It’s been a while since I roped my husband into a It’s been a while since I roped my husband into a reel… and you all know he likes to upstage me 🤣🤣

So here’s a little bit of fun from our holiday!

And if you don’t want your social media reach to disappear into quicksand this September … you know where to find me! 

#summerfun #socialmediamanagement #marketingsupport
Hills I will die on... and to be fair, there are m Hills I will die on... and to be fair, there are more than these 3, but these are fundamental ones I will always fall back on. 

You don't have to post everyday and doing so often leads to burnout.
All selling posts are boring and actually if you get your content right they content will do a lot of the work for you. 
Show your face, please show your face. Show your knowledge and passion for your business; people want to see it.

These are three things I'll always come back to, no matter what the latest Instagram guru is saying.

Now I'm curious... what's a marketing hill you'll die on? Or are you going to challenge one of mine?

I know you secretly want to work with me… I see yo I know you secretly want to work with me… I see you wondering how your social media feed would look like if I took over waving some magic on your feed. 

Could you do some amazing videos of we got together. Would you hate it, or would you find you loved it after all… 

Could you finally let get of your email campaigns and have someone put them together and work on a cohesive plan. 

What would your marketing look like if it was strategic?

Maybe it’s time we had a chat? I’m back from my hols on Monday. Just saying….

Why aren't you doing this? Please do tell me and c Why aren't you doing this? Please do tell me and can I maybe help if you're getting stuck? 

If you are talking to camera on reels or stories, subtitles are a MUST. There is the obvious accessibility part, but also most people watch content on silent.

If you're not adding them people are most likely to scroll of by... which is something you don't want to happen after all the effort you have put into creating content. 

So if you want to icrease you views, add subtitles. Instagram, Edits, Facebook, Capcut and TikTok all have auto caption or subtitles buttons which make it really easy to do too.

Imposter syndrome is something that gets me pretty Imposter syndrome is something that gets me pretty regularly, I will be going along all fine and then bam... Edna (my name for mine) will think she knows best and I have to work my way through it again. 

But you know, the world is more than a bit bonkers at the moment isn't it? And I did have a supportive chat with myself the other week, and pointed out all the people in jobs who clearly shouldn't be doing what they are doing and some people think they're doing a great job. It's all about perspective, isn't it? So now I think of these people... one might be slightly orange-skinned... and think, heck, if they can do the job they are doing, I've got this!

And I would say the same to you. You've got this too, because I bet you have got so much more experience and talent. Remember those skills and remember that passion. I believe in you.
Controversial opinion, but if you stop posting, th Controversial opinion, but if you stop posting, there's a good chance people are going to think you've closed down. True story... 

I know social media can feel super overwhelming sometimes, and if a low-touch strategy is all you can manage, that's ok, but so often now it's part of people's decision-making process. 

People use social media to help them decide who they want to buy from, where they want to go and if they want to work with someone. Let me ask you, how many times have you done it recently?
