1. Social Media Mirror
So You Want to Become A
Social Media Manager..
Let’s face it!

2. Are you really Social or just
acting Social?
A social media manager needs to
interact with a diverse set of people
on a regular basis.
Be it through participating in events,
conferences or going to tweet ups
every now and then.
So, make sure you actually like talking
to people in real life and not just
virtually.

3. Are you the guy who..?
Likes talking about himself and doesn’t
even bother to listen when others
speak.
If you’re this kind of a guy then social
media is not for you.
Because, nobody will like you and so
your content.

4. You talk using a megaphone,
not a walkie-talkie!!
You ask too many questions, but never
take interest in solving someone’s
queries.
Always remember that a conversation
happening on walkie-talkie is more
precise and clear than the one on
megaphone.

5. Do you look for others to share
relevant info?
If you’re one of those marketing
strategists who always look for
inspirations and examples, then social
media is not the thing for you.
Become the “Google” for others rather
than spending time on “Googling”
others.
Forget about Social Media, If You belong to the red clan

6. If you’re not funny, you’re
dead!!
Funny things have the highest
probability of going viral on social
media.
So, if you can’t entertain your
friends/audience with a daily dose of
humor everyday, your efforts won’t be
able to pay your bills.

7. If you just “share” your content!
Social Media is a dynamic world and
hence everything associated with it
should be dynamic, cool and stylish.
If you’re the one who has never used
video/info-graphics in your content,
then you’re making a very big
mistake, my friend!

8. Are you the one who waits for
others to talk to you first?
Many people need an ice-breaker conversation to get started and then
they are comfortable in talking with the other person.
So if you’re not a go-getter yourself and wait for others to approach you.
You’ll surely miss the bus.
