Blogging Part 1

Blogging is something that is now a media career. There are large companies that pay for bloggers or people in social media. Chances are if you are on facebook or twitter, you can get a job doing just that. You can get the word out about whatever company it is by blogging about it. I will post some jobs I have come across in social media and blogging.

Finding your niche

Well if you are like some students or career seekers, you have this thought out plan. You know exactly what you want to do next. Most people that major in TV come out and want to be on the air. Like Martin said in a popular episode--This face belongs on the Tizube! If that's how you feel then go for it. Just know that it takes hard work and dedication. You might have to double as a reporter an a walmart greeter when you get your 1st gig. Tell your parents not to worry, it will work out. If it doesn't have a Plan B. That's all for now.

This is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in producing a wide variety of marketing materials (ranging from logos to outdoor graphics to invitations to magazine ads to t-shirts and more) all with national-and sometimes international-exposure.
