That's a great idea too, @michelle-ecklor. Thing is only one customer is using my bag. The second bag is going to its new owner later this month. So that will have to wait for future posts 😄

@tara you know I'll do the dinner wrangle! What night?

I would also say that emails that go out during the show (say Thursday, Friday, Saturday) because a lot of shops are probably able to spend more time looking at emails then than when in their shops!

Also, @ann-tudor, I'm doing a class on using color to entice customers. If you have some…[Read more]

Thanks Tara. As a matter of fact, I almost always ask a question. Some advice I read before. But still, there is little to no answers that come in. My reach varies from 17, 37, 56 for usual posts. And my engagement is 3% – 11%. I did do a video and that reached 958 people with an engagement of 6%. So I still think I'm not posting the right kind of…[Read more]

What Jess said 🙂
And what Linda said – you get more views on your stuff, but the question is: what will YOU use those views to do? It makes a lot of sense for YouTubers, because “Hey, you're watching me now, go watch a longer video here” makes sense for the platform!
But if your people aren't really there and you don't want to…don't 🙂

These are some great suggestions! I'd also ask customers to post pictures with the way they use your bag. People love to see themselves and then you may get their friends' engagement too.

Instead of focusing on types of stuff to share (you gotta lot of good ideas here!), I'll double down on what Jess said and expand on it:
“The best way to boost engagement is to ask questions on the page”
So the FB algorithm doesn't show your thing to everyone who likes your page – it shows posts to people who have interacted with it. So to get…[Read more]

Hi Jess
I will fill out the survey later today but I wanted to pop in here today to tell you about how I'm learning about being a Virtual Assistant.

Technical education – Udemy
The website has many course subjects available
Many of the courses are free courses
I signed up for their newsletter and have 2 days to buy courses at…[Read more]

YAAAAY!
So excited!
I got confirmation I'm teaching, so we'll definitely all do a dinner! (wanna organize it @jill-wolcott? If not, no pressure!)
Ann, I can totally man your booth, just give me the hours you want me there! (I'm teaching morning classes, so I'm free all day, just hanging out with people and Introvert Recovering). Maybe someone…[Read more]

Hi @michelle-ecklor, I'm just starting out offering Virtual Assistant services. I sent you an email earlier today. I would love to see if I can help you out. Talk soon.

Thanks for posting. I purchased two phone holders the other day to see if I could attach my phone to my longarm and take videos of my stitching but neither worked. Back to the drawing board. When I figure out my camera, I'm onto a YouTube channel. Thanks for the link.

Yay, @riin-gill! That's wonderful!

Thank you all for being here supporting me. I am slowly feeling better. Some days are good and some are not but that's normal under the circumstances.

@jill-wolcott, I was at a six-month check up appointment for my thyroid cancer. I don't know if the protocol is the same everywhere but in Canada you're not considered cancer-free until five years…[Read more]

What about seeing it as a kind of art project to post each day some way you are using your bag? Like what you store in it today, which one you use today, how you combine it with your outfit…?
