Ik beheerde al wat accounts voor vrienden, maar wist niet hoe ik er een echte dienst van moest maken. Deze cursus legt haarfijn uit hoe je content vooruit plant, per platform optimaliseert en je eerste betalende klant binnenhaalt. Het deel over het opstellen van een contentkalender en het pitchen naar bedrijven heb ik direct gebruikt. Inmiddels heb ik twee vaste klanten en loopt het lekker. Voor iedereen die zijn socialmediahobby wil omzetten in werk is dit echt een prima startpunt.
