What are the most important skills a Social Media Marketer should posses?

I think that, Social Media Marketers not only have to be good with people, but have to be good at listening to the needs of their consumers. Listening and  monitoring is a big part of the social media role.  Obviously you must have a great understanding of the main social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Bayt and Instagram. The primary social networks that a business uses differ according to their industry, target market and budget.  However, when it comes to the analytics associated with social networks, social media marketers must have a basic understanding of math and a good eye for noticing patterns(say, when trying to discover the best type of post for Facebook, or best time of day to post).  When it comes to writing, social media marketers have to know how to get an interesting or intriguing message out in as little as 140 characters. Succinct writing is an everyday task for a social media marketer. They also must be able to adapt to the tone of the brand they are representing.

Marketing is the spirit of any business, and the closest to the decision makers. Marketing techniques are many, some of the mentioned above are right..but still depends on the marketing plan and the strategy for sure. The issue here is to identify the target market, cluster, and the consumer, after this you can ssk about techniques. Thanks Khaled

The purpose of social media is to be a voice for your brand and to communicate with your customers, existing and potential. 

As a social media marketer, you’ll need to have an understanding of what kind of customer information is most valuable for your business or brand.

To stand out in the crowd, you need to have the ability to create a powerful visual brand across all your social channels, and you need to have a posting strategy that includes a variety of creative and eclectic content, including images, videos, ebooks, promotions, and landing pages.
