But there's another reason you might want to become a master at social media. That's to become a paid influencer.

This course sets you up for success with easy to follow and exciting videos on topics like:
Each digestible video is pre-recorded so you can take them when and where you want, as long as you have Internet. Each is followed by a short quiz to test your knowledge.
But take good notes as you go. That's because you'll complete a test at after watching all the videos to get your well-earned certificate. And if you want to know more about a specific platform like Instagram or YouTube, you can take these shorter, but more targeted courses after getting the social media overview.
Just Google "HubSpot Academy". Search for the Social Media Certification course. And get started. Once you're done, they'll recommend other related courses to take what you've learned to the next level.

Originally from the midwest, Natalie and her husband Brian spent many years following his career but knew they were forever home when they made it to the Lowcountry. During vacations on Kiawah Island, they would dream of retiring to the South Carolina coast. When an opportunity presented itself to move to Bluffton much earlier than they envisioned, it was a “no brainer” and has proven to be one of their family’s best decisions. The two things Natalie loves most about the area are the community’s welcoming attitude and the always changing, but consistently breathtaking, views from the Lowcountry bridges. “It seems that everyone you meet in Bluffton and Hilton Head loves their community and genuinely wants you to fall in love with it, too…whether it’s for a week of vacation or to plant your own long-time roots.”
