You think your life is chaotic NOW?

Imagine heading into 2026 without even learning the basics of social media.
Like, proper basics. We're talking about actually understanding:

✔️ What to post (and when to post it)
❌ How to stop wasting hours staring at a blank screen
✔️ Why some posts flop and others fly
How to create content that actually converts

Because social media isn't going anywhere. And neither is your business's need to be visible online.

You can either keep winging it and feeling stressed about it...

OR you can spend a few hours learning the fundamentals that'll make your life infinitely easier for years to come.

Social Media Made Simple = Your sanity sorted before 2026 even starts.

✔️ One £99 payment.
✔️ Lifetime access.
✔️ Actually understanding what you're doing instead of just guessing and hoping.

Stop the chaos. Learn the basics. Thank yourself in January 👉 https://the-tartan-social-school.teachable.com/l/pdp/social-media-made-simple

If your social media strategy is "post a blurry photo and hope for the best," you're getting done in by your competitors. Here's what actually works:

1. Video or Vanish
Nobody's stopping to read your essay captions. 15-second Reels showing what you do? That's the ticket. Vertical, punchy, and properly filmed.

2. Let AI Do the Grunt Work
Why spend hours creating 10 different captions when AI can draft them in minutes? Use the tools, then add your personality so it doesn't sound like a robot wrote it.

3. Likes Don't Pay the Bills
"We got 500 likes!" Aye, brilliant. Did any of them actually BUY something? Track leads, bookings, sales, the stuff that keeps the lights on.

4. Jump on Trends (But Make It You)
See something trending that fits your vibe? Get on it. Fast. While it's still hot and your audience is paying attention.

5. Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket
Instagram's great until the algorithm decides you're not. Test TikTok, test LinkedIn, find where YOUR people actually show up and spend money.

The Reality: Big budgets don't guarantee big results. Smart testing does.

Is it just me, or has the vibe felt incredibly heavy lately?

It’s a weird mix of things. The pitch-black skies at 4pm, the fallout from the Budget, and just that general feeling of “what’s coming next?”

Honestly, being a marketing agency owner right now is heartbreaking. I’m speaking to so many incredible business owners, people I admire massively, who are really feeling the squeeze. Seeing them forced to make tough calls or pause their plans is tough to watch.

And I’ll be real, it has a knock-on effect on my business too. We aren’t immune to it.

But I was thinking today that I’ve been running this agency for seven years now.

Seven years is a long time. I’ve navigated through so many “unprecedented times” I’ve lost count. And the only reason I’m still standing?
Because we adapt.

When the world changes, we can’t just keep doing the same old thing and hope for the best. We have to pivot. We have to look at the mess and find the opportunity.

If you’re feeling a bit down or scared about the future of business in the UK right now, please know you aren’t the only one. But also remember that business owners are the most resilient people on the planet.

We’ll figure it out. We always do.
Time to roll up the sleeves and get creative. Sending a big hug to anyone who needs it this week!

Remember when £100 felt like nothing? 😅
Between the UK budget and bills, every penny counts right now.
So we created the Social Media Made Simple course for just £97.
Because we kept hearing:
😰 "Can't afford a social media manager"
😰 "No time to learn this"
😰 "Too overwhelmed to start"
Sound familiar?

For £97 you get:
✅ Create a month's content in ONE afternoon
✅ FREE AI tools that write captions FOR you
✅ What to post to get customers (not just likes)
✅ Canva secrets that make you look pro
✅ Show up consistently without the stress

The REAL cost?
❌ Staying invisible whilst competitors steal your customers.
❌ Wasting hours figuring it out alone.

💳 This course pays for itself after ONE new customer.
