Register now! \nLevel: Beginner \nFacebook ads can be hard\, especially if you’re new to it all and you don’t have the time to study.

I believe that there’s always room for improvement. \nAfter an amazing decade of creating a solid career in IT working in 2 Fortune 500 companies\, I successfully transitioned into digital marketing in 2005 and never looked back. \nI have been honing my skills in driving and monetising traffic even before Twitter and Facebook existed\, expanding my knowledge on how content can influence consumer behaviour online\, and turning that into profitable affiliate campaigns for myself or my clients. \nStarting with SEO and Google Adwords way back in 2005\, I moved across all aspects of digital marketing\, from copywriting to link building\, user experience to split testing\, building websites\, selling websites\, building scalable marketing automation for clients and eventually successfully founding a 7 figure and a 6 figure digital agency. \nSince 2014 I’ve been obsessed with paid social media marketing\, working with hundreds of small and medium businesses\, coaches\, consultants and corporate clients to run their Facebook Ads\, lead generation\, and sales funnels and optimising their entire online presence to get better results across the board. \nAbout Digital Solutions – Australian Small Business Advisory Services\nThe Digital Solutions program is built to help small business owners develop their digital marketing skills\, from social media to building a better website\, making online sales\, creating Google and Facebook Ads\, and more.
