Learn Business Blogging & Social Media PressRoom (Wordpress) هذه الدورة تدرس باللغة الإنجليزية

تفاصيل الدورة

This is a BUSINESS course for Business, Government and Not for Profits: Wordpress can be used for a variety of purposes including hobby blogging and opinion sites. But in THIS course you'll learn how to turn the free Wordpress hosted software into a social media press room for Public Relations, Marketing and general Business students interested in Facebook and Twitter and blogs. If you want to integrate Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and all that good stuff into your website instead of having it sit aside from your channels, this is the course for you. If you are a corporate writer, public relations press release manager, or a small business wanting to create a free website that catches the eye of journalists, and customers on social media, this course will teach you how to create the site, add your own domain name, write articles and publish blog posts, turn your blog articles into an enewsletter and fully integrate social sharing, Facebook and Twitter into your hub/website. If you already have a website or even a Wordpress blog, this course will help you see if it's been set up right to get the most readers, and customers interest.

*** On April 1st This course will be closed to NEW students. I will of course continue to support current and past students. No new students will be accepted after April 1st****

What are the Main Features of a Social Media Press Release?

• Written in the most suitable brand voice (educational, serious, fun, corporate or entertainment)
• Strong visual branding (colours and logos, and header images)
• About statements on corporate social responsibility, company history, stories.
• Contacts such as address of press launch, and maps, email addresses, phone numbers
• Lots of rich content "social objects" ripe for dissemination on Facebook and Twitter
• Usable and easy admin and structure - ability to email in a press release and have it go live!
• Call to action widgets (sign up for email newsletters, download industry PDF, fill in survey)
• Posts containing: Coupons, offers, competitions, company statements, message from CEO, industry vision.
• Social sharing also increases SEO and SMO (search and social media optimisation).

Your own personal blogging mentor! 3 hours of videos, a workbook, quizzes, and a question and answer forum where you can ask me any question about Wordpress. I'll even make a video to respond to your question and walk you through it! Provided it hasn't been covered already etc.
