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?

Hello my name is Sofia, I have been uploading to instagram since I was about 15 up until now and I am 23. I have started uploading to tiktok in 2020 and just recently started uploading videos to youtube last year in 2022. I'm not as cnsistent as I could be but thats only because I feel like I upload the same type of content that doesn't have much depth which I would like to start doing. I am currently a senior in my undergrad studying arts, technology and emerging communications. In my opinion I would say that tiktok, youtube and instagram are the most effective social media channels to use for promootion because that where the audience can connect with the content creator. The most memorable social media update was when youtubee allowed us too create reels. I am hoping to connect with other content creators and learn how to improve my plan to create a buisness and market it on social media.

Hey all you hard working creators! My name is Brit. I currently freelance in the social media content copywriting and creation world. However, I'm also starting a new business here soon and am seeking to improve my digital marketing skills in all areas: social media, email marketing, SEO, website, etc. Marketing is not my strongsuit when it comes to business, but I know it's key to growing my new business. I'm hoping to connect with you all, learn from you all, and just be part of a community as we're all seeking to grow ourselves and our careers.

I honestly love Instagram to promote contect, as it's very visual and enrapturing. Though other platforms allow for visual aesthetics and videos, I personally find Instagram more enjoyable. Facebook is too overwhelming for me, although I know it's still a valuable resource for connection. And Twitter (or 'X' now) is great for sharing thoughts and opinons.

Though Pinterest is not technically a social media platform, I still find this one very useful as well in my previous endeavors.

It's good to meet you all and I hope you all reach your goals!

Hello, my name is Michelle and i´m currently studing Marketing. To respond to the question what´s the most effective channel of distribution, i think that Tick Tock has become one of the most used channels of promotion because they sell you the not just the product but alse de value of the brand making it look "organic". 

From this study group i hope that i can learn more about social media and expand my creativity and help others in the best way that i can.

Hi Mich, you're right. TikTok can be a very powerful tool for your audience. Still, I recommend you do an audience study and develop a buyer persona before deciding on what SM is best for your market. TikTok is not bad, but each SM platform has its pros and cons and knowing your audience should make you more capable at finding out what's best for your audience. TikTok may not be the best SM for you if you have a market that's more involved with seniors. DM me if you have queries.

Hello. My name is Kellae. I am in the education industry. I help students discover their true academic potential through academic coaching. I am trying to learn how to market on social media to grow my email list. I think Facebook is the ideal platform to find parents looking to help their children excel in school. I am not familiar with most of the other social media platforms. However, I believe FB has a more mature audience. Looking forward to learning with everyone!

HI Kellae. Welcome to the club.

It's great you're aware of your audience. That's a start. Now, I would
recommend you do a deeper study on what particular social media platform
would suit it best.

I understand FB is your fave right now. And it's understandable with the
kind of clout the SM platform has. But you could be more effective using
another. Who knows? That's where a thorough study would come in.

Hello Everyone!

My current role in the company has changed and I will now be a Travel Agent and a Social Media marketer for Wild Greens Leisure. I do not have any real experience in the field and need to start somewhere. So why not here 🙂 

In my opinion, the best way to get your business out there is through Facebook which gets lots of traffic and impressions.

In doing this course I am hoping to learn and gain insights into the latest trends on the Meta platforms and how they can assist in creating better content for my brand. I have been interested in the digital marketing space but never have had the opportunity to learn more about it. I also want to spend time with like-minded people and gain knowledge from them to help further my brand.

Hello Avan, FB is nice but if you really want to give your audience justice, I recommend you do a market study and come up with a buyer's persona first. Then, fit that persona to the rightful SM platform. FB is neat but if your audience aren't there, it can be futile.

I am currently working as the CEO of our organic herbs brand, leading a team of certified herbalists and microbiologists. While my background is in microbiology and organic formulation, I also have a keen interest in digital marketing and want to actively participate in the marketing efforts for our brand. Additionally, I am passionate about teaching others in our team and beyond about digital marketing strategies.

Our company operates in the herbal and organic wellness industry, specializing in creating solutions for common health issues using natural herbs and formulations.

In my opinion, the most effective social media channel for promotion in our industry would likely be Instagram. This platform is visually-oriented, allowing us to showcase our organic herbs and their benefits through captivating images and stories. Instagram also has a strong community of health and wellness enthusiasts, making it an ideal place to engage with our target audience.

The last memorable social media update I recall from a company was a YouTube video series by a skincare brand. They launched a "Behind the Scenes" series that took viewers into their production facility, highlighting their commitment to quality and transparency. 

In this study group, I hope to gain insights into the latest trends and best practices in digital marketing, especially as it pertains to promoting organic herbs and wellness products. I also want to collaborate with like-minded professionals and share my knowledge with others who are interested in learning about digital marketing strategies in the herbal industry.
