I am one of the page managers for Twitter. I've also been a co-team leader with Cimorene for a year, though I will be stepping down soon due to changes in availability. I work with WRENCH & Krystle to prepare competitions for our media as well as our Sunday codes. As a team leader I worked with Cimorene to ensure that the teams rules are followed as well as getting little things done here and there as needed.
The majority of the time this will be between 3 people in the media they manage together. Depending on availability we'll each claim job(s) to do whether it be WWIB, Raffles, or any different events we've been trying out. WWIB (or any event that runs similarily): Make the thread, collect entries, & count votes.
Raffles: Make the thread & collect/count entries. We split the amount of winners to raffle between whoever is available & split the winners list when sending out the prize.
When we do host applications we want someone with enough time to host competitions and help by posting the given layouts (usually DM or WOF/HOF) to a designated media. We also look for people who work well with others and can handle tough situations relatively well.
In the event that we do have applications don't say you're available 24/7!!! ):< Alright, all jokes aside make sure to fill out the application in the event that we have them. When picking applicants for bootcamp we focus more on how you answer the situational questions.
It depends on the person since everyone works at their own pace. Whatever time it takes you if you make threads, count votes/entries, raffle, etc... You do need some free time to be able to take over if something comes up for another member as well ofc. (I know... I'm a slow raffler…)
Well, if it gives anyone peace of mind none of us except for the one collecting entries for WWIB knows which entry is which when voting. They're all just numbered and that person has the names for when votes need to be counted. Sometimes I guess them and see if I'm right later lol.
2 years I think. I joined in March of 2018.
I always thought it'd be fun to be apart of their events and I definitely do enjoy it. I enjoy making threads and trying to come up with puns when raffling the most lol.
It's definitely a nice team. I think we all get along pretty well actually. I don't think anyone hates anyone. ... It definitely got me to be a bit more involved in the community and I gained a friend through my bootcamp as well. (Hi Libertas <3)
Uh, I feel like I've said everything I can. Just to avoid confusion for everyone though, applications won't be very soon. The team is relatively full.
I am currently a “page manager” for Twitter meaning I help out with posting content on Twitter as well as host competitions.
We are divided according to the social media pages with there being about 3 members responsible for each page (Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter and Instagram) and then we have a group of layouters who make the amazing layouts we post as well as help out with events where needed. We follow a schedule so every month the pages are responsible for one ‘event’ each like the WWIB and raffles. This is rotated every month.
As a page manager you need to know how to use the social media you are responsible for of course and as a layouter you should be able to make attractive graphics. Apart from that you also need to be a little creative to be able to host fun competitions and come up with content to post on your page. Also as a member of SMT you need to be willing and able to work with a group of people as with any other team.
You might face criticism on your work sometimes but you should try to not let it get to you. You also need to be able to follow a schedule somewhat and be willing to dedicate time and put effort into the team.
For page managers, as I mentioned earlier each page is responsible for one event every month so the amount of work you have might be a little different each month according to what you are hosting. However, it could take around a week to plan and prepare prizes, threads and layouts, another week to run the event and then a few days to collect entries, set up voting and send out prizes. Apart from that you need to also vote on entries from other competitions and post layouts on the social media pages. Layouters spend time making the layouts they are responsible for that month as well as participate in voting, discussions and helping out with events where needed.
We have a team discord server where there is always some discussion or the other going on as at any given time at least one page will be discussing their upcoming event. Also sometimes you might not see the work some members do but the events are a combined effort of a group of people. For example when hosting a raffle you might notice the person who has created the thread but there are also others who help with choosing and coding the prizes, making and posting layouts, making the list of participants, checking the lists for side accounts and so on. Quite a bit of work from multiple members goes into all our content.
I joined the team in February 2016 so it’s been 4 years + 6 months now and I’m one of those who have been in the team the longest
I first applied and was selected as a layouter (and the only one for a while). I applied because I loved editing and making layouts (and still do) and being a small part of hosting competitions was also very fun for me. However later on I got a little busier and didn’t have enough time to make all the layouts we needed so I asked to switch to page manager as I thought I would be more useful in the team that way + I had really started to enjoy hosting and wanted to do that more.
One of the best things in SMT are the people. We have an amazing team and it’s lots of fun working with all of them. Also coming up with ideas, putting in the time and effort to come up with fun stuff for the community and then seeing people excited for them, participating and enjoying them makes me very happy.
Make sure to follow our social media pages so you don't miss anything we post!
I am a layouter, so I make images/graphics that are posted on the Social Media pages, along with Aimz, Era, Baileyyrosee and Delewie.
The layouters have a rotating schedule where you are responsible for different areas each month, for example hof/wof, DM or Raffle. On top of that, everyone makes a layout for the Sunday giveaways too, adding up to around 6 layouts a month.
The only requirements to being a layouter for SMT is having enough time to make the layouts required, and knowing how to do so I suppose, haha. You need to make more than 1 layout a week, so it’s important to stay on top of the schedule. Of course you also need to help out where needed, with planning, voting and any extra layouts/graphics that the page managers need.
SMT is a very big and busy team. We have a lot of heads wrapping around the same events, and a lot of schedules rotating every month, so it’s essential to be active, pay attention and to be able to dedicate time to the team. We’re also a bunch of really nice people, so I guess it’s nice to prepare for some new friends, hihi. ♡
It’s hard to give any definitive answer, but I’d say that it’s a considerable amount of time. SMT isn’t a team where you can be active only now and then. A lot of time goes into planning before, during and after an event. There’s not much time to breathe before you have to prepare for the next big event or the next layout.
Hmm, there’s a lot of planning that’s invisible to the public, and many hours spent in Photoshop/various editing programmes for the layouters. Although it may seem like all we do is have fun and host events, it can be frustrating to get everything to run smoothly all the time, but we try our best to be a good thing for the community!
A little over a year! A great year at that.
I applied to SMT because I enjoy using Photoshop to make edits and be creative, but I had no creative outlets or anywhere to share my “art,” so I decided to apply!
It’s mostly to do with being a creative outlet, but I also love being on SMT because of all my wonderful teammates and hosting events for the community. ♡
Nope!
