It’s the Queen’s 70th or Platinum Jubilee celebrations this week and, as expected, I have a flurry of emails from people wanting ‘Jubilee blogs’ and pages on their websites.

There’s nothing wrong with working in McDonald’s
I hear it all the time: 🍔 “He’ll end up working in McDonald’s” 🍔 “The only thing she’s good for is flipping burgers” 🍔 “McDonald’s is too good for them” But why? What is it about McDonald’s that makes it such an insult? See, one of my first ever proper jobs was in McDonald’s. And […]

Business Blogging – You’re not blogging for YOU, you’re blogging for THEM!
It’s a common mistake, and a common statement: “Nikki, I find it really hard to blog – I’m running out of things to say about my business!” When you start a business blog you’re usually all gung-ho – you’ll blog every couple of days, there’s loads to say about your accountancy services / nappy website […]

Should I retweet / Facebook / promote my competitors?
I’ve been asked this question a couple of times recently and my answer is a resounding YES! Sounds a bit odd, doesn’t it?
