Can I do social media marketing with no experience?
Yes. Social media is one of the least gate-kept skills in marketing — the platforms teach themselves, and the feedback loop (a post either works or it doesn't) is faster than any other channel. What separates paid professionals from beginners isn't platform knowledge; it's strategy (choosing the right target audience, format, and offer) and consistency (the discipline to publish daily for 6+ months). Start posting for yourself before selling the service.
