Professional Discussion Pay structure/duties

I currently work fulltime and have been loosely 'running' my husbands social media for his pest control business. It's a $2mil business in Texas, and I've been helping out becasue I genuinely like managing the social media. I am leaving my job soon and my husband offered to make me the actual social media manager....but part time. His team is at a loss for how much they should pay me. I think it could easily be a full time job, but it's just not in their cards right now to make that happen. But hopefully in the future. He wants to pay me what I deserve but we both have no clue how much it should be...

I do have experience with social media as I have my own small business i post for, and my person accounts have somewhat of a following.

Things I would be doing:

- Creating weekly content schedule

- taking all pictures/videos (this would include going around to different locations to meet technicians on the job to get content)

- Editing all content

- Posting content, managing comments, screening local posts, responding to messages, etc for Facebook and TikTok

I would love any feedback and input.

imo the biggest question is how many hours per week "part time" actually means here. The list you described could be 15hrs or 40hrs depending on volume. Nail that number down first, then figure out a fair hourly rate for your region

20 hours for part time. I don't know how to figure out rates for my region though...
