If you are in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane I am teaching some one day hands on courses on social media campaigns, Facebook and Twitter, also 1/2 day courses on LinkedIn or Google Plus. Handson means the practical exercises are computer based (we have a lab).  Please forward this (Share on Facebook, Tweet it, email, whatevs ) to anyone you think might be interested?  If you want to do a course with me later on, want early bird pricing, or just general tips on social media, you can also signup for my enewsletter (stuff that doesn’t make it on to the blog).

Social Media Campaign (one day course)

We cover the basis of a 5-step social media campaign and then use the computers to gain hands on practical use of social media tactics and tools including Facebook, Twitter, a monitoring station and a social media website. which the student can continue to use after the course. This is very intensive course.

Google Plus For Business (Morning Course)

We cover the basics of the service and then use the computers to gain hands on practical use of Google Plus for both Personal but mainly Business use, which the student can continue to use after the course. This is a very intensive course on the world’s fastest growing social network from Google. Computer access is restricted to 12 people so places are limited in this course.  Google Plus reached 49 million members (Dec 2011) in only a few months! And more interestingly, Google Plus is set to reach 400 million members during 2012. Facebook has around 800 million members – why not spend an afternoon learning about Google Plus

LinkedIn for Business (Afternoon Course)

We cover the basics of the service and then use the computers to gain hands on practical use of LinkedIn for both Professional but mainly Company use, which the student can continue to use after the course. This is a very intensive course on the world’s largest professional social network, LinkedIn. Computer access is restricted to 12 people so places are limited in this course. LinkedIn is the truly business social network and suitable for business to business (accountants, lawyers, consultants) as well as recruiters and career people. LinkedIn has 100 million members worldwide and over a million Australians active on it monthly – wy not spend an morning learning about LinkedIN?
