Top Job Thursday

Top 10 In-Demand Social Media Jobs & Services

1. Social Strategist

Social strategists are generally social media specialists who are in charge of creating the “big picture” behind an organization’s overall social media communications. They decide which social media outlets will be pursued, how much money can be dedicated to social marketing campaigns and design the framework from which an organization will pursue social media from an internal perspective.

2. Community Manager

Community managers are social media specialists that focus their time and attention on the maintenance of the friends and fans that an organization has accumulated. This could include major tasks like developing new polls, comments, surveys and discussions or relatively minor considerations like moderating comments and approving new posts. The greater the membership or subscriber base is, the more time and effort this will take.

3. Social Media Analytics

One of the most difficult aspects of monetizing social media stems from the fact that it can be difficult to measure the impact and results that originate from a specific campaign. Recently, there have been a number of innovative tools and programs that have been introduced into the social media sphere that empower the organization at the helm to track every user, evaluate which poll questions get the best results and ultimately how many of the social media network members are making the conversion to hot prospects or customers.

4. Social Media Design Specialist

Things look different on social media website than they do on a personally branded website. Because of this, special design skills and insights are necessary to insure that a business is able to keep their brand messaging and imaging cohesive. Add to this the fact that the design constraints vary between Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+ and you can easily translate building social media integrated experiences into a full-time job.

5. Social Media Developer

Social media developers are chiefly in control of deciding which features and add-ons are incorporated into the overall marketing strategy. Additionally, it is the social media developers job to insure that from a user-experience point of view, all sites link and integrate well together for a seamless transition from your blog to your website to your Twitter feed and Facebook fan page. Developers will often work in conjunction with a design specialist team, so having both of these skills can give you distinct edge in the marketplace.

6. Content Programmer

Businesses that are serious about maximizing the value of social media don’t approach content creation haphazardly. Just like many newspapers and magazines, savvy social media players are creating editorial calendars that allow them to build up the content that will be distributed both internally and externally. Writers with a strong background in project management and social media can translate these skills into a lucrative career.

7. Social Influencer Relations

All fans and followers are NOT created equal. As a matter of fact, there will be certain members in every following who qualify as “social influencers”. These individuals generally have a massive following in the social media sphere or are well-known and established bloggers. Businesses that want to use these highly influential voices to their greatest advantage take time to court them and curry favor. Social media experts with any type of public relations backgrounds can turn this into a highly specialized service and build an impressive personal and professional network along the way.

8. Social Reputation Management

Unless a business’s social media profiles are set up so that comments and interactions are submitted for approval before posting, disgruntled or mischievous posters can use their own walls and profiles against them. Just think about what can be said about businesses or organizations on other people’s profiles, blogs or websites. If you are a Boolean buff or have incredible Internet research skills and know the ins and outs of digging up the dirt on an organization or their company members, reputation management could spell success for your financial future.

9. Fan Finder

If you possess stellar list building techniques and strategies it won’t be hard to market yourself as a Fan Finder. The typical small business owner hardly has the time to invite friends and deliberately grow their followers. Some of them barely have time to sit down and eat lunch! While there are few jobs on the market as a Friend Finder, it is a potentially lucrative service you can offer as a self-employed pro.

10. Social Bookmarking Specialist
This is another service versus “job”. Social bookmarking is incredibly popular. One of the most popular social bookmarking hubs out there is StumbleUpon. However, there are hundreds of others available. A quick visit to the following website http://bluesearchmarketing.com/social-bookmarking-sites-list/ will show that there are dozens upon dozens of them out there. Even if you just picked the top ten or fifteen, you could easily offer this service as a freebie to draw in new business into one of the other social media services on your menu.

Witty Wednesday

Top 10 Funniest Viral Twitter #Hashtags

Twitter hashtags are a great way to organize tweets for common subjects or events, but people also use them as a way to connect to others over a good laugh. Once the twitterverse starts putting in their two cents, you get crowd-sourced, viral comedy. We’ve gathered what we think are the top ten funniest viral hashtags that we’re sure will have you giggling at your desk.

#MomQuotes
This hashtag was created by Jimmy Fallon for his “Late Night Hashtag” @LateNightJimmy bit on his show. Everything a typical mom would say categorized into one great hashtag.

Example By @smashly:
‘Go early to get it. These are really, really popular hams.’ #momquotes

#LessAmbitiousMovies
Think of a movie- then change its title to something less ambitious. It’s a fun little game to play with a group of friends as well.

Example By @LeenaRao:
The Goddaughter #lessambitiousmovies

#TwoThingsThatDontMix
It’s simple- what two things just don’t work well together?

Example By @_KZA:
“rapper names and Autocorrect #twothingsthatdontmix”

#ThreeWordsToLiveBy
Words of wisdom in three little words.

Example By @edlynskey:
#threewordstoliveby Brew More Coffee

#TigerBlood
Charlie Sheen started this trend and since then it’s just blown up on Twitter. We’re not 100% sure what it means, but it has something to do with being awesome.

Example By @jakmartin881h:
Freezing at the bus stop. Good thing I got #tigerblood

#DisneyPickUpLines
Would anyone ever actually use these lines? Maybe if you were trying to hook up with someone at Disneyworld. Many of them were much dirtier than this example, I think you can imagine.

Example By @itsphillybaby:
Baby I can take you to infinity and beyond!! #disneypickuplines

#GenericTweet
Simply pokes fun at those who tweet about nothing special (we’ve all done a boring generic tweet without realizing it.)

Example By @TylerMcDonald:
Pretty excited that the weekend is here. #generictweet

#UnlikelySequel
Movies that would have probably flopped if given these titles.

Example By @frankfx:
#unlikelysequels When Harry Killed Sally

#SoEmbarrassing
People sharing their embarrassing stories in less then 140 characters are always fun.

Example By @abaker20:
at a family christmas party saying goodbye kissing all my aunts then acciedntly kissing my uncle on the lips #soembarrassing

#WorstJobIEverHad
Haven’t we all had that one job that makes you stop and wonder where your life is going? Another great hashtag created by Jimmy Fallon @LateNightJimmy.

Example By @april_430:
My bosses bought a crate of 8×14 paper instead of 8×11. Instead of exchanging it, they made me cut 3 inches off each one!! #worstjobieverhad

Tip Tuesday

Social Networking at Work - Some Dos and Don'ts

How to Use Social Media Without Getting Yourself or Your Company in Trouble

Some companies encourage their employees to make use of social networking tools like blogs, Facebook, and Twitter. They realize that if done within some intelligent guidelines, it can help build brand recognition, improve the flow of information between companies and their consumers, and hopefully, increase customer loyalty.
Others discourage or outright forbid their employees from engaging in online socializing. They realize that such activities, when not conducted with some care, can be a huge leak of sensitive and confidential information. In fact, a recent survey by ProofPoint has shown that 7% of companies have terminated employees for social networking site policy violations, 11% for blog posting violations, and 52% are "highly concerned" about the risk of information leakage through services like Twitter.
Let's face it, social networking is a fun way to stay in touch with friends and family,to share ideas with like-minded individuals, and to share information with clients and business contacts. It can also be a time-waster and a drain on productivity. None of this is news to company managers, so, the first rule is to

Know Your Company's Policy Regarding Social Networking at Work
Check your online employee portal if you have one, or review your printed employee handbook. If neither of these are available, ask your manager to point you in the right direction. No matter what you might read here or anywhere else, it is imperative to comply with your company policy, or you risk disciplinary action, termination, even a law suit. That's right, employees who knowingly or through negligence reveal confidential information can be held liable for subsequent financial losses suffered by the company.
Keep in mind that there is a difference between social networking about work and social networking at work. The policy may allow you to participate, but not during your normal working hours. Unless of course, corporate communications is part of your job description.
With that first rule firmly ingrained, here are a few other tips to keep in mind. Some or all of them mirror many company policies.

Do

• Be sure of all information you post. If you are stating something as fact, make sure it is a fact, not opinion or wishful thinking. Citing references or sources is a big plus.
• Clearly state that your opinions and viewpoints are yours, and do not represent the stance of your employer.
• Engage in intelligent dialog with others. Find out who else is blogging about the topics that interest you. Comment on their posts and link to their blogs. You'll help build your network of resources and your online credibility.
• Consider potential conflict of interest repercussions. If you "friend-request" a business contact, will that put either of you in an awkward or compromising position?
• Watch your spelling and grammar. "Leet-speak" may be cool with your friends, but avoid it if you want to build a professional online persona.
• Review what you're saying before clicking Submit. It is not only a reflection on you, but on your company as well, even if you do publish a disclaimer.
• Remember that what you post may well last forever. It is virtually impossible to remove something once it has been posted on the Internet.

Don't

• Give away company secrets. A good rule of thumb is, if it isn't published in a press release or on an official company website, then don't reveal it. Someone else leaking confidential information on their site doesn't give you permission to discuss what you know about it.
• Engage in name-calling, or post inflammatory remarks. Stating informed, conflicting opinions is fine, posting emotional diatribes is not.
• Share personal information about your co-workers. Identity theft and social engineering are prevalent enough, don't contribute to the problems

Here's one more 'do' for you - have fun with it. Even though these rules of thumb may seem encumbering or limiting, there is still plenty of latitude to let your personality and sense of humor pervade your social media contributions. That, a little common sense, and adherence to company policy is all it takes to build your on-line presence and strengthen your ties to your industry.
