Introducing the Social Media Manager; possibly the most in-demand and interesting job in the world.

When HC Consulting Group first began, we never imagined having so much freedom, despite all of the hard work that goes into what we do. As time goes on, it is becoming more and more evident that working from the comfort of a home computer, laptop or SmartPhone is becoming the epitome of freedom and entrepreneurship combined. With the internet’s ever growing potential for generating massive revenue opportunities, the world wide web truly is becoming the next frontier for creating both success and freedom.

Understanding this concept is one thing, but putting it to work for you is another. Making moves and implementing some of these strategies is the first step; but commitment and following through is key.

A social media manager is a  very in demand and also a very profitable position that is a brand new job title all about helping people and businesses promote themselves using social media platforms.

It’s kind of like playing. You most likely already have a Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube account.

Most of us do, and it is a recreational activity.

The Social Media Manager service is huge and companies need it desperately.

INC magazine says that 91% of all business are using social media to promote themselves in 2010…  SimplyHired.com currently has over 18,000 job postings for a Social Media Manager and  that number is growing.

Businesses know that having a strong presence on social media sites helps them create buzz, drive traffic, get new leads, more customers, and much more…

Let’s face it, Yellow pages and newspaper is dying, radio is being replaced by satellite radio and small businesses have no way to promote themselves other than using social media platforms!

The main problem is that most people don’t know how to do it correctly.

Most business owners don’t know what to say to their customers on social media site to entice them to buy products and services.  And furthermore, business owners need to run the business and not spend time screwing around on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Twitter.

If you are business owner you definitely need to check this out to learn about the best qualities your social media manager needs to possess.

A few of the qualities a Social Media Manager needs to have are:

1. The social media manager understands technology, but also loves people. The “geek” who understands Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Youtube inside and out, but has no communication skills, is not the best person for the job.  Communication skills are the key words here…

2. The Social Media Manager needs to look at your business from potential prospect and client perspectives.

3. The Social Media Manager needs to be thoughtful, not impulsive or reactive.

4. They think and communicate strategically .  It’s all about having interaction and communication qualities of a facilitator – not an egoist.

5. Social Media Managers are team players, not a one man / woman superstar.
