A few weeks back I reviewed 2 awesome e-books by my friend and biz savvy lady, Jess Van Den, that showed me how to use Twitter and Facebook as a creative entrepreneur. I’m really happy to announce that she just came out with something even cooler! A course that covers everything in the two books PLUS Jess’s two secret traffic weapons AND 3 Q&A sessions with Jess to answer every question you have about social media. Sounds cool, right?

What I loved about it!
This 6 week course not only explains how to set up and run accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Flickr, and a blog but how to market effectively with them in just minutes a day? (Don’t worry, she shows you how to do all of them so that you can then decide which ones fit YOU best). She really covers all the basics and explains the purpose and use behind each one. I also learned the best ways to establish trust and a sense of authenticity on each of the platforms.
What makes Jess’s course unique?
She covers them all! By touching on all the major social media sites, Jess helped me decide which ones I loved and which ones I could care less about (sorry Flickr and Facebook). I believed that I needed to be on all the platforms (which took way too much time!) or none of them (because it took too much time and I got frustrated). Jess shattered that belief and showed me how effective social media marketing can be done in minutes a day.
Best of the best?
Videos and Q&As. I’m a visual learner so the how-do video tutorials helped me immensely. The 3 Q&A sessions were also extremely helpful because I could get all of my questions answered while getting to know my fellow classmates. Jess is an amazing teacher!
You’re probably wondering if this course is really for you. In Jess’s own words, “This course is for you if you want to get involved in social media but don’t know how to go about it. Or, this course is for you if you’ve given it a go in the past (me!) but given into confusion or frustration and struggled to build a community and get quality interaction.” If you’re still unsure, Jess has a great video on her FAQ page. The course launches January 30th so if you pledged to make 2012 the year you conquered social media, check out Crafty and Connected! And if you’d prefer to read rather than take a course, Jess’s books on Twitter and Facebook are still available!
