Do you want to get more customers and increase your revenue?

In one day, I’ll help you create a blueprint for your business that will:

• make your marketing easier
• generate you more revenue
• increase your customers
• build your brand and profile

Are you a business owner who wants to work smarter, not harder? Would you like to create a system that does a lot of the work for you.

We all wish we could afford an army of staff to do our sales, marketing, lead generation, conversions, customers liaison and word-of-mouth referrals. But unless you have an endless stream of spare cash at your disposal, that’s just not going to happen!

However, you can create a system that can do this for you. Think of it as your virtual army – one that I’m going to help you create at the Online Business Booster Bootcamp.

You see, five years ago, when I founded the Sydney Writers’ Centre, I had only 6 students in our first class. And I was the only teacher in the whole centre! Now, thousands of students pass through our doors every year and we have a team of 25 of the country’s best writing/editing/communications presenters. Our courses have also expanded beyond our first little training room into our harbourside training room.

We’ve done this with NO advertising

We also now have a virtual classroom that teaches students from all over the world - including countries such as France, Hong Kong, the US, Italy, The Netherlands, Singapore, United Kingdom, Afghanistan - and many more.

We’ve expanded without spending ANY money on advertising (except for on Google) and through making the most out of online communication - like email, blogs, Facebook, Twitter and much more.

This business is my passion - but when I first started it I was overwhelmed with everything I had to do.

I was responsible for:

• running the business
• the sales and marketing
• liaison with customers
• following up leads
• answering enquiries
• processing payments
• book-keeping
• you name it, I did it!

Chances are, you are currently in a similar position. I can relate to what you’re going through!

But I can tell you that there IS an easier way – I know because it’s taken me years of research, experimentation and implementation to figure it out. And I want to share it with you at my Online Business Booster Bootcamp.

Why? Because why should you go through extra stress and work if you don’t have to? I’ve created a system that works successfully - and I’m happy to share it with you.

I’m passionate about helping other business owners. I have gone through ups and downs in business (and in life, of course!). I remember the days when cashflow was very tight and I wondered where my next customer was going to come from.

These days, we have waiting lists for many of our courses and some book out very quickly.

How has this happened? Because I use smart online marketing strategies and have implemented a SYSTEM that does most of the work for me.

A system that really works

At the Online Business Booster Bootcamp, I will walk you through the system you need to take your business to the next level.

It’s a hands-on workshop that’s geared for small business owners who want to make the most of low-cost or no-cost marketing strategies that can be implemented immediately.

There will be case studies, examples and – if you’re up for it – valuable critiques of your website or newsletters.

I’ll be honest with you.

• Some of you will leave the seminar and be able to use every single tool and technique that I share with you
• Others will cherry-pick the tools and techniques that best suit their business

If you leave with a SINGLE idea that can make a huge impact on your business, isn’t it worth it?

I'll reveal the secrets that have resulted in our business being announced by Dell as one of the 10 most innovative small businesses in Australia in 2009.

In 2010, we won the NSW Telstra Business Awards Micro-business of the Year.

This system will help you free up your time and liberate you from being tied to your business.  You’ll discover:

• how to build your profile and your brand equity online
• 5 simple ways to capture leads and turn them into customers
• what you MUST have on your website
• the essential elements of your website to transform it from a brochure into a revenue generator
• the essentials elements of a blog that can position you as an expert
• the 7 Golden Rules of an email newsletter that sells your products and services
• how and when to raise your prices on your products and service
• the software and systems that I use to power my business
•  (I’ve done tons of research on what’s out there!)
• how to create a system so that OTHER people sell for you
• how to automate your marketing (without losing authenticity or that personal touch)
• red, green or blue – how to test if COLOURS make a difference on your website
• the secrets on creating products that you can sell online
• how to authentically use social media such as Facebook / Twitter / LinkedIn to do your marketing for you (without embarrassing yourself)

What do previous Bootcamp participants say?

Sylvia Aitken:
“The information was excellent - extremely useful and practical. We were shown how to actually implement systems rather than just learning about the theory of implementing them. Valerie cut through all the confusion of the many systems out there so I now feel like I actually have the knowledge and tools to start implementing some online marketing.”

Amanda Hampson:
“Hallelujah - our eyes have been opened! Valerie has inducted us into the world of web marketing. The incredible detail of this seminar and thorough notes made a one day workshop into a web marketing immersion experience. Anyone - everyone! - who is serious about marketing on the web should do this course and save themselves months of blind messing about.

“The seminar has opened me up to the hundreds of possibilities and given me the practical skills (and the inspiration) to get started.”

Michelle Feros, Vision Decisions:
“Huge amounts of practical and useful information. This seminar has refocused me about what I need to do with my website and more importantly my business. My head is buzzing with ideas about what to do next.”

Debbie Ansell:
“The most enjoyable thing about the Bootcamp was the information that we learnt over the day, and the real life examples that were given. I definitely feel like I have all the necessary information to implement some of the online strategies discussed.”

David Segal, Front Row Events:
“The most useful aspect of the Bootcamp was its practicality. I’ve benefited from new angles and new insight.”

Trudy Johnston, TJC Publicity:
“The Bootcamp not only gave me the map of where I want to go, but also provided me with the vehicle and engine to get there. The Bootcamp has assisted with clarifying my strategic thinking about my business development with practical, workable tools to implement.

“Strategies I will be implementing as a result of what I have learnt at Bootcamp will be a finetuning of my promotional activities - overhauling the website, new tools for communicating with my target markets and creating new products for sale.”

Trudie Moore, Soul Surgery:
“The Online Business Booster Bootcamp motivated me to expand my marketing strategies in a more targeted way. It has inspired great ideas.”

Peter Mahony:
“I found Valerie's sharing of her actual experience and thorough research into what works for her and the Sydney Writers’ Centre really useful.”

Freya Purnell:
"I enjoyed Valerie's presentation style, the practical information and the broad range of strategies presented. I'm looking forward to completing my blueprint to take action! The bootcamp made a whole lot of things that I thought were just too hard seem much easier. Publishing a newsletter for ourselves (and not just our clients!), changing the way we collect customer information, packaging our services differently, looking for more ways to stop working dollars for hours. And being bolder in the way I present myself as the 'face' of our business."

Audrey McGinley:
"I now realise just how computer illiterate I really am and will take the necessary measures to address this shortcoming. I also now realise that it is better to make an immediate start on my website rather than making preparations for the "Perfect One" further down the track.The honest, enthusiastic, well prepared presentation by Valerie."

Shirley Mantfeld:
"I enjoyed learning about other technology I didn't think would be possible to do with our current resources. I have a clearer understanding of how to use the internet as a marketing tool and can now go back and think about how we can apply this with our current systems."

Mary-Jane Daniher:
"The generous nature of Valerie and her information sharing and tips - fantastic. I have a list of things to do that I have been putting off because I simply did not know where to start - a solution at last!"

Claire Thomas:
"The content was extremely relevant and I found I could apply the strategies to my own role at ACP Magazines, our members (newsagents) and also solo business owners. I have a feeling my friends will be recruiting me to help them with their online marketing strategies for their own businesses! I send an enewsletter every week and have done so for the last three years therefore our content and layout is a little bit stale. Bootcamp has refreshed my mind and given me so great ideas and strategies which I can implement straight away. I'll be refreshing my current enewsletter layout and copy writing and I'll definately be exploring social media as an alternative marketing solution for me and my members."

Julie Green:
"Valerie's down to earth presentation style, the interaction with the delegates, the handouts and of course the depth of knowledge and passion Valerie clearly has for the topic. A better understanding of what is possible in the online world for both my customers and my own business."

Claire O'Connor:
"Excellent information - specific tools - enjoyable delivery - perfect pacing - motivated participants - extremely comfortable venue - substantial take-home resource kit Learning so much has never been as enjoyable and effortless.

"I have motivation, a clear plan, immediate strategies to implement, easily translatable skills to apply to my current business and customers and any future endeavours. (Valerie planted the seed for several of those during the day. It was an powerful blend of creative and practical information to turn potential into practice.)

Amanda Gonzalez:
"Valerie's honesty and method of delivery was entertaning AND educational. I loved the real life examples, particulary the examples on writing magnetic headlines. I've been fighting with the dollars for hours model for 12 months. I've recently begun earning a modest amount of passive income through the business and realised this is the only method I can scale (and sustain). I've struggled to come up with ideas on how to increase my passive income - but not anymore! The Bootcamp renewed my energy and provided me with (too) many ideas on how I can achieve my passive income goals. The Bootcamp has proved to be a pivotal turning point for Untangle the Web. So thank you, Valerie, for helping me improve my business - and my life."

Julie Mitsios:
"The workshop was very well set up. It was great to have a booklet to refer to with all the resources that were covered in the seminar. Valerie was a great presenter and was very generous with sharing her business strategies and the ins and outs of what works and what doesnt.

"The bootcamp was so well structured and I feel like I have been given a blueprint to running a successful online business. I will be using everything learnt to re-launch my website into something much more functional."
