I\u2019m not one\u00a0to be idle.\u00a0 As I was asked to assume the role of \u201cSocial Media Guy\u201d in my company with no prior experience, my focus (insistence, really) on\u00a0education has been effectively non-stop for six years. Endless seminars, webinars, online classes etc for countless subjects, all in an effort not just to excel at my job, but to truly make a difference in the future of my company.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Here\u2019s the problem:\u00a0 there is precious little \u201cadvanced\u201d education out there. The vast majority of online courses are focused - nay fixated - on the basic architecture and implementation of the\u00a0application, be it Facebook, Instagram,\u00a0Google Analytics and the like.\u00a0 I need more, and I know of very few places to get it.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

So, far here\u2019s my list of resources I consider potentially \u201cAdvanced\u201d:<\/p>

Facebook Ads: Jon Loomer\u2019s \u201cPower Hitters Club\u201d<\/p>

Analytics: Trust Insights \u201cSo What\u201d videos on YouTube & measurementmarketing.io<\/p>

Google Ads: CXL.com (Potentially)<\/p>

Copywriting: Also, CXL<\/p>

Pinterest\/Twitter: NO Earthly Clue<\/p>

Presentation\/Data Vis Skills (NEED THOSE): Absolutely, unequivocally, no idea<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

So, now that you\u2019ve read my diatribe, whatcha think? Who do you trust for advanced\u00a0education?<\/p>

Don\u2019t get me wrong...I\u2019m all for the \u201clearn by doing\u201d mantra, and I am - but education is the far faster route to understanding the potential of a thing.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know what I don\u2019t know.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Ya know?<\/p>
