I help businesses find their customers online and train teams and individuals on how to use Instagram, Facebook and Twitter as effective marketing & sales tools

When this client came to me 6 weeks ago, they had a problem with an audience of fake Instagram followers all based in Turkey (go figure!). 6 weeks of focusing on UK targeted content, engagement and growth have made a difference and added 1,200 new followers to their account

Superb production of Cymbeline at @RADA_London last night. Beautifully acted and accessible version of a lesser performed Shakespeare play.

@MossCottagebnb pretty soul destroying when you realise how many of your followers are inactive or perhaps even dead aha

[Grant Appleton @grantappleton]

How many of you unfollow 'inactive' accounts that haven't tweeted for 30 days or more to keep your follower to following ratio in proportion?

And another happy client over on Facebook

[Grant Appleton @grantappleton]

It's great having a client who farms eggs, especially for the 'take-aways' after a client review meeting.

After all these years, just who are these people still using TrueTwit validation and perpetrating this spam? It's bot software that spams your followers and must be ignored!

[Grant Appleton @grantappleton]

I know that I've been down on Twitter recently but these strong growth numbers for this client show that a bit of effort can still reap decent rewards

@FossewayHoney last time i checked

I've been spending all my time on my client's twitter accounts and been seriously neglecting my own. Anyone else have that problem? #gladirememberedthepassword

[Grant Appleton @grantappleton]

@MossCottagebnb still fighting the good fight 😉

[Grant Appleton @grantappleton]

@MossCottagebnb How are you Mr Bruce? Long time no see and hope all is well

[Grant Appleton @grantappleton]

More and more clients coming to me and telling me that they see no value in Twitter for their brand/business. I still see 'some' value but it's becoming increasingly difficult to get excited about it especially because of the regular algorithm changes and API access issues

[Grant Appleton @grantappleton]

What's your preferred social media platform for marketing your business? Ironic that I'm posting this on Twitter I know but hey, I quite like the poll tool and as I haven't been on here for 20 months or so, I'd quite like to see if anyone is still out there

[Grant Appleton @grantappleton]

In the last two years, my client mix has changed from 90% of my clients using me to help them reach their audience from their Twitter accounts to around 10% of them today. Now it's all about Instagram. Better reach, better analytics, better engagement and better ROI
