Why This Matters for Social Media Managers

You manage social media for 10 clients. Today you need to create 15 posts, respond to comments on 6 accounts, run a Facebook ad campaign, and compile a monthly analytics report for your biggest client. You switch between accounts 30 times a day — your time tracker is meaningless. Your 3pm client wants to 'hop on a quick call' about their Instagram strategy. You're already paying $40/month for Buffer and $17/month for FreshBooks — $684/year in software before you earn a dollar.

Social Media Managers face unique challenges: Tracking hours across 8-15 retainer clients posting daily. Clients expecting 24/7 availability for social media 'emergencies'. Proving ROI to justify monthly retainer fees. Already paying for scheduling tools — adding invoicing software on top is painful. On top of all that, Toggl Track charges $18/month ($216/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median social media manager earns $42,000/year. Software at $216/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Scheduling tools (Later, Buffer, Hootsuite) is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
