#DigitalAngus Free Webinars – March & April

This post was edited on 11th March to simplify the sign-up process.

Back in January I helped Angus Council programme the first #DigitalAngus event, bringing together people interested in social media for social good. One of the key pieces of feedback from attendees was the need for additional follow-up support. With that in mind I’m hosting a series of webinars hosted on Google+ covering Twitter Essentials, Social Media Strategy, Content Planning and Facebook Essentials. Full details and dates below.

If you’d like to take part please click the link(s) below related to the webinar(s) you’d like to attend. Please note places are very limited.

With over 1 billion user worldwide Facebook is still the social media powerhouse. That said, many charities don’t understand how to get the most out of the channel.

You’ll come away from this session with a more succinct understanding of how Facebook can benefit your organisation.
