Hi, I’m Melissa Barker.

I have helped thousands of people just like you learn how to drive demand for their business with social media and become successful social media marketers.

In 2012, I authored the first (and now international, best-selling) college textbook on social media marketing. I also created the first state accredited social media certification in Washington and have been teaching people how to use social media for a decade.

In addition to the academic side, I have worked first-hand with international technology companies, nonprofits and small businesses on social media.

Through ALL of these experiences I discovered that…

 

Anyone can learn to drive demand with social media, with the right information.

The problem is that there has never been a “one-stop-shop” for how to use social media.

Trust me, I had to learn it the hard way.

I learned everything I know through reading hundreds of trade books, thousands of hours of research, trial and error and years of experience.

Which is precisely why I created the Social Media Master Certification™!

I designed this course to be a start-to-finish blueprint for how to drive demand with social media marketing.

This course contains:

  • EVERYTHING I know
  • EVERY template I charge businesses thousands of dollars for

And it’s updated in REAL-TIME. Once you’re a student, you’ll be notified anytime best practices change.

This course makes it easy to do even the most complex parts of social media marketing.

You’ll walk away the skills, templates, and resources to do social media marketing - with total confidence.
