Certified Social Media Marketing Specialist

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Plaxo, oh my! During the last 90-Day Planning Session I attended, the popular goal that I kept hearing was to learn all about “Social Media Marketing”. Although I was already using Social Media Marketing, I put it on my goals’ list also. But I wanted to take it a little further and get “Certified”. On May 18th, I received my Social Media Marketing Specialist Certification. This course was so much more than I ever imagined! Wow! Awesome!

I remember during the 90-Day Planning Session so many business owners saying that they knew what to do, but didn’t have the time. It definitely let me know that it was a high demand service that I loved to do for myself so why not learn how to do it better, to do it for others and to consult with others on how to implement Social Media Marketing effectively in their businesses.

Yes, Social Media Marketing is here, and it’s here to stay! As a Social Media Marketing Specialist, I love creating Social Media Marketing plans for my clients, implementing the plan and then watching them come back to say, “It really does work!” after the tracking process. Most people that have been in business and networking for some time are having a hard time wrapping their minds around this whole Social Media Marketing “thing”. I can tell you from experience for my business and my clients’ businesses, it really does work when done effectively and correctly. Some get frustrated just from hearing Twitter, but just like with anything else, the first thing that you need is a plan. A plan, along with some other steps, will definitely help a business owner’s Social Media Marketing experience run much smoother! So create a plan and give it a try!
