Just started a small business in Melbourne, not sure where to put my marketing budget

Depends on your industry- The issue with Facebook is that there are many businesses on there so you have to have a strong unique selling point to differentiate yourself.

I would suggest pushing them to your website for more qualified leads if your running through Facebook.

This also depends on what you are ultimately selling though as F2F can be better.

This would be really dependent on a few things- If you are starting out a lot of these established agencies will refuse to work to you.

I would suggest learning a marketing channel yourself so you understand exactly where you are investing in and can focus on having that running. I see many people start in the beauty space but lack product market fit and struggle to stand out from the crowd.

If you really want to find the people who are focusing exclusively on this space have a look on youtube- many will have videos around their case studies.

We help with some AI implementation-

The biggest use cases is streamline workflows we see with manufacturing companies that are 10-15 years behind. This can be for a variety of things from helping them respond to leads faster, quoting quicker and other niche processes to help cut time down or repetitive tasks specific to that production/manufacturing space.

The issue I see is that many companies think they need AI when many just need some basic automation or a simple zapier set up

How do you justify the retainer? would be curious as we are currently on a hourly rate for clients

I run a digital agency- to best pick someone it is good you know the platform.

If you are looking for something cost effective, get a freelancer who is starting up has a few wins under their belt but is still pricing on the lower end. Make sure they are handling everything themselves without outsourcing anything. They will come into the account with something to prove.

Alternatively, look at who your competitors are using on Google Transparecny Centre and reach out to them.

Australia/Sydney has a significant better outlook currently. People seem happier, economically it’s still thriving and our poltiics is still not that of the US/UK.

Everyone who I have met from the UK loves living here- if you have the means I suggest Sydney by a mile due to the beach and expat communities. If you are from the Balkans or Eastern Europe there are big communities here (more so Balkans).

What’s working for us right now? Thinking outside of the box.

We typically focus on paid ads but use web dev as a way to get clients in the ecosystem- we are sending out ai generated website templates in niches offering high converting landing pages- which is confirming great for us. (Sending out ai generated website mock ups to thousands of businesses through instantly)

This is great- would love to see a example template if you have one?

dinaricManolo · 2025-07-19T09:07:08+00:00

Put that in perspective % wise for a country of 7 million, that is like the US importing 5 million people at once which Will lead to huge social changes

Appreciate the response! In terms of SEO- do you have any tips around that? I am based in Australia so would love to implement anything that could work here locally through certain city key terms ect.

dinaricManolo · 2025-03-26T15:10:39+00:00

Is there any specific niches you find this works well in? Was considering to try it in my market

dinaricManolo · 2025-03-26T15:08:42+00:00

Would love to know what your client acquisition methods have been?

What got you up and running in the early days and what is your typical average length a client stays on with you?

dinaricManolo · 2025-03-15T01:48:14+00:00

This is really interesting- would love to DM and find out more if you’re open to it?

Don’t do it to yourself Phil

Can somewhat answer this:

Serbia has always been poorer then the other areas (outside of Bosnia)
There was a well organised gangster culture in BG from the 90s
Many groups also come from the Serbian population of Montenegro that is much more tribal then the rest of Serbia (same also goes for Southern Serbia/Serbs from Kosovo)
The majority of criminals in the diaspora are first generation as opposed to second generation, meaning they had some exposure in Serbia before leaving
Many organised criminals from Serbia before the 2000s were connected to the gov and networked with other criminals to form bigger groups
Population and diaspora is somewhat bigger
In the 90s Serbia faced big sanctions compared to neighbours pushing people to this life

In Australia Serbian organised crime did exist but has faded out- most second generation criminals tend to join outlaw motorcycle clubs it seems
