Social Media and Branding

Build a Brand and Social Media Presence

Are you looking to become self-employed or have plans to start your own online PT business? We understand how daunting social media and marketing can be, especially in a world full of influencers who appear to have 'completed it'.  But what if you could learn from people who have actually done it, the social media experts and fitness influencers who have built an organic online presence, and social following that reaches millions?

Throughout this course, you will learn to identify and define your most important USP (unique selling point), the type of audience you want to target and the client you want to attract, then how you can leverage specific social media channels to engage them in the right way and at the right time.

Course Overview

The most successful businesses on social media all have one thing in common; a loyal community of customers who champion their brand. This is because social proof marketing remains one of the most cost-effective and efficient ways to grow your business. As the saying goes there is no better advert than a happy customer. Throughout this course, we will explore the topic of how to develop a loyal and engaged customer base and how these customers can help you take your social media to the next level.

You will have access to industry professionals with real-world experience who are eager to share with you a number of best practices and their wealth of experience. You will also receive additional resources that will prove useful as you progress through the course. You won’t need to spend your time scanning the web for social media plans, posting schedules or audience growth hacks, everything you need will be provided as part of this course.
