I made my client cry, and I'm well pleased with myself!!! Don't worry, they were happy tears. This incredible woman in business has been struggling for ages to get her head around her social media. She feels like she's spending way too much time on it and not feeling enough benefit to make it worth her while. The crazy thing is, she's already done the work. ✨ She has a clear mission on how she helps others ✨ She has a great group that is growing with active members ✨ And she's created some fabulous content that's getting engagement But everything just felt like it was a bit 'all over the place'. So, we've been working together to streamline her content and make life easier for her. And last week I was finally able to show her the FIFTY-post Content Bank that I've been pulling together. She got all choked up! This is exactly what she's needed and we already know it's going to literally change her life going forward. I loved doing this, it's a process I've developed in my 6 years as a social media manager and it's what I believe everyone should be creating. It's also the main thing you'll leave with when you take part in my 12-week social media course. We're going to create a bank of posts that you can use and re-use over time to make content creation sooooooo much easier. We'll also be: 🪄 Nailing your mission 🪄 Straightening out your platforms 🪄 Building your confidence 🪄 And analysing your results Imagine how it would feel to have your Social Media totally sorted before 2023 is over? I can help you with that! The course is currently half price and there are payment plans available too. (Plus, if now doesn't feel like the right to sign up, you can enrol for January instead and get 2024 off to a magical start.) Pop the word MAGIC in the comments, or send me a DM if you'd like to find out more.

The secrets behind why your social media posts aren’t getting seen 😲😲
Does this sound like you? You pour blood, sweat and tears into creating content only to hear crickets. You follow every tip and piece of advice you’ve heard from the “gurus”: ✨ You show up online about showing up ✨ You're getting as visible as possible ✨ You're being consistent with your messaging ✨ You post X number of times a day And you've tried ALL the templates that are supposed to provide you with 'copy and paste content that gets you fully booked'. 🙄🙄🙄 But none of it is working! Well, Amy Downes: The Content Planning Wizard and Fiona Green: The Creative Copywriter know what's going wrong and their going to be sharing the secret. This is a live going out in both their groups and on Instagram ahead of their Conquer Your Confidence writing workshop which you can find out more about here: https://www.thecreativecopywriter.co.uk/conqueryourconfidencemasterclass

🤔 There’s one question that never fails to get my clients to open up and I’d love you to answer it today too: 😨 What holds you back from posting on social media? The answers to this are varied always, but there is one overarching theme that impacts every single woman I work with: 🌟 CONFIDENCE 🌟 😪 She worries whether what she is posting is ‘right’ and what people will think of it. 😪 She worries there are too many things to cover and doesn’t know where to start. 😪 She worries no-one is going to comment on it, or there’ll be a nasty response. 😪 She worries no-one will buy from her and it’ll all be a waste of her precious time. 😪 She worries that talking about herself will come across as arrogant and put people off. But here’s my advice to you: ⏬️⏬️ As long as you’re writing from a good, positive place (which you will be, because you’re lovely), nothing you post can be wrong. Even if the reach and engagement is low, even if you get no response at all, you will learn from every single post you share and the more you publish. And, once you have found a way to feel more confident, you'll be able to: ✨️ Worry less about social media ✨️ Show up consistently ✨️ Make new connections that will grow your business Let me know in the comments below what affects your confidence the most on social media and come and join my fabulous Facebook group to get more help with that 🪄 And stay tuned for an amazing new workshop coming from myself and The Creative Copywriter ✨️ #mondaymotivation

I'm not gonna lie, I was sh**ting myself 😨😱 When we visited Portsmouth last week, my hubby really wanted to take us up to the top of Spinnaker Tower to show us the view. I made out like I was up for it too, but inside I was panicking and less than 15 minutes before this photo was taken I was preparing myself to chicken out 🐔 But I knew it would mean a lot to Luke. I knew Harry would LOVE it. I knew it was an experience I'd always treasure having with them - and I didn't want to miss out on that. So, I dug deep and found the confidence to get in that lift and make precious, family memories. 🌟🌟🌟 It's like with social media, there is one overarching theme that impacts every single woman I work with and stops them stepping out of their comfort zone to post about themselves and their business online: CONFIDENCE 😪 They worry about the worst things that could happen if they take that first step 😪 They let the fear consume them and they keep putting it off 😪 They're embarrassed people might think they're silly and laugh at what they do 😪 They avoid doing it for as long as possible, so they never get to see that, actually, everything is alright 👍 But here’s my advice to you: as long as you’re posting from a good, positive place (which you will be because you’re lovely), nothing you do on social media will be 'wrong'. And if you pull up those big girl pants 👖 and take a step out into the unknown, the rewards will be so, so worth it. I promise. 🌟🌟🌟 When I braced myself to step out on that transparent floor, I did it so my kids could enjoy a special moment with Mummy and would see me as brave and inspiring. If that's a good enough reason to make me stand 1,100 metres above the harbour on a pane of glass that's just 6 cms thick, then it's a good enough reason for me to post a selfie on my Instagram 🤣

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you get to live all your dreams, achieve all your goals and find the confidence in yourself to make it all happen. I'd love to tell you how I can help you do that through social media, but today's not the time for that. Today is the time for celebrating how far you came in 2022 and using that to shoot you forward into a magical 2023 🌟 I'd love to hear your top goals for this year (eek, can say 'this year's now!), so please do share them in the comments below ⏬️⏬️ #happynewyear #2023goals

5 things you should leave behind you this year, to make social media easier and less-time consuming... Swap: 🌟 Hiding your face FOR showing up and sharing your story 🌟 Free 5 Day Challenges FOR shorter, more valuable masterclasses 🌟 Lives where no-one turns up FOR lives that bring great value and you advertise in advance 🌟 Spamming everyone with the @ tag FOR tagging people that actually want to know 🌟 Keeping up with trends FOR sticking to your strategy 🌟 Being scared of Reels FOR sucking it up and giving short videos a try Stop wasting time on things that don't work and work with me in 2023 to figure out what does work FOR YOU. Would love to hear what you think of these suggestions 😊
