“Social media manager for my small flower shop, one month”
I'm hiring a social media manager for my small business, a two-person flower shop in Portland, for one month. It covers Instagram and Facebook, and I want to see how it goes before committing to anything longer.
The scope: plan 12 posts and 8 stories for the month, write captions in a warm, plain voice, choose from photos I take on my phone (I'll upload about 50 to a shared folder), and schedule everything in Meta Business Suite. You'll get access to Business Suite only, never my personal logins. Seasonal arrangements and local delivery are the main themes.
$450
- Content calendar with 12 posts and 8 stories
- Written captions and hashtags
- All posts scheduled in Meta Business Suite
- End-of-month results summary
For: US owner of a two-person flower shop

“Social media manager for authors: launch plan for my debut novel”
I need a social media manager for authors to plan and pre-schedule six weeks of posts around my debut novel. It's a literary mystery from a small press; my publisher handles ads but not my own accounts.
I'm on Instagram and just starting on TikTok. I'd like a six-week plan (pre-order, release week and the weeks after), 18 posts including carousels and simple Reel ideas I can film at home, captions in my voice, and a short list of bookstagram and BookTok hashtags for the genre. I'll share the cover, blurb, early reader quotes my publisher has cleared and some photos.
$520
- Six-week launch content plan
- 18 posts with captions, scheduled in Later or Buffer
- Hashtag list for bookstagram and BookTok
For: US debut novelist with a small-press publisher

“Show me how to grow my Instagram business page as an esthetician”
I want an audit and a 60-minute call on how to grow my Instagram business page as a solo esthetician in Austin. I've posted three times a week for a year, I'm stuck around 900 followers, and most bookings still come from referrals.
Before the call, please review my profile, bio, highlights, the last 30 posts and the insights I'll share by screen recording. On the call, tell me plainly what isn't working and give me a simple plan I can run myself: content pillars, how often to post Reels, local hashtags and how to turn profile visits into bookings.
$150
- Written audit of profile, bio, highlights and last 30 posts
- 60-minute strategy video call
- One-page 30-day action plan
For: Solo esthetician in Austin with a stalled Instagram account
Example task, written by Taskly. Yours can be one line; your Tasker will ask what they need.
“Social media manager for content creators to cover my 3-week leave”
I need a social media manager for content creators to run my YouTube and Instagram during 3 weeks of parental leave. I make home organizing videos for about 40,000 subscribers, and the videos and posts for those weeks are already finished.
Your job: publish the scheduled videos and posts, reply to comments in my voice using a tone guide I'll write, pin a good comment on each video, hide spam, and send me one short daily list of anything about brand deals or anything sensitive. You'll get a YouTube channel role and Instagram access through Meta Business Suite only.
$480
- 3 weeks of publishing scheduled videos and posts
- Daily comment replies and spam moderation
- A daily flag list of brand deal and sensitive messages
For: US home organizing YouTuber going on parental leave
Example task, written by Taskly. Yours can be one line; your Tasker will ask what they need.
“Social media manager for musicians: post my clips while I tour”
I need a social media manager for musicians to post my clips while I'm on a 3-week van tour with my band. We're an indie folk trio playing small venues across the Midwest, and I won't have the energy to edit and post every night.
Each day I'll drop raw phone clips into a shared folder: crowd shots, soundcheck and backstage moments. You'd cut one Reel or TikTok a day (15 to 30 seconds, captions on), write a short caption with the city and venue, and post to Instagram and TikTok. The songs are our own, so the audio is cleared. I'll add you to our scheduling tool and Meta Business Suite only.
$540
- Up to 21 short vertical clips edited from daily footage
- Captions with city and venue for each post
- Posts published on Instagram and TikTok
For: US indie band member heading out on a small-venue tour

Good questions

What people ask before they post this in the US.

01
How much does social media management cost in the US?
Usually $60–600. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.
02
How should I give a social media manager access?
Add them with a limited role or as a partner in Meta Business Suite rather than sharing your password. You can see what they schedule and remove access at any time.
03
What results should I ask for after one month?
Saves, shares, profile visits and link clicks tell you more than likes. Ask for a short summary of the top posts and what to repeat, rather than a long report.
04
When should an author start posting before a book launch?
Many authors start four to six weeks out with cover and pre-order posts, then focus on release week. Starting earlier helps if you're building an audience from scratch.
05
What can an author share without spoiling the book?
Cover reveals, the setting, research details, writing routines, short teaser lines and early reader quotes your publisher has cleared. Keep plot twists and the ending out.
06
What should I share for an Instagram audit?
A screen recording or screenshots of your insights for the last 30 to 90 days, your booking link, your top posts and a description of your ideal client. No password is needed for an audit.
07
How does paying work?
Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.
08
Who are the Taskers?
People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.
