Job Details Of A Social Media Evaluator
If you don’t, Google describes a social media evaluator as ‘a rater who provides feedback on the news feeds, adverts, and search results for social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram.
Or Quora says, “anybody who uses one or more social media networks daily and gets paid for it.” Companies look for a social media evaluator who can actively monitor their interactivity on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
It’s a person – well, that’s good for us – and not a platform, so the time it takes can be considerable. Not sure that this deserves a drum-roll, but here goes, we need to celebrate everything in life, right?
Social media evaluators’ pay rate can range from $3 – $20 per hour – this can vary depending on the rater’s country, project, and company they are working for. What’s more, the pay can be rated by the hour or project, depending on the same subjects. Google averages this out at $34 490 in the United States.
