The Social Media Schools Master Course
Here are some amazing facts about social media… and why you shouldn’t even think about using sites like Facebook and Twitter in your school until you’ve read every word on this page!
1) Many school administrators and teachers think social media is just a toy, used by students to talk and gossip about school events and happenings. But the truth is, social media is a powerful networking tool used by people of all ages, from all walks of life, in almost every corner of the globe. Sites like Facebook and Twitter are now being used for a number of different purposes. Students now use these sites to find jobs; Teachers use them to network with professionals in other parts of the world; And school administrators use sites like Facebook and Twitter to connect and inspire the people in their local communities.
2) Some schools think mastering the use of social media takes years of practice. They think that before they can ever get started using these new online tools, they’ve got to have backup plans, policies and procedures in place, just in case something goes wrong. But that’s not the case at all! In fact, new schools are jumping on the social media bandwagon every day. And the schools that continue to wait on the sidelines are missing out on one of the biggest and fastest ways of attracting new students, saving money, and gaining the trust and credibility of their community.
3) You don’t have to be an Internet guru to run social media sites like Facebook and Twitter in your school. Social networking websites have been designed so almost anyone can use these new online tools to communicate, educate and inspire the people in their network. If you can navigate a web browser or create a document in your favorite word processor, you can succeed with social media in your school.
4) Most people think social media use takes a huge amount of time and that the act of keeping up with all that is being said about you and your school is a full time job. Yes, it’s true that some people choose to spend almost all their time on social media websites… and yes, the ever-changing nature of social media makes it difficult to keep track of the latest updates and changes… but with a little self-control, the right information, and a few simple tricks for automating your school’s social media use, a single person in your organization could be running all the social media sites your school needs in less than 15 minutes per day!
The most difficult part about succeeding with social media is knowing what information is crucial for communicating with the people who are important to you… and which information is simply superfluous.
But if you know and understand “the rules” that govern sites like Facebook and Twitter, then you stand a much greater chance of succeeding in the world of social media.
Here’s the thing: Social media is a fast, free and easy way of reaching the parents, teachers, students and staff members in your community… but if you go out unprepared and try and use these new tools without understanding “the rules” of social media use, your community could grow to resent you and your social media use could come to an end before you were ever given a chance to succeed.
I’ve seen this happen time and time again with schools around the world. They jump into the social media game, only to quit a few days later because they received negative feedback from their community when they made some rookie mistakes when attempting to communicate online.
But that doesn’t have to happen to you!
When you know what your goals are, how to use these new online tools, understand the rules of social media use, and respect the online community, you stand a much greater chance of succeeding in the social media world.
What many school administrators don’t realize about social media use is that social media is not really about pumping your community with announcements and press releases. Instead, it’s about finding out what your community really wants and then using social media sites to deliver that information in a way that is ideal for your parents, teachers and students.
I know all this, because…
I’ve been working with schools using social media as a communication tool for over 2 years!
In that time, I’ve developed simple foolproof ’strategies’ for succeeding with social media use in the schools. And best of all, I’ve laid out the information I’ve gained in a way that is down to earth, easy to understand, and even easier to execute.
I’ve compiled all my knowledge into an easy to follow, six-module course called “The Social Media Schools Master Course.”
This information is guaranteed to teach you everything you need to know about communicating with your community through sites like Facebook and Twitter and is designed to greatly reduce the risk that parents, teachers, students and community members will turn on you because you didn’t understand “the rules” that govern these new online tools.
I know that’s a bold promise and it might sound a little “over the top” …but it’s true, and I can back up every word.
LISTEN: There are 3 essential things you need to know about social media use for your school:
1. Which social media sites you use
2. How to go about using these new online tools to communicate with the parents, teachers, and students in your community
3. How to gain the trust and credibility of your community by listening to what they want… and then delivering it to them!
“The Social Media Schools Master Course” covers all of this, and a lot more. And when you get into it, you’ll be BLOWN AWAY with how simple it really is to use these new social media tools to communicate, inspire and build relationships with the people in your community.
Here Are Three Good Reasons To Believe Me When I Tell You Social Media Use Can Forever Change The Way You Communicate With The People In Your Community
ONE: Parents, teachers, students and community members are already using social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, so it only makes sense that you would want to use these new sites to network, inspire and stay in touch with the people in your community. I’ve been using and succeeding with social media in my own business for a number of years now… and while I still get excited from a positive social media response, I get even more excited when I can help a school or small business succeed with these new online tools as well!
TWO: Over the past three months, over 1,857 people have downloaded my Social Media Schools Education & Technology Manifesto, a 31-page document highlighting my thoughts and ideas on the future of social media use in the schools. This document is based on my last two years of work and research with schools currently using social media and Internet technologies to communicate with their local community members.
THREE: I’m the only person in the social media world with a down to earth, easy to understand, and step-by-step guide to social media use aimed at school administrators looking to communicate and inspire their local communities.
The bottom line is this:
* If you’ve attempted to use social media in the past and didn’t get the kind of feedback you were hoping for, the information I have available for you in The Social Media Schools Master Course will work for you.
* If you are totally new to social media and have no idea how to plan, prepare for, or execute a social media campaign for your school, The Social Media Schools Master Course is for you.
* If you’re thinking about using social media in your school and you want to make sure you start out on the right foot, this Course is for you.
Just check out what some of my readers are saying about the information I make available in “The Social Media Schools Master Course”:
Your information has been a huge help for me – a beginning social media user. The information I have received has been invaluable, not only in preparation, but in building my confidence to a level where I know I can use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter with gusto. Your willingness to personally respond to my questions has led me to view you and your course as one of my most important social media resources for schools looking to use these new online communication tools.

In “The Social Media Schools Master Course” I will teach you my time-tested strategies for social media success.
Of course, I also provide step-by-step instructions on every step of the social media process. So, you’ll have complete peace of mind knowing that once you create your various social media accounts and start interacting with the parents, teachers and students in your community, you will not only know what you are doing, but what you should expect along the way.
Now that I have actually had an opportunity to put your wisdom to use in my school, I can say that all the information you have given is useful. In particular the information on what type of material our school should and should not share was extremely helpful. Our school’s success online has been in large part due to your helpful information! In fact, I was just mentioning your site to a co-worker of mine who is totally new to Facebook. I told her she should check it out because your information is very good and practical. Us newbies need people like you!

This information has helped countless schools around the world succeed with social media use… and I know it will work for you too!
The reason you are going to like “The Social Media Schools Master Course” so much is simple:
The Information Works!
…and there’s nothing like it available. Not in bookstores, at Amazon.com, or even on the Internet.
See, what most schools don’t realize is that using sites like Facebook and Twitter is actually very simple. You just need to know what to do, how to do it, and what to expect once you do finally start to use these new online tools in your community.
Even if you’re a total beginner and haven’t got a clue where to start, don’t fret. When I started using social media to communicate with my clients and business prospects I had to start at the very beginning, just like you. I made a lot of mistakes, got some negative feedback from my followers, and had I known then what I know now, my first few months of social media use would have been so much more enjoyable.
But you don’t have to make the same mistakes I did… because the information I have for you here will ensure you don’t make those same mistakes.
