....Do you find it super challenging to make money from social media?
Yeah, everyone does.
There are actually many ways to make money from social media.
However, most of them require an established business before they can
work. If you have a product or service you’re selling, then you can make
use of social media to market it and get it in front of potential
people who might be interested in it.
I don’t have any existing business, how can social media make
me money?
....With the exploding demand for social media service providers, it’s
becoming a no-brainer for many people, especially who want to establish
themselves in this market to start offering their services to potential
clients. According to a study published on WantedAnalytics.com,
there have been about 13.000 social media related jobs posted on the
web in January 2012 alone. This is an 87% increase in demand comparing
to January 2011.
....For instance a social friend of mine- +Richard Branson is a multi billionaire; but nevertheless anything he puts on the world wide web still makes a buck or two- if not thousands of Dollars.
>I for one have started carving a niche for myself as a social entrepreneurs and a social speaker- I have even spoken on subjects like "Social Business" and "Social Events."

The easiest way to make money as a social media service
provider
There are actually many social media services that thousands of
thirsty clients are searching for. However, many of them require some
experience as well as education. Although services like social media consulting could land you as much
as $500 an hour (if you’re just a decent social media consultant), they
mostly require a person who have been in the field for some time. On the other side, social media management doesn’t require a lot of
education or experience as you may already have the skills to start
doing it right now.
They say that if you know how to posts status updates on Facebook and
tweets on Twitter, then you can consider yourself a social media
manager. While a part of this statement is true, there is a little more
to social media management that most people miss.
A social media manager is the person responsible for managing a
company’s social media presence. This is in the case of a fixed job. In
case you’re doing it in a freelancing basis (which is even better),
you’ll be managing your clients social presence across all the social
platforms that they intend to use like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube,
LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest…etc.

So what social media managers do?
Social media managers could have many duties that go from simple
management to strategic social media marketing planning. However, what
most of them do is:
1- Posting engaging status updates on Facebook.
2- Tweeting interesting stuff.
3- Managing Twitter inbox.
4- Replying.
5- Interacting and building audience.
6- Deleting spam.
7- Reply to comments.
8- Follow/Unfollow, Accept/Decline requests…etc
...Some of the other duties that you’ll be able to offer when you have
some more experience and which they will offer you a free pass to luxury
are:
1- Quality/Viral content creation and distribution.
2- Creating an effective social media marketing plan.
3- Doing consulting for clients.
4- Conducting contests and PPC campaigns…etc
As you’ve seen, I bet that you already know how to do most of the
tasks listed above, and that’s what makes you a potential social media
manager. The question is: would you join the bandwagon and establish
yourself in this lucrative market, or get left behind struggling with
the competition that will arise?

Social media, although a relatively recent phenomenon, is becoming an increasingly important part of any business’s marketing and client base development platform.Social Networking Marketing Experts
