Who's that girl?
My name is Esther Jacobs and I am one of the top 10% of social media influencers in the world, just below Madonna and above Angela Merkel. This is surprising, because I am from The Netherlands, which is only a tiny country, and I have a relatively small following. I am certainly not as famous as these ladies.
My secrets to being a top influencer are:
I learned how to be successful offline first, long before social media started. I collected €16 million for charities by figuring out how free publicity works. I have been featured in the media over 500 times and I have been on most of the TV shows in my country various times. I still apply the same principles to everything I do, and it works. In this course, I will show you exactly what to do (and what NOT to do) to make your social media exceptional.
Benefits
This course will teach you what to post, how to add value, to find your own voice and express your core values in everything you do. You will learn to turn average posts into exceptional ones. It has almost 8 hours of expert advice, examples and practical tips that you can start applying immediately.
Your social media posts will be unique and interesting, resulting in more people following you, interacting & sharing your message.
Ideal student
You’re an expert in your area, maybe you have a gift you want to share with the world. (Author, speaker, consultant, coach, freelancer etc).
Anyway, you are good at what you do and people value your work, but somehow your social media does not reflect that (yet).
It could be that you just don’t like social media very much, or don’t know what to post. You probably think you don’t have time for social media, or maybe feel like you don’t want to be in the spotlight. If you feel this way, this course is going to change everything completely.
Maybe you’ve tried outsourcing your social media (or are considering to do so), but you still feel your social media doesn’t really reflect your unique take on things. You want your social media to be engaging and effective.
I designed this course specifically for people who already have some social media experience. It’s not about setting up your account, or the technical stuff, just about finding your own voice and adding value.
Are you ready to make your social media as exceptional as you are?
