I am going to uninstall the TikTok app from my phone. Before I explain why let me tell you I will continue to upload content to TikTok and exploit it for the purposes of my business. I have written before about TikTok and the rapid growth in the number of fans/followers since I began uploading… Continue reading Why I am uninstalling the TikTok app from my phone

Social media comments-resisting the urge to respond
Many of the comments posted on my social media posts, including video on YouTube, are pure drivel. No basis in any rational thought, not a particle of common sense or rational, responsible thinking. I ignore them. I simply do not respond. I believe this is the best way to deal with them for I cannot… Continue reading Social media comments-resisting the urge to respond
Ignoring the phenomenon of TikTok would be a massive mistake for any small business owner
It has taken me over 10 years to get to 15,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel. But it has only taken 3 months to gain over 19,000 fans/followers on TikTok. Yes, the quality of engagement and support between the different platforms is different. The fans/subscribers on YouTube are probably more committed and supportive of me… Continue reading Ignoring the phenomenon of TikTok would be a massive mistake for any small business owner
Reducing my social media activity-a secret fantasy
Sometimes I am tempted to quit social media altogether. It would be a huge change for me. And perhaps an act of self-immolation from the perspective of my business, my solicitor’s practice. Or would my websites and blogs, together with my YouTube channel, continue to sustain and aid with the growth of my practice? There… Continue reading Reducing my social media activity-a secret fantasy
Monitoring and tweaking my social media marketing time and effort

Blocking tricolour flaunting social media accounts
I blocked a couple of accounts on one of my social media pages over the last week. And they had one thing in common: both of them had the Irish tricolour in their profile. The little green, white and gold/orange flag image. This is something I have noticed creeping into social media platforms over the… Continue reading Blocking tricolour flaunting social media accounts
The 2 most important tools in the development of my business
I was just thinking this morning about the two most important tools in the growth of my solicitor’s practice since I qualified and started my practice in 2011. I cannot separate them because there is an element of chicken and egg about them. But the two most instrumental tools or spheres of activity have been… Continue reading The 2 most important tools in the development of my business
Unfollowed
I recently expressed an opinion on certain social media sites about the housing market, the difficulty of buying a house, and the attitude you should adopt. In my humble opinion. It is just an opinion, and I am, like the next person, entitled to an opinion. What I had to say divided opinion and caused… Continue reading Unfollowed
TikTok early mover advantage
Since I uploaded my first few short videos around Christmastime 2021 I have been astounded by the growth of my TikTok channel. The numbers of likes, comments, new fans/followers I have seen has been amazing. And now with the opportunity to upload 10 minute videos the opportunity for a guy like me is mindboggling. When… Continue reading TikTok early mover advantage
Social media marketing for your small business-beware social media vanity metrics
I am rethinking my approach to social media marketing and the amount of time I spend on it. Since the beginning of the year I have been looking at ways to cut it back. I have wondered about the effect that this might have on my business. Twitter is a good case in point. Even… Continue reading Social media marketing for your small business-beware social media vanity metrics
