The other day I saw something in a Facebook advert that pretty much pushed me over the edge. I am sick and tired of seeing con artists draw people in to their businesses with false promises, and even worse faking the results they've had in the past themselves. What did I see.....you'll have to listen to find out. Hi, I'm Simon, and welcome to Daily Perceptions.

FINALLY IT’S OK TO SPEAK TO YOUR TEDDYBEAR When it comes to going live, or doing video for your business like a live a lot of people struggle with different aspects, one of the main ones being is actually connecting with the audience. We all buy on emotion and a great way of creating this is by talking to not at the audience so creating a great connection between you and the people watching behind the lens. This is so important, talking to the lens. If you keep looking at your screen, it’s like talking over someones shoulder in a real life conversation. So, you have to learn to speak to the lens, ones of the best ways of doing this is my teddybear technique. Place a soft toy behind the lens and speak to it, you can replace this with a photo of a friend or partner, but, speak to that and create that connection between you and the people viewing your content. If you want to know more about how to make live video work for you, drop me a line, I’d be happy to chat, (links below) Hi, I'm Simon, and welcome to D

Did you know it's #beerloversday ? There are so many different types of beer right now in the world, so how do you know which one to choose as your favourite, well you have to test them obviously. Now I'm not endorsing you to try every beer in the world right now, but, have you possibly thought of your social media this way? The old Gerald Ford quote of "50% of my marketing works, I just don't know which 50%" is more prevelant now than ever. So many brands and businesses using social media but without any forsight or knowledge of testing....so what do I mean by testing? Hi, I'm Simon, and welcome to Daily Perceptions.

Today is skyscraper day, and I often talk about how important the build is on social media, just like the slow build of a skyscraper. You don't get an architect to draw up plans and have a building the next day. You need to plan what the building is for, then get plans drawn up for the building then foundations then begin building and so on and so forth, well social media is the same, it takes understanding of your audience, planning, consistency of working and patience not expecting results instantly.

Hooray, it's the weekend.....a chance to relax, time with family, chill out and spend time not thinking about work.......well for most. If you work in social media or run your own brands social media accounts, a weekend is an opportunity to speak to a whole new audience, but also to do something your competition might not be doing as well. Social media does not work a five day week and neither should you. I'm not suggesting you work 7 days a week but a weekend is still a chance to be posting content and speaking to your audience and those potentially new people seeing your content for the first time ever.

It's never give up day on the social media podcast. I thought this was a hugely apt day to celebrate on social media as so many people will put initial effort into their social media and then suddenly because they're not getting the results they expect they give up.....the problem is, social media isn't a magic pill, it doesn't create results quickly when you're working organically.....it doesn't mean that can't happen it's just not likely, you need to never give up.

This is a line you'll hear over, and over again from video agencies at local business networking events, however, the questions is, will video increase website SEO? Well, honestly, the answer is yes, but that's a very basic answer as well. There's a lot more to getting a video to increase your websites SEO than just having a website created by a visual agency and then sticking it on your website. So many video companies will do just that too and then step away, so what should you be doing to make sure that content actually works well for you?

When was the last time you where romanced? Maybe as it was a while ago it's the reason you're selling all the time on your social media rather than romancing the audience. Let's face it, you wouldn't walk up to someone on the street and ask them to marry you, firstly they'll probably say no, secondly, we all like to be romanced, we all like to learn to know another person, so why is social media buying any different in our mindsets? It certainly shouldn't be. Spend time giving value and romancing your audience, social media advertising is for the none romance approach, organic growth is about building an emotional connection between you and them.
