SUMMARY:From Building Audiences to Building Businesses | Webinar | Beginner

SUMMARY:Building & Promoting your own Framework | Webinar | Beginner
DESCRIPTION:Everyone has their way of doing things. Some of them turn them into frameworks in workshops\, books and even keynote speeches. \n\nFrameworks are everywhere. 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. You can find out more about the program here. \nOnline Event\n\nOnline event is held on a Zoom call. The link will be sent to you 3 days before\, the day before and the day of the webinar. \n📅Tuesday 13 October\, 2026 \n⏰10:30am – 11:30am \n📍Online \n🎟️Register here! \n💲Free

SUMMARY:How to protect your social media accounts from being hacked | Webinar | Beginner
DESCRIPTION:Your business social media accounts are your shopfront\, your service desk and your ad engine – which makes them a prime target. In 2025 alone\, Australians lost more than $60 million to social media scams\, and complaints from small businesses fighting with digital platforms have jumped 127%. \nWhen an account gets hijacked\, the hacker borrows your brand’s reputation\, locks you out of your customers\, and can drain your ad budget before you even notice. \nThe confronting part? Once you’ve been hacked\, dealing with Facebook\, Instagram and the like is notoriously difficult – support is automated\, human help is scarce\, and there’s no formal appeal. \nThe reassuring part? Almost every attack succeeds because of a missing basic\, not sophisticated hacking. Protecting yourself is cheaper\, simpler and faster than you think. \nIn this practical\, jargon-free session built for small business owners\, you’ll learn: \n\nHow to proactively protect your personal accounts\nHow to lock down your business pages\, company pages and Business Manager accounts\nHow hackers actually get in\nThe simplest\, highest-impact steps to stop your accounts being taken over and deactivated\nWhy social media companies are so hard to deal with once you’ve been hacked\nWhere to get real help in Australia\n\nYou’ll walk away with a clear\, do-it-today checklist to dramatically reduce your risk — no technical background required. \nWho should attend: Small business owners\, sole traders and anyone responsible for a business’s social media presence. \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.

SUMMARY:Marketing your Business
DESCRIPTION:Marketing involves thinking of your business in terms of customer needs and satisfaction. While selling focuses on getting people to exchange their money for your products or services\, marketing is the value you give them. \nBusinesses only thrive by understanding their customers and using marketing strategies to meet their needs. Today’s consumers are overwhelmed by promotional ‘noise’ (in both on and offline environments)\, so it’s essential that your message is the one that ‘cuts through’. \nThe focus of this workshop is on offline (traditional) marketing. If you are interested in online marketing\, we suggest attending one of our digital marketing workshops. \nMain topics covered\nThis workshop covers: \n\nmarket research\nidentifying what makes your business unique\ndeveloping your brand\nan overview of a range of marketing channels\nsetting your marketing goals and budget\nkeeping your loyal customers\nmonitoring your marketing activities\n\nYou’ll receive a practical workbook that will help you to clarify your marketing plans\, and there will be an opportunity to ask questions. \nWho it’s for\nThis workshop is for people wanting to understand marketing basics. The focus is on what marketing actually is and how to write a marketing plan for your business. A range of offline (traditional) marketing channels are covered\, with online marketing (including websites\, email and social media) referred to only briefly. Our Digital Marketing Essentials workshop covers this in more depth. \nWhile it’s not essential to attend our How to Write a Business Plan workshop first\, it is useful to have considered the overall direction of your business\, before creating your marketing plan. \nWhat’s included\n\nAccess to the live workshop\nA recording of the workshop which you can access for up to seven days post event (online workshops only)\nCopies of any resources shared with attendees\n\nAbout the presenter\nOur foundation workshops are presented by SBDC business advisers and local small business owners.

SUMMARY:How much is too much "me" online | Webinar | Beginner
DESCRIPTION:Everyone tells you to “be authentic” and “show up as yourself.” Nobody tells you where that stops. \nPost the family holiday? The health scare? The bad month in the books? Somewhere between a locked-down corporate voice and a full public diary sits a line\, and there is no manual for finding it. \nIn this 30-minute session we look at how real Australian business owners have handled it. The ones who built genuine trust by sharing just enough. The ones who went too far and could not walk it back. And the quiet majority who stayed so guarded that nobody ever felt a reason to hire them. \nYou will leave with: \n\nA practical way to decide what belongs in public and what does not\nThe difference between running a business and running a personal brand\, and why mixing them up costs you\nWarning signs that you have drifted into oversharing\, and what it does to buyers\nWhat fear-driven invisibility actually costs a small business\nA simple boundary you can set this week and stick to\n\nFor small business owners\, sole traders\, and anyone building a name alongside their business. \n30 minutes. Real Australian examples. No lectures about “putting yourself out there.” \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.
