It's time to stop treating LinkedIn like TikTok and start using it like the B2B client engine it is. But you'll need to change some things.

Most buying decisions get made before anyone messages you. People research, lurk and decide in the dark, and 81% already have a vendor in mind before they ever reach out. So the version of you doing the selling is whatever you've posted on LinkedIn. If that's nothing, you're not in the room.

This session fixes that, without turning you into a full-time content machine.

Dante St James, Entrepreneur in Residence at Darwin Innovation Hub, walks through a dead-simple three-part approach to LinkedIn content that pulls the right people towards you. Posts that get strangers to follow. Stories that build trust. Proof that turns a follower into a paying client.

You'll walk out knowing:

- The "man on the street" test that fixes most bad posts on the spot
- Why small accounts now grow as fast as big ones, and how to use it
- The hook that stops the scroll in three lines
- How to mine your own client conversations for stories that sell
- What's actually working on LinkedIn in 2026, and what quietly died

No jargon. No obsessing over follower counts. No posting every day until you burn out. Just a clear way to make LinkedIn bring you the clients you actually want instead of the ones you don't.

Free to attend. Bring the business you're trying to grow and a willingness to post something slightly imperfect.

Your Instagram Captions Are Now SEO. Two things just changed everything about how customers find you, and most business owners haven't noticed either one.

First, Google now indexes Instagram. Your posts, Reels and captions from professional accounts can appear directly in Google search results. People who have never opened Instagram can now find your business through a post you made on your phone. If you're one of the thousands of Territory businesses running without a website, this matters more than anything that's happened online in years.

Second, Instagram capped hashtags at five per post, and Instagram's own boss confirmed what insiders have known for ages. Hashtags don't increase your reach. They never really did. The 30-tag blocks you've been pasting since 2019 were doing nothing. What works now is what you say in your captions, on your screen, and out loud in your videos. Instagram reads it all. So does Google.

In this free session, we'll break down exactly what changed, what it means for a small business with no marketing budget, and the simple caption, alt text and keyword habits that put your posts in front of people actually searching for what you sell.

No jargon. No theory. Just the practical steps you can apply to your very next post.

If your business is on Instagram, the rules just changed underneath you. Spend an hour learning the new ones before your competitors do.

A coffee. A snack. A great conversation with a group of people building the same kinds of owner-operated business that you are.

10.00am, Friday June 12 at Rabbit Hole Cafe, Darwin City

We all work so remotely these days. Especially when our business is operated from our home office. But that doesn't mean we have to stay disconnected.

Click over Coffee is an informal, casual catch-up sponsored by Clickstarter Education. We book a table for 10 people in a local cafe, charge just $5 to attend, and we cover the rest.

Your reach is dropping. Your engagement is flat. The likes, shares and comments that used to feel like proof your business was working are nowhere to be found. And if you're being honest with yourself, you've started to wonder if you've lost your touch.

You haven't.

Something else is going on, and almost nobody in the small business and not-for-profit world is talking about it properly. Organic reach has collapsed across every major platform. Facebook business pages now reach less than 5 per cent of their own followers. Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok — same story. The platforms changed the rules, and most operators are still playing the old game.

Here's the part that actually matters though. While the applause has dried up, something far more interesting is happening underneath. The businesses paying close attention have noticed that their revenue, their bookings and their qualified leads are climbing while their public metrics are sinking. The two numbers have come apart. And most owners are panicking about the wrong one.

This webinar is for you if:

- You're a small business owner watching your social numbers shrink while wondering what you're doing wrong
- You run or work for a not-for-profit and you're being asked to justify engagement metrics to a board that doesn't understand what they actually mean
- You're a solopreneur whose personal brand feels like it's slipping, and you're not sure whether to push harder or rethink everything
- You've niched down and it feels like you're failing, even though the work coming in says otherwise
- You're tired of the dopamine treadmill and you want to know what content actually grows a business in 2026

You've been told to do a pitch deck. You've searched online and there's a million variations. What do you actually need to put in there?

What the heck is a pitch deck anyway? We get asked that all the time. At it's most simple, it's a fast, easy way to know what your start up is all about and how you plan to make money once your business is actually happening.

In this quick 30-minute look at pitch decks we'll run through:

- How you will use a pitch deck in the real world
- What need to be in a pitch deck
- Variations of investment and sales decks
- What not to include

At the end of this webinar you'll understand where you'll use your pitch deck and what makes a deck a winner.

Take a day off from working at home each month and come with us at Darwin Innovation Hub. Connect with people and ideas through the day.

Working from home is great - until it's not. Eventually you miss brainstorming and chatting with others about ideas - and getting support on some of the things you're struggling with.

Coworking Fridays at Darwin Innovation Hub bring you together with people who get it. They've worked from home too - and they're really wanting to make connections while also getting work done.

You'll have access to wifi, power and quiet spaces if you need them for calls. Plus we'll pop downstairs for networking over coffee with others at morning tea, and we'll put on lunch for you as well. All you need to do is book your place and come join us!

There is no networking gene. There is no networking pre-natal preparation. You have to learn it. But where do you start?

In 2026 we're holding a number of "Practice your Networking" sessions to help those who are new to networking for business and careers answer that question.

A safe place to fumble. A fun place to stumble. And the perfect way to get clear on who you are, what you do and why you're there.

Our first one, held on Wednesday night, brought people from diverse backgrounds and experiences together to practice:

- listening for opportunities
- entering conversations
- answering "what do you do?"
- how to lead the conversation

We'll hold another in August. Detail of all our events are at darwininnovationhub.com.au
