Presently, I work as a Media Account Manager... I started as a Web Content Developer / Social Media Manager but have longed proved myself capable to handle bigger responsibility which saw me rose to the present position in few months.

I'll start by asking you to familiarise yourself with the working and function of each individual social media platform e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram etc.

Each platform has what works for it. They all have their unique direction, message tone, lingua, emotions etc. So you must get to understand this if you want to pull traffic and increase organic engagement on your different social platforms.

Furthermore, there are certain tools you must get acquainted to. These tools will help you execute your duties effectively and even when you are not around. Don't be scared, they are easy to learn. As a matter of fact, I learnt all on my own in a period of two days. The utilities are:
- Google analytics: helps to check the performance of your website e.g. traction (visits), engagements (comments), bounce rate etc.
- Hootsuite: helps you schedule your social media update/uploads/posts. It will upload for you when you are not around.
- Mailchimp: helps you send out Daily/Weekly/Monthly Newsletters to your fans/subscribers.
- WordPress: a website/blog interface via which uploads/contents are developed and published.

Abeg, am tired of typing. I'll always be here to guide you through. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T JOIN THE "click LIKE and type AMEN" band.
Yes, they may have thousands of post LIKES and YESes but those things are called bad profit. Make your engagement MEANINGFUL, EDUCATING AND ENTERTAINING.
