On Cyber Monday I was alerted to a great deal on Udemy.com. ALL their courses were $10. I bought eight of them ranging from graphic design, outsources, eBook course and overall marketing. I decided to start with Instagram course because it was only 4.5 hours long. I have already taken Chalene Johnson’s ‘Instagram Impact’ course which I loved. She’s very smart, funny and concise. But since I plan to focus mainly on Instagram as my social media of choice, I want to become an expert so I can deliver THE BEST content.
This course pictured is excellent. He takes students from absolute beginner level to advanced in REAL TIME using “live” demonstrations. Pretty amazing.
He also gives you some great websites and apps to use to track and market. For example, I am sure you have heard of Iconosquare but have you heard of “tags for likes”? It shows you the most popular hashtags to incorporate in your posting along with ones you create (adding popular plus unique to get the most views).
He also shows you a few really great ways to find targeted customers. What Chalene Johnson calls “lifers”, people you want as your customers. Not random people. Since I want to build an authentic business with targeted customers that I want to help, I found this very helpful.
Bottom line: If you are new to Instagram or a seasoned veteran, take a look at Udemy’s Instagram courses. They even offer free ones. I would recommend the one I posted above because it’s satisfied my desire to learn about IG and I have learned the sociological and psychological aspects as well.
