Social Media has taken the marketing world by storm in the last few years. And for good reason; businesses can use their chosen social media platforms to engage more effectively with new customers, increase brand awareness, maximise conversions and enhance their SEO campaigns. Charities can use social media to spread the word about their cause amongst their target audience, whilst enabling those with particularly strong emotional ties to the cause to participate in the conversation. And students can use the ever increasing functionality of these platforms to present themselves to prospective employers in the most professional and distinctive way possible.

And the best thing of all? All this activity needn’t cost you a penny! That’s the power of social media, be it a Facebook fan page, a LinkedIn company profile or chariable group, a 4Square business account or a YouTube video channel – none of this has to cost you anything, that is assuming you are prepared to learn the social media basics. And you’ll be pleased to hear that, for the most part, the basics are very basic indeed!
Of course there may be the occasional task that requires a slightly more advanced level of technical understanding, such as coding a Facebook Fan Page; but you’ll be amazed just how much of social media is well within your abilities!
