As you probably know, social media is a rapidly growing industry and the supply of highly-trained, quality professionals can hardly keep up with the demand out there. There is a huge need for social media experts in a vast area of niches, with industry-specialist knowledge. However, lots of people “call” themselves social media experts–but what does that mean?
Has the title become too diluted with semi-pros that have some Tweeting or Facebook experience, but no real training? Many people think so. The industry is crowded with folks with little or no “in-the-trenches” experience of getting real results for clients–which is why I decided to invest in certification as a Social Media Strategist for my business, and it has made all the difference.
As some of you may know, I received my training from Mari Smith. She is most known for her Facebook marketing expertise and is coauthor of the bestselling book, “Facebook Marketing: An Hour A Day.” Mari travels the world speaking on major stages and teaches her clients and students how to easily integrate social media marketing into their overall marketing plans.
Integrity and expertise were the qualifying factors that influenced my decision to train with Mari, and I’m excited to announce that she’s about to open up her highly popular social media professionals training program, appropriately called “Mentor with Mari.” It’s an intense six-month long program for learning everything you need to know about building a solid, sustainable business in the social media industry. Plus, there is a VIP level where students will be eligible to receive referrals and speaking invitations.
To introduce her next mentorship program, Mari is leading a free webinar with a good 45-minutes of no-pitch, no-hype content plus details of her upcoming program. The webinar coming up on May 31: (That’s THIS COMING Tuesday!)

Here are a couple of questions for you… are you interested in becoming a top speaker, trainer, consultant, author, or specialist? If not, are you already incorporating social media into your business, but finding it next to impossible to keep up with changes and best practices for your company’s social strategy? If either of those apply, and you’re willing to roll up your sleeves and do some real work, this could be right up your alley. Check out the webinar (or the replay) and leave a comment on this post to let me know what you think!
