Frequently asked questions
Who is this cohort for?
Beginners, social media managers, freelancers, and marketers who want real strategy, not only content tips.
How are live sessions delivered?
Live sessions run on Google Classroom. Members also use the SMN member portal for learning progress, resources, mentorship, and opportunities, plus the WhatsApp community for day-to-day support.
Do I need prior experience?
No. Curiosity, consistency, and a willingness to practise matter more than job titles.
When do I pay?
Submit an application first. SMN reviews applications within a few business days. Payment or an approved payment plan is arranged after acceptance — not before you apply.
Is employment guaranteed?
No. We help you get ready for the market and open doors to employers and opportunities. We do not promise a job.
How do self-paced courses work?
Self-paced courses are sold on Selar. Browse them here, then complete purchase on Selar. Cohort membership is a separate application path.
What is the fee?
