The Learning Social Media By Doing Course is a follow up course to the popular Social Media Starter Course developed and delivered by Real Fresh TV.

Designed to provide a structured environment for practising some of the skills learnt during the Social Media Starter Course, it’s a more 'hands on two hour workshop than it’s ‘theoretical precedent’ involving practical problem solving using social media tools like Twitter.

Attendees will need:

•    A wifi-enabled laptop
•    An account on one of the following social media platforms:
    o    Twitter
    o    WordPress.com
    o    Blogger.com
    o    Typepad.com

Expect an interactive two hours in which your understanding and experience of social media is stretched beyond what you thought possible!

The Learning Social Media By Doing Course is a carefully structured training session in which you collaborate with other attendees to put together a social media campaign, track results and share outcomes with a web panel comprising other social media users around the world.
