What is Social Media Management?

In order to get acquainted with the concept of Social Media Management, first you need to understand what social networking is or what social media is all about. It circles internet communication tools that make it easy for people across the globe to interact, engage, and communicate with each other. There are many social networking platforms available such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube etc… and new ones are constantly cropping up and spreading like wildfire.

Initially, social networks were used to share photos, videos, personal messages and updates about personal lives. However, with heavy usage of social networking websites such as Facebook, Twitter etc… mobile versions came to the lime light and people started using them from their mobile phones as well.

Social media by nature is very interactive, let’s take an example of Facebook. You can post a video on Face book and within a few minutes if the video is interesting enough, you will start receiving comments and feedback on the video and your friends will start sharing them on their respective walls where other people will see and share, so basically it’s a viral marketing technique being applied here. If you share something very interesting, you can be sure that in a few hours it will be roaming around all over the internet and everyone would have seen this.

Consider the same example; only replace the video with one of your company product ads. Share it the same way and within hours, if the ad is interesting and the content is strong and it can pull people, you will find it being shared all around the social media.

Same is the case with twitter, it allows you 140 characters to send a message and others who follow your tweets can retweet it or comment on it. If you are sending something very interesting, there is no doubt that a hundred thousand people may retweet it and it goes on farther and farther.

Similarly, there is YouTube, blogs, LinkedIn and what not. Explaining everything can be very lengthy so let’s not get into the details here. This world of Facebook, tweets and tweeple clubbed with blogs and wikis of the world can be confusing to many people and especially business owners. You could be good with using Facebook sharing your pictures or with twitter updating about your journey up the north but when it comes to social media management, many business owners find themselves cornered as how to manage it.
