Social Media Writing Skills

If you need to create effective content for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, or other social media, you need this course!

Most of the social media copy out there is poorly written. This is both good and bad, because clean, compelling copy really stands out.

In this course, exclusively tutored by social media and writing expert Tiffany Markman, you’ll learn how to properly leverage social media - whatever your business might be, whatever its size, and wherever you’re based.

This course is for you if ...

…you’ve been too afraid, too busy or not confident enough in your writing skills to get onto social media and start posting!

You will learn:

audience targeting
content and idea development
writing style and tone
call to action writing
how to write for:

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube

what ‘good content’ looks like
dipping into paid advertising
engaging on an ongoing basis
building a community
and some of the writing techniques, tips, tools and tricks that true social media rockstars use to get real results, day in and day out!

“I learned a lot from the course and feel I improved my writing skills for social media. Tiffany was great. She always ... [gave] me a tailored response which I appreciated."

Natasha Cherrie, Social Media Writing Skills

“Quite apart from the writing aspect, Social Media has never been my playground. Have I learnt a lot? Absolutely. There was always a prompt response to my never-ending questions, and great, constructive feedback on my assignments. Tiffany was everything I could have asked for in a tutor and mentor.”

Gisele Crewdson, Social Media Writing Skills

How does the course work?

Detailed class notes covering the content of each module are e-mailed to students. At the end of each module, students will be required to complete three writing exercises.

In total, the course includes several short writing assignments, all of which count towards the final result of the student.

Students will also need to create a presence on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and/or Instagram (either their own or a company’s), if they don’t have these in place already.

Once the writing assignment has been completed, and e-mailed to the lecturer, feedback (and a result) will be sent to the student and the module will be considered complete.
