Social Media Marketing – Are You Certified?
My Virtual Project is very proud to announce that they have recently become certified as Social Media Marketing Specialists! I took a great course at VAClassroom with Craig Cannings, who is not only an excellent teacher, he’s a very generous and responsive one as well. The class that I attended was informative and fun at the same time and I have made many friendships as a bonus! If you are a Virtual Assistant considering adding Social Media to your repertoire of services, or a new Virtual Assistant who has not yet found their “niche”, I would highly recommend taking Craig’s class. Here is what Craig has to say on Social Media and their class offering:
“At the end of 2008, I had an opportunity to read many blog posts from Internet experts making their predictions for 2009 and guess what was at the top of their list: Social Media Marketing. It is anticipated that Social Media will grow at unprecedented rates in 2009 and beyond as more and more businesses seek to leverage this powerful new marketing channel.
A further prediction is that Social Media Marketing Services will be in very high demand through 2009! Most businesses either lack the time or expertise to effectively carry out all the necessary Social Media Marketing Activities and will be seeking to delegate these tasks to skilled Social Media Marketing Specialists.
VAClassroom.com has recently released a high calibre 7 module training program based on the seven hottest Social Media Marketing Services requested by businesses today including:
- Social Media Strategy and Action Planning
- Social Networking Profile Set-up and Management
- Facebook Marketing
- Twitter Marketing
- Online Video Marketing
- Online Reputation Management
- Social Media Content Distribution
The Social Media Marketing Specialist Training Program offers a self-directed training system for Virtual Assistants and Online Professional seeking to offer these in-demand services to their new and existing client base. The program features 8 modules, 30 videos, an interactive and supportive learning community, comprehensive resource guides, assignments and a Social Media Marketing Specialist Certification.
Access one of 75 seats in the January Program and don’t miss out on one of the most important training opportunities you will take this year.”
As it currently stands, VAClassroom offers the ONLY Social Media Marketing Training Program targeting Service Providers, Consultants and Virtual Assistants.
The Social Media Marketing Specialist Training Program will be open for registration on January 15th at 11am PST. There are only 75 seats available for January’s Program and, believe me, they fill up very fast!
