I’m a Public Affairs Specialist in the army national guard, and a few of my instructors at my army school (DINFOS @ ft Meade) told us that Social Media consultants are making good money at the moment. WE have youtube, facebook, etc…however, in the past decade, more corporations and small businesses have quickly realized what an asset that internet social venues can be. From what i’ve seen and heard, a dilemma for some is that not everyone, and not every corporation understands how to fully use this resource. No one has really written a how-to, a “don’t do this”, and/or a curriculum of Social Media. With this part of the media world rapidly developing, would majoring in Social Media or the closest thing to it, be a wise idea? (my current major is journalism/mass communications)
Any place where you can create and distribute your own content is what I consider a “resource.”
I use a website as my #1 resource.
Twitter and FaceBook are my resources for connecting with people in my target market.
The content I create at my website, articles I write at Squidoo and EzineArticles are my resources for creating content targeted to potential customers.
I then attract people from my target market to my content. When people find my content valuable they tend to follow my recommendations to my monetization (Money making model).
I also use Digg to bookmark my articles and also others’ content that my audience will find valuable.
Hope this helps!
I heard that you can create a twitter account where you can charge for people to follow you. This would be for information that people want a lot.
What kind of info would people, or you pay for?
