Speaking
I’m available online and in-person for workshops, seminars, conferences, summits and podcasts.
My Angle…
Sometimes the online business game feels rigged. Access to your hard earned audience can change at the drop of an algorithm update and you end up jumping through social media hoops! How is everyone else doing it?
You don’t have to be a digital ninja to sell your services online, but you certainly don’t have time to waste 100s of hours on website tweaks and fleeting social media trends.
I’m a content strategist and designer for service-based businesses. I help people to connect with their perfect fit leads online so that they get more clients without hustling their buns off.
I speak on topics like
- Showing up Online: Creating content that converts.
- From Digital Overwhelm to Creative Flow
- My Story: From overworked and exhausted to work-life harmony (most of the time)

Is your service easy to sell?
I've whittled my services aaaaaaaaallll the way down over the years. When I started out I had a laundry list of services on my site and couldn't seem to get a handle on my marketing. Why? Because I was writing a CV not a strategic marketing plan. When I worked in...
Out of Office Visibility: Create a Summer Content Bank
When you're self-employed, taking a break is essential for rest and rejuvenation. I love to make the most of summers. I try to align with the school holidays so I can enjoy time outdoors with the children and travel back home to see family and friends. As a result, I...
Converting readers into clients: Your content has 3 jobs.
It feels like slogging away at social media, is part of the deal when you have a business. You pour your heart into value based posts, only to see measly results. It can be pretty annoying when you invest a tonne of time and energy into stuff when it feels like nobody...
Posting every day: An experiment
I recently ran an experiment based on advice from Gary Vee. He suggests posting up to 12 times a day in order to use social media for your business. (Check out my original post here) When I spoke about this concept on my own channels, it sparked quite a debate and...
You can now add 5 links in your bio… but should you?
Instagram's new 5-link feature: A blessing or a curse for small business owners? How excited are we about the new Instagram feature that allows each account to have up to 5 links in bio? It's starting to feel like more of a second website, than a social platform. We...
Gary Vee’s $0 social media strategy.
Gary Vee (Gary Vaynerchuk) is THE PERSON to listen to when it comes to social media predictions. His predictions for the growth of social media were so on-point that he was able to grow multiple businesses, to (let's say) squillions of dollars and massive online...
People buy from people they know, like and trust.
Marketing is all about getting people to know, like, and trust you. It sounds simple enough, but it can be tough to keep going when there's no way to measure! There's no way you can know how people are feeling about you and your brand, especially as a lot of people...
