Getting back into working in social media

[SPenn-Simkins]

Hi everyone, I used to work in social media, managing social media accounts a couple of years ago. But the client I was working for said they couldn't afford to pay me anymore. I then decided I'll try and get into freelance writing. But I felt like it was more difficult than I thought it would be. So now I've decided I want to get back into working in social media. Has anyone got any tips, tricks or advice on how to get back into it when you've been out of it for a couple of years? Also if there's anything that can help build up my confidence? I guess doing Hubspot's free courses would be a start. Thanks in advance!

Hi Lorraine, 

Thanks for suggesting Rachel Pedersen's Social Media University. I've signed up to her course now and requested to join her Facebook group. Like you said she has a complete goldmine of information with Youtube videos, free PDF downloads and a podcast!

I also found Youtube videos from Joanna Yung and Latasha James helpful as well.

Best wishes
