Why The Social Media Boot Camp?
Content marketing is a primary key to social media success. Content (articles, conversations, posts, updates, images, audio, video) tells the world who you are, what you can do for them, and why you’re interesting.
Content is the catalyst for engagement. No wonder content marketing skills are so much in demand today!
Now that Facebook is not sending your status updates to your fans, and is blocking promotional posts, you have to get your content marketing right. Which platforms will give you better viral potential? How do you know which to use, and how to get the most out of them?
You need to craft a social content strategy so you can get real results from your marketing. And you need to know the hints, tips, and inside secrets so you can get a whole lot more impact in a lot less time.
Godfrey is breathtakingly brilliant on social media strategy. He is a limitless source of deep insights as well as being helpful and supportive. He revolutionised my social media marketing approach with fantastic results. James Forson, The Stakeholder Engagement Guy
