About Social Media Marketing World
Social Media Marketing world is a world event that showcases the latest trends and strategies to help businesses of all sizes grow through social media marketing strategy. It’s held annually in San Diego, Califorinia. I visited Social Media Marketing World first in 2020. It was an incredible time where I had the chance to connect with other course creators and business consultants. I made some great friends that I’ve managed to stay connected with to this day!
You can read my full recap of that year in this article:
SMMW22 Course Creator Meetup
This year, I decided to have a meetup in person at an amazing restaurant and connected with 10 plus course creators and business experts. I had a blast meeting up with some amazing course creators to talk about their membership, course, and their travels around the world. I especially loved connecting with my new Australian friends Jono and Claudia! Next year I plan on hosting another Course Creator Meetup at Social Media Marketing World 2023, so stay tuned!

The Course Consultant Resources
My overall takeaways was to always consider testing and trying new angles in your marketing as well as reviewing and diving deeper into your analytics. Overall, the conference reaffirmed the importance for understading the customer journey (especially when it comes to marketing) and how to make the experience for your customers an impactful one.
Next year, I hope to attend the event again as well as hold another in-person event for course creators in the coming months, so keep your eyes peeled for more updates!
