I was amazed at what I didn't know before I entered the program! SMMU provided an incredible overview as well as specific tips and tricks of all the social media sites. I feel like I have a very good understanding of how it all works now and have seen my business begin to track upward since beginning the course.

I am a marketing major at a large university in Florida. Before my social media marketing training courses with SMMU, I didn't know very much about social media and my university does not have a social media class... most of my knowledge about social media came from the courses I took at SMMU.

Another great session.. Business Strategies - great way to work through essential homework to determine what to do on LinkedIn.
Susan Collins
@JohnPaulSouza thanks! I enjoy the short video segments. Its great for mental breaks and easy to track my progress.
Nicole Ramsdale
Learning about the various ways to use different social media sites was great. How to create a welcome tab on a Facebook Business page was something I learned and am now using on my company page on Facebook.
Kelly Cindrich
The practical aspects of the program - all the 'how-tos' were extremely helpful. The program offered a good balance of strategy and practical implementation. Many programs have too much focus on the strategy or theory - and not enough on how to bring theory to reality.
Sylvia Kwan
The course helped me understand the vast array of tools and channels to identify prospects, engage in conversations, manage my time, and measure my progress with social media marketing campaigns.
Stephen Beech

Hi, John, I am taking courses at Social Media Marketing University and I'd like to thank you for creating such a good opportunity for people to learn about social media marketing.
