What our social media training participants have said:

The Marketing Side delivered a 4-week online training course, Social Media for Community Volunteers, to help our volunteers improve their social media presence, engagement & impact. Jodie was prompt, professional & friendly. She understood our requirements, and adjusted the course content and delivery to suit people with a range of experience and knowledge levels. The training was engaging, relevant, and imparted valuable technical knowledge and practical tasks for participants.

Our volunteers are now enthusiastic and have the skills to create and deliver excellent social media content. We have witnessed a wonderful improvement in the quality and impact of our community groups’ social media presence.

Thank you so much for all your hard work and wonderful presentation. Just wanted you to know how much I am getting from your teaching and mentoring. The course has greatly helped me to offer back up social media support. You help build our resilience in a quality way. Thank you!

Melanie, Sustainable Neighbourhood Group

I am so happy that I decided to do this course. I’m getting so much out of it and loving it.

Diana Lambley, K&M Mechanical Repairs

That social media session was fantastic! Jodie was excellent because she actually researched the social media of the people registered (including the group that I am doing socials for) and she was able to make her information relevant to everyone there. 

Jane, Melbourne

The training sessions just whizzed by. I enjoyed the presentations and was able to put my learning into practice. As a result, my followers have increased and I’m finally feeling confident about connecting with my audience.

Sue Hall, Embrace Aquanatal

I am not the most confident social media person. However, I found it very interesting and beneficial. Jodie, how you facilitated the training was amazing with so much information and great resources.  Thank you.

Tricia, Toronto Area Sustainable Neighbourhood Group

Congratulations on a very informative and interesting training session last night. Thank you to Lake Macquarie for giving this opportunity to volunteers. I was totally engrossed, taking copious notes, scribbling in my book and adding much highlighting!

Rose, a community volunteer

Really liked that Jodie used examples from the group and responded to questions throughout. It was really engaging!

Build a social media training course that suits you with customisable modules:

Creating a Visual Identity

What makes your business unique? Knowing the answer to this question allows you to create a recognisable brand, set yourself apart from your competitors, communicate clearly with potential clients, and build reproducible team culture in your business.

Digital Real Estate Matters

Traditionally, business owners have seen their website as their exclusive digital home. We think of your entire online presence as your digital real estate. All your properties (website, Google Business, social media, LinkedIn) should be cared for, maintained, and built upon if you want the best return on investment.

Understanding Organic Content

Build community, grow loyalty, trust, and share your staff, values and services. Content is king. Smart business owners maximise every opportunity to develop a thriving, active, two-way conversation with their audience by delivering excellent content.

Creating Social Media Content

Good social media gives people a window into your organisation. Quality content invites your followers into your story and your community, where you take them on a journey from first contact, to educated lead, to converted buyer – all while creating trust & social proof.

Understanding Digital Etiquette

Good manners are critical in any situation, so it makes sense that the online space has its own code of common courtesies and customs. In business, as in life, there are consequences when you don’t stay within the boundaries.

Social Media Hacks

The most common complaint about social media? The TIME it takes. It’s true, it does take time to create engaging social media content that will prompt people to action. The good news? With smart planning and a few useful tools, you can  increase efficiency and save precious time.
