Listing: Social Media Management

At just 16 years old, Rebecca has already achieved what many adults take years to figure out. Since joining MyPocketSkill just over a year ago, she’s completed nearly 30 bookings, earned over £2,200, and built a strong profile as a trusted Social Media Manager – all while still in school!

Rebecca’s worked with a wide range of clients – from beauticians and travel planners to charities – and learns something new with every task.

“I’ve never had a booking where I didn’t learn something – whether it’s a social media tip or a fact about something completely new.”

Growing Confidence, One Call at a Time

“When I first started using MyPocketSkill, I used to get really anxious talking to new clients over Zoom. I’d get nervous and sometimes forget what to say. BBut now, after doing it a lot. more, I’ve realised it’s not as scary as I thought! It’s helped me feel more confident speaking face-to-face with people I’ve never met before.”

And it’s obviously working. Rebecca has received some brilliant reviews from the small businesses she has been working with including Rheema who recently said “Rebecca is great to work with. It’s only been a few days since I made initial contact, she understood the brief, carried out the task and achieved results straight away. I have since booked a subscription with Rebecca and look forward to further working together."

Smart with Money – and Goals

Like many teens, Rebecca used to spend her money as soon as she earned it. But MyPocketSkill has helped her build better habits: “I’ve started setting small savings goals - like buying a new pair of shoes or a phone. Right now, I’m working towards buying a new laptop for sixth form. It feels great to earn it myself!”

Advice from a Young Pro

Rebecca might be just 16, but she already has some powerful advice for her peers: “You’re better than you think! Be confident in your creative and communication skills – don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. MyPocketSkill is a great place to start.”
