SUMMARY:How to protect your social media accounts from being hacked
DESCRIPTION:Your business social media accounts are your shopfront\, your service desk and your ad engine – which makes them a prime target. In 2025 alone\, Australians lost more than $60 million to social media scams\, and complaints from small businesses fighting with digital platforms have jumped 127%. \nWhen an account gets hijacked\, the hacker borrows your brand’s reputation\, locks you out of your customers\, and can drain your ad budget before you even notice. \nThe confronting part? Once you’ve been hacked\, dealing with Facebook\, Instagram and the like is notoriously difficult – support is automated\, human help is scarce\, and there’s no formal appeal. \nThe reassuring part? Almost every attack succeeds because of a missing basic\, not sophisticated hacking. Protecting yourself is cheaper\, simpler and faster than you think. \nIn this practical\, jargon-free session built for small business owners\, you’ll learn: \n\nHow to proactively protect your personal accounts\nHow to lock down your business pages\, company pages and Business Manager accounts\nHow hackers actually get in\nThe simplest\, highest-impact steps to stop your accounts being taken over and deactivated\nWhy social media companies are so hard to deal with once you’ve been hacked\nWhere to get real help in Australia\n\nYou’ll walk away with a clear\, do-it-today checklist to dramatically reduce your risk — no technical background required. \nWho should attend: Small business owners\, sole traders and anyone responsible for a business’s social media presence. \nhttps://events.humanitix.com/how-to-protect-your-social-media-accounts-from-being-hacked-or-webinar-or-beginner

SUMMARY:From Building Audiences to Building Businesses
DESCRIPTION:You’ve probably noticed that lately\, having an audience followers online is not even getting close to bringing customers to your business. There’s a reason for this – and it’s not a big tech conspiracy. \nIt’s just supply and demand. \nIn 2016 there was way less content online to entertain and educate people on social platforms. Now content is is a neverending feed of ads\, reposts and AI slop. and chances are that you’ve fallen in to the trap of posting one or more of these things regularly. \nThere is a way out\, and while it’s easy to do\, it’s hard to break the hook of likes and comments. \nThis online class looks at what’s changed\, why and what you can do to benefit from it all. \nAnd at the end of this\, you’ll have a way to look at moving away from using social media for attention – and instead\, using it to build a real business. \nhttps://events.humanitix.com/from-building-audiences-to-building-businesses-or-webinar-or-beginner
