Social Media Job Opps – The Demand Is Enormous!

There are literally 1000s of social media job opportunities out there… with the list growing larger every day. There are many more companies who NEED expert help than there are folks who have the needed skills. Currently this is causing a true mania… companies realizing that Yellow Pages are dead, newspapers are dead, and truly… most traditional forms of advertising and marketing are either dead, or almost there. And WHERE to put the advertising budget? Companies are now seeing that social media is the answer. Those lucky enough to have a talented worker already aboard… are the minority.

Here, I am listing just a few of the Web sites that I regularly check. The positions are seemingly “to die for,” with descriptions that will make anyone involved in social media, begin to salivate! Here is a great starting point to see who, out there, is open to … the freelancer. The virtual worker with their own business. THAT is what I recommend. You don’t want to be caught up in the old “J. O. B.” syndrome, most likely. Well, arrgh…. maybe you do! At any rate, here are a few places to check out!

Social CRM* Needed To Make Sense of Consumer Data.

Social data is overwhelming. More customers, buyers, and consumers are creating content everywhere they go. Companies cannot scale to match this in a 1:1 basis, and most companies are in early phases of the 8 Stages of Listening. Earlier this year, I made clear investments in researching the Social CRM space and Mobile+Social space (report forthcoming), it’s clear that Social CRM is starting to get wind under it’s wings, and mobile/social is certainly happening at consumer level. So what do I see happening next? Two trends, social analytics intelligence, and social business value networks… [More...]

“Who else wants to dominate their market & have a huge Social Media presence without wasting hours of their own precious time each day?”

“Our services are perfect for busy executives, small business owners, and sales people who know that they need to establish an effective, growing, online presence to remain viable and increase their bottom line in the future! Partnering with us is a great choice for people who no longer want to scrape and scrap to get by with old, outdated methods (Yellow Pages, Print, TV, Radio, Cold Calling, etc.) that are losing effectiveness more and more each day!

“Our services are perfect for people who want to dominate their market! There is no doubt… if you want to excel in the future you need a social media presence. Pepsi, for example, pulled all Super Bowl advertising last year and invested that money into Social Media. That’s just the tip of the iceberg!” [More...]

“While jobs are disappearing, literally to never return, new and never before heard of jobs sprout-up as a result of world wide web social media…

“Lo and behold, the job market has a need for a new breed of knowledge. A job that can be done part time and most importantly: from your home office.

“The sheer explosion of social media from Facebook business, to Twitter business and FourSquare, Ning and LinkedIn has been coming down the pipeline at such a speed that most small and medium sized businesses are ‘caught by surprise’ as a total new job market segment has been created simply forced out of need to stay ahead of the business curve…

Social Media Wild Growth

“What tools to chose? Which networks to follow? How much time is needed to maintain the social media status? How to push the products and services in the social marketplace? All good questions and this is where the Social Media Manager Job description and thus services come into play…

So How Serious Is A Social Media Manager’s Job?

“As a result of …ignorance or being afraid of this global phenomenon, many business owners are hiding behind the “I’m too old to learn” and simply ignore that their customers are no longer reading newspapers or magazines, do not watch TV nor listen to the Radio but instead spend their time on a laptop.

“If they would then they would know that their customers read blogs, read newspapers online, watch TV via youTube, Vimeo, Hulu and Dailymotion, search the gossip sites for the latest on stars and starlets, play a game here or there, do some Google or Bing searching on their hobbies, roam the online radio stations … and interact with family, friends, colleagues and engage with complete strangers via Facebook, Twitter and other niche market social outlets. Let’s face it, your customers and potential customers are online. But don’t believe me. Just be aware of the 500 million Facebook users.

“Until the next evolution of the internet is kicking into high gear and you don’t “have the time” or are “too old to learn” you’d better decide to hire a Social Media Manager, if you aspire wealth, health and visibility…” [More...]
