Social Media Specialist career 10 points!!!? - Amber - 03-06-2014 07:17 PM
How does one go about becoming a social media specialist. Is it a growing or declining field.. what are the skills that are essential to have in this career. Thanks!

Hi, I am a Social Media Specialist and I see this to be a growing career field, already I receive google alerts with 6 jobs per day ranging from $55,0000 in income above, I believe there is no formal training, and I have put together a program that will allow a certificate in Social Media Specialist. This will give candidates a step ahead of others.. I believe that the skills are beyond the title, skillsets like wordpress, blogging, market analysis, strategy sessions, adds, creative, being able to use photoshop, creating images etc are just a few not to mention, customer service, understanding what each of the social media platforms offer.. my program will be available in about 3 weeks and I will be offering all this plus for those that are interested in creating a business, a wordpress site, blogging tools, my swipe files for my workshops and their own mobile application to promote their business.. If this is something that you would like to look at, please feel free to email me leanne.peard@mel.com I hope this helps....
