1 | How Much Can You Charge for a Platform Audit?
Platform audits help a business owner to quickly identify areas of improvement and opportunities for growth on their preferred social media platforms.
By conducting a comprehensive audit, you’ll better understand your client's needs and goals, while providing tailored recommendations that will positively impact their online presence.
Pricing for a Basic Audit (one platform) ranges from $100-$350+ USD. During a basic audit you’ll review a single platform, make observations & provide advice, feedback & suggestions based on overall best practices.
Pricing for a Premium Audit ranges from $350-$500+ USD. During a premium audit you’ll review one or more platforms, make observations & provide in-depth advice, customized feedback and suggestions based on the client’s goals, their industry, etc.
With both options there’s an opportunity to up-sell a client from the platform audit into the next "best fit" service option. This could be a content planning call, a strategy build, a VIP day, etc.
Based on the observations and next steps you uncover in the audit, you can determine what sort of follow-up support makes the most sense.

3 | How Much Can You Charge for a VIP Day?
Your VIP Day offer can be priced similarly to a monthly full service retainer package - but requires far less juggling.
By replacing some of your “done-for-you” monthly management clients with VIP Day clients, you could work less on the time-consuming daily tasks, while still earning the same – if not more - revenue each month.
This results-focused, time-saving support can cost a client anywhere from $1000 to $5,000+ USD, depending on the offer details.
If you designed a transformational VIP Day offer & priced it at $3000, you’d only need to work with 3 VIP clients per month in order to earn a six-figure revenue in your business!
