Today we’d like to introduce you to Nikki May.
Hi Nikki, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I started my career working in Operations. However, after getting married, my husband and I decided to travel for 3+ years full-time. So I left that job in 2020 and took the first one I got offered – which was only 5 hours per week as a Social Media Manager.
I didn’t want to mess up this brand’s account so I actually started a travel account to test out different formats and strategies. If they worked on my creator account, than I used it for the business. I grew my personal account to over 10k followers, made the company I worked for more than $400k from social media alone and found out that I absolutely loved this new career path.
In May of 2023 I had the idea to start a business where I taught small business owners how to run their own social accounts. I wanted to work with the businesses that couldn’t yet hire someone else but knew the impact social media could have for them. What I found however, is that business owners didn’t want to manage their own socials. They wanted someone else to do it. And do it well.
So I switched my business to become a Social Media Management Agency and that’s when things took off.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Running any business is a challenge so I definitely had some struggles. I had my rates astronomically too low in the beginning so it got to the point that I needed to hire help but didn’t have the finances.
Because of this, I started adding on services like running other company’s Google Ads, designing newsletters and organizing DM funnels and email automations. I started doing things outside of what I loved and while it allowed me to hire an amazing team, it wasn’t what I really wanted to do.
It took a while to come to the realization that I needed to raise my Social Media Management prices and get rid of the extras (except newsletters), but once I did, my agency really began to grow.
I have said from the beginning that I want to be the best of the best. I want an agency that can rapidly and organically grow business accounts by infusing the owner’s personality and using all of the best strategies. So now, my team and I are setting up all the systems behind the scenes, doing more research, and finding the best softwares so we can become the top agency.
