Meet the Author
Nicole Hanaburgh
Nine months after leaving my full-time job, I had made over $100K through content creation. But I didn't start with a huge following, a marketing degree, or a perfect business plan.
I learned how to create content for business owners, grew my clients' pages and my own, added brand deals and multiple income streams, and built a business that gave me more freedom.
I wrote The Social Media Money Map because I wanted to create the roadmap I wish I'd had when I was starting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know what I want to do with social media yet?
No. The book is designed to help you understand the different ways you can turn social media skills into income so you can decide what makes sense for you. You don't have to build every income stream—or have your entire business figured out before you begin.
Is this for beginners?
Yes! I wrote The Social Media Money Map for the person who wants to make money through social media but isn't sure where to start. You don't need previous experience or a big audience.
Do I need a big following?
No. One of the biggest things I want you to learn is that you don't need a million followers to make money from social media. There are ways to start earning with the skills you have long before you build a large audience.
Do I need to be a content creator already?
Not at all. I walk you through the skills I would focus on if I were starting from zero today and how you can begin turning those skills into income.
Can I use this to make money managing social media for businesses?
Absolutely. Social media management was one of the first ways I started making consistent income through content creation. I share how I got started, found clients, created content for businesses, priced my services, and grew from there.
What's the difference between the $37 book and the $97 toolkit?
The $37 option gives you The Social Media Money Map. The $97 option gives you the book PLUS the templates, guides, and resources I use to help run my own content business — so you don't have to create everything from scratch.
