“Amanda takes novices through the painful exercise of getting to know social media and setting yourself up on it, then expands on how to make it work for you. A great initiation for those who are daunted but reasonably computer literate.” |
| Matthew Allshorn | July 2011 |
“Took one of Amanda’s Social Media classes, well worth while and a fantastic class, would recommend to anyone that must learn Social Media, get on a course and learn from a lady that is very passionate about the subject and worth learning from. All of us from the same class all still chat using social media, well worth every penny.” |
| Kyle Newman | June 2011 | “Amanda, despite the name of her blog “Not a Social Media Expert”, is actually just that. Whilst she appreciates that she still has lots to learn as this is a fast growing and changing field, her 12+ years of experience make her more than qualified to help businesses and individuals with their online reputation, brand and marketing. Of all of the people I’ve met and worked with in the Social Media Marketing field she is by far the most knowledgeable and helpful. for me she’s always my first port of call when I need advice or help in this area of my business.” |
