The Hidden Cost of "Doing It Yourself"
Most small business owners in Pietermaritzburg and KwaZulu-Natal manage their own social media. And it shows — inconsistent posting, low-quality graphics, and a growing sense that it's all a waste of time. But the problem isn't social media itself. The problem is trying to do everything yourself.
Consider the real cost: 8–10 hours per week creating content, writing captions, scheduling posts, and responding to comments. That's 40+ hours per month — time you could spend on clients, sales, or simply running your business. At even a modest hourly value of R150, you're spending R6,000+ worth of your time every month on social media.
