About Us
Hey there! 👋 I'm Regina — a retired Las Vegas police sergeant turned entrepreneur, and I built Simple Online Business Development because I was my own first customer.
I know what it's like to want to grow a business without spending hours on social media, without hiring an expensive agency, and without feeling like you need a tech degree to figure it all out.
So I stopped looking for the easy button — and started building it.
Today I create AI-powered tools, digital products, and resources designed specifically for women entrepreneurs who want to show up online with confidence and do more with less effort.
With 15+ years of business experience and a background built on integrity and attention to detail, I build things that actually work — for real people, not just the tech-savvy crowd.
If you're ready to simplify your marketing, grow your audience, and build something that lasts — you're in the right place.

How We Got Started
My journey started in 2004 with my first MLM, but in 2007, as a Las Vegas police sergeant, I was chasing freedom and a better work-life balance. I quickly learned that building a business online was far more complicated than anyone admitted.
Over the years, I watched entrepreneurs pour their hearts into their businesses while struggling to get seen online. Great products. Real talent. But no digital presence to match. Some didn't survive, not because they weren't good enough, but because they lacked the right support.
That's when Simple Online Business Development became more than an idea. I built it for the business owner who is smart, capable, and ready to grow, without spending a fortune or becoming a tech expert.
I was my own first customer. Everything I create, I build with that person in mind.

Yes... My focus is local retailers and small business owners. I like to help them market better with simple online strategies that don't have to cost a fortune. Many strategies are free to do - just take time. So many in my area rely on word of mouth (which is good), but don't maximize the marketing they can do online. Most platforms cost nothing. Doing my best to educate and help provide resources that help provide value.
Thank you...great strategies to help be of value to others in my community.

I know, easier said than done...I'm challenged in my own business to do these things but when business slows, I remember how I can add value.
Yes, I do. Youtube is its own unique platform. I also upload directly to Facebook instead of sharing you tube link.

I create 30 second video commercials for clients and they must have a Youtube channel to be able to syndicate their video.
Hope that helps answer your question
Nothing magic...just time.
In my opinion, you should always be updating you Facebook page, profile, etc.
You also have to be consistent in posting.

More importantly, post content that is if value to your target audience.
This applies to your website. Keep it updated. keep new content coming, and provide value.
I struggle with these myself. Its easy to get caught up in daily stuff and not stay consistent.
If you can, hire a virtual assistant to stay on track.
i like to spend one hour a week at least, setting up and scheduling posts on my social pages.
No magic...just work

if I were planning a cruise, I'd likely go through an agent.
long trip to Europe, I'd likely use a travel agent because I do believe they can get deals and things I have no knowledge of.
For the most part, I know I can easily do it myself online and Im aware that using an agent can be valuable to.
So, it just depends 😊

Like Ken, I would like to give more to charity and non profits. At the moment, I find myself helping them with my marketing skills and knowledge.
I recently began helping Ho' omana Thrift Store on Kauai with their website and social media and all I asked for in return was referrals to other business owners for paid work. That has actually happened.
Ho'omana is doing wonderful work with local youth and adults and seriously changing lives by giving them the skills to succeed in jobs, with finances, etc.
It really is "the thrift store that changes lives"
I also plan to do more paid marketing through social media targeting mobile users.
