Social Media Marketing for Teen Entrepreneur Artist Business Hobby

This unique, semi-private class (maximum 2 learners) is led by a social media marketing consultant/expert with 8+ years of experience.  This is a lecture based class with ample time for questions.  Topics include:
     -  The pros and cons of different social media platforms for marketing/promotion
     -  Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, Youtube, Pinterest, Nextdoor + Tiktok
     -  Why some platforms aren't ideal for small business social media marketing
     -  How "if you're not paying for the product, you are the product" 
     -  Safety considerations and how to avoid issues/protect yourself online
     -  What posts, images, and content to focus on

Please note: This class does not offer a step by step overview on how to post on social media (message me if you need this, as I can offer is as a 1:1 class.)  Rather, it's an overview of the most popular social platforms, with pros and cons for each as well as my takeaways of the best platforms for young social media marketers.  

This class works well with my Teen Entrepreneur class and Intro to Canva class.  If, after taking this class, you'd like to sign up for my 10 week Semester Business Exploration, DM me about a discount for a return student discount!

A note about my classroom guidelines: learners can be wiggly, distracted, and sensory seeking, and that's totally normal! I try to create spaces that are supportive, cozy, and interactive. Because some behaviors can be distracting for classmates, I will share a basic set of guidelines at the beginning of class. I want to make sure that all students are cared for, and reducing on-camera distractions is part of that!
1)  Video on or off (after verification)!  Discussions can be verbal or in *on-topic* chats.
2)  Be respectful; don't interrupt; raise your (physical or digital) hand!  Don't intentionally distract other students (e.g. putting things directly in front of the camera)
3)  Because they can be quite distracting, this class does not allow video filters, avatars, or background changes (except blur).
4)  If necessary, I will move a disruptive student to the waiting room.  If appropriate, I will let them back in for another chance to stay in class respectfully.  If this occurs and you have questions, please reach out to Support.
5)  Any racist, homophobic, body shaming, violent or inappropriate language/images will result in removal from class.  If this happens, you may email outschool@support.com with any questions.  

A few other notes:
-  Please click your meeting link 2-3 minutes early so we can start class on time!  
-  Per OS policy, if there are no students in the classroom 10 minutes after class starts, I will log off and end class.  (If you're having tech issues trying to enter the classroom, just send a message or post in the classroom, so I know you are there!)
-  If you cannot attend, please let me know at least 24 hours before class starts, so I can transfer you to a different section (when possible).  When it might not be possible: if you ask for a transfer for a multiday class the day before it starts, and your transfer will result in the class dropping below the learner minimum, I may not be able to offer a transfer.  But if I can, I will!
-  Class recordings are not automatically shared; they will be made available when possible.  Please note, new OS policy is that a learner can't watch a video until they have attended class, unless they are a verified learner.
-  Learners are encouraged to advocate for how they would like to participate.  If your learner needs adult help (e.g. adult on screen, adult answers for child or facilitates answers, adult takes notes), please let me know in advance per OS parent guidance.
