The Social Media for Marketing class was phenomenal! Krista was able to provide step-by-step instruction in how to use social media — which tools to use to keep my website content current, how to start a Facebook fan page and how to create a blog. If you are new to social media or if you've been using social media, you'll learn how to take your social media skills to the next level. I recommend the class to everyone, from small organizations to large; for businesses to non-profits. Everyone at any level will benefit.
