Look folks, the vast majority of social media marketing advice online is geared for big business. You'll see examples with large companies like Oreo, Taco Bell, and Mountain Dew.
Those examples don't help you learn! Big businesses have social media teams, production teams, and animation teams. You don’t!

The course is structured by social media platform. We'll do a deep dive on 4 of the accounts I see business owners use the most for success. They are Facebook, LinkedIn YouTube, Instagram.
**On these 4 platforms we'll use a fictitious business to show you how to set up accounts from scratch and make your first post. You won't get this anywhere else folks! Awesomeness!
We’ll also discuss:
- Why to choose that platform
- Terminology
- How-to set up your account
- How-to make your first post
- Best practices for success
The other 4 social media accounts are Twitter, Pinterest, Snapchat, and Google+. For these platforms we'll discuss:
- Why to choose that platform, and
- Best practices for success
These platform's aren’t discussed as in depth because they are more niche. The vast majority of entrepreneurs and small business owners won't be using these platforms to start and grow their social media presence and business.
