Welcome

Welcome to the Social Video Pro certificate program! The world of social media content has exploded, with thousands of content creators posting high-quality videos on profitable channels. How do they do it? And what steps can you take to become one of them? We’re glad you asked!

Becoming a social video “pro” means you learn to think about yourself as more than a content creator. You need to take on the roles and responsibilities of a producer — the person in charge of content planning and production who makes sure that content is aligned with identified market needs. That sounds like a mouthful, but in short, you need to make sure that you are creating content people want to watch, and that those people find you. When you started out, you had something to say to people. As a social video pro, your audience comes first, and your content second. It’s a new way to think, and the one that will get you to your goals most quickly.
