How to build a social media strategy (and actually make money from it)

Good social media strategy looks different for a bakery, a political podcast, and a vintage electronics restorer — but the underlying principles are the same.
Andrew Parsons turned @nostalgic_nooks_bk into a full-time business by doing one thing well: making people genuinely care about vintage televisions converted into cat beds. In this class, he’ll walk you through the strategy behind building a loyal audience in any niche — content development, platform mechanics, and the part everyone wants to get to: monetization. We’ll cover brand partnerships, what sponsors are actually looking for, and how to position yourself for deals that work for your audience and your business.
Come with your account handle and a rough sense of what you want your account to be.
*This class is capped at 20

Testimonials
The material covered was really helpful, and I loved hearing the audio examples that illustrated many of the points. It was a wonderful balance of practical advice and inspiration as well.
I have pages of notes. I think my idea for a history project is more layered than I thought it would be.
Andrew is passionate and knowledgeable about his work
