OUR TEAM STRUCTURE

5 SPECIALISTS EVERY  DIGITAL TEAM NEEDS

1. Content creator High-quality content is at the heart of your business. Its likely that this is what you love working on yourself, but dont be  afraid to get support through other content creators when the situation calls for it (e.g. a photographer).

2. Sales person or accountant  Your community wont be a business without money - bring someone on board who is good with it.

3. Lawyer or paralegal  The more paid projects you work on, the more contracts youll have to sign. Get help from a professional to keep everything under control.

4. Graphic designer The perfect team member to make sure your brand look is consistent across all platforms.

5. Copywriter or editor Great writing can make the difference between proposals that are rejected and proposals that are accepted.

Trade services with other creatives.

Buy presets of the instagram photographer youd love to work with.

Dont worry if you dont have the money for all those people. Do what you can with what you have! For example:
