Twitter Lists – How Do You Use Yours?

Twitter is one of the most popular social media sites on the web for individuals and business owners, I know it’s my favourite. Twitter is a really useful tool in promotion and marketing, however, to get the most out of Twitter you’ll probably need to organise your feed and the easiest way to do this is through Lists.

Michelle came in to help out when the previous accounts administrator left us on short notice. She picked things up very quickly, did what needed done and never stayed longer than she had to. I would definitely use VABS again or recommend them to other small businesses in our position.

Collaboration – the secret of small business success

When you are running your own business, whether as a sole trader, freelancer or a SME, it is easy to think of yourself and your business as only being about your specific skill set or core offering. For example, it is easy for marketers to think only about marketing, recruitment consultants to think only about getting clients and filling roles and developers to only think about code. The reality of the situation is that there is much more to your business, even when it is just you, than your core product offering.

As we have grown, so has our need to keep a real close eye on our numbers. We wanted an expert source for this and were very lucky to meet Michelle at a local event. Since Michelle has come into the business we have had the double benefit of losing the administrative bookkeeping burden and also that we are able to know our numbers every day.
