5 Steps of a Social Media Campaign; Facebook, Twitter, Blogging, Monitoring and Measurement.

STEP BY STEP: Facebook, Twitter & Blog/Website Also Monitoring, Engagement & Measurement of a Social Media Campaign

This is a Corporate course for Business, Government and Not for Profits: Perhaps you’ve got a Facebook Page and a Twitter account and want to build more Likes/Followers or get more Engagement? Or your social media is going great guns but your website sits there unloved and not integrated? You aren’t sure what to post on Facebook and Twitter and when – plus measuring seems pretty difficult, with either too much analytics (Facebook Insights) or not enough (Twitter, Instagram etc)? You’d like to know more about monitoring panels and 3rd party tools but where to start? Building a blog and writing on it seems time consuming and tricky? This course takes you through step by step

  • setting up monitoring panels (check the community groups),
  • building a brand voice and content strategy (what to say),
  • create discussion lists and hashtags and engagement strategies for Facebook Optimization (FBO) and Twitter Timelines.
  • You will create a blog or business social media newsroom, change the theme, header, write articles and include videos on it.
  • Then integrate the whole lot (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blog) into a Call To Action campaign complete with measuring tools.

This is a great little course to get started on social media in a meaningful way or as a way to upskill from a basic Facebook Page or Twitter that needs more subscribers, engagement and reach.

9 Step Social Media Strategy for Organisations

—9 Steps to Writing & Implementing a SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY incl Facebook & Twitter for Marketing Public Relations & Comms

This is a Corporate course for Business, Government and Not for Profits: Many Marketing and Public Relations professionals want more structure than simply competitions and promotions on Facebook & Twitter and broadcasting content on LinkedIn – this course will enable you to create a great social media strategy for your own business and your clients that includes: (Don’t forget to click HD on the videos!)

  • why you are on social media & why customers would want to connect with you
  • what platforms you (and your clients) should use,
  • how to find and engage with key influencers and bloggers,
  • creating campaigns from monitoring platforms to measurement
  • a conversation diary and content calendar including an downloadable doc.
  • developing a voice in social & what to say,
  • as well as finding and connecting with target markets (Customer Avatars) across social platforms
  • and integrating websites and microsites with social.

INCLUDES: A choice of 4 project briefs for you to practice your strategy development on, Homework for each section with a discussion area to ask questions and receive answers.

NOTE one-on-one session with me when you complete the course and your strategy to have it reviewed and key points assessed. Download the strategy guideline document and the strategy template to fill in. 30 Day Money Back Guarantee and Lifetime Access – use the Udemy iphone or Android app and download the lectures to complete the course offline e.g. on a plane.

This course was part of the PRIA (Public Relations Institute of Australia) series of workshops.

Each lecture takes you through a step of the framework with theory, a case study and homework based around a pitch document (brief). This course is invaluable for a public relations or communications professional looking to develop and implement strategies rather than just “run a Facebook Page”, those re-entering the workforce or repositioning to take on more social media responsibilities as part of their usual role. Small businesses will find the overall strategy useful to framework their current Facebook and Twitter activities.

Social Media Toolbox: Schedule, Autofollow and Automation

–Save time with social media tools to Automate & Schedule content, Followers, time Facebook Twitter Google Plus LinkedIn

This is a Corporate course for Business, Government and Not for Profits: Save Time: Learn about autoposting and autoscheduling, natively within Facebook & Twitter as well investigate which social media dashboards are best for automation – Hootsuite, Sprout Social and Buffer. Play with automation software combined with social media dashboards to autofollow and unfollow on Twitter. Work around challenges of automating Google Plus. Includes an advanced spreadsheet conversation calendar lecture. Create bitmarks & extensions for RSS, Do Share and Recipes for If This Then That. Recommended for experienced social media practitioners within organisations, Corporate Government, Not for Profits and small business.

This course uses many free (e.g. IFTT) freemium (Hootsuite) and low monthly fee tools (meetedgar). We do NOT look at the $40,000 a month tools (use your account manager to give you free training if you are paying that much!). Please do not buy ALL the tools mentioned here – investigate a few and use a mix of free to $25 a month, ones.

Facebook recently (May 2015) changed the API (the way tools talk to Facebook) and removed access to posting to groups you are NOT an admin of. I am investigating other solutions, but at the moment NO tool has access to automate posting to a group where you are a member, not an Admin.
