We’re excited to announce that we’ve taken things a step further with our new Slack group!
Our Slack Community with Socialers
Socialers was started by Socialistics very own Jason Yormark as a passion project to build a community that exclusively served social media professionals. With 15+ years of social media experience and much of that around career development, it was a natural fit.
“My career led me to social media back in 2007 and I haven’t looked back since. I have always been passionate about the art & science of delivering real business results through social media as well as mentoring and helping social media professionals navigate their careers. Socialers is the culmination of all that work and passion to help others learn, grow and fill their social media needs.” – JASON YORMARK
Some of the features of Socialers include:

Who Can Participate in the Slack Community?
The Socialers Slack Group was created by and for social media professionals. It’s a place for those with careers in social media — or those who want to start or expand their careers — to connect, share job and gig opportunities, discuss best practices, and chat with people who share their interests and passions.
To keep the group focused on its primary purpose — connecting those who have or want to have jobs in social media — we limit the channel to those with social media experience. If you lack experience but are interested in pursuing a career, you’re also welcome to join.

We have a few rules to keep the group organized and help members find the information they need:

- Ask permission in a public channel before DMing someone; This helps to prevent harassment
- Don’t use @here or @channel mentions
- Use appropriate, relevant channels (and do not post the same content on multiple channels)
- Limit self-promotion to the #promotion channel
- Use threads to make conversations easy to follow
- Ask better questions to get better answers
