March 25, 2019 14:05 - 27 minutes - 38.2 MB

FACEBOOK BLACKOUT Did you survive the Facebook/Instagram Blackout of 2019? Sounds like we're not safe yet. Post from Mari Smith: Uhoh--friends, I'm hearing of suspicious activity where people are able to log in to other users' Facebook accounts. As a precaution, you might want to immediately do the following: Go to settings > Security and Login: 1. Change your password. (Ideally 12-15 characters long, cryptic, upper and lower case, special characters and numbers. If you can remember y...

March 13, 2019 09:20 - 18 minutes - 24.9 MB

FACEBOOK BUSINESS FOLDER UPDATE Facebook Messenger update - business messages are now getting delivered to a "businesses" folder instead of direct to the inbox 😳 I see this having big implications on Chatbot message open rates.

LINKEDIN INTRODUCE JOB SEEKER INSIGHTS LinkedIn expands Job Insights to show top paying jobs...

SOCIAL SNIPPET SHOW | FACEBOOK GET DOWN WITH THE KIDS....

January 25, 2019 17:00 - 12 minutes - 17.3 MB

In this week's social snippet show we feature and chat about:- 1. FACEBOOK IS GETTING DOWN WITH THE KIDS Over the last few years, Facebook has gone from 'cool app' to 'visual message board for family and friends', and with that shift, the platform has been gradually losing its appeal among younger audiences, with some reports suggesting that millions of teens are abandoning The Social Network entirely. Facebook is taking another step to stem the tide of teens leaving its platform with its ...

LATEST NEWS: INSTAGRAM INTRODUCE THE ABILITY TO POST TO MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS

January 18, 2019 09:10 - 13 minutes - 18.9 MB

INSTAGRAM INTRODUCE THE ABILITY TO POST TO MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS In my opinion, I think this is a backwards step for Instagram. It will be too tempting to post the same content to multiple accounts. It is highly likely that some of your followers will follow your other accounts, therefore they will see the same content over and over. #NotGood for the user. YOUTUBE REMOVE THE ABILITY TO AUTO-TWEET VIDEOS As of January 31st, YouTube creators will no longer be able to set up automated posts to Twi...

December 04, 2018 13:58 - 12 minutes - 17.6 MB

FACEBOOK LET GROUP MEMBERS KNOW WHY THEIR POST WAS REMOVED This is an interesting and handy feature that Facebook is rolling out to Groups. Group admins will soon have the ability to let people know the reasons why they have removed a post from the feed. I love this idea and it will certainly put people off spamming the groups (perhaps LinkedIn should do something similar?) INSTAGRAM ARE BECOMING MORE ACCESSIBLE Instagram is adding two new accessibility feature to help visually-impaired...

Keep The Machine Running

June 30, 2015 18:24 - 8 minutes - 6.86 MB

I think that there is little doubt that running a business can be in many respects a more challenging way of earning a living than working for someone else, but as those of us that take this path know it has the potential to produce many rewards not available to us in corporate life. It’s not just the potential financial rewards that we see in our mind when we take the leap of faith to go out on our own, it’s the ability to go to the school assembly and sports day, to take the day for a fam...

How to be the best leader to work for

June 23, 2015 05:31 - 5 minutes - 4.81 MB

This month, I have the pleasure of attending an event called ‘How To Be The Number 1 Recruiter To Work For.’ It’s an annual conference and always a popular event – and why wouldn’t it be when the title promises so much! Who could resist? It started my brain whirring though, particularly with this Green Umbrella blog in mind. Maybe you’re not a recruiter but I wondered if the ingredients for being the best leader or business to work for are still the same? In my opinion as Managing Director ...

June 08, 2015 18:56 - 4 minutes - 3.9 MB

Vicky Boulton, Marketing Consultant for Fuel, talks about the importance of having good customer service skills in your business.

But keeping your existing customers is just as important as acquiring new customers, as well as being cheaper and easier of course.

I've Been Lazy!

June 05, 2015 09:14 - 10 minutes - 12.1 MB

Yes, I admit it! I’ve been extremely lazy in 2015. Do you know that I now have 40+ guest bloggers who contribute to the Green Umbrella blog? It’s like a well-oiled machine. They produce the content along with the audio. We then “top and tail” that content and upload it to our website twice a week. That’s great news for me as I have other people doing the hard work of producing the much-needed content for my website. It’s also good news for the guest bloggers as they have exposure to a large...
