Hashtab is #SMBSTL
The first panel was 'So You Want a Job in Social Media' w/ Danyelle Little (thecubiclechick.com), Annie Haarmann, Aimee Knebel, & Jenna Petroff
- Social Media is not a 9-5 job, it happens all the time and insomnia is a regular issue.
- Lots of research time & responding to customers at all hours
- Know your audience (the company and the customer)
- If you don't know Twitter, Facebook, blogs, etc on a personally, then get started now before you go looking for a job. But just because you 'watch', doesn't mean you know what you are doing. You need to be interacting, because that is what SM is.
- @bellebeandog put it well "Your online profiles are your resume"
- Other's may think you just have fun all day, but it is work.
- @YelpStLouis Dad thinks she tweets all day long for work
- Where do you find the Social Media job?
- They won't call it Social Media, it will be PR or graphic design
- It comes back to who you know
- Ask to talk to someone you know for just information
- Having a background in PR, Marketing, Event Planning, Communications is a Plus
- Don't be afraid to create the job you want
- DON'T DO - Definitely don't drink and tweet!
- Use different clients when you tweet personal and business.
- WAIT, take a minute, before you fire back at someone attacking you/your brand in social media. Calm down first
- You can never delete something on the internet.
- @bellebeandog: You might delete a tweet but the history stays. Be careful of your personal brand n reputation.
- Be sure to look at WHERE you are seeing your return. Is it Facebook, Email, Twitter, other
- Respond to critics and advocates, but be sure it's not the constant complainers.
