🍍 Aloha Friday Scoops From Your Techie Bestie | March 8 2024


Happy Aloha Friday Reader!!

I donʻt understand how March has had itʻs first week already. I swore it was just December 2019. 😑 Did we all survive that momentarily Facebook/Instagram outage on Tuesday?

I get google alerts sent to my inbox that are related to social media, website, email marketing, etc.

A recent alert had so many news articles links to this topic.

Loom

I've used this product since 2017. It helped me send how toʻs, email follow-up, and feedback. I like that I can grab a shareable link to send back and my client or team can watch them on their mobile if they need. It has a chrome extension so I easily screen record something on the net.

Psst again, they have a free option (high five) head over to www.Loom.com

I get the honor of having connections in this entrepreneurial life I decided to partake in and wanted to share this week's Community Bestie.

Brenna McGowan and I met when we were starting as social media managers in a Facebook group. She asked a question, I decided to answer it and the rest is history.

Brenna is the reason why I started offering website design as we built 3 websites together. That was a scary time for me because websites can be a big deal and I am so glad we held hands during that time.

She is a GENIUS Pre-Launch strategist and a mega-fabulous copywriter.

Instagram is her jam

Think of this email as having your work bestie sharing what they found on social media, in their emails, what tool they used to make the job easier, and community besties that may be of value for their (your) network. Techie Bestie Activate. (*sips coffee*)

Aloha Friday 💛 This week I spent time with my mother-in-law and her besties—women who found each other years ago, started meeting for coffee, and somehow turned it into a 10+ year tradition. Same table. Same people. Different seasons of life. It reminded me how important community is—especially when you’re building something of your own. Entrepreneurship can feel lonely, even when things are going well. So here’s my one Aloha Friday question for you: 👉 Who is your community right now—the...
