Thank you so much to @fearless_networking for aski Thank you so much to @fearless_networking for asking me to be a speaker today. There’s nothing more I love than talk about social media and my job which I love. 

But I also love chatting and meeting with other entrepreneurs and small business owners. Who have amazing businesses, knowledge and passion. 

I love that @vanillaessencestyle and @sallysingsandsews recorded a reel there and then. I can’t wait to see what you do next!

Special thanks to @terryjoshi for filming me too ❤️

Not everyone will want me as their social media ma Not everyone will want me as their social media manager and jokes aside that is totally ok. There are some other amazing social media managers out there, quite a few I am glad to call friends too. Different people suit different people. 

Also you will never get hard sales from me. If I am the right person to help you with your business great I can’t wait to get started, but if I am not that’s totally ok too. 

I am a firm believer in lifting each other up and by doing so we all rise. 

PS - do you like my book book 😍 📚

Robyn @thebusinessnest and I talked about this at Robyn @thebusinessnest and I talked about this at our recent workshop. If you are not sharing on stories you are missing out on an incredible shout views on your page. But more importantly connection. Stories and DMs are where the real connections happen. 

I will also really argue that you need the share some personal stuff, let people get to know the person behind the business. Don’t be afraid to share the highs and lows. They are important. People want to come along for you journey with you.

When the content you created needs no amends 🙌🙌 it’s the holy grail. 

In all seriousness, I expect amends, typos are made sometimes, occasionally things need tweaking. It’s all cool and part of the job. 

And content creation… it’s one of the parts of the job in my options. 

What’s your favourite or least favourite part of social media?

This is one both of us swear by, and one Laura wil This is one both of us swear by, and one Laura will not back down on. If you want to succeed on social media you need to be visible, you need to show up. 

It can seem really daunting at first, getting on video, but the more you do it, the easier it gets. Instead of thinking it is as scary, another way to think about it is - you and your business deserve it. You deserve success and success does mean taking baby steps out of your comfort zone. 

Do you regularly put yourself on video and if not what is stopping you?
