  • Once a month we ‘Spotlight’ one of our members and we all promote them for a month.

  • We still benefit from the traditional word of mouth business referral but the online impact we can all make on a business can be far greater.

What do I get as a member and why is SBN different ?

  • Each month we collectively discuss one of our members businesses and we all help with their online strategy that month by adding their content on our own websites, the SBN website and the SBN social media channels.

  • This monthly collective endeavour or ‘Spotlight’ helps each other and is proven to be enormously powerful.

  • At our meeting at the end of the month we evaluate the impact our collective effort has been to that members business.

  • We then vote to decide who will be the next member to enjoy the ‘Spotlight’ for the next month.
