% of social media managers are

now using AI in some way, and

291

: 00:15:39

I think that's fairly obvious.

292

: 00:15:41

We've all been using AI in some way, but

it's interesting that 97% of social media

293

: 00:15:46

managers are now saying that they're

using AI in some way in their business.

294

: 00:15:51

Most people said that they're

saving between two to 10 hours

295

: 00:15:55

a week, which is amazing.

296

: 00:15:57

What are you doing with that free time?

297

: 00:15:59

That's what I want to know.

298

: 00:16:00

What are you doing with

the time that you saved?

299

: 00:16:02

Are you using it to go and do fun

stuff, go and lie in the sun or g-

300

: 00:16:06

you know, go and have a day off?

301

: 00:16:07

Or are you using it to make money in

other ways or to work on your business?

302

: 00:16:11

Or are you just saving that time and

you're not doing anything with it?

303

: 00:16:15

I'm so interested in what you're

doing, so please come and tell us.

304

: 00:16:19

Let us know what you're

doing with that free time.

305

: 00:16:20

But what I did find a little bit upsetting

about this is that only 8% of people

306

: 00:16:25

who are using AI are charging more.

307

: 00:16:28

81% said that AI has made zero

difference to their pricing.

308

: 00:16:32

And I found that really

interesting because it made me

309

: 00:16:35

think, "Well, hang on a minute.

310

: 00:16:36

What are you actually using AI for that

you don't think that you can charge

311

: 00:16:40

more and you can increase your prices?

312

: 00:16:42

, because if you are using AI for the

right things, it should be a no-brainer

313

: 00:16:47

that you should be charging more.

314

: 00:16:49

Because we're not just using

AI to save time, are we?

315

: 00:16:52

We're using AI to do a better job,

and therefore, if our clients are

316

: 00:16:56

getting a better job and they are

getting better results, it makes n-

317

: 00:17:01

no sense that we're not charging more.

318

: 00:17:03

I just wanna th- want you to think

about what is it that you're using AI

319

: 00:17:06

for that a client wouldn't necessarily

be getting if AI wasn't a thing?

320

: 00:17:11

So for example, let me just, like, give

you an example off the top of my head.

321

: 00:17:15

It used to be that the only businesses

that could really afford to do really

322

: 00:17:20

great, like, customer research maybe

competitor research, all of these things

323

: 00:17:24

that would help them, they could only

do it if they had big budgets and access

324

: 00:17:28

to either big teams who could go and

do that research or expensive tools

325

: 00:17:32

that could do that research for them.

326

: 00:17:34

Nowadays, we can use AI to go and

get a lot of that information.

327

: 00:17:37

So why are we putting our time and

effort into learning how to get that

328

: 00:17:42

information out of AI in the, the

right ways and giving that to clients

329

: 00:17:48

without them having to pay for it?

330

: 00:17:51

Like, I'm not saying that we should be

ripping clients off and charging them

331

: 00:17:55

what they would've had to pay if, you

know, if they were Coca-Cola, for example.

332

: 00:17:59

But if they have access to that kind

of stuff now and we're the ones who are

333

: 00:18:03

managing the tools to get that information

for them, that comes at a cost.

334

: 00:18:08

I just want you to think about that.

335

: 00:18:09

And what came out of the survey was

that there seems to be two types of

336

: 00:18:15

social media managers when it comes to

AI and pricing The one type of social

337

: 00:18:21

media manager prices on time, so how

long it takes them to do something,

338

: 00:18:25

and the other type prices on value,

so which is what the client gets.

339

: 00:18:30

Now, if you are somebody who prices

based on time and how long something's

340

: 00:18:33

gonna take you, then AI is gonna be a

big problem for you because it means

341

: 00:18:39

things are gonna take less time,

therefore you're gonna make less money.

342

: 00:18:42

If you are somebody who prices based

on value, AI is rocket fuel for you.

343

: 00:18:48

It means you're gonna get the same

outcome not just the same outcome,

344

: 00:18:51

it's better outcome, for less effort,

and you're gonna make more profit.

345

: 00:18:56

So have a think about that.

346

: 00:18:57

That's important.

347

: 00:18:58

Have a think about how is your pricing

and how will AI impact on that.

348

: 00:19:02

The 8% who are charging more because

they're using AI and not charging

349

: 00:19:07

more for AI, like they're not having

conversations with clients saying, "I'm

350

: 00:19:10

using AI to do this, so therefore I'm

gonna charge more," they're charging

351

: 00:19:14

more because they're delivering more.

352

: 00:19:16

They are giving better strategies.

353

: 00:19:18

They are having more deep work.

354

: 00:19:20

They're able to do the research

that helps them to do a better job.

355

: 00:19:24

So if you want to be one of those

8% we need to start thinking

356

: 00:19:27

about what am I using AI for?

357

: 00:19:28

What are the possibilities that I

could use AI for, and how are they

358

: 00:19:32

gonna impact me and my clients, and

how are they gonna impact my pricing?

359

: 00:19:36

The fourth and final thing that

we've pulled out from the results

360

: 00:19:39

so far is again based on AI,

and it's what AI cannot replace.

361

: 00:19:44

Now, a lot of people are

scaremongering on social.

362

: 00:19:48

You've seen all the posts, "Claude

Code just killed this tool," and,

363

: 00:19:51

"Social media managers are no

longer needed," and all this stuff.

364

: 00:19:54

Like, it's all absolute BS if you ask me.

365

: 00:19:57

But it was interesting to hear that

it's not just me who thinks this.

366

: 00:20:00

There are lots of social media managers

who have pulled out the things that

367

: 00:20:04

AI cannot replace, and these are the

conversations that you need to be having

368

: 00:20:07

as a community to kind of build yourself

back up when you're seeing all of these

369

: 00:20:11

horrendous posts on Instagram and Facebook

about all of the things that Claude

370

: 00:20:16

Code has just killed, and Claude Cowork

can do this, so you don't need a...

371

: 00:20:20

it's just absolute BS.

372

: 00:20:21

Anyway so I saw a post recently on

Instagram that really stuck with me, and I

373

: 00:20:28

wanted to say it out loud on this podcast

'cause I just felt like, actually, this is

374

: 00:20:33

really interesting, and this could really

help people to think this way as well.

375

: 00:20:37

So the post said, " AI is data,

and data can only look backwards.

376

: 00:20:42

Creativity looks forwards."

377

: 00:20:44

And I just thought, "Oh,

yeah, that's so true."

378

: 00:20:46

And then I saw another thing that

Hans Zimmer, blast from the past, had

379

: 00:20:50

said, and he said, "AI is a snapshot

of the past being sold as the future."

380

: 00:20:56

AI is always looking backwards.

381

: 00:21:00

The humans, you and I, we're the

ones who are looking forwards.

382

: 00:21:04

So AI can't replace that future thinking.

383

: 00:21:09

Yes, it can kind of make predictions based

on past data, but AI is always trained

384

: 00:21:15

on something that's already happened.

385

: 00:21:17

By the way, if you don't know who

Hans Zimmer is, he did, like, the

386

: 00:21:20

music on, like, Gladiator and The

Lion King and stuff like that.

387

: 00:21:23

I know, really random.

388

: 00:21:24

Anyway, moving on.

389

: 00:21:26

So just to repeat that, AI can only

look at what's already been done.

390

: 00:21:30

It can only look backwards.

391

: 00:21:32

And what social media managers

said, which was also in relation to

392

: 00:21:36

what AI cannot replace, were that

there's some really good things.

393

: 00:21:41

I'm gonna read out some of these

things 'cause I just thought

394

: 00:21:42

they were really, really good.

395

: 00:21:43

AI can't hold you accountable.

396

: 00:21:45

Notifications and AI can be switched off.

397

: 00:21:47

A human can't, and it's so true, isn't it?

398

: 00:21:50

A human can keep nagging.

399

: 00:21:51

We've all been there, either as the nagger

or the naggee, and AI can't do that.

400

: 00:21:57

Like I asked Claude to remind me of

something, and it's reminded me about

401

: 00:22:00

five times and I still haven't done it.

402

: 00:22:02

So if a per- person had kept nagging

me, I probably would've done it by now.

403

: 00:22:06

It's the same as when we set

reminders on our phone, right?

404

: 00:22:08

And we just ignore them.

405

: 00:22:10

AI can't replace that accountability.

406

: 00:22:13

Somebody else said, "Half of what

I'm doing is thinking about whether

407

: 00:22:16

something's within scope, whether a

regulator would frown at it, whether

408

: 00:22:21

a comment in the DMs needs a careful

reply rather than a quick one."

409

: 00:22:25

And it's that kind of

moderation, isn't it?

410

: 00:22:28

The human ability to moderate

whether something needs doing,

411

: 00:22:34

should be doing, should be replied

to in this way or that way.

412

: 00:22:38

It's, it's- Human judgment.

413

: 00:22:41

AI can't replace the judgment, just

like it can't replace taste or emotion.

414

: 00:22:46

It doesn't have any of

those kind of skills.

415

: 00:22:48

Now, somebody else said that AI

can't replace them because they help

416

: 00:22:51

them to tell their clients' stories.

417

: 00:22:54

That's one that I would push back

on because I think AI is brilliant

418

: 00:22:57

at helping us to tell our stories,

and the reason I say that is because

419

: 00:23:01

our Claude can do that for us.

420

: 00:23:04

It depends how well you're training

your, your AI tools as to whether

421

: 00:23:09

or not it can help you to do that.

422

: 00:23:11

And so if you are the person who's

training the AI tool, then the

423

: 00:23:15

AI tool can tell great stories.

424

: 00:23:17

What I would say is that most business

owners don't know that's a thing, or

425

: 00:23:23

if they do know that it's a thing, they

don't know how to train the AI tools

426

: 00:23:26

and put all of that information in.

427

: 00:23:28

And I think that's a massive gap that

social media managers can fill, and that

428

: 00:23:33

could become an incredible paid service.

429

: 00:23:36

. Things that did keep coming up was

the strategy and seeing the bigger

430

: 00:23:39

picture, the real human relationship

that somebody has with a client,

431

: 00:23:43

the in-person content shoots.

432

: 00:23:45

Like AI can't replace that.

433

: 00:23:46

Well, currently anyway, until we

see like robots driving around

434

: 00:23:49

and going and taking photos.

435

: 00:23:51

It can't read the room.

436

: 00:23:53

It can't see like where the

sensitivity needs to be.

437

: 00:23:56

It has no judgment and nuance, as I said.

438

: 00:23:59

And those things kept coming up, which

I just thought was like interesting.

439

: 00:24:03

AI has not replaced us.

440

: 00:24:05

I think it's unlikely to replace

us anytime soon, but it has

441

: 00:24:08

clarified what we actually do.

442

: 00:24:11

The boring, repeatable bits, AI can

do those The things that we don't

443

: 00:24:16

need to do, chucking something into

a scheduler, AI can do that for you.

444

: 00:24:20

Anything that you do the same way more

than once, AI or an automation can do.

445

: 00:24:25

But it can't take away the thinking, the

judgment, the forward-looking creativity

446

: 00:24:30

you know, the str- the strategizing,

the pulling all of the different

447

: 00:24:33

reports in, knowing what a client

needs, understanding what the audience

448

: 00:24:39

really mean by saying certain things.

449

: 00:24:41

Those sorts of things it can't replace.

450

: 00:24:43

It can make our jobs easier,

it can make us better at our

451

: 00:24:46

jobs, but it can't replace us.

452

: 00:24:49

So I just thought all of those

things were so interesting to pull

453

: 00:24:52

out of the survey, and as I've said,

this is just a little snapshot.

454

: 00:24:55

We're s- we're not done.

455

: 00:24:56

There is a lot more in there,

and there is a lot more data

456

: 00:25:00

that we wanna collect from you.

457

: 00:25:01

So if you haven't done the

survey, please, please do it.

458

: 00:25:03

I can't beg you enough.

459

: 00:25:05

So just a quick recap of the

things that we've spoken about.

460

: 00:25:08

Instagram came out as the, like, number

one platform for delivery, but the, it did

461

: 00:25:14

not come out as being the most profitable.

462

: 00:25:17

Over half of people who took the

survey haven't increased their prices,

463

: 00:25:22

and most of the people who said

they want to haven't done it either.

464

: 00:25:25

We also pulled out that AI is giving

us back time, but how we're using

465

: 00:25:29

that time is questionable, and we're

definitely not getting paid for that yet.

466

: 00:25:33

What we do get paid for is the human

forward-thinking stuff that AI can't do.

467

: 00:25:39

We want lots and lots more responses.

468

: 00:25:41

The link for the survey

is in the show notes.

469

: 00:25:43

Please go and take the survey.

470

: 00:25:45

I cannot beg you enough.

471

: 00:25:47

We have got a shameless bribe.

472

: 00:25:49

It's completely anonymous
