I feel compelled to stress that Google’s algorithm is amazingly smart. It’s insane how much the algorithm is able to understand. It's very close to reading text like human beings! So it's important that you have very well-written website pages that are optimised in a natural way in order to stand out in the search engines ... the days of cramming pages with keywords and rubbish repetitive jargon is OVER. If you pay for SEO please don't let your people ruin your chances of getting well ranked 🧐🤬

If you have received an email which you’re not quite sure about, forward it to the Suspicious Email Reporting Service (SERS) at [email protected].

Legit. And apparently it works. More about dealing with suspicious emails, calls and texts at

This is really useful - and it's quite fun. Generally I use passwords of 16 characters or more and I get a '9 trillion years' response - for this one I used a short 8 character password, I was shocked! Test your own passwords at https://howsecureismypassword.net/ 🧐😳

Great advice for those with a Facebook Business page! 👏

STOP ✋🏻 if you’re considering this 👇🏻 you could be about to ruin all your hard work.

This is terrible advice!

This is what happens when you do this:

👉🏻 you bring a load of randoms to your page. They’re not your people. They’re never gonna be your people!

👉🏻 your engagement rates will go down because they’re not your people!

👉🏻 you’ll make the algorithm believe that those are your people so it’ll show your page to more people WHO AREN’T YOUR PEOPLE!

👉🏻 the people who are your people won’t see your page because Facebook won’t show it to them because it thinks they’re not your people.

👉🏻 that’ll make you thing Facebook sucks when it really doesn’t!

So do NOT do this 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Instead do this...

👉🏻 share GREAT CONTENT
👉🏻 start conversations
👉🏻 keep going
👉🏻 stop focusing on vanity metrics

There are NO QUICK WINS here.

No magic formulas no secrets to instant success.

Just be consistent. Show up. Build relationships.

Use ads if you need to grow a bit faster as they will allow you to find your people.

But do not fall for these stupid viral posts that threaten to undo all your hard work.

And here ends my Sunday sermon 😉

Have you noticed YouTube videos are not quite what they were?? That's because last Tuesday they reduced streaming quality in an effort to ease internet traffic as more people stay home, causing a huge surge in the use of streaming services.

By default, videos will start playing in standard definition (480p) quality. If you want to watch videos in high definition you can still do so, but you must manually select that option. Stay safe 😷🤗
