How to use it
- Set how many videos a month you want.
- Put in how long one video takes you and what an hour of your time is worth.
- Replace the placeholder freelancer and agency prices with real quotes.
Questions
- How much does a social media agency cost?
- It varies widely by city, scope and how much filming is included, so get two or three quotes and put them in above. Ask whether filming, editing and posting are all included.
- Is doing it yourself free?
- Only if your time is. Planning, filming, editing and posting a video takes most owners an hour or more, and those are hours not spent on the business.
- What is included in Unibasal’s price?
- The idea, the script, the video made from one photo of you, captions, and posting on schedule after you approve it.
