This workshop is a trip down the runway – it will give you valuable information, hints, tips and tools to decide what your destination for your online business will be.
Over the 5 years since The Online Business Academy began, we’ve travelled the world and met Business Owners across all types of industries who are eager to get their business online and generating a profit.
Let’s face it, the world has changed and how we do business has changed.
It becomes challenging to decide what’s important, where you should be positioning yourself and what steps you need to take to Build a Profitable Business Online.
Business Owners feel overwhelmed by the pace of change that’s sweeping the internet – there are not only new social media channels emerging but long-standing ones change constantly. How do you stay on top of it all?
Many feel quite lonely and ‘silly’ in their business, worrying what others would say. They search the internet for answers only to be more confused and more overwhelmed with the information.
We can assure you that Building a Business Online takes a lot of work and effort. There is no ‘easy way out’. BUT having the right processes, technology and people helping you, can make your journey and experience an enriching and rewarding one.
WHAT IS BEING COVERED:
1. The Social Media and Digital Blueprint to give you a big picture overview of your business.
You will walk away with the Social Media and Digital Marketing Blueprint. This will show you the gaps in your current business and also where you are doing well.
2. The Online Assets you need, so that your business can function optimally online.
We are going to take you on a journey and show you all the online assets you will need to help your business to function properly. As we take you on this journey, we will give you great information, so that you can leave the workshop being able to make some significant changes to anything you have in place at the moment.
3. Positioning and Brand building – why you need to be an authority.
We will work through positioning and take you through a few examples of how to position yourself online so that you can be seen as an authority in your field. AND…we will take you through how to write a Blog so that people take notice. (plus you will receive the handout with the 7 steps on how to write a Blog article)
4. Why Social Media can make a massive impact on your business and where you should be focusing.
We will take you through the most popular Social Media Channels and give you some fab hints and tips to try out when you leave the session.
5. Processes to keep the communication with your customer on track.
We will give you a handout of a list of things to do daily on Social Media to keep the engagement with your customer. We will show you what a customer engagement funnel looks like and how you can automate this to keep the customer engaged.
PLUS there is lots of time for questions.

“Thank you for a fantastic course on marketing online businesses that I attended a few weeks ago. Your presentation was detailed and specific in so many areas. I loved the hands-on approach to using programs to design posts. Excellent tips regarding the legalities of using photographs in promotional posts. So many options and variables to be considered for my product in preparing blogs, videos, posts specific to each platform that you discussed. The tips on how to promote and manage the timing of advertising were very efficient. The colour coding was excellent for me and a way of utilising my calendar for other areas of my goal setting too. Your professional yet fun approach was appealing and the delivery was engaging. Your presentation style was inclusive and allowed for all who attended to gain knowledge pertaining to their particular niche and so much more. Thank you Sincerely”
