If you’re already using social media for your business or are new to digital marketing, you’ve come to the right place. This program includes six courses written by digital marketing experts from Aptly and Facebook marketing professionals, providing relevant content to prepare you for an entry-level role in social media marketing. After an introduction to digital marketing and the main social media platforms, you’ll learn how to establish an online presence, create posts, grow a following, and manage your social media accounts. You’ll develop skills in creating and managing social media advertising campaigns, and learn how to evaluate the results of your marketing efforts. Most importantly, throughout the program, you’ll practice your new skills through practical projects, and you’ll be able to showcase the results in your portfolio. Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a Coursera Certificate of Participation and a Facebook Certified Digital Marketing Partner certificate, which will demonstrate your skills in social media marketing and using Facebook Ads Manager.
