Should you reconsider sending that email?

Should you reconsider sending that email?
Read time: 1 minute and 31 seconds
Did you see this article circulating in The Financial Times last month?

It's interesting, isn't it?

That the emails and replies we send are polluting the environment.

All of those "thank-you's" and "will-do's" clogging up data centres. 

On the other hand, it sounds a bit like clap-trap, and I'm sure there are much more impactful ways to tackle climate change than emails of all things.

Let's face it, there are much bigger fish to fry (or not, as it were!)

But, saying that, it did make me think about when to reconsider sending an email.

So, before you hit send, ask yourself these questions:

It's a New Year...Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021!

Happy New Year!

Here we are, at the start of 2021, the last awful year is behind us and we're looking ahead to newer greener pastures.

Or we were, until, for those of us in the UK, we found ourselves flung into another national lockdown. 

Now, as we review the last 12 months and how well we achieved our goals and as we plan what we aim to achieve over the next year, everything feels a bit tainted by the pandemic. 

And that's okay. It's been a struggle. Whether you've found yourself working from home, struggling to educate the kids or just struggling to keep your business afloat and still going; we're all weathering the same storm. 

But let's take a moment to review the positives, the great things that happened in 2020 (yes, there were some!) and the things we can hope for in 2021.

Christmas Operating Hours 2020/2021

Christmas Operating Hours 2020/2021
Over the 2020/2021 holidays, our operating hours will change as outlined below:

We will close at 5pm on Wednesday 23rd December and re-open as usual at 9am on Monday 4th January. 

During this time, scheduled social media posts will continue as usual, unless you've requested otherwise. 

We will continue to monitor emails over the holiday period however, it will take us longer than usual to respond. 

At this time, I'm afraid that we also cannot take on any new clients until the New Year. 

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all customers a very Happy Christmas and New Year! 

Thank you for supporting me, and Admin Angels UK, through such a turbulent year. 

​I look forward to working with you in 2021!

Why Being Busy is Good and Needing Help is Something to Celebrate!

​I've been listening to a podcast about the value of getting help when you’re feeling overworked, overwhelmed, or stuck.

The show, hosted by Orna Ross and Sacha Black of The Alliance of Independent Authors, focuses on author-publishers, but their advice applies to everyone running a business.

Orna said something that really resonated with me, something that I don't think enough people realise:

My Top 5 Tips to Help You Get the Most Out of #NaNoWriMo!

My Top 5 Tips to Help You Get the Most Out of #NaNoWriMo!
Read time: 1 minute and 34 seconds
​Are you taking part in National Novel Writing Month?
 
I LOVE this month!
 
I always make time to write during #NaNoWriMo, and this year is no exception.
 
I'm working on a fiction project in my free time, but #NaNoWriMo is the perfect opportunity to work on any type of writing.
 
Falling behind on your blog or email content? Set aside some time this month to focus on building a backlog of posts or ideas that you can whip up and share with your audience.
 
How about that book for your business you've always wanted to write? Use #NaNoWriMo as the perfect excuse to get started.
 
Maybe you want to try your hand at fiction or poetry? There’s never been a better time to start than right now.
 
But, if you’ve never written anything before, or you’re feeling out of practice, the dread of getting started can start to feel a lot like writer’s block. 
 
If you want to #write this month, but you're not sure where to start, here are a few tips to get you going:

Lockdown 2.0: Here's What We Learned Last Time!
Read time: 1 minute and 17 seconds
​Are you feeling overwhelmed and uncertain as we enter Lockdown 2.0 in the UK?

It's a little hard to figure out if you should keep calm and carry on or join the crowds and start buying ALL the pasta. AGAIN!

Let’s not even mention the banana bread fiasco!

I don’t have all the answers, I’m not sure anyone does, and it’s easy to feel like you’re going this alone.  

But I want you to know I’m here and I’m weathering this storm with you.

And let’s face it, we’ve done this once this year already, we CAN get through it again.
​
I’ve been chatting to small business owners and authors, and here are the top takeaways I hope will help you navigate lockdown the second time around:

Okay, okay, hear me out.

I know this one is going to raise some eyebrows and possibly spark a bit of anger (hey, don’t shoot the messenger!)

If you’ve worked with me before, you’ll know I’m a huge advocate for organic marketing.

But I haven’t ever really explained why.

So, here goes.

If you follow @Adm1nAngelsUK on Twitter, you might have noticed that I was busy helping out with #SelfPubCon last weekend.

The Self-Publishing Advice Conference is a twice-annual event run by the fantastic Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi). It’s a 24-hour conference for indie authors and writers, packed full of advice, support, workshops and talks from 24 top industry speakers.

Sadly, the free SelfPubCon period has now ended, but you can get yourself a pass by visiting the website, which also gives you access to all previous conferences.
​
This time around, the conference was all about the Top 100 Tools for Indie Authors, and I was asked to provide three of my favourite tools.

Out with Micromanaging and In with Accountability

Out with Micromanaging and In with Accountability
Read time: 1 minute and 2 seconds
​It is a truth universally acknowledged that everyone hates micromanaging!

If someone was micromanaging you, you might feel like they're looking over your shoulder, like they don't trust you to do your job. 

And let's face it, the hourly check-in emails and daily progress calls only serve to eat into your productivity. 

If you're the one micromanaging, you'll likely be frustrated that you're wasting time chasing someone else when you'd rather be doing something more productive. 

In this way, micromanaging is un-helpful, un-productive and stifles creativity and morale. 
​
So, what can you do instead?

Is it okay to sell during a pandemic?
Read time: 1 minute and 6 seconds
When the Coronavirus became a Pandemic and the UK went into lockdown, I stopped marketing my services, as did a lot of people. 

While I was conscious about still needing to earn money, I didn't want to come across as heartless, unfeeling, money-grabbing or desperate.

So, I hung back for a little while, unsure of how to move forward. 

But the truth is that, pandemic or not, we all need money to survive.
