Hey guys...
Simon Here 😃
It's been a while I know (2020 kinda got in the way)

So, I've been quiet for a little while...

I wound down my previous partnership at the end of last year and took a little time to evaluate things.

I created a new company back in July after working under my own name for a while since the split from my business partner at the beginning of the year.

It's been a funny old year for most of us, thankfully it's been kind to me and mine.

I've been a little slow in promoting myself but those that know me
know I'm better at singing about everybody else than I am about me... (I've been busy)

I've been very lucky to have some great clients that have done well through lockdown but thought it was about time that I made it known what I'm doing now.

So here I am... I hope to help (what I do best) so please stay tuned for what's to come.

I'm a helper by nature, I build businesses, I'm a marketing veteran with 30 plus years in the industry (feel old when I say that) I wear Many Hats but I have one goal... to help you build your business.

Honest, no-nonsense (Yorkshire) advice & wisdom (is that a thing) I think it is ❤️

All the best

Simon
p.s. the pic is me and my best friend and wifey (she's much more photogenic than me)

Here's my brand new page, not sure what I'll do with this one yet but for those that want to follow my new journey or need help with their own...
Then check out: Many Hats Agency (you may even get to see me wearing some funny hats) 🕵🏻‍♂️

See you on the other side ❤️

Facebook to launch deeper shopping experience. This is potentially great news for smaller e-commerce businesses or anybody wanting to launch an online selling business.

"We're seeing a lot of small businesses that never had online presences get online for the first time," CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a livestream announcing Facebook Shops on Tuesday. "For a lot of small businesses in this period, this is the difference between staying afloat and going under."

Facebook is starting to go up against Amazon and eBay as it attempts to encourage people to buy things on its social network.

STOP WEEEEEEING EVERYWHERE!



Yes, you heard me right - Stop WEEEEING all over the place!

Weird right? Yes, but everybody is doing it… So, STOP, NOW! 🤔



What the Heck am I on about now? Another one of my little Facebook Rants…

 Are you guilty? Do you Weeeeeee on your website, on Social Media, are you Weeeeing everywhere?

Hopefully the penny has dropped and you don’t think i’m a crazy man… (I may be but that’s beside the point)



Take a quick look at your website, at your social media posts or ads… in most of the groups you're in. 

Is it all about you, your company, even your product. About how great you are, what qualifications, awards or certificates you have.

We this, we that, we the other…. (boring) 😴

Truth… Most prospective customers don’t give a Flying Squirrel Fart about any of this, until… wait for it…

They know how you can help them or what’s in it for them.

The more perceptive of you will already have guessed what I do, without me even saying it. 
Hopefully i’ve given you some value. Something you can take away and use to your advantage.
Try playing around with it, add some personality, give some value… use curiosity, stand out, be real!

I cover this and lots of other handy tips, tricks, and hacks to Boost your Business in a little group I created.
I’ve been doing this online marketing stuff for a looooooooong time… I was doing it before the Tinterweb was even invented.

I recently made it my mission to help business owners cut through the crap, learn some new stuff themselves and get savvy.

I do this in my Group Social Media Boot Camp - Business Booster

I can be blunt, sometimes entertaining and hopefully always informative.

It’s turning into a great little community, No BS and no sales pitch… Maybe the occasional daft rant from me, but hey business doesn’t need to be boring right?



Hope to see you on the other side.

Simon

Promo movie production...

Facebook loves video, giving better reach and engagement over flat images.

Here's a little promo video I just did for The Moretti Club - I say little, it's 4 mins long to go with a great sound track provided.

Movies can be anything from 10 seconds long for use in Ads, Posts or even your timeline cover.
