Social media training

[Bloekom]

We need to get a social media strategy going. I am not too illiterate in Facebook, Linkedin etc., but could do with some training in the field. I see a lot of courses on the web (online and class attendance), but need some recommendations on training providers.

We are based in Pretoria - a one day course needed covering basics and hands-on guidance to optimize a FB page/group, Linkedin presence, strategy to incorporate website with social media with input from various people in our company.

SEO training thrown in will be a bonus.

The idea is not to learn from scratch, rather to get a sensible presence and get the tools working for us.

I would appreciate referrals from own experience.

Thanks in advance.

Me and boss were discussing the same thing. 4 or 5 company websites and totally clueless about social media

i think your one day mean 24 hrs. Get a freelancer like me (self referral ) to compile videos or documentation. that's the way. But hey, its a long way to go

There is a trainer who does this over the weekends. Warning does not come cheap R10 k per person.

Exactly this, it aint a day or even a few days, it takes time.

Biggest downfall of most, is that they start the strategy but don't maintain and that is when things fall to pieces.

So before you even begin you need to ensure you have a dedicated resource for this project.

I've started online training for a lot of this. Quite interesting.
