On what will hopefully be my last day of enforced inactivity, I finished the Social Media Webinar offered by UC Davis via Coursera. Want my advice? Skip this course. I can sum it up for you right here, and honestly I doubt it's anything you don't already know:
- Be professional but not boring. Yeah, thanks so much for that sage advice. Good thing you told me, because I was planning to be a tedious clown. Most of the course was just this advice, worded different ways.
- Have a website. Also obvious! Don't have ads on your website! Um, okay, I wasn't going to.
- Write your "About Me" page with an eye to why readers would want to do business with you. This actually was a new idea for me & I will be rewriting my About Me page, when I rebuild my website on its new hosting platform.
- The rest was all reiterations of #1.
I'm a little irritated that the course was described as "Social Media Content Strategy," because there was absolutely nothing resembling strategy even touched on. You get what you pay for, I guess, and this course was free, so...
Anyway! I'm having my coffee, skipping my morning workout because I'm still feeling a little cautious about the knee, but getting back into the studio today! Less bitching, more making! Thanks for still being here.
