Sometimes I get the feeling that some of my clients think I 100% of the time have my work s**t together. LOL

While operationally my business runs smoothly, there are lots of admin tasks on the backend (maybe I need to hire a Virtual Assistant!!) that sometimes just get shuffled in and amongst other tasks.

One specific thing (almost embarrassingly so...) is that I switched phones last January. 1.5 years ago. There are a number of things I still use on that old phone so I've become one of those two-mobiles-people who switches back and forth.

One thing that did not work (much to my frustration and hours of wasted time) was my work email. I can receive and read emails on my new phone but I could not send.

For a while it worked on my old phone still and that recently also quit working so I've been limited to just sending correspondence on my computer. Not a biggie - I do the biggest chunk of my work through my computer. But today my work email on my laptop stopped working!! NOT IDEAL. What is happening??

I have an email through Private email with Namecheap. I know all the techy geeky stuff that goes along with it, but sometimes these things sneak past even me. I had to contact their chat support. They're great! Two thumbs up for Namecheap all around - I think they're great to work with and their domains are affordable... but I digress.

In getting my email situation resolved today, I asked their support if they could also help me get it working on my phone. They sent me a Namecheap walkthrough. So much more helpful than what Google provided me. The port number that worked on my old phone wasn't the same that it now needed. Here I thought duplicating it all would work brilliantly! My mistake lol

All of this (sorry for the long story) to say that I can now send emails from my phone. My actual phone, not my old work phone. It only took 1.5 years to deal with it.

I prioritize my clients' issues over my own quite often, and that's okay with me. My point is though.... I get it. Not all business-related things get the opportunity to become a priority. Sometimes they just get handled as they come across your desk and sometimes you just need to hire someone.

Are you not seeing the engagement or growth that you had hoped with your social media?
Maybe you're just starting out and you're not sure what to do next.

So let’s talk about websites.
I see so many conversations online about what on earth to be at when you want to get a website, you don’t know who to host it with, where to buy your domain, etc.

Let’s break it down!

-> Having a website is a great way to promote your business, but it has to be utilized so that it’s not effort or money down the drain. We’ll talk about that.

A website is a perfect place to sell your physical product, to showcase your journey with a direct sales company, to collect longer written content and it can be a hub, essentially, to showcase all the aspects of your business, what your services options are and how to contact you.

These days, a website can showcase your latest Instagram posts, it can hold a collection of blog posts (which is a plus if you’re looking to be found through search engines because the more written content you have on your website means that you have more keywords people can search for and can be used for sites like Google to send people your way)… your website can home your testimonials, your products, it can filter your audience to your email list, and it can also direct them to your LinkedIn page or YouTube channel, as just a couple of examples.

Your website is a blank canvas where you can show your audience anything you want, in the way that you want.

You can direct them to other areas, based on whatever your goals are for your business. Maybe you are a new restaurant and you want to have a grand opening… you can display beautiful culinary photos, share a link to the Facebook event where people can RSVP and engage with you about the event, you can also connect them to a landing page where perhaps you sell online cooking classes or a membership. The options are nearly endless with a website.

If you’re just starting out and you’re looking for a website, message me to chat about what you want to show your audience and I’ll go through how we can most efficiently build that in a super affordable way.

If you’re frustrated that your current website isn’t what you want it to be, let’s do an audit. I’ll map out the changes that will really make your site more accessible and more inviting for your audience.

This might be one of those unpopular opinion posts, because my perspective on this might be out of the norm.

I think as long as you’re happy with the amount of sales or engagement that you’re seeing for your business then you’re doing enough on social media. Just stay consistent!

Not seeing the sales that you want?
Then you need to do two things: re-evaluate how often you’re posting AND take a hard look at what you’re posting.
If your content is hard to connect with, or you’re missing the mark on asking for that call to action, then you are likely missing out on potential sales.

Don’t waste time guessing what you need to do. If it feels like you are posting too little, maybe too much, there is something that isn’t working and we can figure out what that is … and create a plan that will give you results.

I follow people online who post online a few times a week and do great with their engagement and conversions of interest -> sales.
I also follow people who post every day throughout the day and they are killing it with engagement and their business is doing awesome!

It has to feel right for you - but what you are posting is much more important than how often you post.

Let’s review your content and create a consistent, engaging feed of material for your audience.
