Essential Traits for Your Social Media Career  

This article outlines the basic four traits that successful careers based on social media all have in common. The first is developing authentic relationships. This makes sense, as who really wants to find out that no one actually cares about them? Not many people, I'd guess. the second is being a trendsetter. Easier said than done, no? Actually its pretty easy, find something that you're really interested in and tell everyone on your network. It's that easy. The third is take risks. Try something new and work up to a big risk if jumping into something new isn't quite right for you. By taking risks, there's a chance for greater satisfaction, not to mention great reward at all and if you fail, you can always say you tried. Last but certainly not least is what the author calls giving back. We all know what this means, take time out of your day (and maybe money out of your pocket) and help someone else out.
