Social Media Strategy for Small Businesses
Learn how to make a social media plan to increase revenue for your small business or e-commerce website.
Social media is a powerful tool. If you use it correctly, you can bring your business to places it could never reach before. With social media, you can get instant feedback on your products, stay up-to-date with important industry conversations, and extend visibility of your product way beyond where it currently is. Unfortunately, a massive amount of small business owners do not understand how to use social media correctly, and never take the time to check if they are doing things right. This free course is designed to make sure you are not one of them.
The course will teach you how to integrate social media platforms into your e-commerce website to drive customer awareness of your brand and increase sales. The course begins by describing the need for a dynamic web presence. You will learn how to research and plan for a dynamic website. Next you will learn about the key concepts and considerations relevant to social media, along with the different ways for preparing and sharing social media content. You will then learn how to meaningfully measure social media engagement using platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and blogs.
Utilising social media can be tricky, but worth it. A few small bits of information about where and how to allocate your time to social media will really pay off. And when you think about how short this course is (just 3 hours!) compared to how much time you could be spending poorly on social media without it, the pay off is obvious. So go on, start and stick with your next learning journey today!
