How to become a Social Media Specialist without experience!

Social media can increase advertising for your business.

I started to take a course on how to be a social media specialist, and i was taking it off Coursera. I was tired of paying $65.00 per month to access the material from Coursera. The course material was useful, but I already knew most of it. I felt I could research what I didn’t know. Companies are looking for people who will create an online presence to promote their businesses or services. If you have a Facebook account, you probably have experience posting content to Facebook. Being a Social Media Specialist is a not difficult job. The hardest part about this job is knowing when to post content on social media to engage with the right kind of audience. There are so many social media platforms out there knowing which one to use is a tricky question. In a blog called “How to market your Content!” where I gave advice about when you should post your content. If you have experience in marketing or communications that would be good to become a Social Media Specialist.

What is a social media specialist?

A social media specialist is someone who creates content for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. You are responsible for creating an online presence on social media. You might create content for promoting your organization or the individual you are working for. You may be developing content to raise awareness for your brand. You can use LinkedIn to promote yourself as a Social Media specialist. You may be responding to people’s comments about the product or the service. If you have photo or video editing skills that would be valuable to this position!

You can do anything if you put your mind to it! You can follow me on Twitter!
