Here's how to become a social media marketing guru for less than $35
Internet history was made on May 22, 2005, when YouTube co-founder Steve Chen posted a video of his cat called "Pajamas and Nick Drake." That 30-second clip was the very first cat video ever uploaded to the video-sharing site, according to The BBC, marking the beginning of a bona fide digital phenomenon that eventually spawned a handful of feline celebrities.
Pop on Instagram right now and you may run into the profile of a rescue cat named Nala, who currently has a dedicated community of more than 3.4 million followers (and counting) liking her adorable daily posts. Not too shabby for a tabby.
As Nala and her furry friends have proven, social media can be a legit (and lucrative) way to build a brand. With the Social Media Management Pro Bundle, even humans like you can learn marketing techniques and tricks that will help you stake your claim in the increasingly competitive and in-demand field of social media marketing.
Here's a breakdown of the included courses:
