Dear Reader,

$114,000.

It's a very real figure.

It's based on the latest pricing estimates for social media by Social Media Expert Mark Collier.

So, my question to you is …

Are you maximizing the opportunity social media represents for your freelance writing business?

If you answered "no" or "kind of," you're not alone.

According to SocialMediaExaminer.com, 65% of marketers don't understand how social media works or how it can help them.

Only a small percentage of the remaining 35% understand its true potential … or know how to get results.

Which is pretty shocking when you consider that a sound social media strategy is something most businesses want and need! Because as we continue to see, social media's infiltration into our everyday lives has been nothing short of astounding.

To give you an idea how influential, here are some statistics that demonstrate just how popular social media has become around the world:

• 62% of online citizens around the world use the Internet for social networking. (Ipsos, an independent market research company)
• Social media sites and blogs reach 80% of all U.S. Internet users. (Mindjumper Social Media Group)
• Twitter has 190 million active users each month with 135,000 new users signing up each day. (Statistic Brain)
• Google+ now has over 300 million users as of January 2014. (Statista)
• Facebook now has 1.31 billion active users as of January 1, 2014. (Statistic Brain)
• LinkedIn has more than 277 million members in over 200 countries and territories. (Wikipedia)
• YouTube has over a billion unique users each month (YouTube); Pinterest has 70 million users as of July 2013 (Semiocast); Instagram has over 200 million users (Instagram).
• Social media revenue will reach $34 billion by 2016, up from $11.8 billion in 2011 and $16.9 billion in 2012. (Gartner Inc.)

Now, while all those numbers firmly show the enormity of social media, here's one more set of statistics that will be of interest to every online marketer and freelance web writer …

According to a survey conducted by Market Force, 78% of respondents said that posts from companies they follow on social media impact their purchases. An ODM Group study found that 74% of consumers rely on social networks to guide purchase decisions.

And equally important, 80% of business executives believe social media is “important” or “somewhat important” in marketing and branding.

But despite the growing acknowledgement of the important role social media plays in boosting a company's bottom-line profits, a Harvard Business Review report called The New Conversation: Taking Social Media from Talk to Action, found that two-thirds of companies surveyed who use social media had no formalized social media strategy.

Plus, just 7% had integrated social media into their overall marketing strategy. And, only 12% of the companies in the survey said they felt they were currently effective users of social media.

Yet 69% said their use of social media will grow significantly over the next few years.

With the growing influence and huge demand, it's little wonder that there is such a huge need for web writers who possess social media know-how that gets results.

Not Just "Another Opportunity" —
A MAJOR OPPORTUNITY

My name is Rebecca Matter. As Co-Managing Partner of AWAI, one of my responsibilities is to ensure you have the skills needed to compete and take advantage of the best opportunities for writers.

And I see social media as not just "another opportunity," but a MAJOR OPPORTUNITY.

Why major?

Because there are actually three ways your career can benefit from learning effective social media marketing techniques.

I'll start with the most obvious first …

1. Add a profitable, in-demand service to your copywriting arsenal — Most business owners and marketers in higher positions find it easier to deal with one freelance web writer versus two or three. So, being able to handle both their web copy needs and their social media requirements is a huge plus for you. You'll have more potential paying assignments available to you and you'll generate more income per client. Plus, you'll keep the competition out of your accounts.

   It's worth pointing out that helping a client with their social media requirements doesn't necessarily mean that you personally take over all of their Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, etc., accounts. While that's certainly an option, you may just want to act as a consultant and provide them with monitoring, strategy development, and guidance. Then, let them handle the day-to-day activities. It's totally up to you.

The next way to boost your business is less obvious, and is being overlooked by most freelancers right now …

2. It's a great way to get your foot in the door — While a potential client may not need a new web page written or rewritten at this very moment, or they already have an online copywriter they work with, they may very well need help with their social media — especially if it’s not currently doing anything for their bottom line.

If you ask them "How are your social media efforts working for you? What would it mean to your business if the people you’re connecting with took more action?" or a similar type question, there's a good chance you will grab their attention. Social media is a great conversation starter when looking for new clients, because for the most part, companies don’t yet understand how to make it work. And if you have any information on how to do it, they’ll want to listen.

The third is probably the easiest to implement right away …

3. Promoting your own freelance business — While your freelance website is a necessary component in promoting your business, it's also passive. Social media, on the other hand, is proactive. It reaches out and grabs attention. So instead of you constantly having to contact new businesses looking for prospects, it's possible to have potential clients actually contact you. And because they approached you, you will not only have a better chance of landing them as a customer; you'll be more likely to be able to charge more for your services. Here are three statistics from Social Media Today: 1) 91% of social marketers saw improved website traffic due to social media campaigns; 2) 79% of marketers saw more quality leads from social media; and 3) Social media has a 100% higher lead-to-close rate than outbound marketing.

And all from learning one skill: How to market using social media. So, with so few marketers possessing social media marketing skills, it's little wonder that most businesses have no concept how a 140-character tweet or a post on Facebook can impact their business. They have no idea …

• How to keep the social media conversation fresh and interesting.
• How to engage their audience.
• How to attract more fans and followers who are the right prospects for their business.
• How to monitor their social media efforts.How to convert their social media efforts into more sales.What their social media goals should be.
• And on and on …

They haven't studied or analyzed it to any great extent.

But web expert Nick Usborne has.

Nick knows exactly how powerful social media can be.

He’s spent the last 16 years working exclusively online. If you don’t know Nick, he’s one of the most successful copywriters on the planet. He is internationally recognized as a leading specialist on the subject of writing for the Web.

He’s done copywriting and in-house training for huge companies like Microsoft, Yahoo!, America Online, The New York Times, and Disney.

In short, Nick knows that businesses need marketers who know how to harness and focus the power of social media.

And that’s why he's put all the answers and strategies — and much, much more — in his extensive program How To Make Money As A Social Media Marketing Expert.

Designed to give you the in-depth teaching and experience that will transform you into an expert … by the end of his program, you will know more about social media marketing than 90 to 95% of marketers today.

Instead of operating "by the seat of your pants" like many of your competitors and future clients are doing right now, you’ll have a blueprint to guide you. It'll save you time by giving you a firm proven plan, from beginning to end, on how to deliver a comprehensive social media strategy to your clients.

Here is just a sample of what you'll learn:

Rarely does a client want them all, but when you talk about these eight goals, your client instantly says to themselves, "Hey, this person knows what they're talking about."
• Social media simplified: The only four things that happen when you work with social media — Every winning social media campaign consists only of these four things. Knowing them and understanding them makes it easier for you to get results.
• The top 10 social media best practices — Keep this checklist close by to make sure you always take the most professional and results-producing social media path.
• Eight ways to provide value through social media — Providing value to people is crucial to your success as a Social Media Marketing Expert. Here are eight ways you can provide content that is interesting and useful and keeps your readers wanting more.

• Five ways to promote your client's Facebook page to quickly gain more exposure, fans, and Likes. Facebook is an important component of most social media marketing strategies. Use these five tips to energize any business Facebook page.
• Three things you should never do on social media — Many people do all three, but you won't after you read Nick's list.
• Nine questions you can ask that will get the social media conversation started with prospects and clients — You'll soon be able to make up your own, but Nick gives you nine questions that will get your client talking and thinking about you as their social media supplier.

Your 90-Day Business-Building Action Plan

As part of How To Make Money As A Social Media Marketing Expert, you'll also receive Nick's 90-Day Social Media Action Plan.

Nick lays out a framework and guideline for you to work from to make it easy to launch your social media marketing career. His 90-day plan will help move you forward and keep you accountable. And most importantly, it will inspire you to take consistent action.

And 90 days is just a guideline. Should you want to move faster, simply move up the time benchmarks and complete the tasks listed a bit faster. Depending upon your schedule, you should be able to complete the "90 days" in half the time.

So How Much Money Can You Make?

Which brings me to how much you can expect to be paid as a Social Media Marketing Expert. Here are some of the latest pricing figures posted online by social media strategist Mark Collier:

• Facebook Page Setup — $500 to $2,500 (with most charging $500 to $1,500)
• Facebook Account Management and Curation — $1,000 to $3,000 per month (with most charging $1,000 to $2,000)
• Facebook Promotion Creation — Short-Term Contest (1-3 months), including branding for the app, limited promotion on other channels such as Twitter to promote the contest. (Fee doesn’t include prize and Facebook Ads to promote) — $1,500 to $20,000
  
  Long-Term Contest (3-6 months), including above, more elaborate promotion based on client’s needs — $25,000 to $75,000
• Twitter Account Setup — $500 to $2,000 (with most charging $500 to $1,000)
• Twitter Account (optimized bio, custom background, etc.) for Ongoing Management (dependent on level of activity and amount of content) — $500 to $3,000 per month (with most charging $500 to $1,500 per month)
• Social Media Monitoring Setup — $500 to $5,000 per month (with most charging $1,000 to $2,000)
• Social Media Ongoing Reports and Advisement — $500 to $7,500 (with most charging $1,000 to $2,000)
• Social Media Hourly Training and Consulting — $50 to $500 (with most charging $100 to $250)

Now, obviously the price at the higher end is attainable after you build up your experience and know-how in the social media marketplace, but you can see by these fee ranges that there is money to be made.

And lots of it.

Using the average of the "most charged" price, if you:

• Set up three Facebook pages a month (3 X $1,000 = $3,000);
• Manage two Twitter accounts a month (2 X $1,000 = $2,000); and
• Manage just three Facebook business accounts on a monthly basis (3 X $1,500 = $4,500)

That's a total of $9,500 in monthly income right there!

Which translates into $114,000 a year.

Even if you made half that much in additional income, chances are it would still have a profound impact on your business and your lifestyle.

The possibilities, and income, are endless. There are so many options of social media services you could provide, that pricing can seem tricky when you are first starting out. That’s why Nick teaches you more than effective social media marketing strategies in his program …

A Financially-Valuable Skill Set
No Freelancer Should Be Without

"On the road to wealth, developing a financially-valuable skill is the most important step. It's the foundation upon which every other step is based."

I reference this quote by self-made millionaire and Master Copywriter Mark Ford (you may be more familiar with his pen name, Michael Masterson), because it's extremely applicable to the social media opportunity.

One of the best things about being a freelance writer is that you take your destiny into your own hands.

You are not dependent on any one company for your livelihood. You possess a skill that means you never again have to worry about being laid off or one day having to stand in the unemployment line.

You have the comfort and security of knowing that if you were stripped of all your possessions and dropped into a new state or country, as long as you had an Internet connection, you'd be able to quickly generate income for yourself.

Becoming a social media marketer enhances your financially-valuable skill and your income-generating power and potential.

The skills you possess will continue to be in demand by more and more people.

When you factor in, as Nick points out, that most businesses are doing social media "all wrong" and they desperately need your guidance … well, it really becomes a no-brainer.

Remember, this is Nick Usborne telling you how huge this opportunity is.

Nick was one of the first to recognize that web copy was different from traditional marketing. He was there. He saw how big the opportunity was back then for experienced web writers.

And according to Nick, this social media opportunity is just as great, if not greater.

But aside from all that and the money you can make, there's another reason why you should sign up for Nick's program today …

Social media is fun. And it's fascinating. You'll never be bored.
