Whether you are a big business or small and medium business owner, it is not possible to do everything, including social media promotion and marketing. Therefore, you need to hire a social media manager.

Social Media Manager’s job is to maintain your social pages by updating the pages frequently (posting regularly), interacting with the customers, and creating posts for social media (promotional posts, memes, infographics, videos, images, graphics, quizzes, polls, etc.).

Social Media Manager should have copywriting and graphic designing skills. He should also have knowledge of the social platform.

While looking for Social Media Manager, you need to check the following abilities and behaviors:

Can create memes, templates, calendars

Scans newspapers and magazines seeking ideas

Does research on trending hashtags and makes use of these hashtags on his posts

In my experience, it's easier to search through the use of word of mouth. My friends have never been let down by this method.

A social media manager is someone who works for a company and is responsible for making strategic plans, monitoring, screening, executing, editing, and developing content plans on social media, also often communicating with followers on social media. A social media manager must be able to read news and developments or new trends in the market. Because the task is heavy, then a social media manager must have at least a bachelor's degree in marketing. Because a social media manager may not be able to work alone and he will be assisted by several social media specialists such as content managers, event managers and graphic designers. So I think the best way to find or recruit a social media manager should be from the company's internal division of a specialist social manager. If it is not available, you can do recruitment from external by placing advertisements.

If you’re like most business owners, you don’t have the time to manage your own social media accounts. That’s where hiring a social media manager comes in. But how do you find the right person for the job?


The first step is to create a job description. Be very specific about what you’re looking for and what kind of experience the ideal candidate would have. Next, post the job description on job boards and social media sites.


Then, start screening candidates. Look for people who have a good understanding of your industry and who are active on social media. Also, be sure to ask candidates for examples of their work.


Finally, interview candidates and select the one that’s the best fit for your business. This person should be able to develop and execute a social media strategy that will help you reach your goals.
