Mike has been advising clients about doing business online since 1995—there is so much he can assist you with regarding anything digital. To make the most of the allocated four hours under the program, Mike has developed three structured packages, each providing over $1,250 worth of value: Digital Foundation Blueprint, Reputation Shield, and AI Accelerator. These packages help establish a strong online presence, protect and elevate reputation, and leverage AI for growth.

In short, No prior technical expertise is required. Mike Hillsdon guides you through each step; however, to make the most of the four hours, please ensure that you can do the following;

• Connect to the Internet on a Personal Computer (avoid using tablets please) - please avoid hot spotting due to connection quality and using tablets.
• Ensure that your Personal Computers updates are up to date - if not installed, we will have issues with online sharing.
• Have a Webcam and a decent microphone to see and speak to each other clearly.
• Have your online credentials such as user name and passwords handy (we will not ask you for these, but there is nothing more time wasting than resetting passwords within a limited amount of time,
• And turn up to our scheduled appointments ready for action!

• Digital Foundation Blueprint: Establish your business's online presence
• Reputation Shield: Protect and elevate your business's online reputation
• AI Accelerator: Leverage AI for business growth

The best package depends on your business needs. Mike can cover what's best during the initial advisory session.

• He's not a big fan of Bill Gates—that's another story, or it will one day become a movie!

As part of the program, there will not be any other additional costs for tools or software; however, we will introduce you to free and will advise on what software you should look at implementing - when advising on software, Mike ensures he follows the following framework;

• Relevance: Alignment with business goals and needs.
• Effectiveness: Proven track record and success stories.
• Ease of use: User-friendly interface and minimal training required.
• Integration: Seamless integration with existing systems and workflows.
• Cost-benefit analysis: Clear understanding of costs, benefits, and ROI.
• Security and reliability: Robust data protection and uptime guarantees.
• Scalability: Ability to grow with the business.
• Support and training: Availability of resources, documentation, and support.
• Compatibility: Compatibility with existing hardware and software infrastructure.
• Flexibility: Customisation options and adaptability to changing needs.
• Vendor reputation: Credibility, trustworthiness, and industry recognition.
• Data ownership: Clear understanding of data ownership and control.

Ultimately, it's your decision, and Mike will only advise based on what he recommends to his agency clients or what he would use in his own business.

During: Expect personalised coaching, guidance, and ongoing support via Zoom or phone call

After: Mike still runs his digital agency, which operates with its own packages and software tools to make businesses more efficient while reducing costs and time. He also advises Meta Marketing Pros and is involved in software development and marketing consulting and advisory.

He is kind-natured and loves to help people; however, he still needs to pay bills for business expenses, consulting, and outsourcing (to Australian businesses), and the bl00dy ATO and State Governments all want their fair share for just being in business - don't get me started!

He is always up for a chat, and if he shares some wisdom or advice, but respectfully, he hopes that the advice he provides is valued when given and not taken advantage of, especially when no invoicing is involved - there are only so many hours in a day to balance business and life.

The program teaches strategies for ongoing online success, including content creation, SEO, and social media marketing. The ongoing is up to you!
