You do not have to regularly attend class or follow a fixed schedule when learning on social media. You can choose to spend a few minutes or hours depending on your available time. Mobile devices, tablets and smart phones can be used so you can learn anywhere and in the most conducive places. You also do not hurt your budget much since a lot of the information you find on social media networks is free. Enrollment fees are generally affordable and you get to choose the pace so you can make the most out of your time and investment.
