I Want Woofs

It's a strong tea this one. So let's get sipping. ☕

You can have a top social strategy, perfect branding, a great product - but if you don't believe in yourself, that stuff won't be efficient.

I write this after recently having a pretty severe case of imposter syndrome. I felt like I didn't have the capability to achieve my goals, that I wasn't good enough (especially after having a baby!) This impacted the performance of my small business because I didn't have confidence in myself to find solutions to the issues.

However, life has been happening at a fast pace this year, and I've come to the realisation that that won't change and I am the constant in my own universe. I'm not going anywhere. The problems I have faced in my biz weren't because of my character or the ideas I have, but in my confidence within myself to make the scary decisions that come with running a business - and yes, it's okay to ask for help if you need it. I have, and this in turn has helped me see a path forward.

If you're feeling in a creative rut and need support, that's okay - I've got you. Let's get your confidence up and running. Drop me a DM to see how I can help. ❤

Feedback is Queen! 👸 Here's what firstScan Window to the Womb had to say about our recent website project 👇❤

"We recently commissioned Becki to build a new website for our private healthcare company, and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

Throughout the development process, her communication was exemplary. She maintained regular, weekly contact with our project team, providing detailed updates and addressing any questions or concerns we had promptly. This level of communication ensured that we were always aligned and that the project progressed smoothly without any unexpected surprises.

Her technical expertise and attention to detail were evident in the final product. The website not only met but exceeded our expectations in terms of design, functionality, and user experience. She managed to create a professional, user-friendly, and visually appealing site that perfectly represents our brand and caters to our clients' needs.

Moreover, she adhered to all deadlines, delivering each phase of the project on time, which was critical for our planned launch date. Her ability to stay on schedule without compromising the quality of work was impressive and greatly appreciated.

Overall, we highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable, skilled, and communicative web developer. Her dedication to the project and her exceptional work ethic made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

We look forward to the possibility of working with her again on future projects."

This was a big one and I enjoyed it thoroughly! I love website building, so when I was offered this project - I couldn't wait. 🌐

The experience and care was beyond wonderful, so I was excited to work on their sister brand firstScan firstScan new website. The new website launch was is in line with the launch of their new private health care services, ranging from fertility, health scanning and blood testing.

Here's the thing...there's no secret formula. 🧪

Put yourself in your customers shoes - your content should do one of three things:

1. Make them smile
2. Make them think
3. Make them take action

Before you put content out, take a second to ponder on your post and what you want to achieve. If your clients aren't getting value from it, then it could need a strategy change!

JUGGLING LIFE 🐾

I know first hand what it’s like to wear a thousand hats. I had a baby recently and juggling 3 dogs, a small biz, a full time marketing job all whilst being there for my family whilst pregnant/a new mum - was bloody hard.

I never knew what it took to chase a dream but I now have serious empathy for all small business owners - because behind every single biz is a human with a passion.

I’ve always loved helping people, and that’s why I wanted to offer my freelance marketing services to small businesses that need to alleviate that pressure from today’s digital landscape. You deserve to be seen and I’d love to help!

Whether you need guidance on a social strategy, training on a platform or content - come say hello! 👋

📸🐾 Capturing Canine Charm: Tips for Taking Better Pictures of Dogs 🐶📸

Are you tired of blurry, uninspired snapshots of your clients? Here are some tips for taking better pictures of dogs:

🐾 Get Down to Their Level: For more engaging and intimate shots, crouch down to your dog's eye level. This perspective allows you to capture their personality and unique expressions from a closer, more relatable angle.

🐾 Use Natural Light: Natural light is your best friend when it comes to pet photography. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight, which can cause harsh shadows and squinting, and opt for soft, diffused light instead. Early morning or late afternoon are ideal times for outdoor shoots.

🐾 Focus on the Eyes: The eyes are the windows to the soul, and this holds true for dogs as well. Make sure the eyes are in sharp focus, as they can convey emotion and connection in your photos. Use the autofocus feature on your camera or smartphone to ensure clarity.

🐾 Capture Action Shots: Dogs are full of energy and personality, so don't be afraid to capture them in motion. Action shots of dogs running, jumping, or playing can add excitement and dynamism to your photos. Use burst mode or a fast shutter speed to freeze the action.

🐾 Keep It Candid: Some of the best dog photos are candid moments that capture the essence of your dog's personality. Allow your dog to be natural and spontaneous, and be ready to capture those fleeting moments of joy, curiosity, or mischief.

🐾 Use Treats and Toys: To grab your dog's attention and encourage natural expressions, use treats or toys as props during your photo shoot. Hold a treat near the camera to get your dog's attention or use a favorite toy to spark playfulness and engagement.

🐾 Patience Is Key: Taking great photos of dogs requires patience & persistence. Be prepared to take multiple shots, experiment with different angles & compositions, & wait for the perfect moment to capture that winning shot.

So, grab your camera or smartphone and start snapping away! Need more advice? Drop me a DM!
