Why Take This Course?

Social media isn’t just about scrolling—It’s where businesses are built, conversations happen, and decisions are made.

In fact, 58% of consumers first discover new businesses on social media, making it a critical platform for visibility. Whether you’re marketing a business, personal brand, or nonprofit, having a strong and strategic presence on the right platforms is essential. When done right, organic social media can amplify your reach, strengthen trust, enhance your reputation, and turn followers into loyal customers. But without a clear strategy, you risk getting lost in the noise. Doing it wrong—or not at all—risks making your brand invisible.

But when you already have many responsibilities on your plate and a small team, how can you be successful in a media-saturated market and make it a repeatable and consistent process?

This one-module workshop provides a concise yet comprehensive overview from a social media manager’s perspective. Social media strategist and instructor Beverley Theresa unpacks how organic social media works, providing actionable insights, real-world examples, and a repeatable framework for success.

In this two-hour workshop, you will learn the best practices for creating an effective social media strategy and executing tactics that get results, understand what the data tells you, and leverage content to build an online presence that strengthens your reputation.

You’ll also get exclusive access to a Social Media Kickstart Workbook, a plug-and-play content calendar template, a comprehensive management checklist to ensure nothing slips through the cracks, a content creation blueprint to streamline your workflow, and much more to set you up for success.

This fundamentals class will walk you through the process and give you the tools to succeed in social media marketing through 2025 and beyond.
