Start building your own business in Digital Marketing and Social Media.
We have limited opportunities for Ecopreneurs who want to own their own businesses in Digital Marketing and Social Media. We run an entrepreneur program where we help you build a business of your choice. Most people have chosen to build a business as a digital marketing and social media agency. Why? Because there is so much demand from small and medium size companies to generate leads, bring in inquiries, build brand awareness and increase their sales. Digital marketing is measurable, cost effective and now in demand.
There are 2 programs
- A full time one-on-one 5 day program
- An online program with lecture notes, assignments and eMail and Skype mentoring
We will teach you all the technical skills, and at the same time jointly develop your own, brand, company and website, so you can offer clients a service in digital marketing. We focus strongly on entrepreneurial issues, coaching you to success, minimising your risks through the many years we have had as entrepreneurs.
Income streams from this business are both once off and on-going.
A full time one-on-one 5 day program
We set you up in business, training you in web development, optimization, social media integration all on an entrepreneurial platform and this takes place in Cape Town over 5 days (not necessarily consecutive). You will be the only person on the course as we focus to make you unique as a business servicing small and medium size businesses in digital marketing and social media. You will only need a laptop and thereafter will be able to work from any city in the world !! Our students have ranged from 21 years old to 70 and most have had no prior experience. The best ingredient for success is simply passion for social media and digital marketing.
The training strongly focuses on the transition from employed to the self employed entrepreneur. We assume the candidate has no previous experience and/or has never owned his own business before. Candidates would need to display a desire to be an entrepreneur and to own his/her own business. There has never been a time where change has come so fast to marketing, creating opportunities for entrepreneurs to help small and medium businesses grow their leads and sales to take advantage of these changing times.
An online program with lecture notes, assignments and eMail and Skype mentoring
After much demand, the 5 day program has been converted into an online course, where you can work at your own pace. This can take between a week and 4 weeks of part time energy, depending on your own schedule. Emphasis is on practical learning through assignments and one on one mentoring is through the digital mediums of Skype, eMail and IM. The course will leave you competent in being able to generate your own income by focusing on the needs of small and medium sized businesses who desperately need to build brand awareness and generate online leads. Students will need their own laptops/computers with internet access.
A fundamental shift has occurred in marketing (to find something comparable, you have to go back 500 years to the printing press, the birth of mass media – which, incidentally, is what really destroyed the old world of kings and aristocracies.) as a result of our changing world, and technology is shifting power away from editors, brand managers and companies, back to the consumers. The old marketing style was a monologue; the new digital marketing method is through a dialogue; for example Facebook pages where fans can voice their likes (or dislikes) of the brand directly to the brand managers or owners.
The only problem with the above scenario, is that companies and businesses haven’t changed the way 
they acquire new business and retain existing customers.
That’s where you come in. Your business starts during your training, and with the training and technology you will be given, you use the power of the internet to drastically improve your customers’ revenues. You will be able to generate cost effective leads for them, by your driving traffic to their websites in a cost effective and competitive manner. You will be able to turn their websites into lead generating machines and retain these customers as you manage their social media strategies.

What entrepreneurs are saying:
I look at it as an empowerment course. It gave me the initiative and know-how to succeed in the digital marketing environment. I would love to have another week just to go through the growth experience again. All that I learnt I use and continuously build on. Charles creates an environment perfect for absorbing and learning as much as possible. Charles helped develop and solidify the entrepreneur in me! Aidan Blundell Digital Cactus
Charles Bryant of Ecopreneur is an excellent course facilitator. The course was informative, application-based and he sets the pace according to his ‘student’ which is ever so important when trying to grasp new concepts. I would recommend this course to anyone who wishes to get into the digital marketing industry as you really will get the overall picture and learn how to implement that knowledge. Charlene Trytsman Digital Grapevine
When I selected the owner of Ecopreneur to be my trainer and mentor for a career in Digital Marketing and Social Media, I was not at all surprised to find that Charles Bryant was the complete professional with enormous depth of knowledge in the field. This after all is what you would expect when you are paying for training that will shape your entire future. The extra zing I got from Charles Bryant was his calm ability to sense my learning capabilities and to time and tailor the training content to suit my needs. A spinoff bonus was Charles’ gentlemanly willingness to share his profound knowledge of his field with no holding back. Thank you Charles! I am stepping into an exciting new career with confidence.
