Who wouldn’t like to be paid to browse social media? If you quickly scan through a social media manager job description, you will notice all they have to do is be on social media, right?
Wrong!
The truth is far from simply browsing social media. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to state that browsing social media platforms is just 5% of their daily tasks. A social media manager has to think way ahead to execute their social media marketing plans.
OK, where to begin?
I think I am forgetting something.
Thoughts like these run through their head the whole day.
Therefore, it’s important for social media marketers to stay organized and keep track of their work. For this, they need a checklist to complete their tasks efficiently.
This checklist highlights the basics of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google+, Pinterest, and YouTube. Following social media trends can help you decide the items you’d like to add to this list.

Social media marketing is an evolving procedure that includes numerous tasks. These are not one-time tasks or tasks that can be performed on a random basis. It requires commitment and constant efforts from a social media manager.
The everyday agenda of a social media manager includes various responsibilities and hence it is obvious to miss some of the tasks. Therefore, having a social media checklist is the best way to be up to date and not miss a thing.
Let us know in the comments section below what you’d like to add to this list.
Happy Marketing!

Thanks! The first draft of any blog isn’t the best version. Make sure you write every thought as it pops and then later edit the content. Ideally after a day of writing it.
