Why now might be the perfect time to advertise your business on Facebook
Coronavirus has affected all of us in ways we have yet to determine. It is difficult to work out how we should be marketing or whether we should be marketing in such uncertain times.
A few key industry sectors are booming like finance, news, and food. A few have mixed results like retail depending on whether you sell essentials or luxury goods. And quite a lot have bombed completely like travel, construction, and advertising (see statistic graphs on neilpatel.com). So why would you advertise now?
Why you need to hire a social media manager
Whatever your business size you need social media. It has become a part of the marketing mix that isn’t likely to go away any time soon, even if the platforms of choice change.
Kapwing Online Video Tool
I have spent literally hours online recently trying to find an easy to use video tool that anyone can use and that doesn’t cost the earth. I really only wanted a couple of basic things: the ability to upload my own images (multiple) or footage, the ability to add text over the top of images, and the ability to download as an MP4 without losing resolution or the video being resized.

The theme of my holiday has been generosity
The theme of my holiday (and my first week back at work) has been generosity. Generosity not necessarily of a material nature, but of time and knowledge. People have taken the time to invite me into their homes, to spend time showing me their favourite places (blue lagoons) and activities (snorkelling, sailing and hiking). Entrepreneurs have explained their business ideas to me and shown me the inner workings of their businesses. People have shared their future career concerns with me. Experts have given me knowledge about business psychology and market research. None of them asked for payment and nor did I charge for the career counselling 😉 It is wonderful.
