Social Media Marketing - Making $4k - Progress Thread

[coder_for_life22]

Here's my second progress thread on FLF.

My other thread can be found here: Progress Thread - Mobile Game Progress Thread

I started a social media marketing agency back in August and spent the first 2 months laying the ground work. I started the business with a colleague of mine. We both invested in the business initially and officially launched it in January(Before I even became a part of the forums here).

I read Fastlane Millionaire book about 2 years ago but never joined the community here. So I am thankful to this book for giving me my initial ideologies and motivating me.

My business partner and I are both computer scientist and built our own in house software to manage, and help grow our clients social media, particulary instagram.

Our software is built to be bot free and allows us to get very specific as far as targeting audiences for our clients. I know there is other software out there that could be used but we wanted to build something that we could have complete control over and be able to customize things to our clients needs. It took us about 4 months to build it together.

We currently have over 10 clients and also do website development and funnel creation for our clients on the backend.

I'll be updating this thread with our progress and other information as a way of journaling my journey through this and to document the process to look back on one day.
