I've been asked to create a Youtube channel for someone, and manage it. This person is, from what I gather, a manager or manager type person for various musicians (10 or so). I don't yet know what kind of music, but I'm guessing it's urban/hip hop, that kind of thing. And I don't know what scale/budget they're at. It's going to be about 3 or so videos per day.
I would create the channel on their behalf, and set up a couple of social media accounts. They would send me images to use for the channel's banner and logo, and I would name the channel, with their input.
Day to day, my tasks would simply be to :
- Upload videos as they are sent to me
- Do the SEO, thumbnails, title and description for each video
- Post a link to each video on Twitter and maybe other social media accounts
- Do SEO for the channel
- Maybe put some captions during and/or at the end of the videos
I'm not an expert an any of this, but I know enough to have grown my own Youtube channel, which is still in its early days (it's just over a year old) but it's always getting plenty of views and growing. I feel like I could handle this, as long as I'm not expected to do anything beyond my capabilities.
The above list of tasks I could handle as long as it's always kept fairly simple. My main selling point is that I can do it to some extent, whereas the potential client doesn't really know much about it. So I realize I'm fortunate to get this offer.
I'm estimating that with a couple, or maybe 3 or 4 videos per day, every day, all of this would only take me about 8-10 hours per week. In fact, a lot of it could be done very quickly and easily, especially since I'm very efficient and I work fast.
So, what should I charge? And on what basis? (retainer, or some other way?)
Sorry if I sound naive, but I kind of am.
