About the Course

So you’ve decided to market through your member profile. Awesome! You can promote both yourself and your brand or organisation using your personal profile, so there’s plenty to learn.

We’ll start by looking at building your connections. Who should you connect with? How do you find your target audience on LinkedIn, if you’re not connected with them yet? We’ll show you how. We’ll give you top tips for promoting your profile off-platform, as well.

Next, we’ll look at how you can market by publishing content. We will show you which content types are best for each buyer/audience stage, and you’ll get to see examples in action. How often should you post? The jury’s out on that one, but we’ve got a few different expert opinions, so you can weigh them up and decide for yourself.

We’ll also look at tags, hashtags, articles, engaging with your feed, messaging connections, and more, so you’re going to get a total 360 on how to market with your member profile. Let’s get going!

If it wasn't for Social Media College I wouldn't be sitting where I am today: owning my own successful business and making my work life fit in so seamlessly with my family and personal life. So thanks SMC, I couldn't have done it without you.

I wouldn’t have been able to achieve the results I have without knowing what to do. Social Media College gave me all the foundations for that. I couldn't have set up my agency without SMC. I would still be in my job. I probably would have had a stroke by now from high blood pressure! I have to pinch myself every day now. I'm really stoked.

I’m building a business which has more and more demand every day and I’m really lucky that I can work it completely around my family. SMC gave me the structure and confidence to present to clients.
