thanks cosmo for telling everyone...

I picked up the latest Cosmo today after work - Lady Gaga on the cover convinced me to make the $5.49 purchase. While reading, I came across the "Want a kick-ass new job?" article. One of these newly-discovered jobs - a Professional Tweeter.

Cool. Thanks Cosmo for announcing my dream job to the entire English speaking world. Yes, I realize that it really wasnt a secret to begin with, but that many more people now know.

It's not just Tweeting professionally, its a new marketing lifestyle. It's Social Netmarketing.

This is what I LOVE to do. You get to be engaged with the customers, reach out to them, connect with them. I can honestly say that I now have an area that I am truly interested in with advertising and marketing.

Blogging. Facebooking. Tweeting. Here's the "secret" everyone: get into a marketing or PR firm that has or is in dire need for a social networking strategy. Yes, there are TONS of people that can Facebook their way up and down a street, but how many can actually use it to a companies benefit?

For us SLC grads, we know 2 things well: Advertising and Facebook. Well... we can now add blogging to our list ;)

So Saatchi wont take you in as an intern and you "settle" for a local small biz. Use it to your advantage - show this old school company the new social netmarketing ways of the future. An unexpected position is social marketing may just open up for ya.
