New to the Social Media Study Group? Introduce yourself here ‌⬇️‌

[crystalking]

One of the best ways to learn social media marketing is by implementing strategies and sharing ideas with other social media practitioners, just like you.

That’s why we’re so excited to create this community of social media marketers to learn and grow better together!

To get started, say hello and introduce yourself. Here are some questions to help you get started:

• What's your current role?
• What industry do you currently work in?
• In your opinion, what's the most effective social media channel to use for promotion (and why)?
• What's the last memorable social media update you remember from a company (feel free to share a link to it as well)?
• What are you hoping to get out of this study group?

[RavSri]

I'm Rav Sri Panditharathne, originally from Sri Lanka and residing in Australia since 2004. I hold a Diploma in IT, which I completed in 2006, and launched my website design business in 2008. Along the way, I also pursued studies in business and marketing.

In 2010, I founded Sri Lanka Directory, a publication catering to the Sri Lankan community in Australia. For over 12 years, this platform has been a trusted resource. Today, SriLankaDirectory.com has evolved into a global platform where Sri Lankans worldwide can list their businesses or organizations and promote them to a global Sri Lankan audience. Additionally, we provide extensive social media marketing services for our clients through this platform.

In 2020, I joined a leading real estate company in Australia as a Real Estate Agent representative. That same year, I won the prestigious Marketer of the Year award from the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) and became a finalist for the Marketer of the Year award from the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) in 2023.

With over 20 years of experience in sales and marketing, I’ve been an entrepreneur since 2001. In 2020, I launched Australia's first-ever online multicultural gift store, Hamperor.com.au. My portfolio of businesses also includes AdagraPro.com.au, Eseva.lk, Ravs.com.au, and TheSriLankaGuide.info.

Through my diverse ventures, I remain committed to innovation, community engagement, and creating meaningful opportunities for growth.

Hi,

I'm Arshad Ali, and I recently signed up for the Digital Marketing course via HubSpot Academy. While I’m excited to begin, I wanted to get some insights from those who may have completed this or similar courses.

Specifically:

1. Is the course genuinely value-adding? Have you found the content practical and applicable in real-world marketing scenarios?

2. Are the subsequent learning pathways worth exploring? Do they build on the fundamentals effectively?

3. Do you have any tips for successfully and efficiently completing the course? For example, time management, module prioritization, or how to retain and apply the learnings better?

Thanks in advance for your advice and guidance! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

egards,

[SDanilson]

Hello!

I am the operations manager for a small real estate law firm in Iowa!

As far as the most effective platform for promotion, I think it varies based on your target market.  The older crowd seems to be more into Facebook, where the younger crowd are on apps like IG or Tik Tok.

I'm hoping to learn how to effectively use paid advertising in FB and IG to help grow our client base.

My name is Laurence, and I decides to join the HubSpot community to deepen my knowledge of Digital Marketing.

Sadly, my position (Digital Marketing Specialist) is getting eliminated at the end of the month (amongst many others), so time to get some new certificates under my belt, and revamp my resume!

Looking forward to interacting with the group.
