Canada’s meeting place for freelance writers and creators

Established 2010

You've probably been told or felt some pressure as a freelancer to create and maintain a social media presence to help you find work and promote the work you have. Are you getting the most out of your time spent on these platforms?

In this hour-long session, we'll look at the different social networks and which ones may be important for you to participate in, we'll talk about some best practices for those platforms, and then have an extensive Q&A to help answer all your social media questions!

Our Presenter:

Rebecca Coleman teaches Social Media Marketing at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), and is a Social MediaStrategist. She is also a blogger and the published author of two cookbooks, and regularly contributes to the GoDaddy Marketing Blog.

Online: Thursday, January 6th

6pm to 7pm Eastern Time

$5 for members

$15 for non-members
