Boss wants me to post a reel, a post, and a story every single day. I’m a one person marketing team aka: graphic designer, content creator, photographer/videographer, website designer, admin, project manager, etc. You know the deal.
It’s a small business that mostly specializes in juice and protein shakes. My posts are doing poorly and I’m sure it’s because I’m posting just to hit my quota - I still try obviously but even with research and planning and ChatGPT it’s difficult. Just creating QUALITY content is difficult in this structure.
I also do other random design/admin tasks outside of this - sometimes it takes a lot of time from my day - but not always, it’s random.
On another note: My boss said she could only give me a raise if I did more things for her - and I guess this was her way of doing that because I’ve been posting 3 times a day since September and she just gave me a $1 raise this month. I did one post or reel a day before this and usually a story a day.
So I fear she won’t want to change this flow because to her I’m “earning” my pay by doing more even though I think it’s hurting our numbers.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Thanks for the feedback y’all, a lot of you had some really solid advice.
I’m realizing that although I’m capable and have been pushing out this much content consistently, it’s my motivation + compensation (lack of benefits, not great pay, and only 5 PTO days a year) that makes me struggle to want to keep going with the job. I’m going to just keep learning what I can and finding something else that fits me better down the line.
