Back in 2008, when the world was settling into a recession, I had a sudden ‘rush of blood’ and decided I was going to take my then business online! Although my background is advertising and marketing I had no idea how the online world worked as all my experience was pre-digital.
After researching all my options I felt the best plan of action was to learn how to use WordPress so I could build a website for blogging purposes. That led me to social media which I needed to help promote my blog posts. That in turn led me to lots and lots of shinny new objects, not necessarily useful ones either if I’m honest! And eventually I was led to where I am today and what I’ve been doing for the past 10 years this year 😱 – social media consulting, training, marketing, management and public speaking.
I can honestly say that back then I found it difficult and very time consuming, especially the techie stuff. Nothing came particularly naturally to me and the techie stuff was always going wrong – mainly pilot error I think! Yet, despite all the trials and tribulations I encountered, I was strangely fascinated, dedicated and enthusiastic about it all! And I constantly had this inner thought that “If I’m struggling with this, and I have an advertising and marketing background, then how on earth is the average business owner going to cope?” and that’s when I began dreaming about how I could help other business owners demystify it all.
In fact I always had the same deep rooted dream it would seem. That dream was to build some kind of central point where businesses could get high quality training at an affordable price, something that had most definitely eluded me when I first began marketing online.
To cut a very long story short let’s just fast forward to today
I’m super, super chuffed to be able to tell you that I’ve been piloting my very own training hub for the past 12 months called the Get MOORE Social Training Hub. My founding members tell me they “love it” and they’ve said many other wonderful things about it too. You can read a couple of the comments below.
So what is the Get MOORE Social Training Hub?
In principle the Get MOORE Social Training Hub (GMST Hub or the Hub as we call it) provides good quality, affordable bite-sized live weekly training, help and advice on social media, marketing or business topics. It all gets recorded and added into the Hub library so members can watch everything at their convenience if they can’t make the live sessions. There are many other benefits to being a member of the Hub which I mention later or you can read here.
What content is in the Get MOORE Social Training Hub right now?
So, for the past 11 months we’ve been busy creating content around founder member’s requirements. But we’ve also had a fabulous selection of guest speakers covering subjects like: sales training; creating video; cyber security; creating better voicemail messages; the energetics of content creation; the importance of YouTube; the readers journey; how to take better photographs with your mobile; the key to influence and persuasion; personality profiling; how to build a better business in 90 minutes and then we concluded with a 2022 reflection and goal setting session plus there’s a whole host of other guest speakers already lined up for this year.
As I mentioned earlier the initial training sessions have been based upon the subjects that the founding members requested and have included the likes of:

PLUS we also ran an ad-hoc 6 week Content Creation and Automation Workshop which was all recorded and added to the Hub library too. Because the workshop worked so well we decided to include more ad-hoc workshops the next one starts shortly and will be on Facebook and will replace the Facebook training that is already inside the Hub so we are keeping things up-to-date as we go.
So what do Hub members get for their money?
✅ Access to all the live weekly bite-sized training sessions – All recorded and added to the Hub library
✅ Access to the private support group – Here you can ask your questions and get support
✅ Access to the content creation café – Drop in Zoom sessions each week where you can work on your own social media to help build your presence and business
✅ Access to ad-hoc workshops throughout the year – Perfect when we want to take a deeper dive into a particular platform
✅ Access to guest speakers – For subjects that are outside my area of expertise
✅ Have your say – Members request the topics they want to learn
✅ Networking and collaboration opportunities – Meet new potential customers, clients and collaborations inside the Hub
✅ 10% donated to charity – Whatever level of membership fee you pay 10% of that will be donated to charity
✅ Inclusion in the member’s directory – A directory of members that is searchable by members and the general public
✅ Discounts on 1-2-1 training – Should you need a little more personalised training
✅ Recommend a friend scheme – Receive a £20 thank you for every member who you recommend and who signs up
What’s the cost to join the Get MOORE Social Training Hub?
My plan was always to allow the first 100 membership into the Hub at the discounted rate of £125 for a full 12 months access. Once we hit the 100 member mark the price will go up. The good news is we’re not there yet so you’ve still got time to grab your discounted membership right now!
PLUS the even better news is that not only do you get the next 12 month membership for £125 but you also have access to all of the content that we’ve produced over the last 12 months, it’s all sat there waiting for you! What a win-win 😵😵😵- but hurry you don’t want to miss the introductory offer!
Finally, how do you join the Hub?
That’s simple – just click here for more information and the joining details or give me a call on 01423 529 708 for a chat about it.
I look forward to seeing you inside the Hub and helping you grow your business during 2023.
