How much should you spend?
If you’re serious about producing real measurable results for your business with your social media, you need to be prepared to spend at least $7,000/month all in (retainer + ad budget).
Generally speaking, this is for well funded startups or medium sized (and up) businesses that typically have established marketing budgets to work with. If you’re a small local business or side hustle, chances are this won’t apply.
