How to be social media savvy

Get ready to learn the basics of social media, and how to grow your business, as part of a new workshop this August.

Glenelg Shire Council is hosting a ‘Social Media 101’ workshop on Saturday, August 19, at the Portland Library to help local artists, authors, small business owners and anyone wanting to learn the basics of social media marketing.

The workshop will be facilitated by local business and owner, and social media maven, Maya Linnell. Ms Linnell will share her insights and tips on how to use Facebook, Instagram and other platforms to reach your target audience and achieve your business goals.

Glenelg Shire Mayor Cr Scott Martin urged all business owners who needed assistance with social media to attend the workshop.

“Social media is a part of everyday life now and if you are running a business, you can’t afford to be without it,” he said.

“This low-cost workshop will give you the basics of what you need to know about social media, how to create engaging content and how to manage your social media presence.

“Our facilitator Maya Linnell will be a familiar face to many, as a Narrawong local and now bestselling author. Maya boasts more than 4.2K followers across her social media accounts and a large newsletter following, and will share her successes. She is currently using social media strategically to promote her latest book, and book tour, Kookaburra Cottage.

“Whether you’re new to social media or looking to improve your skills, this event is for you.”
