Overview

A Practical Online Social Selling Course

From Rented Followers to Customers You Own

Followers To Customers is the final course in our social media marketing courses, and the one that connects your content to the till. Like all our digital marketing courses, it's 100% online and self-paced. You'll map the social sales funnel, build lead magnets people actually want and landing pages that turn a tap into a contact, then set up DM automation with ManyChat that still sounds like a person, all within the UK rules on consent.

Followers are rented: the app decides who sees each post and can change the rules whenever it likes. This course builds the bridge to an owned list, then teaches social media sales without being salesy: offers that protect your margin, launches with a real waitlist, legal giveaways and creator partnerships done properly, plus a one-page monthly report in pounds. It builds on the Social Media Strategy Course and pairs well with our email marketing courses once the contacts arrive.

Who It's For

Who This Social Media Marketing Course Is For

  • Business owners with a following but too few enquiries, sign-ups or sales
  • Anyone who wants an email list they own instead of relying on one app
  • Busy owners who want DMs answered quickly without sounding like a robot
  • Freelancers running social media for clients who need to prove it pays
🚧

The problem it solves

A big following can still leave you with nobody to sell to. The app decides who sees each post and can change the rules any time.

🎯

What you'll be able to do

Turn followers into contacts you own, automate DMs that still sound human, run honest offers and prove what social earns in pounds.

⭐

Best for

Businesses with an audience that isn't yet turning into enquiries or sales.

1

Module 1 — The Social Sales Funnel

The path from a stranger's thumb to a contact you own — and the UK rules that keep that list yours.5 lessons

Lesson 1.1 — From followers to customers

  • Why 1,400 email addresses can matter more on drop day than 18,000 followers.
  • The funnel stage most small businesses skip, and the roofer who shows why it matters.
  • The two-minute audit that shows how much of your audience you actually own.

Lesson 1.2 — Your profile as a shop window

  • The five-second test you can run with a friend, a neighbour or your mum.
  • Where Kav's main bio link always points, and why the shop has to wait one step.
  • Why a call button nobody answers is worse than having no button at all.

Lesson 1.3 — Lead magnets that people actually want

  • Why 'join our mailing list' gets ignored, and the small change that turns it into an offer.
  • The free prize that attracts everyone — which is exactly the problem.
  • The five-question quick-win test that most 40-page ebooks fail on sight.

Lesson 1.4 — Landing pages for social traffic

  • How Maya's sign-up rate fell while her sign-ups more than tripled, and which number to trust.
  • The nine parts of a page that turns a tap into a contact, in the order a thumb meets them.
  • The page most people forget to design — and why it's where your shop finally appears.

Lesson 1.5 — Capturing data legally

  • What surprises most people about the UK rules for DMs, and why it changes how you sell in them.
  • The soft opt-in, and why it's far narrower than most small businesses assume.
  • What to do when a follower types their email address into a public comment.

Module 2 — DM Automation with ManyChat

One word in the comments, a helpful reply in seconds: automation that still sounds like a person, inside the rules.5 lessons

Lesson 2.1 — Why DMs sell

  • Two roofers, the same comment, and why only one of them is likely to get the job.
  • The four doors into your DMs, and which one to lead with in posts versus Stories.
  • Why replying by hand for a week beats building an automation on day one.

Lesson 2.2 — Getting started with ManyChat

  • The TikTok catch every UK business needs to know before it builds a single flow.
  • Why the free plan is perfect for testing and can buckle the moment a post takes off.
  • The button that looks helpful in your first DM but never opens the conversation window.

Lesson 2.3 — Comment-to-DM flows step by step

  • Why 'hi' and 'yes' make terrible keywords, and how to catch the people who type 'chek'.
  • The extra step that turns a helpful freebie into a bait and switch.
  • Why your own account is the worst place to test a flow you've just built.

Lesson 2.4 — Story replies, ice breakers and capturing emails in DMs

  • How a single emoji reply to your daily Story can open a sales conversation.
  • The consent exchange that turns a friendly DM into an email address you're allowed to use.
  • The ready-made questions that greet first-time messagers, and where to find the words for them.

Lesson 2.5 — Automation without being a robot

  • The five moments a bot should step aside and fetch a real person.
  • Why being open about automation rarely puts people off, but being fooled does.
  • The button-text tweak Leon tried on the next drop post, and what the numbers did next.

Module 3 — Tools & Workflow

The quiet machinery behind the posts: a week loaded in one sitting, links that report back, and AI kept firmly on a lead.4 lessons

Lesson 3.1 — Scheduling and publishing: the free route

  • How to load a whole week into the platforms' own free schedulers in one sitting.
  • Which posts are still better done live, however organised your week is.
  • Why 'scheduled' isn't the same as 'finished' — and the 'last chance' post that proves it.

Lesson 3.2 — HubSpot: every platform from one place

  • The catch spelled out in HubSpot's help pages, and why some of its own blog posts suggest otherwise.
  • Who HubSpot earns its place for, and why a single small business usually doesn't need it.
  • The 90-day reminder to put in your diary the moment you connect a Facebook Page.

Lesson 3.3 — Links, tracking and attribution

  • Why a single capital letter can split your Instagram results into two different sources.
  • The tiny Facebook audience that beat TikTok per follower, and why nobody moved a minute of effort.
  • Why your best word of mouth is invisible to analytics, and what to do instead of chasing it.

Lesson 3.4 — AI and content tools: helpful, not a replacement

  • Why AI drafts drift towards the same tired hooks everyone else is posting.
  • When the platforms expect an AI label, and the AI image no label could ever rescue.
  • The clickbait hook an AI tool put top of the list, and the ten-minute fix that made it sound like Dan again.

Module 4 — Selling on Social

How to sell without turning your feed into a price list: proof, honest offers, launches and creators done properly.5 lessons

Lesson 4.1 — Selling without being salesy

  • What 'salesy' really means, and why it has nothing to do with how often you mention your product.
  • Why telling people they don't need you yet can be one of the most persuasive posts you'll make.
  • The review requests that look like good practice but sit squarely in the CMA's sights.

Lesson 4.2 — Monthly promotions done right

  • What 15% off really does to the profit on a £24 box — the sum that stings.
  • Why a well-built bundle can save the customer more than it costs you.
  • When a 'free' bonus stops being free in the eyes of the CAP Code.

Lesson 4.3 — Product launches and reveals

  • Why a pile of keyword comments isn't a waitlist, however many there are.
  • How a waitlist tells you how many boxes to bake before a single one goes on sale.
  • Kav's launch-day volume rule, and the running order Crumb & Co. follow from 7am to 8pm.

Lesson 4.4 — Giveaways and competitions: the rules and the reality

  • What giveaways are really good for — and the job most businesses wrongly hire them to do.
  • How a friendly giveaway can accidentally turn into an illegal lottery.
  • Why 'like, follow and tag three friends' ticks three boxes, none of them good.

Lesson 4.5 — Working with creators and user-generated content

  • Why a local creator with 4,000 followers can be worth more than a national one with 400,000.
  • Who's on the hook when a gifted post goes out unlabelled — and it isn't only the creator.
  • Why reposting a creator's video on your own account needs more than a thankyou.

Module 5 — Measure, Report & Grow

Proving what social media earns in pounds, reporting it on one page, and growing what works without burning yourself out.5 lessons

Lesson 5.1 — Proving social media makes money

  • The question Leon asks every time a cookie video takes off, and how to finally answer it.
  • Why 'organic' doesn't mean free, and the sum most small businesses never do.
  • Why a roofer's low click rate isn't the problem it looks like, and the comparison that would fool you.

Lesson 5.2 — The monthly social media report

  • Two reports about the same month — guess which one keeps the client.
  • How to turn 'Link taps: 320' into a sentence that tells the owner what happens next.
  • The final section that gets a report acted on rather than politely filed.

Lesson 5.3 — Running social media for clients

  • Why a client's password is the one thing never to accept, and what to ask for instead.
  • The 'silence rule' that stops posts stalling in a client's inbox, and the one exception.
  • How scope creep arrives politely, and the two-option reply that stops it.

Lesson 5.4 — Growing and scaling what works

  • Three ways to get more from a winning series without repeating yourself.
  • The job to hand off first when you hire help, and the ones you should never let go of.
  • Why boosting a post nobody engaged with just pays more people to ignore it.

Lesson 5.5 — Your 90-day social media plan

  • Three courses, three big ideas, and the one system they add up to.
  • Why your 90-day plan is deliberately small — and the week-three trap it's built to avoid.
  • The three diary dates to set today, and what to do if you fall behind.

More About Our Online Social Media Marketing Courses

Do I need to take the other social media courses before Followers To Customers?

It helps, but it isn't required. This is the final course in the social media series, so it assumes you're already posting with some consistency. If you're starting from scratch, take the Social Media Strategy Course first. Like the rest of the series, it's 100% online and self-paced, with lasting access to the materials.

Does this social selling course teach DM automation?

Yes, a whole module of it. You'll set up ManyChat, build comment-to-DM flows step by step, use Story replies and ice breakers to open conversations and capture email addresses inside DMs with proper consent. You'll also learn the TikTok catch every UK business needs to know first, and the five moments a bot should step aside for a real person.

What does Followers To Customers cover that other courses leave out?

The UK rules, mostly. You'll learn what surprises people about the rules for DMs, why the soft opt-in is far narrower than most businesses assume, which review requests sit in the CMA's sights, when a 'free' bonus breaks the CAP Code, how a giveaway can become an illegal lottery, and who's on the hook when a gifted creator post goes out unlabelled.

How long will Followers To Customers take me?

Around 5 hours of learning, spread across 5 modules and 24 written lessons. Each lesson ends with a short multiple-choice knowledge check, so you know what's landed before you move on. Because it's self-paced, you can apply each module to your own profile, DMs and offers before starting the next.

Which packages include Followers To Customers?

All three social media packages. Essentials gives you all 3 social media courses for £299 Self-Paced, £499 Blended or £1,299 Coaching Intensive. Elite adds one paid ads course of your choice (Meta, Google or LinkedIn Ads) for £399, £599 or £1,399, and Ultimate adds Paid Advertising Foundations and Ad Creative That Converts too, 6 courses in all, for £499, £699 or £1,499.

Is there a certificate for Followers To Customers?

You get one on any package. You'll complete tutor-marked assessments and earn a certificate of completion from The Legacy Room, and you'll also get official certificate pathways with the likes of Google, HubSpot, Microsoft and Anthropic as bonus resources. The standalone course doesn't include tutor-marked assessments, tutoring or a certificate.

How much is Followers To Customers as a single course?

£149, with instant access to the learning materials, all 24 lessons and their knowledge checks included. If you'd like tutor support, tutor-marked assessments and a certificate as well, the Essentials package covers all three social media courses from £299 Self-Paced.

What's the next step after finishing Followers To Customers?

Boosting a post nobody engaged with only pays more people to ignore it, so wait until your organic content is proving its worth. When it is, the Meta Ads Course is the natural next step for putting budget behind what already works. You can choose it as your paid ads course in the Elite social media package.
