I see myself as a Social Media Strategist. What gives me the right to claim that title? Every hour of every day, I find myself utilizing a social media network to access and input information. The title comes from my own personal experience day-in and day-out on multiple social networking websites. What separates me from your average social network user is that I educate myself thoroughly with every aspect of these websites to better position myself to incite more activity from other users. Whether it is from interacting with others on the web or attracting users to me, I am constantly looking to stay active on social media networks to sustain relationships with individuals connected to me.
Social Media is NOT a fad.
Having an individual like me with the knowledge and capability of using multiple social media outlets is incredibly useful to a business. A social networking site such as a Facebook Fan Page or a Twitter account requires meticulous management and care. Because using a social networking site can help develop strong relationships with customers, businesses need individuals that can specialize in parlaying information back and forth with customers in these relaxed environments.
Using social media is not as simple as updating a status or posting a bulletin. This is where my strategic skills come into play. It is crucial to know what actions specific to each respective social media outlet provokes the most activity from customers. In maximizing the activity of your customers with your social networking accounts, it raises the probability of gaining another customer.
