An alternative to super expensive social media marketing consultants

Typically, social media marketing consultants charge a high consulting fee. But social media marketing mentors work by the “done-with-you” approach. This allows you to learn how to manage social media on your own, eliminating the need for expensive consultants or agencies.

Social media marketing mentors will focus on:

• Cost-Effective Expertise and Support: Because mentors are passionate about helping others, they’ll provide you with support and advice for social media marketing without the steep fees.
• Tailored Guidance: Your mentor will examine your specific situation and provide step-by-step walkthroughs of social media management tools.
• Actionable Advice: A social media marketing mentor won’t leave you with a bunch of nonactionable theories. Instead, they’ll walk you through exactly how to start implementing their advice.

Most social media marketing mentors have managed hundreds of campaigns over their careers. Some have been working in social media since the early days of the platforms.

These mentors have the real-world experience you need to give your campaigns an edge.

With a mentor’s advice, social media algorithms will be less of a black box. You’ll understand what limits your posts’ visibility, what can get your content flagged, and what types of posts tend to resonate better with your audience.

For more advanced campaign managers, a social media mentor can walk you through niche targeting tactics, detailed frameworks to test different content types, and how to manage large social media ad budgets. They can even show you examples of their own successful campaigns so you can learn from them.

So you can get an even greater ROI with less time, testing, and money, regardless of your experience level.

When it comes to social media marketing consulting, traditional consultants typically charge between $100 to $200 per hour, depending on their level of expertise and reputation. And when you’re already investing in social media tools and ads, the costs can add up fast, especially for startups who need ongoing support.

In contrast, GrowthMentor offers a much more affordable and flexible solution. For just $99 per month, you get unlimited access to dozens of social media marketing mentors. This flat monthly fee means you don’t have to worry about hourly rates and dread charges for follow-up calls.

GrowthMentor also allows you to connect with different mentors, rather than locking you into an exclusive contract with a consultant. You can chat with a variety of experts and learn from their perspectives.

By choosing GrowthMentor, you’ll get continuous, tailored guidance from experienced social media marketing pros, all without the hefty price tag. Which means you have more in your pocket to put towards your campaigns instead.

Excellent question. After all, the “mentorship” world is full of high-priced consultants, armchair analysts who have never done the work themselves, and outright snake-oil salesmen looking to make a quick buck.

But, there are plenty of experts out there who want to share their experience and knowledge. At GrowthMentor, we’re lucky to have 700+ of those experts.

The secret comes from our vetting process. We not only double-vet all of our mentors so only the top 3% makes it through our process, we also look at their soft skills. Because no one wants a mentor who’s a snob or a jerk.

On top of it, 85% of our mentors don’t charge an extra fee. Why?

The short answer: Because they want to help people.

The long answer is because…

• They enjoy sharing their knowledge
• They learn from their mentees
• They want to be a “force for good” in the business world
• They want to pay it forward

But don’t just trust our word on it. Hear from the mentors themselves.
