    Pinned posts: everything you need to know

    Imagine you got someone – let’s call them Max – to check out your Page or Profile. At this point, Max might have seen a few of your posts, they might have met you at a networking group, or they might have heard about you from a friend. The important thing is that they are…

    Let’s talk about Instagram

    I’d like you to picture a quaint yet busy little town, a hectic little street with cobblestones full of chatter, dogs barking and kids screaming that they want ice cream. Now I know what you’re thinking: “What has this got to do with my Instagram??”. Please bear with me and take a walk down this…

    Social Media: What’s Your Strong Suit?

    Among all the rules, algorithm hacks, and consistency challenges, it’s easy to get lost in what everyone else is doing and in what you’re told you “should” be doing.

    Beat the pressure of Christmas Social Media

    What does Christmas look like for you and your business? Is it your busy season or your time to relax with your family? Or maybe, a bit of both? Or maybe it doesn’t affect your business at all? For me, it doesn’t mean much. I don’t take time off just because it’s Christmas (except maybe…

    Which platform for your business?

    You’ve probably heard me say this before, but one of the most common Social Media Marketing mistakes I see small businesses make is trying to be everywhere. The truth is, one or two well-managed platforms are better for your business than five or six neglected platforms. So how do you choose? 3 key factors to…

    Keep up your social media momentum

    I often see small business owners make the decision to smash their social media. They go all out and then crash out a few weeks down the line. So how do you keep that momentum up? I followed the Couch to 5K program through the easier weeks, through the challenges I wrongly thought were too…
