As a social media trainer and consultant, I have been so blessed to be able to guide some of the most amazing people in starting their businesses — and then marketing their businesses, and I LOVE every bit of it!
Something that I’ve seen repeatedly though, are people who keep attending my classes (some for the last almost ten years). Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate repeat attendees, but the people I am speaking of are those who come back only with a different business or business idea each time.
I do believe in multiple streams of income, but we’re talking about completely closing down a business and then starting something completely different. Keep the main business, your main business – and your “side hustles” on the side.
I don’t knock people for trying. Trust me I know what it’s like to feel stuck or have so many ideas in your head you don’t know which way to turn.

In responding to those reviews, whether they are positive or negative, you always want to be polite.
Never, ever have an argument with someone on the Google review platform, (and even off of the review platform).

Because I and the other small businesses helping small businesses have been blessed during this time, we are doing everything we can to be a blessing — by helping small business owners to either get online or do online business better!

In a previous post, I showed you how to schedule posts from your Facebook Business Page, but I am aware that some of you like the client whose account I will use in this demonstration have to schedule posts via Facebook’s new Publishing Tool – as the scheduling option is no longer available for her when we create posts on her Facebook Business Page ‘Home’ tab.
