Exciting Emails: The Podcast [Episode: 014] My Top Instagram Hashtags Tips
Filed under: Instagram
I’ve studied everything Instagram have EVER said about the algorithm, plus kept an eye on other bloggers with similar accounts and similar audiences to see how they’ve managed to grow and NOTHING was working.
Then I remembered hashtags. Like the clueless uninfluencer that I am. And decided that it was something I could try to see if it would help.
And boy has it helped. One post, one day later than the next gained me a ton of new followers and had more than 2000% more impressions JUST because of hashtags. Like literally from 83 to 3k+

Exciting Emails: The Podcast [Episode 009] Pinterest For Blogging & Why We Need To Utilise It Now
Filed under: Pinterest
Part one: Currently over 250m people access Pinterest every month with around 50m of them hailing from the UK. They use it to essentially see what to do, what to buy and what to create. This means it’s an unbelievable tool to master for bloggers and online business owners a like – that’s a LOT of people seeing your content. And no silly, ‘let’s limit it to 6% of your followers’ business going on either.
Now I am NOT a Pinterest expert, so what I thought I’d do is kind of like a walkthrough episode for ya so that you can get your laptops or phones out and implement some tweaks and changes as we go through OR if you’re on the go, this episode might just lift the lid on what a GIFT Pinterest is for bloggers and online business owners a like.

Exciting Emails: The Podcast [006] Identifying Your Ideal Reader & Why It’s The Key To Blogging Success
Filed under: Audience
When I first started blogging, I wrote for myself as one big whole brain fart of thoughts, observations, musings and interests. It continued this way for a long time. Suddenly I started having regular readers who would chat to me about how they were feeling the same things and going through the same experiences and I loved the thought of connecting with people like that. What I didn’t realise at the time though was that I needed to be more aware of who these people were so that I could better help them through my content.
In this episode, I’m going to talk about what an ideal reader is, why it’s important to know who yours is, how to find out who they are and then how to implement that knowledge into your blog! BEEEEFY right?
