It's been an interesting couple of weeks in my facebook group "Business Owner Support Scotland" (or just BOSS for short):

https://b.link/Facebook-BOSS-group

This is where I post daily help, advice, guidance, inspiration and generally useful information for business owners across Scotland.

A couple of weeks ago we were talking about LinkedIn and how to optimise your profile.

This week it's mostly been about Mark Manson's interesting book as well as celebrating the attitude and determination of one of our members.

You should come and hang out with us for a bit - you'll definitely get something out of it 👍

Sometimes you may only handle the basic direction of your Facebook advertising strategy, and outsource the bulk of the work to someone else. How do you pick the right party to help with this critical task?

Choosing the wrong hire can lead to disastrous results, such as not optimizing campaigns correctly or, worse, running underperforming campaigns that result in money lost.

Do you want your business to be found online? Of course you do! One of the key foundation blocks for any business is to optimise their Google My Business (GMB) profile. This, and other tools, make organic search a valuable part of your marketing efforts.

It can therefore be puzzling and frustrating and potentially damaging to your business when your business doesn't show up when potential customers are actively looking for what you do...
- here's what may be causing it.

For any business to flourish online, it has to be present on Google. Ever wondered why your business is not showing up on Google?

On my facebook group this week (facebook.com/groups/businessownersupportgroup) I've been sharing some information, and training on how to make the best use of video in your business - why to use it, how to use it and the irony of why you MUST include subtitles.

I've also been working on adding more video to my business coaching website (https://squaredawaycoaching.co.uk) - yes, I do put into practice what I encourage others to do 😁

To highlight how useful video can be in getting information across in a short space of time, here is a video that came about after watching a Nationwide Building Society Ad (yeah, i know 😂) that talked about yoga and made me think about business coaching.

Who would have thought there was a connection between the Nationwide, yoga and business coaching!

Have a quick look (it's only about 2-mins long) and think about how much writing it would take to convey the same information (which nobody would have ended up reading!)

How could you use video in your business to better communicate with your audience?
