Based on this, you can also focus on the right social media channel to reach your target better.

A picture tells a thousand words. And with the low attention span of customers, you pretty well deliver paragraphs in a few seconds, figuratively. That’s why you should also know basic graphic design principles.

You may not be the one creating the images. But you should have an idea of what can be possible for your target audience. In this way, you can maximize every image for more exposure.

 

Basic Copywriting

Having great images doesn’t mean words should be left out. Copywriting is also essential for every post. What’s your intention for a posting?

Every social media platform has an algorithm. And your page performance and relevance will ultimately push you more to your target’s feed. But how do you do that?

You should understand the concepts of search engine optimization or SEO. Basically, these are practices that optimize your pages to rank better on search engines. And today, social media platforms behave similarly.

By applying these concepts, you can rank better on your social media and your own websites as well.

 

Technical Skills

Social media channels have tools to further reach your audience. And a lot of business owners find it intimidating to use. That’s why you should also have the technical skills to create ads for your client’s respective social media. Out of all the options, which of the following are perfect for their goals and cost-effective as well?

And after the ad creation, do you know how to track the posts with links like FB pixels or UTM codes? Some even go in-depth with “social listening applications” that track consumer behavior on the internet.

Not every social media manager knows this. And you will set yourself apart if you master the technicals.

 

Collaboration Skills
