I'm Starting A Mini Digital Marketing Company, I Need Advice On Salary, Workers by Lastlook: 2:38pm On May 07, 2022
Hi friends,

I'm starting a mini digital marketing company. I was worried about few things regarding the listed issues below. The office, I'm setting up is kind of like digital marketing company but i'm focusing on many different niche just to keep the revenue coming although i have my main platform which i focus on while diversifying into different niche to increase incoming.

I was planning to pay 60k to 100k per month for each workers, 8 to 9am to 5 to 6pm monthly which i am planning to employ mainly 4 to 5 at a start and expand, if things looks good aftermatch.

Worker's are to:
1. One will be a graphic designer for our social media platform, and many others may involve which also related to his/her main work etc...

2. Three workers will focus on writing content, doing research, business opportunities and to increase the user's engagement, including traveling interstate and also an affiliate summit abroad for recognition (The pay will be better than the rest and increasing every 6 months interval as along the company grow, same for the rest worker's too.) Please remember I'm on a Zero level here. They will have no idea of the abroad recognition but only interstate as things might go north, which I rejected.

3. The last will see to customer support, users care, handling issues, and daily report to me.

4. My job is to see to the development of everything we might be handling, making sure no issues and the software programming.


My friend's input was the money to be paid is too much for that kind of works.


P.S: I know many people's here are experienced, please your guildline is needed, thanks.

I need advice on the listed points below because I have no experience regarding it.

My List

1. Salary is not fixed, might increase but it will never reduce from the intial agreed terms.
2. How to get Workers from the same field in the same region and how to go about interviewing them, to know, if you are up for the work, even if you are less experienced but ready to learn.
2i. Which of this will be more effective? placing an ads on Facebook or Nairaland for workers?
3. Making the environment lively without disrespecting but focus. (I'm currently 32 but crazily young like 18 yrs old )
4. Who clean the office?
5. Who handle day to day opening/closing of the office, as I might always come late to work.
6. How should i behave at work? I love to be cheerful, encouraging, pulling the goodies out of people but at the other hand, I don't want that to be taking for granted.
7. Do I need a lawyer?

May the universe bless your startup with good and productive staff.

I think you should research the current pay scale for the various existing job positions in companies offering the same services as you.

Also, I'm sure you've drawn up a business plan to project possible revenues on a bad quarter and possible revenues on a very good quarter.

If you can't presently afford the services of a cleaner, you can throw in a little something after discussion with your customer care person to clean the general area, while the other staff clean up their personal space.


About how you should behave, just be kind... Set up a reward system for good work (not favouritism) - try to understand why a person may be failing in their duties via a conversation rather than a confrontation. Don't laugh around in trivia talks within the office... But you can be jovial in discussing clients briefs and all that... Allow them space and opportunity to bring their best to the office... Don't try to overly micromanage.

Wow, I'm so glad and God almighty will reward you for your input and encouragement.


Point 1:
Definitely, I'm making arrangements and planning for the good and bad season for effective working environment. This is my third year handling the whole work, so it's time for expansion at my capability and giving back to the community/Nigeria.

Point 2:
Regarding a cleaner service, I might be able to afford this but the time might be at stake. Is there any recommend time? I'd go with the option 2, if this is hard to handle.

Questions
How to get Workers from the same field in the same region and how to go about interviewing them, to know, if you are up for the work, even if you are less experienced but ready to learn.

Which of this will be more effective? placing an ads on Facebook or Nairaland for workers?

Regarding your last statement
About how you should behave........

I really appreciate everything you wrote and I will surely do that. I'm grateful and thanks once again.

You can run ads on Facebook - very targeted ads sha (You already know this sef as the Digital Marketing Guy grin) - I'll advise you also throw your net open on nairaland threads - Career and Job sections (No need to pay for ads (seun no vex o lol) - but a thread will sort of create a community where you can just hold some mock personality assessment (possibly even look thru the profile and past comments to know the kind of person each applicant is - not the pretend we all do during interviews)

You can then reach out to people who you can then discuss their portfolios (everyone lies on CV).


For graphics designers you can search for NAIJA GRAPHICS DESIGNERS on facebook and contact anyone whose posts about their works catch your fancy.. Or even post the ad description and plead with the admin to approve.


About interviewing processes

First of all, your job description before and during interview should be very honest and straight to the point - I've come across some with too many fancy English hat can be seen first hand as copy and paste from foreign companies.... Envision all the responsibilities for each position in clear terms -

But how you should access a candidate... I'm not sure sha.. But don't hire anyone who thinks THEY'RE TOO GOOD for your business.

Don't mind me. I am just eager and open to learn more, inclusive of the input.

About interviewing processes

Who cleans the office??

Cleaners oo. Cleaners.

You can give one of the cleaners a spare office key as they are usually the first to get there.

If he can’t pay a cleaner, he should cut cost and employ one. How can you be advising him to have his staff clean the office? Like you expected me to leave my house, get to the office and start sweeping and dusting everything before I start the days job proper??

Would this particular function be part of the job advert??

Una dn see job seekers finish.

Question

You name mentioned of sharing a spare key in other quoted comment. What is the deal, to keep safe?

You should use cleaners from a company. That is what most banks use. If anything goes south, you can hold the cleaning company responsible. It maybe more expensive, but you’d have peace of mind. Alternatively, you can employ someone you can vouch for.

For the key, cleaners are usually the first people to get to the offfice. They are suppose to clean up before the start of office hours.

If you have millions of Naira worth of properties, you should get them insured.

Thanks for your contribution. It's perfectly said and I really appreciate every single words. I'll look into the insurance and check also if there is any company around here offering cleaning service else I will try to find someone directly for this task.

THIS IS THE HOURS THAT YOU SHOULD NOT MISS EVER IN CRYPTO TRADING AND HOW YOU CAN MAKE MEGA MILLIONS FROM IT.

*Read slowly and try to internalize*

You see, bull market valuations always seem crazy in a bear market,

"No way $Bleep coin can reach that price! Lol"

In 2021 bull market..

$KDA went from $0.31 to $28.. A 9,000% pump in 100 days

$SOL saw a 50,000% pump from $0.50 to $263 at its height

$AXS went one better.. by moving 132,000%! A move from $0.12 to $164

The 2017 bull market saw some insane moves too..

$NEO pumped from $4.60 to $200 and rose 4,200%

In just a few months, $ADA posted a 6,700% gain from 1 cent to $1.30

But possibly the craziest move of all time came from $XVG..

At the beginning of 2017, $XVG was valued at $0.000019.. by the end of the year, it had pumped to $0.30 per coin

That's a move of 1,582,000%.. in 12 months!

So what does all this mean?

Well, if you haven't had the opportunity to experience a fully fledged #crypto bull market.. then it may be hard to understand the insanity it can present.

The tide lifts all boats and there is usually an abundance of liquidity floating around which finds its way on to the ships of nearly every project,

This moves can be drastic and frankly mind-blowing..

I don't want to bore you with the insane growth of Shiba Inu which did over 46000000%. Just $5  invested in Shiba Inu would have made you a millionaire! S&P 500 described it as the greatest investment in human history.

Which is why I am a firm believer of stocking up before the bull cycle arrives on strong fundamental projects.. in preparation for that future insanity,

So when you see veterans giving out crazy price predictions on certain projects..

Yes, they may be uneducated moonboys..

Or.. they may have just seen it all before and know what to expect.

This indeed is most interesting time to be alive!
