Module 1

Once you’ve got the core foundations of PPC down pat, we move on to learning about how you can optimise your campaign and make your PPC spend go further. This module will help you understand the role of landing pages and how to create a landing page that is relevant and enticing to your audience.

On top of all this, you’ll also receive relevant insights on how you can boost your own creativity and innovation, and use your existing skills to improve your PPC campaigns.

Managing and Improving PPC Campaigns (2hr 53min)

When it comes to PPC campaigns, there is usually no set and forget. Instead you want to be continually improving and streamlining your budget to ensure the best return on investment. In this module, we take a look at how you can manage and improve your campaigns in real time.

We’ll go into the specifics of managing a campaign budget and how you can optimise your paid search campaign. A paid media budget forecasting tool, paid media scenario forecasting tool, and PPC for eCommerce tracker is also provided.

“Learning is an experience. Everything else is just information.”
- Albert Einstein

I’ve worked in various digital marketing and business development roles for regional airlines, hotels and cruise liners. I managed a hot air balloon business, Global Ballooning Australia which took me around the world as I helped launch the experience to the international market.  I penned what I learned in a self-published book, Adventures of a Balloon Girl.

In 2014 I followed my calling to teach and became a certified trainer and assessor launching my own training and mentoring practice. Since launching I have developed over 30 online and group training programs specialising in digital, social media marketing, and tourism.

What gets me out of bed in the morning?

Igniting excellence in people! I love spending time with my family and using all the digital tools available to help business and careers grow. What really gets me out of bed most mornings though is my 4.30am alarm. I love to start the day with a morning run or strength training to keep me fit and energised.
