Social Media Marketing Specialist – The Hottest Service Niche for 2009
Posted by Craig · 6 Comments
One of my personal passions at the end of each year is to read the many posts from Internet Marketing Experts setting their predictions for a coming year! I must have read a dozen or so posts and guess what topped each of their lists as the fastest growth area for 2009…..
Social Media Marketing of course!
Kind of a no brainer, I guess!
Many businesses took all sorts of Social Media Training in 2008, but the reality is that the majority of them are simply too busy to apply what they learned to their marketing game plan. Others are still overwhelmed with the magnitude of Social Media and are not sure where to begin!
As a result, it is not surprising that Social Media Marketing Specialists and Consultants will be in serious demand in 2009 as businesses seek to leverage this powerful new channel.
We actually just finished our first Social Media Marketing Training Program a while back and are impressed at how some of the graduates have already secured new projects and clients as a result of learning such skills as:
- Online Video Marketing
- Social Media Strategy & Action Planning
- Twitter and Facebook Marketing
- Online Reputation Management
- Social Media Content Distribution
- Social Network Profile Management
- Blog Marketing
These seven “in-demand” services actually make up the curriculum for our new Self-directed Social Media Marketing Training Program.
The future is bright for Social Media Marketing Specialists and Consultants in 2009!
I am soooo excited about this new course! I took the internet marketing certification in the summer and can’t say enough about how much it helped me get set up to offer new services to my clients.
Social media is the ‘next great thing’ in the internet world, and I am anxious to learn everything that VAclassroom has on the agenda!
I was one of those lucky ones that just finished this course in December. I was immediately applying these skills in my own business, and with clients. This was a fantastic course! Highly recommend it!
