Hi everyone! 🤗⁠ ⁠ We haven't updated our fe Hi everyone! 🤗⁠ ⁠ We haven't updated our feed in a little while (sorry!); we've been really busy over the last couple of weeks, editing books, taking on new social media clients, and adding a few minor updates to our website. Despite that, though, we've been doing our best to follow our own advice, which is to hang on to the "social" side of "social media".⁠ ⁠ Even if you don't always have time to post new content on your social media accounts, you should always try to interact with those you follow, making time to appreciate their content. This is true for creators, individuals, and businesses; regardless of why you have a social media account, try to find time to interact with your audience and find out what they've been up to!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #literaryedits #literaryeditsinsta #socialmediasnippet #socialmedia #socialmediamarketing #socialmediatips #socialmediaadvice #networking #socialnetworking #authors #writing #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #bookmarketing #authorservices #indieauthors #smallbusinesses #smallbusinessowner #smallbiz #growyourbusiness #interaction #conversation #community #growth #workinghard #workingfromhome #workfromhomelifestyle #proofreading #editing #marketing

Never be afraid to ask for reviews! ✨ ⁠ .⁠ I Never be afraid to ask for reviews! ✨ ⁠ .⁠ It is no secret that reviews can have a huge effect on your readers and customers, especially when you are able to promote them effectively. They are vital to both authors and small businesses (like us!), yet, all too often, people are afraid to ask for them.⁠ .⁠ Remember, as long as you stay polite, there is no harm in asking your readers or customers for a review—especially if you already have an open line of communication with them. It's never nice to spam or nag, but there's nothing wrong with asking for a simple favour. 😊⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #literaryedits #reviews #ratings #testimonials #authors #writers #smallbusinessowners #smallbusinessesuk #supportingauthors #supportingsmallbusinesses #readers #reading #bookreviews #bookreview #writingadvice #goodreads #goodreadsreviews #amazonreviews #smallbusinessadvice #candles #soycandles #books #bookish #bookishflatlay #openlineofcommunication #marketing #socialmediamarketing #digitalmarketing #promotions #shopsmall
