JIllian, my recommendation is to go to slideshare.com and search for “social media proposal”, you’ll finds tons you can work with. Just remember to build the value on how you can impact their business vs. going through a sample work-order

I’ve done the social marketing for my employer for 3 years and have been asked by a couple of contacts if I’d consider doing some contract work on the side.

Does anyone have a sample proposal they would share?

Is there a way to actually REMOVE a line break? Wordpress seems to add a line break between my images automatically.

Great post – but this is the reality of operating in a crowded market where lots of people consider themselves as social media consultants. And if you don’t give away what you’ve got you’ll never get the contract signed. As a matter of fact lots of what you’ve got is freely available on all the blog posts, in Twitter etc. Rather sooner than later the whole social media consulting/expertise will become mainstream and will be done in-house. In the meantime keep on consulting (sometimes for free). Just like me…

I am dealing with the “free consulting” challenge as well. I am finding a niche with agencies though. I get very technical and discuss the analytics and time required to measure ROI for s a social media campaign.

My pitch has been, anyone can create and implement a social media strategy.

Finding the time to do it well and consistently requires professional support and I am a qualified professional.

You’re 100% right. I’m learning this as I go. I got invited to a holiday party to meet the staff and discuss some of my ideas. I didn’t get into too much detail, but when they told me that they were going to have their intern do this in-house, my feeling was “why am I here?” I was there for them to get as much info as they could get. I kept it basic, so the worst that happened was they got a social media primer, I got a free glass of wine and a trip to the other side of Manhattan. It could have been worse had they wanted a formal proposal.

However, in the future, I’m going to remain careful about not giving away the farm before the contract is signed.
