This is THE Social Media Manager Bible 🙌🏻

Before I became a photographer full time, I was a social media manager. And if there is one thing I could tell all students wanting to go into social media specifically - it would be to read this book. This is my second copy (I won it in a giveaway and its actually signed!) but my original copy is so worn down from all the highlights and notes I have in the book. I love everything this book taught me about social media marketing and I cannot recommend it enough. Aliza is also super responsive on social media and tends to answer any questions you may have about the field! That might have been a huge part of why I enjoyed it so much. So much great advice packed into those pages. An absolute must read for social media managers!
