Most social media managers are faced with an insurmountable amount of work. They are expected to manage many job tasks, such as content development, user management and development, guest service, planning, and advertising with a minimal budget and low salary. It’s no wonder approximately 77% of Social Media Managers report they work upwards of eight hours a day and approximately 1/3 report burnout.
