Ecommerce Online Course |Are you an E-commerce entrepreneur (or do you want to be?) Then this Ecommerce Online course will help you understand why you are not making sales, why all your efforts seem to be amounting to nothing - and why you feel like you want to give up and throw the towel in. Ecommerce has been touted for years as an 'easy' way to make money online. It isn't easy. It's a number game, and if you don't understand how the numbers game works then you will find yourself ploughing cash into a deep money pit that makes you wish you'd never started. This course will help you avoid the pitfalls, or help you pull things around if you're already at the stage where you want to give up!- On Demand Training (Access it anytime, 24/7)

IN-PERSON FACEBOOK ADS TRAINING - £150 (£125+VAT) Running 10am until 3pm Held in-person at Peel House - Blackpool - FY4 5JX We are all becoming fatigued with online courses, death by Zoom... an online course you bought but never logged into, or you logged in and did 2 lessons and didn't have the head space or energy to stay engaged and retain it. We have lost vital human interaction - to learn effectively, you need to be able to have conversations that the whole room isn't listening to, ask questions without speaking to everyone. Without being distracted by an email that came in or a Whatsapp that popped up. To learn from your peers who are also running businesses, and maybe even do a bit of networking too. On Tuesday 5th May I will be delivering an intensive, one day, Meta (Facebook) Ads Masterclass - in person. This is not a theoretical session - we will create audiences and Ads on the screen together, step by step. You will leave the session competently able to run ads with a modest budget. You will also get FREE access to the online Meta Ads Course (worth £72)- just in case you need to revisit a section later - so you've got the best of both worlds! This is an introductory price for a pilot event - if we run this again the price will be £300+VAT. Other key info- FREE ample on-site parking - no stresses driving around looking for a space, walking for miles. The car park is ours and by the front door. No pay and display!
- We are just off Junction 4 of the M55 - easy to find and no busy towns to drive through!
- We are a 5 minute (£7-10) taxi ride from Lytham station but we are not on a bus route
- We have disabled access and a disabled toilet - if you need to bring a carer there is no charge for them.
Lunch and refreshments are provided - please email us after booking if you have any dietary requirements (bookings@thesmallbusinessacademy.co.uk)

How do you learn SEO? You know you need to improve your search visibility but you don't know who to trust. You may already have wasted a few hundred quid on courses, or even people professing to 'get you to page 1' - only for the promises to end up unfulfilled. Lots of courses tell you WHAT, but not HOW. They waffle for hours about stuff you already know, and give you so little information that you could have just found the answer on a YouTube video. This course - like all of our courses - gets straight to the point, doesn't waffle, and shows you exactly what to do, while explaining why you're doing it. -
