If you don't know who Cameron Dallas is, go ahead and Google him. We'll wait.

Yeah, he's kind of a big deal these days. The Vine and YouTube star/model has morphed his internet presence into a wildly lucrative brand, building a zealous fanbase and monetizing sponsored content on his social media accounts to amass an estimated net worth of $4.5 million. Oh, and he's only 23 years old.

Mr. Dallas might have been able to construct an online empire without an ounce of professional training, but it's fair to assume that he's an anomaly. For everyone else, there's the Silicon Valley Social Media Marketing Course & Certification, a set of online classes that will teach you how to engage consumers while increasing your revenue. It might not turn you into a multimillionaire, but it will definitely give you a leg-up in the growing industry of social media marketing management, where the national average salary is approaching $60,000.

For less than $30, you'll get lifetime access to videos, quizzes, and learning resources on proven techniques that will help you increase your social media reach, attract clients, and sell more products. Across a dozen modules, you'll gain an essential understanding of the marketing psychology needed to optimize campaigns on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, Reddit, Tumblr, LinkedIn, and more. Best of all, you can get in touch with real instructors to get feedback whenever you're curious about your progress.

By the time you've completed all 12 lessons, you'll have earned a certification from the Silicon Valley Digital Marketing Institute. This training would normally run you $3,995, but if you head to the Mashable Shop right now, you can jumpstart your social media marketing career for only $29 — a savings of 99%.
