Meanwhile... 8 April, guess what we're still in

What total chaos, we seem to be sliding towards an accidental no deal brexit. The worse possible outcome for everyone thanks to our dysfunctional and unbelievably crap political system.

Bring in the Queen, a bit of direct rule, what else could be worse?

very useful! 

Just a reminder, Google is in the process of deleting it's Google+ archive, so if you had any data you wanted to keep, you need to download it  quickly.

FB 880 likes, Reviews/Recommends option seems to be down/not displaying?, Twitter 445 followers  and Google+ is now officially defunct, so it was shrewd not paying that any attention! So campaigns without any paid interaction are ticking over and growing organically.

Still plan to do some paid experimentation when budget dictates.

LinkedIn wise, I think it's dependant on the business type. I find it very noisy and self promo. I've got 3,863 connections and I normally go in about once a month to approve new requests and skim through any messages, of which 99% are self promo rubbish. I'm very lazy with linked in, but do keep my profile up to date as I know that some of the work I bid for, normally results in a search of my profile.

I know a few people now that make all of their leads from linkedin, but there's never enough hours in the day to get sucked into another platform, leaving comments, writing blogs etc. But if I was in need of a new means of lead generation, I would take it more seriously.

Excellent topic and the trap of many business owners.

If your business can't run without you, then you have created a job, not a business. I was very resistant to this line of thought and it took a business coach to point out the error of my ways, but it's a fascinating view when you think about it.

You should be working on the business, ie growth, strategy and direction, not in the business doing functional work that can be done by others. Otherwise it's just a job.

For such a popular website with deep pockets, Facebook has to be one of the most unreliable platforms going
