😱’Mamma Mia here we go again?!’

😭 Just a pic of one of my kids temperatures on another morning of perpetual sickness to plague our household!

🚨 But did you notice there’s music to go with this post and it’s not a reel?! WHAT?! A little update from Insta this week now means you can add music to your normal grid posts…great if you want to be a bit more creative in your normal posting but don’t have the energy or time to create a reel.

Hi Facebook! I'm making content for my own socials again...it's been an age since I was here last but it's all about business growth for the rest of this year so lets go!

Stephanie Drewery shared a post on Instagram: "Hey! It’s been a long time since I was on this account properly! I’ve still been working just not doing anything to grow my business BUT now is the time! So many things have changed in social media and digital marketing since I started so I’ve bee...

Hello...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s been a long time since I’ve been here. I’ve been on a bit of a personal social media detox and only keeping doing the bare minimum for clients whilst dealing with some really sad news.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not that long ago my Mum was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and despite everything that our marvellous NHS can do they can’t at the moment cure PC so unfortunately my Mums cancer was terminal from the start. The last few months have been really hard as we’ve all had to come to terms with what this diagnosis means.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last week we said goodbye to her for the last time and she passed away with us around her. I’m totally heartbroken and whilst I wouldn’t normally share something so personal on a business page I’ve realised it’s important to explain where I’ve been in so long!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m hoping in the New Year I can start to get back to doing more of what I love, this won’t repair the hole left by Mum but trying to gain some sort of self back is definitely needed for me to move any way forward.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks for reading.

Great advice from Laura Moore I’ve had mr website hacked twice in the last 2 months and have taken the necessary precautions to stop it happening again and the same for my socials...have you?

Entrepreneur Chelsea Shiels had been painstakingly building up her Instagram-based business for six years.

Something I love...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Day 2 of the challenge and I’m really enjoying learning more about what everyone loves, going to have a good scroll at more later!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So my favourite things (aside from my friends and family) are;
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☕️ tea (there’s no tea emoji!) I love the stuff and will happily drink it all day long - I’ve recently been told I need to cut down on caffeine so may need to make the switch to decaf soon 😑
🗺 travel; before kids we used to travel ALL the time, weekend city breaks, longer beach bum breaks and major explorations of continents. I still love to travel but let’s face it it’s not as easy with 2 kiddos in tow.
👯‍♀️ musicals; not even a guilty pleasure. I unashamedly LOVE musicals, all of them! Cheesy ones, jukebox ones, sad and moving ones, film ones but my favourites are Joseph the Technicolour Dreamcoat and A Chorus Line. Cool right?! 🤣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So there’s a few of my favourite things. Do we share any of the same loves?

Can’t remember where I heard this but it’s such a great piece of advice...especially if your product or service isn’t the sort that ‘looks’ great on the gram 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What I mean is a dry cleaning company could post pics of immaculately pressed shirts and suits but that wouldn’t be very inspiring would it? Instead they should focus on what their service can do for you; save you time, effort and make you look polished and professional.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So next time you’re about to market your business or brand think about what problem it solves for the person buying into it. Sell that instead!

Attention!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Has anybody been hacked recently?! My website and connected accounts have unfortunately been hacked twice in the last 6 months!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This may not sound like a big deal or a huge number but as a small business having your website or your email out of action for even just a day is a huge nightmare so I'm here to tell you you need to lock down your website and email security so it doesn't happen to you! Do it today!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Change all your passwords and make sure they're different!
- Get all the data and information on your website backed up so you have a copy if the worst happens!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Get an authenticator app so you have an added layer of security to get into your accounts, the app gives you a code you will use to login with alongside your normal password.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Feeling full up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s the last day of the summer holiday for many of us today. I don’t think I’m fed up I guess I’m feeling more full up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I used to love the summer holidays before having kids myself but now everywhere is just too busy, closed or crazy to navigate during the 6 weeks with little ones in tow. It’s been a lovely summer and we’ve done some brilliant days out, but it’s been fun being at home too. Add in trying to grow a business in that time too and you can see why I’m full up!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Back to more of a routine for us all next week and our usual hangout places being quiet and back to normal too. 😃
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you looking forward to getting back to a routine as well?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

That’s the amount of mobile phone users there are in the U.K; we are very much a mobile first nation meaning most people will use the internet and browse social media more readily on their phone and not touch an actual desktop computer or laptop.
-
What does this mean for you as a small business? Well if you’re wanting your ideal customers and clients to come to your website and do what you want them to do you need to make sure they can do that easily on a phone or tablet.
-
My top tip for Thursday then is to make sure your website is optimised for mobile 📱 browsing, most allow you to check what they will look like on the desktop 🖥 before you make any live changes.
-
This will make it so much easier for people coming to your website and with the improved user experience they’re more likely to stick around 👍🏻
