When life gives you lemons, do you: ⁠ ⁠ 🍋 A

When life gives you lemons, do you: ⁠
⁠
🍋 A) Make lemonade⁠

🍋 C) Add a little vodka and soda? ⁠
⁠
I choose B but whatever you decide to do with any sour points this week, I hope you make the most of it! ⁠
⁠
So, really, what do you fancy: A, B, or C? 🍋🍋🍋⁠

⁠
Listen, friend: life is short. That’s why we need to cut working ourselves to death out of our lives and focus on spending our time doing the ONE thing we are born to do and let our team do the rest! ⁠
⁠
Now, let's seize the day. Who’s with me?!⁠

Trying to reach new heights in your marketing stra

Trying to reach new heights in your marketing strategy? Let me give you a sweet lift! 🍩🍩🍩⁠
⁠
When I first started on my journey in the digital marketing space 20 years ago, I did these 3 things to really get things going: ⁠
⁠
🍩 1: Create Valuable Content! ⁠
Pick one piece of super valuable content that you can create each week and create it EVERY SINGLE WEEK! It can be a blog, a video, or a podcast, but make sure you do it! ⁠
⁠
🍩 2: Measure Your Results!⁠
At the end of every month, take the time to look at your insights and analytics to see what's working and what isn't. Tweak your strategy accordingly and you'll start to see progress quickly! ⁠
⁠
🍩 3: Consistency is Key! ⁠
This is huge and something that most people don't do! Be consistent! Send your weekly email EVERY WEEK, create content for social media EVERY MONTH! Consistency is where it's at! ⁠
⁠
Okay, now it's YOUR time to take action! Which of these steps are you going to take FIRST?⁠
⁠

Can I tell you all a secret? The mister and I have a vacation planned without the kid!? We've only done this ONCE in 20 years!! 🏝️⛱️🏄⁠
⁠
When you have a kiddo with special needs, they definitely come first in pretty much every way. Eben turns 20 next month and he's doing so great! ⁠
⁠
Now, it's time for mom and dad to soak up some quiet time! Haha! I'll let you know how it goes when vacation time comes!

Often overlooked, but such a powerful social media

Often overlooked, but such a powerful social media tool, Pinterest is a great place to draw eyes to your business and generate sales! 💰⁠⁠
⁠⁠
By its very nature, Pinterest is for people to discover new things while they browse, so it's likely that if they're interested in what you're selling, it's going to come up on a board they follow. 👌⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So, how do you get your content noticed and pinned? 👀⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Well, let me tell you all about it on this episode of Digital Marketing Made Simple! I'll cover the benefits of a Pinterest business account, the different types of pins available to business owners, and how to grow your reach through joining groups, advertising, and engagement! 🤩⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Using Pinterest to market your business is a fun, engaging platform but definitely requires patience and nurturing. However, if you have a strong visual presence to market, the big, bold pins are a great way to catch eyes and draw them to your website, blogs, products, and more! 📈⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So, give the episode a listen to find out how you can find all those folks browsing page after page of pins and get your business in front of them with Pinterest! 👩‍💻⁠⁠

Recently, I was thinking about when I started my digital marketing agency (20 years ago!) ❤️❤️❤️⁠
⁠
Perhaps surprisingly, what gave me the inspiration was Eben, my son! Eben has Aspergers and after he was born, I quickly realized that going back to my 9 to 5 wasn't realistic. I needed to be available for doctor and school appointments, activities, and therapy. ⁠
⁠
So, I decided, I needed to create a business I could do at home! Eben turns 20 in May and is wrapping up his Bachelor's Degree, so I think I made the right decision! He is my heart! ❤️❤️❤️⁠

Who wants to play a game? There’s no denying the 90’s are back, but tell me: how did YOU get down in the last decade of the second millennium? 💽💽💽⁠
⁠
I, for one, was all about grunge! All about it! I wanted Kurt Cobain to be my boyfriend! I must have listened to everything Nirvana on repeat! I know every. single. word. ⁠
⁠
I never got rid of my @docmartensshoes and I regret nothing (OK, maybe a few things)! Tell me about YOU in the 90’s! Bonus points if you slide a pic into my DMs!

When you were little, were you Team LEGO or Team Nintendo? Haha! Am I showing my age? 🎮🎮🎮⁠
⁠
I preferred Nintendo because I was always excited to get to the next level! ⁠
⁠
It's funny, that's how I feel about my business now too! I'm always excited to get to the next level and there is no greater reward than building a business I love! ⁠
⁠
What are you proud of creating, friend?

I have a confession to make... I struggle with MAS

I have a confession to make... I struggle with MASSIVE anxiety/depression and have since I was about 12. I was chatting with the mister last night about how it stopped me from doing so much in my life when I was young! ⁠
⁠
After several years of weekly therapy, I've been anxiety-free for quite some time! In fact, I keep rescheduling my next therapy appointment, because I've been feeling so great!⁠
⁠
It's not to say that I don't have bad days or tough patches but they aren't debilitating anymore. I don't have that anxiety cloud hanging over me 24/7! ⁠
⁠
Here are the things that have helped me the most:⁠
⁠
😍 Therapy including EMDR⁠
😍 Boundaries ⁠
😍 Medication ⁠
😍 Exercise every day⁠
😍 Getting outside every single day⁠
😍 Meditation ⁠
⁠
Has anyone else struggled with anxiety? I think it's so important to talk about. I was ashamed for so many years and thought I could manage it if I was only stronger or exercised more! I couldn't exercise my way out of it, there was so much more to it! I was wrong, I needed to ask for help and when I did, it was life-changing.

What are you looking forward to this month? ⛱️

What are you looking forward to this month? ⛱️⛱️⛱️⁠
⁠
The mister and I are sneaking away to meet our best friends in the Florida Keys! To say I’m excited would be an understatement.⁠
⁠
All I can think about is morning paddleboarding! It's hands down my favorite activity we do in the Keys. We always see so much wildlife! I'm hoping for sharks again this time! ⁠
⁠
What’s your April looking like? I want details!⁠
⁠
And if you're wondering how on Earth, you're ever going to take a vacation, let's chat! My team and I can support you so you can sneak away on a little vacation too! You deserve it. ⛱️⛱️⛱️

How’s your day going? Today started off like any

How’s your day going? Today started off like any other Monday for me, but it quickly took a turn for the best! 🍋🍋🍋⁠
⁠
I woke up to a full week's schedule of consultations! Hooray! Getting to work with so many amazing entrepreneurs and small business owners makes me smile! Almost as much as Lemonheads! 🍋🍋🍋⁠
⁠
Are you looking for a collaborative partner to take your business to the next level? Grab a spot on my calendar to chat!

Are you one to set goals or go with the flow? ♥️♥️♥️⁠
⁠
I need a clear “bullseye” and a strategy plan for almost everything! Which can be a pain if you're married to me? Haha. ⁠
⁠
But often what’s more important than a goal is how I’ll treat myself when I reach it!⁠
⁠
Right now, I’m aiming to launch our new vacation rental website. I'm so close and as soon as it's done, I'm definitely treating myself to a full day of relaxation! ⁠
⁠
Setting goals is so much more fun when there’s an incentive at the other end. Tell me, what are you working toward, and more importantly, how will you reward yourself when you get there?⁠
⁠
P.S. If you need help reaching or planning your business goals, let's chat! It's kind of my thing! ♥️♥️♥️

When it comes to FOOD and website traffic, organic

When it comes to FOOD and website traffic, organic is my favorite! 😜⁠
⁠
In digital marketing, organic traffic would be folks who visit your website from unpaid sources, like Google searches or your regular content.⁠
⁠
Free website traffic?! Sign me up! 🙋‍♀️⁠
⁠
Well, hold on. I have good news and bad news. The bad news is it can be a total time suck. ⏳ The good news is that an experienced virtual assistant can boost your organic (free 💸) traffic to your site and save you a lot of time!⁠
⁠
Check out this week’s episode of Digital Marketing Made Simple; I’m going to break down some of the best ways to get more organic traffic! If time is an issue, I got you covered!⁠
