Social Media Marketing

What You'll Learn

Social media is just as important as advertising and public relations, if not more so, for many organizations. It's a critical component of search engine optimization (SEO) and web marketing campaigns. It's also one of the few legitimate ways your business website can get a massive amount of traffic and links without spending a lot of money. Web marketers who use social media skillfully have a massive competitive advantage over those who don't.


Don't be left in the dark! If you've been hearing a lot about social media (sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube), and you want to understand more about it before diving in deeper, this class is a perfect overview. It will cover the basics of social media from business / marketing perspective, with an emphasis on Facebook - and it will leave you inspired and confident in how to better use social media to promote your own brand or organization.

This workshop will cover:

  • Social media basics and why it's important
  • Facebook
  • Google+
  • Twitter
  • Pinterest
  • YouTube
  • Best Practices

Who Should Take This

Anyone who's curious about using social media to increase visitors to their website but needs a big picture overview of social media sites and strategies.
