With the invasion of social media in our everyday lives, people wake up to social media, sleep to social media, do everything on social media. Some people have even developed some kind of addiction to it and envy those who do it for a living, claiming it is the best job in the world. There are times where it is awesome, but it's not as easy as people make it out to be – especially when you're getting paid to do it. Here's why:
Explaining the job to your parents is a job in itself
Or explaining to anyone really
That your job is harder than they think
Because it's a 24/7 world ... forget the whole 9-5 schedule
Because NO you don't just post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
You need to be creative ... like all the time
And put together a proper strategy
To hit and exceed those metrics
& sometimes you spend the entire day writing a post to get nothing in return
Even worse, when your post reaches 0.000000001% of the audience
Seeing a spelling mistake after a post has been published gives you a panic attack
But when a post does well ... you ultimately go crazy
As you do when an influencer in the industry decides to share your content ...
And in that moment, a herd of people enter your site
Where you have one and only one thing in mind
& watching a brand have a PR crisis online is just...
Until the moment your brand gets trolled...because you know you have to keep your calm
The word "millennials" is far from impressive
As are the constant Facebook changes you have to adjust to
But that feeling when your boss walks in and sees you on Facebook ... takes all the frustration away
And that's when you know... your job is freaking awesome!
