Now Hiring Social Media Marketing Strategist
No, I am not hiring this person but I am seeing this as a new classified advertisement all over the web. I am seeing it on many new marketing company pages in their “We Are Hiring” page and I am seeing it come up in RSS feeds in my aggregator for hiring bloggers. Hiring of this position is the new black and a very sought after position in many companies. Personally I love it and want to tell all of the naysayers that “I told you so!”
There is a very large demand for this new position because it is a new commodity to know how to handle all of the media platforms, all of the applications and the many networks out there as well we being a “blogger”. I have said it many times before, as a professional blogger I have to wear many hats. These hats include all of the job descriptions as described in these jobs.

Obviously, all of the above are things that we as bloggers do on a daily basis. This is typical of what companies are looking for as they call me when they want this person in their seat of their office computer. I spoke about blogging for a living in Vegas, I am speaking about it in Miami next month and in Denver the week after. Many bloggers want to do it and many companies need the help. My business is doing well!!
