Social media influencer

Social media influencers not only need natural talent and skills, they also need the necessary basic knowledge to do this demanding job. This is exactly what a diploma course as a social media influencer is for.

In order not to lose the overview in this multifaceted industry, there are training courses that will help you to concentrate on the essentials. They also provide you with valuable all-round knowledge to meet the requirements of clients.

During the training, the participants are confronted with a wide variety of questions: How do I present myself or the product in an appealing way? How do I attract more attention with social media posts, how do I increase a qualitative network (followers) and keep it stable at the same time? How do the different social media channels work and where are the most important differences? Influencers need to know a lot about photography, image editing, videography with editing & sound. These topics are taught practically and theoretically during the course. The training also includes subjects such as text editing, specialist journalism, media law, language training and basic psychological knowledge. This knowledge is essential to ensure that newcomers are not thrown in at the deep end. In addition, further training includes an in-depth look at the most important specialist areas, including topics such as luxury articles, food & fitness, fashion, specialist journalism and other exciting areas.

With a diploma course, nothing stands in the way of a career as a social media influencer. To find offers for courses, visit the largest Swiss education portal Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch.
