Making a start with social media (Part 1: Exploring social media)

Making a start with social media

So, it’s time to show an interest in social media but where do you start and why should you start!

This course has been designed to walk you through the internet’s most popular social media platforms and help you to select the social media platform/s which will work for you.  Whether you’re just wanting to keep up with the times, catch up with family and friends, promote yourself to potential employers, check current design trends, or publish your first blog, there is a social media platform which will work for you.

Navigating the world of social media may seem daunting right now, but this course is designed to help you to make a start.  It’s fun too!

There are so many social media platforms to select from and not all will be suitable for you. We will:

• demonstrate the features and benefits of the most popular platforms work, so you can decide which is the most suitable for you
• show you how to set up account and profile for your chosen social media platform
• show you how to manage and communicate using the platform you select.

The course consists of a series of videos to introduce you to the world of social media.  Then you can select the platform you would like to use and make a start to set up your profile.  You will have the choice of: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X (Twitter) or Pinterest.

If you need help along the way, you can book an hour’s private coaching session at no additional cost.

Please note that this course assumes that you have very little experience participating with social media but that you have access to, and can operate, a computer.  You will need access to a reliable computer or laptop with internet access, camera and microphone.
