Coach Deb predicted social media trends ten years ago!

My clients, especially those “of a certain age” often express frustration about using social media (social networking), and ask “Why bother?” so when I met up with Coach Deb, a globally recognised authority on the subject, in Sydney recently, I was absolutely delighted when she generously answered that question in this exclusive video interview.

Video (3 min 12 sec) Coach Deb answers: why bother with social media?

Here’s some of what Coach Deb revealed:

• 80% of people who buy online belong to a certain group
• That same group of people use social media to share their recommendations with each other
• Business owners who use social media will capture the attention of that group while their competitors flounder

Coach Deb co-created the software we use to build our clients’ websites!

I know that Coach Deb knows what she’s talking about, because four years ago I started using the software that she developed, to build my own website. It gained high search engine ranking so rapidly that my business coaching clients started asking me to build websites for them, and so HubSite Builder was born!

The proprietary software boasts integrated organic search engine optimization, and several automated methods of integrating your website and your social media profiles, saving you over 40 hours per month when compared to other systems.
