Getting Started

Social media success doesn’t happen overnight, it takes the proper training (you’re in the right place) along with the right people and strategy. With your membership you have access to a tremendous amount of content that will be added to on an ongoing basis. Before you jump into the training it’s important that you familiarize yourself with the site. Below you is our quick start guide.

Step 1::

With your membership you have access to a members only community. A community of people dedicated to your success. While I (David Johnson) will be available to answer questions in the community forum, other members will also have the ability to jump in and give you their own perspective. Yes, we are going to be using the power of social media to help you succeed with social media! So, the first step is to fill out your profile HERE.

Step 2::

It’s time to tell us who you are by introducing yourself in the forum. We have a special section reserved just for introductions, you can find it HERE. Remember, you can tell us as little or as much about yourself as you’d like.

Step 3::

You will notice, in the right hand sidebar, a link with a little arrow that says Social Media Blueprint: Core, this is where your training will begin. Mousing over that link will give you the option for both text and video. I urge you, no I implore you, to go through both training courses. While there will be some overlap, you will gain the most insight by going through both. I suggest going through the text first, then follow it up by going through all of the videos.

Once you’ve gone through Core it’s time to dive into the Social Add-Ons. In this section I’ll be going over specific social networks, offer up tutorials on everything from installing a blog to creating a Facebook landing page, and give you further insights into the wonderful world of social marketing.
