DIY OR DELEGATE?
Compare the workload before you compare the price.
I will map what stays with you, what can be handed over, then compare DIY, a one-off guided route and monthly management using your own workload and your own time value.
TASK 01 OF 08
Collect real job photos and facts
Only you or your team can supply accurate site information and real project material.
Use 0.5 for about 30 minutes. A rough monthly number is enough.
TASK 02 OF 08
Decide what to post each month
Planning should not depend on remembering a topic at 9pm after a day on site.
Use 0.5 for about 30 minutes. A rough monthly number is enough.
TASK 03 OF 08
Write captions and calls to action
The business facts need to be yours. Turning them into clear content does not have to be.
Use 0.5 for about 30 minutes. A rough monthly number is enough.
TASK 04 OF 08
Create graphics and edit Reels
Production is repeatable work once the message and raw material are clear.
Use 0.5 for about 30 minutes. A rough monthly number is enough.
TASK 05 OF 08
Schedule and publish content
Publishing is admin. It should not need the owner to remember every post.
Use 0.5 for about 30 minutes. A rough monthly number is enough.
TASK 06 OF 08
Keep service and profile details current
You provide accurate business changes. Routine updates can be handled.
Use 0.5 for about 30 minutes. A rough monthly number is enough.
TASK 07 OF 08
Handle comments, messages and review follow-up
Some replies need your technical or sales input. Routine triage does not always need you.
Use 0.5 for about 30 minutes. A rough monthly number is enough.
TASK 08 OF 08
Check what is working and change the plan
Reporting should lead to decisions, not another spreadsheet nobody looks at.
Use 0.5 for about 30 minutes. A rough monthly number is enough.
THE REAL BOTTLENECK
What is the bigger problem right now?
YOUR TIME VALUE
For comparison only, what value would you put on one hour of your working time?
This does not need to be your charge-out rate. Use a figure that feels reasonable for comparing your time with the cost of handing work over.
CURRENT CASH COST
Do you currently pay for social media tools or outside help?
Include only costs you genuinely pay now, such as scheduling, design or editing tools. Enter £0 if there are none.
DONE FOR YOU COMPARISON
Which management level would you like to compare?
This compares your current task workload with the selected package fee. Higher packages also include more volume or support, which this calculator does not try to price separately.
YOUR PERSONALISED COMPARISON
Where should I send the PDF?
I will show your workload, the three routes and the comparison figures based only on the numbers you entered.
This is a workload comparison, not a savings promise.
The tool uses the hours and optional hourly value you enter. It shows how much of your current workload sits inside the route you compare. It does not predict revenue, profit, enquiries or money saved.
If DIY still looks sensible, keep it. If direction is the gap, use the Guided route. If repeatable production is sitting with you, compare it properly with management.
