PERFECT FOR...
This programme is ideal if you:
- Are starting a new business
- Have social media accounts but aren't really sure what to do with them
- Struggle to know what to post
- Post occasionally but have no real plan
- Want to understand how AI can make content creation easier
- Are rebranding or changing direction

WHAT EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED?
None.
You don't need to understand algorithms, AI, marketing jargon or know your Reels from your Stories.
We start with what you already know and build from there.
Because the training is 1-to-1, everything is adapted around your business, your confidence and the way you prefer to learn.
No jargon. No waffle. Just practical help that makes social media easier.
WHAT IS COVERED IN THIS COURSE?
The Social Media Starter programme is built around your business. We’ll concentrate on the platforms, content and tools that make sense for you rather than trying to teach you everything at once.
During the programme we can cover:
- Choosing the right social platforms for your business
- Getting your profiles set up and looking professional
- Understanding what to post — and why
- Creating a simple content plan you can actually stick to
- Using AI to help generate ideas and create content
- Creating simple graphics and posts
- Attracting and engaging the right audience
- Scheduling content to save time
- Turning social media attention into enquiries
- Understanding what is working and what isn't
The aim isn't to turn you into a social media expert. It's to get you confident enough to manage your social media without constantly wondering what on earth you're supposed to be doing.

WHO WILL I BE WORKING WITH?
I've been helping businesses with social media since 2007 — back when Facebook business pages were still a novelty and AI wasn't writing anybody's Instagram captions!
Over the years I've worked with hundreds of businesses, from independent shops, salons and restaurants to larger organisations and household names.
But this isn't classroom-style training.
We'll sit down together, look at your business and work through the things you actually need help with. I'll explain everything in plain English, we'll do things together, and you can ask as many questions as you like.
The aim is simple:
by the end of the programme, you understand what you're doing and feel confident doing it.
