Introduction to Social Media for Business

2-days, $995, 2 Credits.

It's pretty fair to say that social media has the business world stumped.

Over 80 percent of businesses are not seeing a direct ROI from their current social media efforts, but more and more evidence is showing that those businesses are missing out on tremendous impacts from social media because they simply don't understand how to make it work for them, or even where they should be concentrating their efforts and marketing dollars.

That's no big secret, but when business people look at social media, they see relatively simple tools which should not be all that hard to use to achieve results, so there is a big gap between expectations and results.

Here's why - with the hundreds of thousands of social networks out there, each one contributes a set of small details to how to construct and execute a social media campaign successfully. When you combine all those details together, the social media suddenly seems very complicated and messy.

The reality though, is that social media does have some fairly standard rules for success, and by becoming familiar with what your real options are, what successful strategies look like and how you can monitor your progress in very real data, you can get solid returns on your social marketing investments.

When you consider that Forbes has stated that in the next few years every business will be a media business based on the fact that they will be much more heavily engaged in social media, online radio and online TV, all sharing engaging content, there is already a rush by businesses to get up to speed on this subject.

One recent survey showed that 82% of all American businesses plan to make major investments in social media in the next 6-12 months. Before your business makes that investment, make this one and learn what you need to know to make sure your social media budget is spent achieving your goals.
