Manager roles, responsibilities, compensations are based on the agreements that are established.  You need to put some thought into what you're wanting them to do.  Get someone that's enthusiastic about your music, for sure.   

 

For a lot of indie musicians, you hire a manager when it's worth paying for one and/or when you can no longer handle all the responsibilities that the manager can do.  So before musicians are ready or able to hire others to help with their musical career they look at putting together a plan and setting timelines for themselves.  Much of the Marketing and Promotion to be considered, are dependent on what you want and what effort you can put into the more business side of music. Items that you could consider are those such as artist bios and images, social networking accounts, website, demos or music available to public in stores, streaming, YouTube, Soundcloud, etc.

Yes, it's really tough being able to fit it all in. Promo definitely needs a plan. It takes time for most of the steps, such as building and maintaining a fanbase. It's good to get started ahead of time, so you will be prepared for a release.

Not normally a management role. A manager ...manages including handling negotiations and putting others with their own key competencies in place. Promotions tend to be designed by a music promotor working with a PR agency (unless you are signed to a larger record label using in-house music promoters) and implemented by them or people working under their supervision/direction (Such as street teams and online street teams). Music promotors also work for and with venues in a fairly different role. Managers tend to be paid by percentage (normally 15% - 25%) while PR tend to get flat rates, and they are not cheap. Even a simple automated PR task such as press release distribution is likely to cost you $150-$450 depending on the size and quality of the distribution list, and that is likely to have you writing the the press release. The kind of PR you get for sub $100 From fiverr really isn’t worth the money. Anything that actually involves someone work is much more expensive. A proper but short social media campaign might cost $2000 to $4000. An ongoing one is likely to be $1500 - $2500 pcm. Some PR companies can have low cost one of for $800 - $1200.

 

The staff media company is looking at what they could do in this arena, but things are still being set up.
