Would you like to work in the exciting new field of social media - without having to spend hours hunched over your computer desk? Working smart means setting yourself up as the middle man - matching clients who need help with social media projects with vendors who have all the contacts and experience to complete those projects.

It’s fun, easy, and a virtually foolproof way of cashing in on the ever growing social media movement. You are basically getting paid for simply handling the transfer of services! As you can imagine, supervising social media projects is a lot easier and fun than actually working on each project yourself.

Social media arbitrage can work for you whether you are a newcomer to the field of “SocMed” or even if you are an established social media manager looking to cut down on hands on involvement. To understand how this is possible, let’s take a quick look at the word “arbitrage” and what it means:

Arbitrage in the world of finance means buying something from one market at one price and instantly reselling it in another market at a higher price. When done in the stock market, this is considered a “norisk” action because the buying and selling is done practically simultaneously, leaving no time for the price in either market to change.

When applied to social media, arbitrage refers to the act of buying social media actions from providers at one price, and reselling them to clients at a higher price. You do minimal work yourself (mainly quality control) and pocket the difference.

Social media arbitrage allows you to sell social media packages without actually providing them yourself, and make more money than you could if you actually completed each project personally.
