Surprising Truth About SMMs Nobody Tells | Clients Think SMMs Are Scammers | The Unfireable Marketer

Business owners have been burned by social media managers before. Multiple times. And that's created a reputation problem for our entire industry.

In this video, I break down:
Why your "great engagement" means nothing to clients
The silent killer that destroys trust faster than bad results
Why working 24/7 is actually a red flag (not dedication)
How most SMMs leave projects wrong - and pay for it forever
The uncomfortable root cause behind everything else

This isn't theory. Every client I've worked with raised my pay and didn't want to let me go. I'm still in touch with many of them today.

Our profession deserves a better reputation. Let's actually earn it.
