www.tropixmedia.com.au/social-media-managementSocial media is one of those things every business knows they need, but no one actually has time for. It’s like going to the gym. You swear you’ll start Monday, then suddenly it’s Friday and you’re eating chips in the car.
Most business owners start strong.
Then the workload hits.
Then posting becomes “I’ll do it later”.
Later becomes next month.
Next month becomes… well, let’s not talk about it.
That’s why so many businesses outsource their socials. Not because they’re clueless, but because they’re busy doing actual business things instead of arguing with Canva templates at midnight.
But how much does social media management cost?
Here’s the honest breakdown from someone who has literally been on both sides of the screen.
The price depends on a few things.
How many platforms you’re on.
How much support you want.
How much content needs creating.
Whether you want a full time employee or someone external who knows what they’re doing.
Some businesses hire a full time social media manager. Amazing if you’ve got the budget. Pricey if you don’t.
Most small to medium businesses go for affordable social media packages because they still get consistency, strategy, and real results without handing over their life savings.
Packages can start around $399 a month.
You’re not getting a full marketing department behind you at that price, but you are getting a professional who knows how to create content, schedule posts, reply to messages, and actually pay attention to your analytics so your socials do more than sit there looking confused.
And honestly, that alone is a win.
Affordable social media management usually includes things like:
Content creation
Scheduling
Replying to comments and messages
Monitoring your performance so you know what’s working
Keeping your page alive even when life gets chaotic
Some services also offer extras like ads, influencer stuff, and custom content that goes beyond the basics.
The real question isn’t “how much does it cost?”
It’s “is doing this myself costing me more?”
Most of the time, yes.
The hours, the stress, the trial and error, the posting when you’re half asleep. It adds up.
Affordable social media management is the middle ground. It keeps things consistent. It keeps your brand growing. It keeps you sane. And it doesn’t require a second mortgage.
If you want a proper breakdown, real prices, and real options that suit actual businesses, Tropix Media has everything laid out clearly.
