SUMMARY:From Building Audiences to Building Businesses | Webinar | Beginner
DESCRIPTION:You’ve probably noticed that lately\, having an audience followers online is not even getting close to bringing customers to your business. There’s a reason for this – and it’s not a big tech conspiracy. \nIt’s just supply and demand. \nIn 2016 there was way less content online to entertain and educate people on social platforms. Now content is a never-ending feed of ads\, reposts and AI slop. and chances are that you’ve fallen in to the trap of posting one or more of these things regularly. \nThere is a way out\, and while it’s easy to do\, it’s hard to break the hook of likes and comments. \nThis online class looks at what’s changed\, why and what you can do to benefit from it all. \nAnd at the end of this\, you’ll have a way to look at moving away from using social media for attention – and instead\, using it to build a real business. \n\n\n\nDescription\n\nThis webinar is hosted by Dante St James from Clickstarter Education in partnership with BUSY Business for the Australian Government’s Digital Solutions program. You can find out more about the program here. \nOnline Event\n\nOnline event is held on a Zoom call.

SUMMARY:Building & Promoting your own Framework | Webinar | Beginner

Every business book author has one. Every online guru has one. Chances are you have at least one in you as well – but you haven’t formalised into a framework yet. \nA framework is simply a defined way of doing things that you have synthesised from your own experience and the things you’ve learned from others. \nIt could be the way the way that you conduct job interviews\, or the way you have grown a business. Maybe it’s a way that you attract new clients\, or plan your online content. \nIt could be anything. But it’s not sellable until it’s been identified\, refined and named. And that’s what this webinar is all about. \nYou’ll walk in with a world of experience and walk out with the beginnings of a clear framework that you can share\, sell or even trademark. \n\n\n\nDescription\n\nThis webinar is hosted by Dante St James from Clickstarter Education in partnership with BUSY Business for the Australian Government’s Digital Solutions program.

SUMMARY:Being an Grown-up Business Owner Online | Webinar | Beginner
DESCRIPTION:We’ve all had that moment. We’ve replied to a snarky comment. We’ve obsessed over a bad review. We’ve sent a direct message to someone who annoyed us. \nSocial media and online reviews can be a minefield of reputation\, reaction and revenge. \nAnd while Australia has been applauding itself for banning under 16s from social media\, the real troublemakers on social media are those over 16 – namely\, the supposed adults in the room. \nSmall business owners are in an unenviable position of being both the operator of the business and the face of it. So when we lash out\, react or simply can’t hold our tongue\, what is said doesn’t just reflect on us – it reflects on our whole business. \nIn this webinar of striking examples\, personal experiences and real technical solutions\, you will learn: \n\nWhat triggers business owners to lose their cool online\nWhat trolls and troublemakers are trying to achieve\nWhen and how to respond to aggression online\nStrategies for handling anger and reactive moments\n\nThis is a webinar designed for those who are not sure how they would handle stress and triggers online – and those who work with small business owners who might be a little too quick to respond when emotions are running hot. \nDescription\n\nThis webinar is hosted by Dante St James from Clickstarter Education and developer of Quotaroo\, ContentSteps\, BrandSpark and Intelinked in partnership with BUSY Business for the Australian Government’s Digital Solutions program. You can find out more about the program here. \nOnline Event\n\nOnline event is held using Zoom. Your link will be sent to your email address three days – and again the day before and day of the webinar. \n📅Tuesday 6 October\, 2026 \n⏰10:30am – 11:30am \n📍Online \n🎟️Register here! \n💲Free
