3 opportunities for learning online and social media on the coast!
1 Council workshops across the coast
Gympie Regional Council is bringing the business of social media to the Cooloola Coast with a series of workshops planned during October.
Facilitated by Jess Riches, from Enriches Business, the workshops will show you how to get the most out of social media for your business.
The workshops commence with a beginner session in Tin Can Bay on October 11, focusing on the basics of Facebook and Instagram – getting started, creating content and scheduling, as well as the tools available to assist.
The intermediate session at Cooloola Cove on October 18 will focus on trends, reporting and advertising.
Rainbow Beach is the venue for the advanced session on October 25 which delves into behaviour tracking and breaking down ad campaigns.
This is a great opportunity to learn more about one of the widest reaching and least expensive forms of advertising for your business.
Bookings are essential and can be made at www.eventbrite.com.au or contact the Economic Development Unit on 1300 307 800 or economicdevelopment@gympie.qld.gov.au
2 Online presence for business, free tips and tricks session in Tin Can Bay

“The Chamber is working towards providing professional development and mentoring opportunities for our business community,” explained President Jess Milne.
