You may be thinking ,can I become a social media manager without any prior knowledge? 

The answer is yes! But a word of caution: there's a common misconception that anyone can "do" social media simply because we all use it. And while a passion for social media is a must, using social media in a professional context is vastly different from how we use it in our personal lives.

While higher positions in social media management may require on-the-job expertise, this is rarely a requirement for entry-level positions. Employers may expect new hires to have a college degree, but it doesn't necessarily have to be in a field directly related to social media management (or even digital marketing).

 As long as you're a self-starter, enjoy learning new things, and are willing to put in the effort to develop the skills needed to get started, you're covered. Developing the skills could mean taking a class or undertaking some other type of training.
