About the Course

Posting on social media is all about precision. We could post randomly on our social accounts and lap up any likes or comments we get, but as we saw in previous modules, we can be much more intentional and effective than this!

We already know the importance of aligning our social strategy with our business strategy and our audience, and the next step is to make sure we have a content plan in place that reflects this.

Your content needs to be well-thought-out, on the right platform, reaching the right audience, with measurable targets to track its success. We are going to show you how you can create engaging content, with the least amount of effort, that takes your customers through each stage of the buyer/audience funnel.

Your content will be created, curated, or co-created, and it needs to do one (or more) of the following:

  • Entertain
  • Educate
  • Inspire

This course takes you through all the elements that contribute to strategy. By the end, you will be an expert at creating engaging content that can be repurposed, resized and reframed across a variety of social platforms.

Let’s get started!

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.
