Freelance Social Media Pays Off!
Today, many companies are looking for ways to elevate their presence and get their name out there. You can make a good income doing social media tasks for clients. This can include running social sites like Twitter, Facebook, Myspace and others, social book marking, blog posting, article marketing and more.
Finding these jobs is easier than you think Craigslist, freelance sites and internet marketing forums are a great place to start. In my case one of my clients read an article I had written for one of my sites and contacted me. I worked up a proposal of ways I could drive traffic to their site. I currently earn a substantial amount each month (4 figures) doing social media for the company. In other cases I have found clients on internet marketing forums and at other sites.
If you want to do social media for a company you should have a good feel for running a social site (be familiar with the TOS), know SEO basics, understand article marketing, be able to locate and post on blogs, have a basic understanding of html to add links to posts and more. You should be able to share with the client methods you can use to drive traffic to their site and how you will provide value to them.
Consider charging at least half of the agreed upon fee upfront. I always charge the full fee in advance.
