Are you struggling to use social media to help grow your business & feeling a bit overwhelmed? Or maybe you've experimented a little, but need help figuring out how to consistently engage with your community in an authentic way? Even if you sort of have a handle on social media, you might benefit from brainstorming with an established maker & social media specialist re: how these digital tools can help you promote yourself as well as increasing revenue without being sales-y.

This introductory workshop will show you how to connect with potential clients, fellow creatives & influencers via 3 key platforms (Twitter, Facebook & Instagram) in a way that feels genuine and also triggers growth.
Social media essentials will be covered that are specifically useful to crafters, designers, indie retailers and creative freelancers/entrepreneurs, including useful resources, shortcuts, case studies & tips - including specifics re: how to create strong visuals.
This will be a small group and there will be dedicated time for your questions. All you need to participate is a smartphone (& an appetite for social)...

YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT THE FOLLOWING:

- What differentiates the platforms & which ones best suit your business
