Nigeria has recently announced that the social media platform Twitter is to be blocked in the country. The social media giant has been banned by the Nigerian government led by Muhammadu Buhari, who has also ordered to prosecute and arrest the people who will continue to use Twitter in the country in any form.
If you are wondering why the government blocked the popular social media platform, then here we will bring you all the information related to the banning of Twitter!
Nigeria had blocked access to Twitter across the country after it had removed a tweet dated June 1, 2021, from its President, Muhammadu Buhari’s account. The Federal Ministry of Information and Culture of Nigeria had conveyed through a series of tweets on 4 June 2021 that the government has suspended the social media app Twitter indefinitely.
The reason given by the Federal Ministry behind the ban was the continuous use of the social media platform for the activities that aim to threaten the corporate existence of Nigeria.
Tweet by the President of Nigeria
On 2 June 2021, the social media platform Twitter had removed a tweet from Muhammadu Buhari, the President of Nigeria’s account, saying that the tweet had violated its policy related to abusive behavior.
In his tweet, Buhari announced that “those misbehaving today” will be treated in “the language they understand.” The President’s post was directed at the secessionist movement in the country and was read as a threat to the secessionists that further went on to portray “the destruction and loss of lives” during the Nigerian civil war.
The tweet was interpreted by Twitter as a threat note, comprising of the bloody connotations of the past violence perpetrated around the country during the civil war of the 1960s, which is attributed to a million deaths and countless other injuries, where Buhari served as the military ruler of Nigeria.
Here goes the full original tweet that the President posted:
“Many of those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the Nigerian Civil War. Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand.”

Nigerians Sidestepping the Twitter ban
Many Nigerians have not been cooperating with the ban by using a virtual private network to access Twitter. The social media platform, Twitter is considered to be one of the main platforms that are available for the Nigerians to criticize their government. The government has released the order, which conveyed that the people using the social media app would be arrested and prosecuted.
Twitter’s Response on Ban by Nigeria
Twitter had responded to the ban saying that they were deeply concerned about the Nigerian government blocking the social media platform. They further added that the open internet and access to it is considered to be an essential human right in modern society.
Twitter, through its public policy account, has conveyed that it would work towards restoring the social media platform for the users in Nigeria in order to communicate and connect with the entire world.
Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms are trying to figure out an effective way to deal with the controversial tweets used by the politicians. Earlier Twitter had removed the former US President Donald Trump’s tweets and have banned him permanently from Twitter.
With the rising popularity of Twitter that has already become a sensational social media platform, which deals with the tweets from celebrities from all walks of life, who prefer Twitter and expresses themselves as freely as possible, negative, abusive tweets and threat notes are pouring in and becoming increasingly difficult to handle. Therefore, Twitter and similar platforms are looking to find an effective way out.
In the meanwhile, Florida has issued a new law that will fine the social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Google, and other tech companies if they permanently ban or kick off politicians from their platforms.

If one considers the late nineties and early years of 21st century, one giant ruled the internet segment—Yahoo! Be it search engine, online tabloid, finance reports, or anything else, Yahoo! was the go-to solution for online needs, a powerful mega web service provider. While the brand may not be as powerful as it once was, it still wields influence even in the presence of competitors like Google, Facebook, Twitter, and others. 26 years and still counting!
Yahoo! was founded in the year 1994 by Jerry Yang and David Filo. An electrical engineer by profession, Filo co-founded Yahoo! at Stanford University. Initially, the duo called their venture, “Jerry and David’s guide to the World Wide Web”.
After launching Yahoo!, Filo recognized the potential of this website and subsequently launched ‘Yahoo! Inc.’. What started out as a web portal soon turned into something larger. Yahoo! became popular and started acquiring online gaming websites like ClassicGames.com, thereby releasing Yahoo! Games. Due to its partnership with multiple websites, Yahoo! enjoys considerable web traffic. By November 1994, its popularity sky-rocketed and 170,000 unique visitors were accessing the site every day.
Soon, more than a million web users were visiting Yahoo! daily. While David was operating Yahoo! alongside Jerry for enjoyment, they were revolutionizing the world wide web. Companies like Microsoft and Prodigy approached Jerry-David to buy Yahoo!, but they simply refused.
David Filo – Problems With Stanford University
Yahoo Founders- David Filo and Jerry Yang
Success stories and struggles go hand in hand. The story of Yahoo! was no different. While at Stanford, David and Jerry faced infrastructure issues. They were using the servers provided by Stanford and when the company was expanding, the systems regularly crashed. The Stanford University administration asked the duo to take their venture off-campus. However, this move encouraged the team at Yahoo! to take it to the next level, from a college experiment to the full-fledged business unit.
After funding from known sources was secured, the pair of Filo and Yang took a leave of absence from Stanford. They then hired school friends and interns to work for their company. Tim Koogle, former president of Motorola Inc., was roped in to add experience to the emerging team.
By 1995, Yahoo! had become a formidable company. An alliance with the famous Reuters boosted its popularity as users could access news headlines with a click.
A great entrepreneur knows how to pump customers with exciting offerings. Filo added new sections such as quotations, weather, and sports scores to the website. Extensions like ‘My Yahoo’ and ‘Yahooligans’, a special version of the website for children in the 8-14 age group, were released. By 1999, the company was making a profit from the advertisements displayed on the website and related pages. Yahoo! Inc. also made special co-op deals with online retailers all over the world.
David Filo – Simplicity
Even after achieving success and becoming a sensation, Filo’s lifestyle didn’t see changes. As usual, he went to office in a junk-filled Datsun, and his office desk was still surrounded by litter cans all around.
Coming Up With The Name Yahoo!
David Filo- Co-founder of Yahoo
The name Yahoo! is an urban legend. It stands for ‘Yet Another Hierarchic Officious Oracle’. The name became popular overnight courtesy of Filo and Yang’s brilliance.
Yahoo’s Connection With Netscape
Yahoo! and Netscape, two of the most popular websites, have some common elements. In return for a graphical link on Yahoo!’s homepage, Netscape’s founder gave the required equipment to keep the website running. A directory button was later added on the Netscape website which led to Yahoo!’s homepage. However, this didn’t go on for long and Netscape ditched Yahoo! for another website which offered a larger sum. Betrayals are inevitable.
Yahoo!’s Decline
According to many sources, Yahoo!’s decline began in 2000 when its search engine was powered by Google. After an all-time low value of the stocks at 4.40 USD, its popularity decreased and Google took over as the dominant player. Yahoo!’s rigidness in keeping up with evolving trends (much like Nokia’s debacle) was the salt rubbed into the wound.
Filo transformed his hobby into profession. His work went on to leave a drastic mark on the World Wide Web. Although it’s Google that is the big shot at present, one cannot overlook Yahoo!’s dominance in the 20thcentury and early 21st century.
David Filo’s net worth is 350 crores USD as of 2021. Filo is one of the early men to have realized the potential of the world wide web. His initiative came at a time when the internet segment was in its infancy. Innovation drove Yahoo! to prominence. What started with providing weather forecasts, match scores, and quotations is a behemoth today.
David Filo’s story should compel you to explore those untouched opportunities in the digital world and fill in gaps yet to be identified!

Over the past few months, the second wave of Covid has been increasing in India and most of us have lost our dear ones. The pandemic has increased the death rate and the second wave has become very fatal. But, have you ever wondered what would happen to the social media accounts of the ones who lose their life during the Covid battle or any other cause? In this article let’s look at what happens to the social media accounts of the users who lost their life due to Covid or any other cause.
Study by University of Oxford on Social Media accounts
According to a study by the Oxford Internet Institute of the University of Oxford based on the social media user levels as of 2018, it was found that around 1.4 billion users will die before 2100 which would be more than the social media users living on Facebook during 2070.
This is a serious issue that nobody has thought about and like any other account such as a bank account, the social media companies will have to find a nominee who would be able to close the account or take care of the account after the death of the individual. Currently, there are three different procedures towards the social media account of a person who lost his life.
Procedures that can be followed to the social media account after death of an individual
There are 3 different procedures that can be followed to the social media account after the death of an individual. The first step would be to just leave the account untouched. There won’t be any changes made to the account and it would remain intact after the death of an individual.
The second step would be informing the related company and closing down of the account. It would be any social media company such as Twitter, Facebook or Instagram which can be done by submitting the death certificate of the individual and the last step would be to give access to a nominee and make it a memorial account.
Steps taken by Facebook and Instagram to the account after death of an individual
Facebook Memorial Page
Facebook provides this feature to hand over the account and to make it a memorial one. The legacy contacts will not get the same features towards the account, he will only be able to change the profile picture, respond to friend requests or write a tribute post on the account.
The account can be identified as a word Remembering will be shown next to the account. These accounts will not be visible on the friend’s suggestions or won’t show any birthday alerts towards other users. Instagram also provides the same option regarding the social media account.
Steps taken by Twitter to the account after death of an individual
Twitter does not provide access to the legacy account holder towards the account. The individual’s account will have to be deactivated. The immediate family member will have to request on deactivating the account by providing their id, death certificate and other documents required by the company.
However, if an immediate family member or a closed one has access to the deceased individual’s account then the account can be kept active and the user can update the posts according to their choice.
Steps taken by Google and WhatsApp to the account after death of an individual
Google has not provided any information regarding the account after the death of an individual. However, a close family member or a person can apply by providing the required documents and close the google account of the individual.
Google also asks an individual while creating an account on the closure of account during inactivity and if the individual select an option of 3 months, then an inactivity of the account for 3 months would automatically delete the google account.
In the case of WhatsApp, there is no such procedure for closure or deleting the account. Whoever has access to the deceased person’s mobile phone will have access towards WhatsApp and the account will have to be manually deleted from the phone.
Conclusion
However, except for a few social media companies, there is no much procedure to close down or to bring changes to a deceased person’s account. There are arguments that the government should mandate a certain procedure for the social media accounts of the individuals who lose their life.
FAQ

WhatsApp has no way of knowing if users are dead or not. If an individual does die, their account will most likely continue to exist, and people will still be able to send them messages.

In the past few days, the headlines and the major posts on various social media handles were about the ban of the social media applications in India. Let’s look at why the social media giants such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram might get banned in India.
Why The Government of India might ban Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
During the month of February, the Government of India had provided a new norm that is supposed to be followed by all the social media companies in the country. The Government of India had provided a time period of 3 months where the deadline for accepting the new norms was on 25 May 2021.
The social media giants such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and WhatsApp have not accepted the norms and have not made any provision to follow the norms.
The new Social media norms by The Government of India
As per the new norm, the large social media platforms defined as those who have more than 50 lakh registered users will have to appoint a resident grievance officer as part of a larger grievance redressal mechanism, they will also have to actively monitor the content on their platform and also provide a monthly compliance report for Indian users and self-regulation mechanism.
Social media platforms that have not accepted the new norm
As of now only the Indian based social media application Koo has accepted the norms and the guidelines put forward by the government. The other social media giants have not accepted the norms and WhatsApp has also filed a complaint against the government in the High Court of Delhi.
The social media giants such as Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter have conveyed that accepting the new norm would end the privacy of the users and messaging platforms such as WhatsApp will no longer be end-to-end encrypted.
Number of social network users in India
Will the Social media Apps really get banned?
It is to be noted that if the social media platforms do not comply with the new norms and don’t follow the guidelines, they will not be banned by the Government but they will lose their status as a social media platform and various protections they receive as intermediaries.
The Government of India can also file a case against the social media companies for not following the rules as per the law of land.
The main consequence if the social media platforms accept the ban would be faced by the users and the citizens of the country is that they would lose the right to speech and they would not be able to freely express their view points on the social media platforms.
If the social media platforms are banned in the country it would largely affect the economy of the country adding to a lot of people becoming unemployed as a large number of people run their online businesses through Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
The ban on the social media giants will also largely affect the other companies in India as they rely on these platforms for advertising their products and services. The social media platforms even provide an option where the companies can target their customers.
It would even affect the Indian based employees working in the various social media companies as the ban would lead to unemployment to a lot of them working in the Indian subsidiaries of the social media companies.
This is estimated to largely affect the economy as the businesses which have build a profile on the social media platforms would run under loss and also taking the critical situation of the Covid pandemic and increase of unemployment in the country would have a large effect on the economy of the country.
FAQ
Why is social media getting banned?
Social media apps might get banned if they fail to comply with the new intermediary guidelines for social media platforms.
What is the new IT rules for social media?
The new IT Rules 2021 for digital media platforms includes the requirement to appoint a resident grievance officer as part of a larger grievance redressal mechanism, active monitoring of content on the platform, and monthly compliance reports for Indian users.
Has WhatsApp sued Indian government?
Yes, WhatsApp has filed a case in the Delhi High Court against the Indian government, seeking to block the new IT rules.
Conclusion
India has around 53 crore WhatsApp users, 41 crore Facebook users, 21 crore Instagram users and around 1.75 crore Twitter account holders. These are the major social media companies operating in India and the Indian based application Koo has around 60 lakh users.

Occupation
Internet Entrepreneur
Title
Founder & CEO of Facebook, Inc and Co-founder of Chan Zuckerberg Initiative
Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York. His parents are Karen, a psychiatrist, and Edward Zuckerberg, a dentist. He along with his three sisters, Randi, Donna, and Arielle, were brought up in Dobbs Ferry, New York, a small Westchester County village about 21 miles north of Midtown Manhattan. His ancestors hailed from Germany, Austria and Poland and Zuckerberg was raised in a Reform Jewish household. At the age of 13 he had a Star Wars-themed bar mitzvah.
Mark Zuckerberg – Education
Zuckerberg excelled in classes at Ardsley High School. He transferred to the private school Phillips Exeter Academy after 2 years. He won prizes in mathematics, astronomy, physics, and classical studies. In his youth, he has also attended the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth summer camp. Zuckerberg stated that he could read and write French, Hebrew, Latin, and ancient Greek on his college application. He is not just a nerd and was the captain of the fencing team.
Mark Zuckerberg – Beginning of Facebook
Zuckerberg had already gained a “reputation as a programming prodigy” by the time he started classes at Harvard, and he studied psychology and computer science. He was a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi and of Kirkland House. He wrote a software he called CourseMatch, which enabled users to make class selection decisions based on other students’ choices. After a short time, he created a new software that he originally called Facemash, allowing students to pick the best-looking individual from a collection of images. According to Zuckerberg’s roommate, Arie Hasit, at that time, “he built the site for fun.” Hasit explains:
We had books called Face Books, which included the names and pictures of everyone who lived in the student dorms. At first, he built a site and placed two pictures or pictures of two males and two females. Visitors to the site had to choose who was “hotter” and according to the votes there would be a ranking.
The site went up over a weekend. But the college turned it off by Monday morning, because its popularity overwhelmed one of Harvard’s network switches and stopped students from accessing the Internet. A lot of students complained at that time that their photos were being used without permission. But Zuckerberg publicly apologized, and articles were run in the student paper saying his platform was “absolutely unacceptable.”
Zuckerberg began writing code for a new website the following semester, in January 2004. On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched “TheFacebook,” which was originally located at thefacebook.com. When he launched Facebook, three of his seniors (Cľ Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss and Divya Narendra) in Harvard after 6 days accused him of purposely misleading them into thinking that he would help them create a social network called HarvardConnection.com, while instead using their ideas to develop a rival product.
The three protested to The Harvard Crimson, and in response, the newspaper launched an investigation. Those three filed a lawsuit against Zuckerberg after Facebook was launched officially. It resulted in a settlement. They agreed a settlement for 1.2 million Facebook shares.
In his sophomore year, Zuckerberg had dropped out of Harvard to complete his thesis. In January 2014, he recalled:
I remember really vividly, you know, having pizza with my friends a day or two after—I opened up the first version of Facebook at the time I thought, “You know, someone needs to build a service like this for the world.” But I just never thought that we’d be the ones to help do it. And I think a lot of what it comes down to is we just cared more.
Zuckerberg received an honorary degree from Harvard on May 25, 2017. He gave a commencement speech on the same day at Harvard’s 366th commencement Day.
A month after Zuckerberg launched Facebook in February 2004, there was launch of i2hub, another campus-only service created by Wayne Chang. The i2hub focused on sharing files peer-to-peer. At the time, both i2hub and Facebook gained media attention and were rising exponentially in users and advertising. In August 2004, Zuckerberg, Andrew McCollum, Adam D’Angelo and Sean Parker founded a rival peer-to-peer file sharing service called Wirehog.
Platform, Beacon, and Connect
Zuckerberg unveiled on May 24, 2007 the Facebook Forum, a forum for programmers to create social applications within Facebook. A lot of applications were developed within weeks and some already had millions of users. It has expanded to more than 800,000 developers around the globe developing Facebook Platform applications.
Zuckerberg revealed on November 6, 2007 Beacon, a social advertisement system that allowed people to exchange information with their Facebook friends based on their surfing habits on other pages. For instance, eBay sellers might automatically let friends know what they’ve got for sale via Facebook news feed as they list items for sale. The software was under investigation due to concerns regarding the privacy of groups and individual users. Zuckerberg and Facebook failed to respond quickly to the complaints and Zuckerberg published a blog post on Facebook on December 5, 2007, accepting responsibility for Beacon ‘s issues and offering users a simpler way to opt out of the service.
In 2007, Zuckerberg was named to the TR35 list by MIT Technology Review as one of the world’s top 35 innovators under 35. Zuckerberg revealed on 23 July 2008 Facebook Link, a user-friendly version of the Facebook Site.
Critics say that, Facebook bought Instagram because it was scared of Twitter and Google+. Facebook bought Instagram for $1 billion in 2012. Today Instagram has over 1 billion users. Instagram contributes $20 billion to Facebook annual revenue. Facebook purchased Whatsapp– the messaging sevice, for $19 billion in February, 2014.
The 3 main social networking sites owned by Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg – Controversies
Saverin lawsuit
A complaint brought against Facebook and Zuckerberg by Eduardo Saverin was settled outside court. While settlement terms were sealed, the firm confirmed Saverin ‘s role as Facebook’s co-founder. After the settlement Saverin signed a non-disclosure agreement.
Pakistan criminal investigation
Pakistani Deputy Attorney General Muhammad Azhar Sidiqque initiated a criminal investigation into Zuckerberg and Facebook co-founders Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes in June 2010, following a Facebook hosting of a “Draw Muhammad” contest. The investigation identified the German woman who produced the contest as anonymous. Sidiqque requested police from the country to contact Interpol to have Zuckerberg and the other three arrested for blasphemy. Facebook’s website was briefly blocked in Pakistan on May 19, 2010, before Facebook removed the contest from its website in late May. Sidiqque also demanded that its UN representative discuss the issue with the UN General Assembly.
Cambridge Analytica Data Breach
Zuckerberg appeared before Congress in April 2018, after it was reported that the company had exchanged consumer data with Cambridge Analytica, a political consulting firm.
Forbes has attributed the dramatic decline in the stock price of Facebook following the company’s July warning investors of slowing growth and profit margins to the increasing effect of the battle between profit and privacy, citing the story of Cambridge Analytica and the rising inability of Facebook to protect users from harmful misuse and misinformation.
Palestinian terror attacks
Israeli cabinet minister Gilad Erdan accused Zuckerberg of having some responsibility for Palestinians’ deadly attacks on Israelis on 2 July 2016.[93] According to him, the social network was not doing enough to ban posts on its site that encourage violence against Israelis. “Sure of the blood of the victims is on the hands of Zuckerberg,” Erdan said.
Hawaiian land ownership
Zuckerberg filed eight “quiet title and division” lawsuits against hundreds of Hawaiian natives in January 2017 to buy small tracts of land which they own. This land is located within the 700 acres of land which Zuckerberg had purchased in 2014 on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. After learning that Hawaiian land ownership law differs from that of the other 49 states, he dropped the lawsuits.
Paul Ceglia
Paul Ceglia, owner of a wood pellet fuel business in Allegany County, upstate New York, filed a lawsuit against Zuckerberg in June 2010, alleging 84 percent Facebook possession and demanding monetary damages. According to Ceglia, on April 28, 2003, he and Zuckerberg signed a contract for an initial fee of $1,000 entitled Ceglia to 50 percent of the website ‘s sales, as well as an additional 1 percent stake in the company every day after January 1, 2004, until completion of the website. At the time, Zuckerberg was creating other ventures, including Facemash, Facebook’s precursor, but the domain name thefacebook.com was not licenced until 1 January 2004. Facebook spokesperson Barry Schnitt told a reporter that Ceglia ‘s lawyers had unsuccessfully pursued a settlement outside court.
On 26 October 2012, federal prosecutors arrested Ceglia, charging him with mail and wire fraud and “tampering, damaging and manipulating evidence in a conspiracy to defraud the Facebook founder of billions of dollars.” Ceglia is accused of creating emails in order to make it appear that he and Zuckerberg exchanged specifics of an early version of Facebook. Before it was launched, some law firms withdrew from the case, and others after Ceglia ‘s arrest.
Zuckerberg contributed an undisclosed sum to Diaspora- a personal open-source Web server that operates a distributed social networking programme.
Zuckerberg founded the Start-up: Education foundation.
Zuckerberg had donated $100 million to Newark Public Schools, the public school system of Newark, New Jersey on September 22,2010.
Zuckerberg, along with Bill Gates, and investor Warren Buffett signed “The Giving Pledge” on December 9, that year, in which they vowed to devote at least half of their wealth over time to charity. They also invited others among the wealthy to donate 50 percent or more of their wealth to charity.
2012
In December, Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan announced that over the course of their lives they would give the majority of their wealth to “advancing human potential and promoting equality” in the spirit of The Giving Pledge.
Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg
2013
On December 19, Zuckerberg announced a donation to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation of 18 million Facebook shares, to be completed by the end of the month. Based on the valuation of Facebook as of then, the value of the stock was $990 million.
On December 31, the donation was recognized as the largest charitable gift on public record for 2013.
The Chronicle of Philanthropy put Zuckerberg and his wife at the top of the 2013 annual list of the magazine’s 50 most generous Americans.
2014
Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan donated US$25 million to fight the Ebola virus disease, specifically the West African Ebola virus epidemic on October.
2015
On December, Zuckerberg and Chan pledged to transfer 99% of their Facebook shares, (then at US$45 billion) to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the organization that focuses on health and education. Instead of the funds transferring immediately, it transfers over the course of their lives.
Instead of creating a charitable organisation to donate the value of the stock to, as did Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and other billionaires, Zuckerberg and Chan opted to use a limited liability company ( LLC) structure. Some journalists and academics have even come to say that, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative conducts philanthrocapitalism.
2016
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative gave $600 million in 2016 to establish the tax-exempt charity Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, a collaborative research facility near the university in San Francisco’s Mission Bay District from California, San Francisco, with the goal of promoting cooperation and collaboration between UCSF, University of California, Berkeley and Stanford University scientists. The developed intellectual property would be jointly owned by Biohub and the house institution of the discoverer. Unlike foundations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation that give up all research that is funded to free public access and reuse, Biohub maintains the freedom to sell any research that it supports. Inventors will have the option of making their findings open-source, with permission from Biohub.
2020
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Zuckerberg donated $25 million to Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It is a foundation that is searching for treatments for the disease. He announced $25 million in grants to support local journalism that was impacted by the pandemic. And $75 million in advertisement purchases in local newspapers by Facebook, Inc., where Facebook will market itself.

Moreover, such platforms are now providing employment opportunities to hundreds of thousands of people in different countries. You have positions like social media specialist, social media marketer, and what not. One such popular and desirable job responsibility is that of a social media manager. So what exactly is a social media manager? This guy is responsible for planning, implementing, managing and monitoring company’s Social Media strategy to increase brand awareness, improve Marketing efforts and increase sales.
Interested in knowing how to become a social media manager? Then this post is for you. The steps described below will give you a direction on how to become a social media manager.
You can’t become proficient in English if you don’t know the alphabets. A similar analogy applies to become a social media manager. The first step is to know what social media is and how it works. This involves making a list of different platforms and exploring them one by one. Consider LinkedIn. You are aware it’s a social media platform meant for professionals. But what next? You have to go beyond making connections, writing posts, and following people. Do you know about LinkedIn advertising? Do you know about building your business profile on LinkedIn? This is just a preview of the several features you were clueless about.
The same applies to platforms like Facebook and Twitter as well. Most of us don’t take the efforts to explore beyond the basic features of social media websites. Ignorance is bliss but not if you want to become a social media manager!
You have to practice. Theory without practical is incomplete learning. This also applies to social media management. You may know all of the platforms inside-out but it’s waste if you don’t implement your learning. You can practice with your private social media accounts if opening an experimental business account isn’t possible. Build your followers, engage with them through interesting content, and curate a brand.
Once you are confident enough, experiment with a business account on the platforms. The rules of the game may change slightly but the fundamentals remain the same.
Set Prices For Your Services
When it comes to pricing it’s a personal decision. It’s your call. How much your time is worth and what budget your potential client has are some parameters to base your decision. If your clients are a multi-million dollar business they can afford to pay you thousands of dollars per month, but if they are a small business, they may only pay a few hundred dollars.
The quality and quantity of your content matter above everything else. How much content are you going to be putting out every month and the kind of engagement you bring in determines your rates. At the same time, services don’t encompass only posting content. Growing followers, advertising, etc. also need to fall under your offerings.
This is the reason why businesses pay insane amount to social media managers. Having a strong and dominating virtual presence is essential for every organization to stay relevant today.
Okay, so you have come up with a pricing strategy. What next? Start selling your services, of course. You may not convert every lead, you may be subjected to constructive criticism, or face rejection in some other sense. That’s inevitable. Every journey has crests and troughs and selling your services is no different. Once you have built your reputation, clients will automatically come to you.

Moreover, you can grow followers for free on Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. With Facebook, it’s a bit tricky because you need to spend money on ads and boosted posts.

Whereas the latter depends on the current affairs and trends. And on social media, people are more interested in trending content.
