“Resilient” is the word I’m choosing to embrace for 2020, as so many people have had to embrace resilience on so many levels to survive. Whether you’ve been retrenched, dismissed, or impacted in some way by the COVID-19 pandemic, or are a stay-at-home parent, it’s time to look for a new way of earning a living. Maybe this is it?

The world is transitioning to a new normal, and it’s never been so easy to take control of your life. With so many “free” tools at our disposal, here’s a step-by-step digital marketing course that will teach you how to make the most of these tools, that can be applied to any business or organisation (from small businesses, to larger corporates, and even for fundraising/charities).

SOCIAL MEDIA SUCCESS offers a digital marketing course that covers all aspects of sales and marketing online. The course kicks off with the basics, by first identifying your ideal customer, then identifying why they should buy from you rather than your competitors, and then creating a one-page strategic plan to create compelling content, followed by how to implement your strategy for great results.

After this course you will be able to:

* Do social media the right way.
* Attract your ideal buyers through various channels i.e. Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp etc.
* Create beautiful posters and banners.
* Get more clients and customers.

This course will cover the following:

* Strategy: Learn how to create a detailed social media plan for clients/your own business.
* Content creation: Learn how to create a content calendar and content ideas, as well as how to schedule content.
* Graphics: Learn how to create compelling and engaging graphics using a free and easy-to-use design programme.
* Channels: Get to grips with the different social media channels i.e. Facebook pages and ads, Instagram, and a little LinkedIn.
* Clients: Learn how to find clients using social media when first starting out.
* Reporting: Learn how to do full reporting and how to measure the ROI of social media.
* Results: Learn how to measure social media campaign results for paid ads reporting and what matters.
