What a way to spend a week. I had the pleasure of visiting Groote Eylandt in the Gulf of Carpentaria to work with the wonderful staff at South32 GEMCO delivering some beginner and intermediate workshops working with Excel.
Great group of people, great views and most importantly great food at the mess hall.
Thanks for a great week.
just to tease here are a couple of pictures from my accommodation.

How to spot a scam email in a couple of easy steps.

1. Open the email, make sure not to click on any links. This can be safely done on an iPhone or in the junk folder on your PC / Android.
2. Anything that’s addressed to you should have your name eg “David” not a generic term like “info” in the example below.
3. Click on who sent it to you. If it’s from a reputable company the email address should match the business. In this example you can clearly see that it didn’t originate from Microsoft.
4. Delete as necessary. DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS.

Reputable businesses should have a branded email eg [email protected] not a gmail, yahoo, outlook etc. There are exceptions to the rule namely some sole traders etc.

Day 5. Linkedin

LinkedIn is a major social media site that is often under-utilized. Don’t just add network connections and sign out; enter into dialogue with the connections you make, share your blog posts and offers, join and contribute to forums, and share others’ quality content.

LinkedIn for business allows you to build credibility, create a meaningful network, and glean insider expertise from established experts in your industry.

More than 30 million companies use LinkedIn for business. Not just because it’s the preeminent social network for recruiting and hiring top talent. With more than 690 million members, more and more brands are using LinkedIn marketing to network, connect, and sell.

There are LinkedIn marketing tools available for every business size and type, from small to large and B2B to B2C. This guide will show you how to use LinkedIn for business, equip you with the best tools, and help you get the most out of your LinkedIn marketing strategy.

There are many marking e-resources to help maximise this untapped resource.

For more information feel free to reach out to us.

Welcome to day 4, Hashtags!

Another free marketing tip that can broaden your reach is to incorporate hashtags into your social media posts—on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok for sure but also for Facebook and LinkedIn.

Broad or trending hashtags can help you reinforce your brand identity, but they should not be the only hashtags you use. More specific hashtags (sort of like long-tail keywords) are good for when you’re providing resources or advice. Location-based hashtags are a must if you’re a local business. And don’t forget custom hashtags! Apply a mix of hashtag types in your posts so they can reach the people for whom they are meant.

Please feel free to reach out if you need more information.

Sorry for the delay in posting the marketing ideas for 2021. I must admit I have been a little slack. That's no excuse, so without any further ado,

Day 3: Tagging, (things that start with @) not to be confused with Hashtags (things that start with #)

This is a great FREE way to enhance your reachability on social media.

Tagging loyal customers or even neighbouring businesses on social media can broaden the organic reach of your business to a new potential audience. Tagging helps you grow your following, and potentially even attain more clients. You should also encourage your followers/clients to tag your social media handle or business location in their posts.

Eg: a client could purchase a dog collar from you, they post an image on their socials with their furbaby wearing it and tag your business, simple and easy.

It can also work when you share their posts with their tag (with their permission of course)
