She has worked with a huge variety of businesses including travel agents, hair salons, opticians, jewellery makers, shoe wholesalers, online home furnishing stores, will writers and wine merchants - to name a few.

5 truths about running a business on social media.

You must:

1 - get started

2 - be authentic

3 - join in

4 - turn up

5 - be patient!

On the 11th September 2020 I joined Steve Parker for his weekly show on Black Country radio.

We talked about how I got started and what you need to know about social media in 2020.

[5-min listen]. Working for yourself you’ll probably have a long to-do list and it never ends. So you can end the day feeling like you’ve not achieved as much as you could have. Now imagine being given that list by someone else. How long would you tell them it would take? Are there things on there that you’d say weren’t necessary?

Do you think planning or doing should come first? My experience in my own businesses and managing marketing for my clients puts me in the do first camp. But that’s not the whole answer. Listen now to find out the best method for creating your content and keeping your audience engaged and coming back.

Whether your business has thrived, survived or declined during the coronavirus outbreak 😷 I’m going to bet you’ve not taken a break? With working hours and office space already blurry and the likelihood that any foreign holiday plans will be replaced by more home time is it impossibly to get a holiday in 2020? In my usual practical Virgo way, here are some ways to make sure you get a break and protect you and your business by making sure you are firing on all cylinders!

In this extended period of uncertainty, marketing fatigue is setting in and remaining creative and positive, day after day can be taxing.
Clients have been asking me “is it ok to take a break”. Everyone is scared their precious work will suddenly go to waste.
When it is a physical health issue, we find it far easier to take this decisive actions which will protect us and yet for mental health issues it doesn’t appear that easy.

We will need our mental health, creativity and positivity once this has passed, and it will pass, so if you need a break, for your own mental health and well-being, then take one. Take those decisions which will not only protect your physical health but your mental health as well.

Take care and keep safe.

When we went into lockdown there was plenty of advice about using your time wisely to plan your business's future, marketing strategy etc

Now we're in extended lockdown and it's important that the planning turns into doing, otherwise, it's simple procrastination. But why wouldn't we go into the doing stage? Well, fear usually. Fear of getting it wrong or fear that it won't work. 

This is when it's vital to remember that as a small business, sole trader or entrepreneur you are the most nimble any organisation could be. Something doesn't work, you don't like it or you change your mind.......tomorrow you can change it.

So don't put off any longer - let's get doing! 

It's so important to keep posting and communication with your audience. That's easier said than done in normal circumstances but what about now when we are in the middle of a Global pandemic?!

We're going to go through ups and downs emotionally so how can you avoid bringing that emotional rollercoaster into your content? 

In this episode, I talk about when to avoid posting and what posts to share when you’re feeling emotional or less than positive!

You will also benefit from the last episode in which I covered how to prevent digital overload.
