Small businesses should constantly monitor and review time spent on social media sites

I always monitor closely my efforts and time spent on social media sites.  I am looking to ascertain what is working, what’s not working and trying to arrive at the optimum use of my time. Yes, I could spend plenty of time on all the platforms open to me, but I want to ensure the… Continue reading Small businesses should constantly monitor and review time spent on social media sites

Most small businesses are wasting their time on Twitter

I saw a tweet last week in which the tweeter was asking “how am I doing, is there anything you would change?” It turns out the tweeter is a barrister, and he has been tweeting decisions of legal cases for the last two years, or thereabouts, and was asking was there something else he should… Continue reading Most small businesses are wasting their time on Twitter

Jordan Peterson and “The Gulag Archipelago”

I have finished listening to “The Gulag Archipelago”.  But at the conclusion of the book there is an interview and discussion between Solzhenitsyn’s son, who narrated the book, and Canadian psychologist, Jordan Peterson.

Solicitors’ letters and their impact on the inexperienced and unsuspecting

Many people, if they receive a solicitor’s letter, are disproportionally affected by receiving such a letter. This is understandable as the letter will be written in a formal way and may contain some type of implied or express threat to commence legal proceedings on behalf of the writer’s client. It may be written at the… Continue reading Solicitors’ letters and their impact on the inexperienced and unsuspecting

The true test of your social media marketing

One of the most powerful ways of using the social media platforms to promote your brand or business is to get other users to share your stuff. A bit like a relay race.
