Hello, Welcome back to my blog, and thanks for reading my blog post! If you wanna be a social media manager with no experience so you come to the right place! You can do this job from anywhere that has an internet connection and you can have clients from all around the world.
What is Social Media Management?
It’s the process of creating, publishing, and analyzing content you post on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter; also, finding effective strategies to engage the audience.
What you need to do:
- You need to educate yourself; It doesn’t necessary to go to a formal college but you need to learn about how to communicate, writing strategies that you can find online on Lynda(I told you before how you can watch Lynda for free), HubSpot Academy free courses, Facebook blueprint course which is free(about Facebook Ads) or YouTube and search about digital marketing. One of the most important things is to learn to understand analytics to measure the success of what you are doing. Always try to keep your knowledge update about tools and apps.
- Build your online portfolio; when a company interviews you for this position you need to have a portfolio to show your previous jobs. All you need to do is hiring a web developer or creating by yourself; you can use WordPress, Wix, …. to create your own portfolio easily.
- Follow the companies that you admire in order to learn how they manage their social media and pay attention to their posts, hashtags, …
Some Tips that good to consider:
- Check your spelling and grammar; my suggestion is to use Grammarly
- Find the best time to post your content and get the most engagement there are many tools you can use like Later
- Have a good relationship with your followers and respond to their comments appropriately
How to find a client?
First, you need to start with one of your friends or family member who has a business or even your personal profile and try to get good results; cause it’ll help you to get your next project. You can also manage non-profit organization social media profiles as a volunteer.
How can you manage many clients at the same time!
I know this is definitely hard to post on social media for different clients and respond to all comments, analyze the engagement. I know a tool that helps you a lot to schedule the posts and organize everything like you have a team for managing your clients, that’s Later. It’s easy to use and has flexible plans like the basic plan is free to use, it has some tools to help you build a phenomenal feed.
