GET A CAREER IN SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
You can make very good income in social media by one of two methods:
- Market Your Own Business to large number of targeted prospects
- Help Businesses Manage their Social Media Campaigns and reach wider audience
Social Media Marketing has been a growth area for business spending, despite the global economic downturn. Good news is that spending on social media is forecast to expand substantially and progressively in the next years as many more businesses embrace social media as their marketing medium.
According to the Marketing Executives Networking Group (a non-profit professional association) survey of high ranking marketers, "over 70% of companies and organizations are planning NEW social media initiatives". Majority of them said they will carry out the initiatives 'internally'; meaning that they will need to hire social media marketers.
Even those organizations that want to do social media marketing externally will still need the services of social media savvy marketers. Do you know the meaning of this? It means jobs in this industry will continue to grow as more businesses adopt the social media marketing strategy. More importantly, even those who have opted to look internally will soon realize that internal talents may not be adequate for their needs; resulting in increased demand for social media marketers.
Currently, freelance social media marketers dictate their pays (which is usually on the high side) while even the 'internal talents' go home with fat pays. Increasingly, companies are searching for people who have good mastery of the world of social media. For anyone who wants to build a career in social media, the first step is to get properly involved: get a blog if you don't already have one or optimize if you have. Then learn the ropes!
If you use Facebook correctly, get good Twitter following and you will convince companies that you can generate positive results for them. After all, if you can't market yourself or your brand, how can you expect any company to take you serious? You need the practical and effective social media knowledge.
