Social Media Marketing Class Helps Marketers and Business Owners Keep Up With Changes


Portland, Oregon (PRWEB) October 15, 2011

Social Media has a fast-paced, changing landscape and it is difficult to keep up with all of the changes that happen within the social media platforms. That is why Search Engine Academy Northwest has developed the six-hour social media marketing class, Leveraging Linked In, Facebook and Twitter.

Leveraging Linked In, Facebook and Twitter begins with a basic overview of the Social Media Landscape and immediately dives into a variety of tools, strategies and tactics that can help decrease the overwhelm sometimes felt by marketers and business owners when developing and implementing a social media marketing plan.

Because Social Media is in a constant state of flux, this class is revised only days prior to the actual class to capture the latest updates which helps participants stay the most current as they possibly can with social media marketing techniques.

Topics included in this six-hour social media marketing class include:


Understanding what social media is and how it can help grow your business
Developing Goals and Strategies for your Social Media Campaign
Working hands on with the big three platforms: Linked In, Facebook and Twitter

In Facebook students will:

Learn how to set up an RSS Feed from your Blog to Facebook

And then students will learn about Twitter by:
