What started off as a hobby, has become my passion. I’ve been doing social media blogging/marketing for about 5/6 years and all self-taught along the way. Fb pages, twitter and IG have mostly been community and interest based, and since 2014 also helping a friends promotions company. I need to start earning substantial income and have the needed qualification to sell my business as a social media marketer with, better.
