I've just come from the dentist and it was awful but now afterwards not so bad! Glad I took the rest of the day off though.

On the weekend we tried this recipe from Louisa Holst's new book. I've always wanted an easy way to make my own pizza with real bread dough and I think I found it. It came out like a pizza pie but still good. My son is very fussy, he moaned that he could have done a better job but he still ate it.

What do you think? Would you try it? Full recipe and comments up on the blog.

This is an uncomfortable lesson for me, but if I can save someone else, my job is done.

You can read the full story up on the blog.

CopyTrack is a legit company, but they follow dubious practices. They don't actually represent the client. They attack people who already have the right to the images.

Always do your research!

I'm speaking today at the Social Sells Summit! It will be a behind the scenes look at how I put a social media schedule together.

I also listened to Kira McCoy and she had some really interesting things to say about your messaging. (It's not about you. It's about what the person is looking for) But she is also into crafting and it's really cool how she described how she would sell a pair of earrings and what hashtags she used.
Lots of other ones still to listen to.

Another great lot of speakers today!
Today, there are two audios, so I actually listened to them while doing some cooking.
Amy Ayres is a great encourager if you've been scared to put yourself out there as an introvert.
Julia Zatta did a talk on LinkedIn, but I found what she said to be very applicable to any media you are putting out there, even for blog posts or any content. Something she said was to use those expressions that you are known for, use emotional, sensory stories and use numbers to grab attention.
I still want to listen to the rest.

Speaking today

✨ Jenna Webb - How to Authentically Use AI to 10x Your Art Sales and Social Media Reach

✨ Julia Zatta - 10 Copywriting Tips to Make Your LinkedIn Posts Pop
