Fractional Social Media Management

Social media management without the time sink

Keeping up with content calendars, captions, scheduling, and comment moderation can consume 10 to 15 hours a week, time most business owners don't have. Across 346 logged time entries, Nacho specialists handle the execution so you stay visible without staying buried. You set the direction; your specialist handles the day-to-day.

Can I delegate social media management to a Virtual Assistant?

Yes. Nacho matches you with a vetted, 100% US-based Specialist who owns your social media management every week, not a one-off task. Onboarding starts with a $300 Delegation Strategy Plan, your Talent Budget starts at $1,000 a month, and matching takes about a week.

What we handle

What your Specialist takes over

Recurring work your US-based Specialist owns from week one. No vague promises.

Content Calendar Planning

Your EA builds and maintains a monthly content calendar in tools like Notion or Trello, mapping posts to your campaigns, promotions, and key dates so nothing falls through the cracks.

Post Scheduling and Publishing

Using platforms like Buffer, Hootsuite, or Later, your EA schedules approved content across channels at optimal times, keeping your feed active without requiring your daily attention.

Caption Writing and Hashtag Research

Your EA drafts on-brand captions and researches relevant hashtags for each platform, reducing the back-and-forth of writing from scratch and improving organic reach.

Community Engagement and Comment Monitoring

Your EA monitors comments, DMs, and mentions across platforms, responding to routine inquiries and flagging anything that needs your direct input, so your audience feels heard without consuming your time.

Basic Graphic Coordination in Canva

Your EA creates or resizes social graphics using your brand templates in Canva, ensuring visual consistency across posts without requiring a dedicated designer for every asset.

Performance Reporting

Your EA pulls monthly analytics from native platform dashboards or tools like Sprout Social, compiling reach, engagement, and follower data into a concise report so you can make informed decisions.

How it works

How the handoff works

After onboarding, your dedicated Client Success Manager works with you to build a Delegation Strategy Plan that documents your brand voice, posting frequency, target platforms, and approval preferences before your EA touches anything. In the first week, your EA typically audits your existing accounts, gets access to your scheduling tool, and drafts the first batch of content for your review. Most clients settle into a rhythm of weekly or biweekly content approvals via a shared doc or Slack, with the EA handling everything in between. The goal is a handoff that feels low-maintenance from day one, not a new management task.

The model

What delegating to Nacho actually looks like

This is ongoing delegation to one vetted, US-based person, not a task posted to a marketplace.

  1. Start with a Delegation Strategy Plan

    A one-time $300 onboarding fee pairs you with a Client Success Manager who maps what to hand off first. See the full process.

  2. Get matched in about a week

    We match you with a vetted, 100% US-based Specialist in your time zone. If the fit is not right, the Nacho Guarantee re-matches you free.

  3. Set a monthly Talent Budget

    Budgets start at $1,000 a month and draw across Executive Assistants from $40/hr, Specialists from $65/hr, and Fractional Executives from $125/hr. Up to $200 of unused budget rolls over each month. For marketing-led work, that senior seat is usually a Fractional CMO. See pricing in detail.

  4. Three months, then month to month

    The initial term is three months so the working relationship has time to compound, then it rolls month to month. Book a discovery call to size yours.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions

Will the EA post directly to my accounts, or do I need to approve everything first?
That depends entirely on your preference, and it's something you'll define during onboarding. Some clients give their EA direct publishing access for routine posts and only review campaign content; others prefer to approve every post before it goes live. Your Delegation Strategy Plan documents exactly where the approval gates are.
What if I need both writing and graphic design for my social content?
Nacho Specialists can handle caption writing and Canva-based graphic production using your existing brand templates. If your needs require original illustration or advanced design work outside of templates, your Client Success Manager can help you assess whether a dedicated design resource makes more sense.
How many hours per month does social media management typically require?
It varies by platform count, posting frequency, and how much engagement your accounts generate, but most clients allocating social media work to a Nacho EA use between 10 and 20 hours per month. Your Client Success Manager can help you estimate based on your specific scope before you commit.
Can an EA manage social media for multiple brands or locations?
Yes: EAs regularly manage multiple accounts under one client, which is common for franchises, agencies, and businesses with distinct product lines. You'll want to document brand voice and guidelines for each account during onboarding so the EA can work independently without constant clarification.
