It not only connects people worldwide but is also a source of employment. It is common for an organisation to hire separate Social Media Managers as each of the platforms has its own way of sharing information and monetising content.

There are a number of social media influencers in the market who have been making their livelihood just through brand collaborations. They earn money by sharing content with their followers.

Due to this, Mashable had decided to establish a day to honour social media.
