Why blog?
Did you know that 70% of people learn about a company from articles rather than adverts? Investing your marketing budget and time in creating quality, enduring blog posts rather than temporary ads will not only attract more visitors to your website, but will also improve the quality of customer enquiries. What kind of difference would that make to your business?
If you'd like to generate more business through blogging, but you're not sure where to start, this course is for you.

- How blogging can benefit your business
- How to get started

This workshop is primarily aimed at those who've never blogged and haven't yet decided which blogging platform to use. Or perhaps you've already made a start, but haven't been seeing the results you'd hoped for. We'll ensure that you leave the workshop with a good understanding of the key things you need to know before you get started, and the confidence to begin and continue writing regularly.

Why focus on Facebook?
Did you know that 829 million people log onto Facebook daily? (Source: Facebook as 23/6/14) Or that over 223 million people in Europe are on Facebook? More than 1 billion people visit Facebook Pages each month. These numbers confirm that a large number of Facebook users are active and consistent in their visits to the site. This also makes them a promising audience for your marketing efforts. But do you know how you can target this growing audience using Groups and Facebook Pages?
If you'd like to generate more business through Facebook, but you're not sure where to start, this course is for you.
Who should attend this workshop?
This introductory workshop is for anyone who recognises that their business could benefit from having an active presence on Facebook, but would like to learn more about:
- How using a Facebook Page could benefit your business
- How to get started
- How to grow your Facebook audience organically
- How to promote your Facebook Page
This workshop is primarily aimed at those who already have a Facebook profile, but don't understand how that differs from Groups and Pages. Or perhaps you've created a business Page, but you're not seeing the level of engagement you'd hoped for. We'll ensure that you leave the workshop with a good understanding of the key things you need to know to use Facebook Pages effectively, and the confidence to manage your Facebook Page and (optionally) Groups with ease.
What you'll learn
In this workshop you'll learn how to:
- Create an inviting Facebook Page for your business
- Increase the number of people who 'Like' your Page and interact with it
- Create interesting, shareable posts that include links and images
- Use Facebook Insights to understand how people are interacting with your Page
We'll also cover important points like the use of hashtags (#) and mentions (@), how frequently you should post and how to come up with great ideas for your posts.
Why should you attend this workshop?
Our goal is for you to leave the workshop:
- With a clear strategy for using Facebook as part of your marketing mix
- With a professional Facebook Page for business
- With plenty of ideas for types of post you can share on Facebook
- With a draft 2-week plan that you can immediately implement
Following your participation in this workshop, you will also receive:
- Membership of a private Facebook group, where you can request help and ask others to visit and share your Page
- Support by phone and email for your first two weeks' activity on Facebook
- Promotion of your Facebook Page by Vanessa Hunt Consulting Ltd via LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook, as appropriate
What should you bring?
This is a hands-on session, so please bring your laptop and any other devices you use for business, such as your iPad or iPhone.
We also recommend you bring a spanking new notebook and your favourite pen, so you can make notes and jot down your ideas for your next Facebook posts.
How much does it cost?
