(02)What to expect

Built for owners, not marketers.

You don't need a marketing degree to grow your business online. You need someone who will uncomplicate it.

Derek has led workshops for Cape Fear Community College's Small Business Center, and every webinar follows the same rule: practical, specific and easy to put to work.

01

Real campaigns, broken down

Derek builds a live marketing campaign around an attendee's business, so you see every decision in context instead of in theory.

02

The tools and prompts we use

Walk away with the software, templates and AI prompts our team relies on for client work every single day.

03

Your questions, answered

Every session saves time for Q&A. No question is too basic, and nobody gets buried in tech-speak.

04

Free to join

Sessions are open to everyone in the free Entrepreneur Bootcamp community. Sign up once and you get every invite.

Derek is extremely knowledgeable and easy to learn from. He broke everything down in a way that actually made sense, even the parts of social media marketing that usually feel overwhelming. Highly recommend!
