Basically, I was going through a financial crisis when I got this client. I live in India and my client is from the USA. They are a company selling cookies and cupcakes. The elite kind. I make content for all their social media and also handles them. I am a graphic designer primarily and the social media handling job was a side gig that I picked on in the company. I’ve been doing it for two years now so learnt pretty much a lot about it. They make me post at least 20 stories every day and 4 posts including a reel. I create all the content and don’t take a leave. They pay me 800$ per month. I am charging the same for my other clients also but they require only 4 posts a week and few stories which is not a bother. Anyway my primary client is asking me to cut down my payment. I would rather let them go honestly. But they are not agreeing with me when I tell them that I am their cheapest option. It had me wondering if social media management is that cheap in the USA? Enlighten me.
People in this thread really think an Indian marketer is gonna make 80k. Why the hell would anyone go through the hassle of dealing with India if they were able to pay an American the same amount?
You are clearly not updated regarding how much a potential Indian marketer makes here. An average IT/Tech engineer here earns $30k-$70k, I won’t even mention about business owners, or pharmaceutical/automobile/real estate startups. I used to work as a graphic designer for an agency here, they were getting paid $1200 per client monthly retainer just as a contractor.
