Last week the group came up with SMART goals for social media. I also polled the class and we selected 3 platforms to focus on this week: Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Many of the participants are already active on these platforms to varying degrees.
Last Week’s Homework
Not mandatory, but recommended:
Participants set up profiles on Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Facebook and spend some time getting familiar with them if they aren’t already. Extra support is available during the one-on-one advising time available after the second workshop.
What to Expect This Week
Strategies to achieve the participants’ specific social media goals, using Pinterest, LinkedIn and Facebook. During the (approximately) 45 minutes we have for each platform, we will discuss:
- Participant Goals – revisit the goals created last week.
- Strategies – identify strategies to achieve these goals from articles and business success stories provided during the workshop.
- Tools – explore the tools available and how they can be used to achieve goals.
- Participant Goals
To gain 25 new connections on LinkedIn by the end of the month.
To reach (100, 200) connections on LinkedIn by the end of the month.
