SOCIAL MEDIA PRODUCER.

One of the Task we have on PP1 is understanding what a "Social Media Producer" is and what he/she does.

This is not Really that hard, I did some reading and searching on line and came up with this -

An SMP's (socisl media producer) Job mainly is to connect and interact with users through new channels such as Social Media networks like Twitter, Instant Messaging and of course, Facebook, Newmedia communication tools like Podcasts, Forums, Online communities and Blogs.

As part of your daily responsibilities, An SMP will be at the forefront of driving our news articles, blogs, discussions, polls and community activities through social media networks with the goal of attracting a wider audience to the project he/she is producing. And is expected to flag trends and be aware of new social media sites on the internet.

Basically i see that an SMP HAS to be a sociable person. I mean You'll really suck at your job if you have only 13 followers on twitter and 20 friends on face book. you can't reach out of you are not original socialy active. It's of course ideal to be a SMP if you are already famous within the online community, or just have alot of friends. If people do read your blog, you can post and promote your projects on the blog and people will see and be aware about whatever you are promoting. (unlike this blog)

well i think the first line of work i have to to as an SMP in PP1, is to be more active on my social networking accounts. That will make people notice me and therefor notice what we are doing.

And just for the record, I'm having an online radio show soon on unpopular-music.blogspot.com , stay tuned for updates!
