Exceptional social media marketing is a key aspect of succeeding online for any business. So whether you're looking to learn this as a skill to grow your own business or to become a social media manager and work for businesses worldwide - this course is for you!

In this course, you will see me go through the exact process of setting up my fake brand - Mags Realty - on all the various social networks. Together, we will write a bio for Mags Realty, and also create captivating graphics, videos and simple animations. We will then write complementary captions and research hashtags so that we can publish powerful social media content in our lessons on X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok and YouTube.

You will also learn how to create a powerful brand, a winning social media strategy, a captivating content calendar and more. We will leverage various AI tools throughout the course to help us create strategies, captions, images and videos so that by the end of the course you feel confident in your understanding of the AI for social media space.

This course is designed in a way that will take you from being a complete beginner in the world of social media to an absolute pro using only free online tools. But some tools we cover will have handy paid features which we’ll discuss.

All of the content you will find here is based on the exact tips and techniques I wish I had known about when I first began working online as a social media manager, combined with the latest knowledge of the rapidly moving social media world.

This is a longer course so I have divided it into the following main sections to make it easier for you to break your learning down into chunks:

Setting Up for Success

  • By the end of this section, you’ll have the confidence that no matter what your current skill level is in this area, you absolutely CAN succeed in becoming an exceptional social media marketer.

Branding and Content Marketing

  • Here, you’ll discover how to develop powerful brands, design beautiful graphics, create captivating videos and write compelling content. You will also learn how to leverage the power of AI for social media.

Social Media Platforms

  • This is where we’ll cover how to use each of the main social platforms for business instead of for personal use and how to get the most out of your time spent on each platform.

Paid Ads

  • In this section of the course we’ll be diving into the world of Facebook and Instagram Ads as well as how you can easily advertise on other social platforms like LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google and YouTube.

Social Media Strategy 

  • You will learn the importance of having a strategy in place and how to develop an invaluable strategy for any business. 

Optimise Your Workflow

  • Get to know handy scheduling tools, project management systems and automation tools like ManyChat which will help you generate more leads for your clients on autopilot.

Measuring Success

  • This is where you’ll learn how to measure the success of your efforts and make adjustments going forward based on what’s working and what isn’t.

What’s Next?

  • In the last section of the course, we’ll dive into understanding your client’s business outside of just their social media content. This is where you’ll supercharge your knowledge and start thinking about how everything fits together in the business and marketing space. 

And of course, you’ll have your handy course guide with links to all the tools and resources we’ll be using throughout the course and a few additional ones I thought might be helpful.

Thank you for wanting to learn from me and I can’t wait to see you on the inside!
