Social Media Marketing: How does my startup hire an affordable marketing expert?
Michael Von Irvin MBA BSN RN, Business & Marketing Success Consultant & Coach answered:

Simple answer - Don't think in terms of $10/hour. You will never get anybody even remotely good for that amount. However, think of it in terms as a monthly fee of $2500 or a one-time fee of $25000 to a marketing expert. You can hire someone for the whole project or for a high monthly fee with just a few hours a month. You will get real value this way.

I hope this helps.
Best of Luck,
Mike
PS I may assist you as my time permits. Right now I am doing something that I haven't done for many years. I am actively soliciting new select clients due to selling one of my businesses and freeing myself up a little. But as you might expect, I am still very busy. That is how I like it.
