Creative Thinking possibilities...

I'm very excited about the possibilities of using creative thinking to enhance a social media strategy...and also to get to know our students. Can't wait til I get started in week 3.

In the meantime, here's a question to think about: In a perfect world, what would be your biggest, most exciting, audacious goal for your social media strategy?

Welcome to the Social Media for Home-Based Business Blog!

This project supports migrant women from the Lakemba area of NSW to develop a strong and creative social media presence for their home-based business. The project is design and delivered by a partnership between Canterbury City Community Centre and Sydney Community College and is funded by the National VET E-learning Strategy's Partnerships for Participation program.

CALD migrant women in the Lakemba area are motivated to improve their families’ lives by starting or improving a home-based business and require training and support to realise their ambitions.  Social media provides home-based business with a low-cost or free platform through which to promote products and services.  Our program aims to provide the skills required to plan and implement a creative social media strategy. 

The program will be delivered over 10 weeks and we’ll use a combination of face to face training and social media tools to connect, communicate and learn.
