....you wait for ages and then 2 come along at the same time Hi everyone 👏 It has been a looong gap between emails and - to be honest - I have serious imposter syndrome about sending this one as you joined my list presumably on the promise of social media tips. 🤔 I've been having a lovely time doing what I want when I want. Not being tied to social media posting schedules - or any schedule really - helping clients/friends who reach out to me because they know me or someone has recommended me....

Dear Reader Is it just me or do I keep hearing the phrase 'sabbatical' recently? It's a phrase I'm familiar with from my corporate days but - one of my long-term small biz favourites Helen Perry recently shared that she has found herself on a surprise sabbatical as she has 'fallen out of love' with Instagram - something I can relate to myself. 🤷♀️ This got me thinking, did I (we) need a significant life event to step back for a bit?

It's become a hot topic with everyone seeming to want to jump on the bandwagon about how you should be using it and why you should pay to get premium access - yeah yeah.. whatever! Don't get me wrong - I have loved playing around with the various AI tools (ChatGPT, Bard, MaxAi, Craft) and exploring new AI features built into my existing tools (ClickUp and Searchie) but the only...

Hi Reader How has your week been? This might be a particularly loaded question for any of you juggling children on half term this week on top of everything else. I'm lucky enough to be in the Austrian Mountains for a ski holiday. I am NOT a good skier - think knotted stomach, shallow breathing and unhelpful thoughts of everything that could go wrong - but the rest of my family love it so I keep trying. Today I had a few hours of instruction from the fabulous Ricarda who took me back to basics...

Welcome to my new newsletter Hello 👋 and welcome! Things might look a little different around here - or not 🤞 I'll explain more below but let me know if you see or experience any problems.. I love learning new tech but doesn't mean I always get it right! I've been considering switching from Mailerlite to Convertkit for a while now. I am still a huge fan of Mailerlite - particularly the free plan designed for businesses starting with email marketing - but Convertkit feels like the right next...
