¡𝑯𝒐𝒍𝒂! 𝑯𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐! 👋

Hi everyone! I thought it was about time I re-introduced myself to any new followers/anyone who didn't know ALB Marketing Angel. 😇

Me llamo Alicia. I have a passion for Marketing and Photography. I currently work full-time in Marketing but my dream is to freelance in both the UK and in Spain! 🇬🇧🇪🇦

I am able to take on a few clients now, to supplement my work and help work towards my goals! 💪🏼 My experience lies with both small businesses and corporate businesses (which is what I currently do as a day job).

As hobbies I ride horses 🐎 and have begun learning Español. I read 📚 a lot and enjoy visiting local pubs and restaurants, usually with mi Perro, Jez, by my side. 🐶

I would love for you to introduce yourself too in the comments! Or ask me any questions and I would be happy to answer!

¡Hasta luego! 😁

✨𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒊𝒏𝒈 - 𝑪𝒐𝒐𝒍 𝑨𝒔 𝑨 𝑪𝒖𝒄𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑷𝒉𝒐𝒕𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒉𝒚!✨

As you may have noticed, there has been a bit of a re-brand around here! I would love to share my vision and meaning behind my new name in a later post!

But for now, I have stepped away from ALB Marketing Angel and changed my vision for this little 'business'.

I am being completely transparent here - I am starting from scratch.

I have an end goal in mind (which is definitely a few years off!) and I have a few areas in mind that I would love to work on, and for them to become my 'niche'.

Right now I would love to offer my services to any small businesses in England and in Spain (Focussing on British people who have moved to Spain and started a business).

Any industry is welcome, any business size is welcome!

Lets work together to get some fab personalised Marketing and Photography!

For any info or if you have any questions, please drop me a line!

Thank you for reading! Here's to the future!

Thinking of starting up a freelance marketing business? Started but feel a little stuck? Here are some top tips on how to get the ball rolling!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Create your logo. This is what people will instantly recognise. It will also give a sense of professionalism.⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Set your niche, this is where you want to end up when you're a fully fledged freelancer. To begin with, you may have to get your experience in other sectors, but begin to market yourself to your desired audience.⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Contact local businesses, this is a great way to get experience too! Just pop them a message explaining what you do and how you could help/what you could offer. Working local builds a great sense of community too!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Be active! If you aren't active on your socials, people won't know that you're still operating, or if your chosen freelance work is in the social media sector, they will begin to wonder if you could keep active on their socials, if you can't on yours!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Lastly, interact. Comment, share, reply to DMs, all this builds your reputation. You will be seen as friendly and approachable. This will make people comfortable talking to you.⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope these tips helped a bit! And good luck with your new adventure!⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Keeping up with current trends will draw attention to your content.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Getting involved with your community and joining in with a trending challenge or using a popular 'sound' will boost your reach - all down to the likes, shares and comments you will get!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Using the trend's sounds and hashtags will expose your business' content to anyone who may be following the trend as well.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Trends come and go - don't be outdated and make sure you research what people like to see! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

💻 LinkedIn 💻⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💻 LinkedIn is a really useful tool to use professionally. ⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💻 Here you can interact with real businesses - viewing their content, applying for their jobs and seeing what they are getting up to.⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💻 You can also join lots of groups that have members that share an interest in your industry, you can celebrate others achievements and share your own too!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💻 You can also create your own professional profile, sharing your interests, expertise and past experience. Employers can find this and you may even get a message or two from them regarding work! BONUS!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💻 Overall - LinkedIn boosts your professional presence and boosts awareness, whether it is for yourself or your business. Keep your community and target audience in the loop!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💻 What do you think about LinkedIn? Do you use it?⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What Tech Do I Use?⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💻 My Laptop - ASUS ZenBook Duo. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love the option of using 2 screens. I usually use the smaller bottom screen to reference from, using the normal screen for most of my work. The bottom screen is also fab for watching some Netflix while you work! It is also fully touchscreen and has a stylus, I use this mostly for my photoshop work, it makes editing a lot easier. It is light and compact, so it is no issue to move about with. ⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On my laptop I create and schedule my posts. It is super quick and the screen makes it so fun to be creative. The battery will last me around 6hrs to a day - depending on how much I have to do!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💎 My Tablet - 10" Samsung Galaxy S6 tab - with the S pen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is super useful to take to meetings, on photoshoots or to take notes on. I can also use Photoshop and Lightroom on it to edit on the go or create mock-ups. The S pen is fab for sketching and drawing. I can connect my camera via WiFi to my tablet, to show clients quick edits so that they know what to expect from their shoot. The battery lasts me around 2-3 days.⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📱 My Phone - Samsung S20+ 5g. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love my phone! The screen is big enough to create posts and stories on Canva, on the go. Here is where I will reply to most of your comments, messages and DMs. I can also keep up to date with my website (which if you haven't checked out, please feel free to have a gander). The camera is fab - great for dog and horse pics... Or to take inspiration photos for your posts/work. Battery is fab too.⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope this little insight may help if you're looking for tech. By all means you do NOT need the same as me, I would suggest a smart phone and a laptop/desktop is all you need. ⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The PAIN! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

- AUDIENCE -⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸 Research! - The first step into understanding who you need to reach out to, is to research! Look into who is active in your niche - what are they interacting with? Remember... Do not copy other content! Take inspiration, but make sure your content is unique to you and fitting with your brand.⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸 Use your insights! - Through your insights you can actually see who your audience is, where they are from, their gender and when they are most active! - This is a form research, and relates directly to your own success.⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✨SMART objectives✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
By using SMART you can easily set and achieve goals, keeping on track with your growth and targets.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, what does Smart actually mean? Well when you're setting your targets, think SMART...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨S - Specific... Make a clear goal. For example, i want a 10% increase in traffic to my website. Don't just say you want more visitors. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨M - Measurable... Make your goal trackable, you need to be able to see if your achieving what you set out to do.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨A - Achievable... Your goal needs to be Achievable. Work towards something challenging, yet possible.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✨T - Time... Set a deadline, a time to be finished by. This could be days, weeks, months etc.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

- NICHE -⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
NICHE - a specialized segment of the market for a particular kind of product or service.⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸 When choosing your niche, you need to make sure you are passionate about it! I know that I am passionate about Equine and Independent Businesses! - This is why I love working with brands and people within these sectors! You need to be enjoying who you're working with, this means you will give it your all and make your clients happy!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸Continue to learn about your niche! - You should always be learning! You can always improve your knowledge and keep up with new trends within your sector. Moving with your niche is so important, you would want to stay relevant to your target audience.⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸Be involved with your target audience/niche! - This links back to engagement, which I keep going on about! If you aren't improving your awareness within your niche, how will they know you exist and are wanting to work with them!? Comment on their content, like and share their work. Simply show you're interested and care about what they are doing, their message and their brand!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want some advice on finding your niche, please feel free to pop me an e-mail or a DM and we can certainly have a chat!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

- CONTENT -⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Creating relevant content will be one of the steps towards a successful business/social media account!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸 Followers! - If you are creating content that is relevant and enjoyable for your target market, simply... you will gain followers! People will want to see your posts in their feed and your e-mails in their inbox!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸 Awareness! - When you like content, what's one thing you do?... Share! When people are really connecting with your posts, they will likely share! - this will gain awareness for your brand, drawing more like-minded people to your pages!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you feel a little stuck creating content, I'd be happy to help! Please fell free to pop me a message!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

- WHAT SOCIALS ARE YOU USING? -⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, this is the ranking of the main social platforms!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸 Does your engagement rate match this? Is Facebook the best place for your business or do you find Tik Tok more successful?⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸 I am actually surprised that Tik Tok isn't nearer the top!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am intrigued to see which socials work for you and your target audience!⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

21/08/2021

- ENGAGEMENT -⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Engagement can be used to boost your online presence in a few ways. Being active online will help you show your audience who you are as a person/brand and what you are about.⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸 Reply to your comments! - This shows your followers that you care! It tells them that you value their opinions and want them to communicate with you. It also gives you an approachable feel, if your audience don't feel as if they can talk to you, then how will they feel comfortable e-mailing/messaging you to purchase your products/services?⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌸 Show your appreciation for others! - By commenting on your target audiences content, you will put your name out there, and they will also be more likely to come and have a look through your socials! - Don't tell me you haven't had a little nosey through profiles before! And this again, as before, shows you are friendly and want to be a part of the community!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you feel like you'd like a hand with your engagement, please don't hesitate to get in touch!⁠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
