Canva has SO many little tools and tricks… but do you actually know where to find them? 👀

I’ve just finished a Canva Masterclass with eight amazing business owners, and what a great way to finish a Friday! 🙌✨

We focused on navigating around Canva with confidence, discovering some of the features that can make creating content quicker and easier, and learning how to create a social media post- whether that’s starting with a Canva template or building something from scratch.

I’m so grateful to every single person who bought a ticket and joined me online today. Thank you for trusting me to help you build your Canva confidence! 🤍

There were lots of questions, plenty of opportunities to have a go, and everyone also has the recording to look back on afterwards so they can keep practising in their own time.

Next up is my online Plan, Post & Grow on Facebook Masterclass… 29th September at 10am

If you’d like more details or want to book your place, comment FACEBOOK below and I’ll send you the link.

It’s always a good start to the day when there’s a coffee in one hand and such an enthusiastic and passionate woman sitting to your left! ☕✨

I had such a lovely catch-up with Vincenza Forte Short Stays this morning and really enjoyed learning more about the amazing stays she offers and you can experience across the Staffordshire Moorlands, Leek, Stone, Newcastle and Stafford.

Whether you’re looking for a little breakaway, somewhere to stay while exploring Staffordshire, or even a venue for a networking event.

But I think what stood out most from our conversation was just how much we can support one another, share advice and learn from each other.

And if I can recommend one thing today, it’s to have a browse through Forte Stays website and see what you could discover right here in Staffordshire.

“Private messaging feels so cringe! 😬”

I’ve had a few people say this to me recently… and I get it!

But what if we stopped thinking of DMs as a place to sell and started thinking of them as a place to start conversations?

Find something on their profile you genuinely like. Ask a question. Show an interest in what they do. Or simply start a conversation that has nothing to do with your services.

Build the relationship first.

Then, if they ask, “So, what do you actually do?”… there’s your opportunity.

That’s when you can talk about your services, because the conversation has naturally led there.

Not every DM needs to become a sale. Some conversations might lead to a client next week, next month… or even next year.

So don’t wait until you need clients to start conversations. Start them now! What are your thoughts?

August has involved plenty of coffee, a little pampering… and one BIG decision I’ve finally made

First, a little self-care! 🧖‍♀️ We had a lovely Tropic session with Fran Ruscoe | Skin Confidence & Empowerment, learning more about how to hydrate and properly look after our skin. We got to try different Tropic products, play a few games and, of course, drink plenty of coffee. ☕️

I also had the pleasure of catching up over coffee (and some lovely loaded hash browns!) with Sarah Kane. She is someone who has done nothing but support me, refer me and champion Shaw Socials, and it really is a privilege to support her in return by promoting the incredible work she does. Please do give Performing Arts International a follow! 🤍✨

And finally… I decided to go for it.
Something I’ve wanted to introduce for quite a while is officially in planning. On 18th November, I’ll be hosting an in-person social media event, helping you understand what’s happening across social media and curating content with you! Save the date 📅

The details are coming very shortly, and there will be ONLY 10 spaces available. 👀🙌

Did you know you can create ONE visual in Canva and use it across Instagram, Facebook AND LinkedIn? 👀

When you click Create in Canva and choose an Instagram Post (4:5), you’ll be working with a 1080 x 1350px design… a format that works across all three platforms.

One design. Three platforms. A very handy Canva shortcut when you’re creating your own social media content!

🙌 Want more beginner-friendly tips like this AND a walkthrough of how to actually use Canva?

Join me ONLINE for Create with Canva: A Beginner’s Guide on Friday 4th September, 2pm-3pm ✨

We’ll go through Canva together so you can feel more confident creating visuals for your business.

I’m your social media sidekick for small to medium-sized businesses who feel overwhelmed by what to do or how to do it on social media.

Through tailored training and support or done-for-you content creation and management, I ease the pressure, save you time and help you build a consistent and authentic social media presence.

But there’s more than one way I can support you, your business or your team.

You can work with me through 1:1 social media support, online masterclasses, Staffordshire Interactive Business Workshops, done-for-you social media content and management packages, or guest speaking.

Whether you want to learn how to do it yourself, need someone alongside you to make social media feel more manageable, or you’re ready to hand your content over completely, there’s an option to suit where you are right now.

And if you’re not quite sure what you need yet? Have a browse today!

Nine attendees, all ready to Plan, Post & Grow on Instagram! ✨

What an incredible turnout for today’s online Instagram Masterclass!

Nine business owners joined me to spend an hour learning more about Instagram, getting practical with their content and taking away ideas they can put into action straight away.

And the feedback I’ve received on the very same day… 🥹🤍

It really does show just how committed you all are to making a difference to your social media, and I’m incredibly grateful that you chose Shaw Socials | Social Media Marketing & Management to help you do that.

Thank you to every single person who attended, got involved, asked questions and took the time to leave such valuable and honest feedback. Your comments also help me continue developing these online masterclasses and finding ways to make them even better every single time.

Now please go and follow, connect with and support these brilliant business owners on their journeys! 👏

And to my nine attendees… now it’s time to Plan, Post & Grow! 🚀

The other day my family said to me:

“Wow Katie, look at you speaking! Where has that confidence come from?”

And honestly… it’s because I’m passionate about authentic, organic social media.

I’m proud of my journey! I’m proactive and ready to support business owners through planning, creating and executing content or doing it for them.

I used to be the quiet one.

Now, give me a room full of business owners and something I’m passionate about teaching… and apparently you can’t shut me up 😂

I don’t think I’ve suddenly become a completely different person.

I think I’ve just found my dream.

And when you care deeply about what you do, confidence has a funny way of following.

So, if you’re waiting to feel “confident enough” to put yourself out there in your business…

Maybe you don’t need more confidence.

Maybe you just need to remember why you started.

Thank you for this opportunity and for capturing and editing this video.
