You can

Social media
careers are the new growth industry. Whilst social media started out as being
personal social networks it’s now much more with most business and community
organisations having a presence in this space with their own Blog, Facebook,
Instagram and Twitter accounts. All require skills to build, write,
communicate, curate and monitor online content.
