About Course

Getting started on social media marketing for small businesses can be challenging and time-consuming with zero budget.
Therefore, most small business owners are skeptical about social media marketing and prefer traditional marketing, hoping that their business will grow over time.
The marketplace is always competitive, and while word of mouth and customer recommendations can help get sales, customers will struggle to find your business unless you show up in the places they spend time, like on social media.
Social media has emerged from a space where people keep in touch with long-lost friends and meet new people to retail platforms where people do business.
