How/where did you develop your community management skillset? Any recommendations for courses to sign up for?

There are plenty of good courses to develop your skills, but the most important thing is to work, no community or brand is the same as another, working for something you believe in will give you a plus.

Take a look at this selection of online courses, I personally worked as a collaborator on this article, and I wish you luck: https://www.projectcubicle.com/7-best-courses-in-marketing-to-get-hard-skills /

I think that more important than a course would be to work for an agency with many clients, you learn a lot in a short time and then you can decide whether to stay or look for something more dedicated.

I developed my community management skillset by working in customer service for a long time. I then worked as a moderator on different forums and websites. I would recommend taking a course in social media marketing, as it would give you a good foundation in how to use social media for promotion and community building.

I developed my skillset by managing a few different communities. I would recommend signing up for courses on how to manage communities, as well as how to use different social media platforms.

I developed my community management skillset by working on several different social media platforms for different types of businesses. I would recommend signing up for a course in social media marketing to get a better understanding of the different platforms and how to use them effectively.

I never found a course that seemed worth the cost. Most of my skills came from reading blogs and community management books.
