How to use Hashtags! #dosanddonts

#HASHTAGS

What are they all about?! What is their purpose? Despite being added to the Oxford Dictionary back in 2010 as most people have come to know what they are, many people still don't understand how to use them.  

Hashtags once just a key on your phone, are now featured on most popular social network sites including Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google + and Pinterest.

Hashtags allow you to categorise your content on social media.  With hashtags your own posts are able to be discovered easily, and likewise you can find content of others easily.  It also allows you to engage with like-minded users based on common interests. Knowing how to use hashtags is fundamental to your success on social media. 

If you are unsure how to use then here are some hints and tips by Social Network to work by...

Twitter

Hashtags here are used to describe the topic of conversation, an area (city, country etc), a common ground. Check on what is trending as you can use to your advantage to gain maximum exposure, but make sure it is relevant! Here is Twitter's guide to using hashtags and best practice.

Instagram

Hashtags on Instagram are much more about the picture, the person and how the image was produced.  However there are also popular hashtags that can help gain new followers, again use where relevant.  

Pinterest, Facebook, Google +

Hashtags on these sites tend to be used less but are just as relevant and searchable if used correctly, here are the best practices for Facebook, Pinterest and Google +

There are also some specific rules you should always follow:

• Do try to be specific (For example #GucciShoes instead of just #Shoes

• Do make relevant to the social media site you are using.

• Do use relevant, unbranded hashtags (For Example #1T1F1J or # generationyoung is more descriptive than just #Jeunesse)

• Don't go too long - Keep it short and sweet!

• Don't hashtag for the sake of it - Not every post or sentence needs a hashtag.

• Don't have more hashtags than words - Well except on Instagram #exception #rule

Hashtags allow you to make an impression on a wide social media audience.  Make sure you share great content and make a great impression!

Happy #hashtags!

My Famous Five

Okay so you've started your network marketing business, it starts off well and business is good, but then all of a sudden...

NOTHING...

Your leads start to slow down, your posts are reaching all the same people, comments are few and far between, are you being ignored?

Many people start in Network Marketing because the are told "it's easy", you can "work a couple of hours a week and earn $$$$$", "work part time hours, for full time money".  Now how many other jobs do you know that you can be hired with no experience or qualifications and immediately earn thousands, working only a couple of hours a week?  EXACTLY!

So how do you take your business to the next level? This business is like any other, if you aren't prepared to listen, learn and put in a bit of hard work initially then you will never reach that six figure income.  However if you are prepared to work hard and take on some well structured coaching, then the SIX FIGURE INCOME, the TRAVEL and the LIFESTYLE can be yours!

There are some great coaches out there, however initially I suggest the following:

1. Speak to your sponsor to see what is available to your team, use the resources available to you for FREE as much as you can!

2. Speak to your team, look to up-line team members who are in a position you'd like to be in and ask them for advice.  Ask if they have/had a mentor or coach, then search that coach out on social media as they'll usually have some FREE advice initially which will help you decide if their style is right for you!

3.  Use social media to search out network marketing coaches and start following them, as I said above you'll get snippets/posts of advice for FREE and it will allow you to see who appeals to you most and who's popular/established within the business. 

I would recommend these guys as a great starting point:

Sonia Stringer   

I have personally worked with Sonia and find her approach fresh and especially effective for women! Not pushy or salesy, just clever and classy! 

Ray Higdon    

Ray offers so much, his approaches are simple yet highly effective.  His blog gives you great tips to work on daily and share with your team as it grows.

Max Steingart

Max's webinars on how to use social media to attract and meet new prospects are invaluable, especially if you are a little new to social media.  

Eric Worre

His approach might sometimes surprise you, but it works and he wants nothing more than to help you succeed in your business.

Kim Klaver

This gal is awesome! Says it like it is and speaks a lot of sense. Her regular posts really make you think and question everything you may have believed or been told about network marketing and the industry.

Remember the most important thing is to be open to learning, we should never stop learning!  There is plenty of advice out there for FREE, but if you really want to achieve great success then once you've found a coach you like I would highly recommend paying (doesn't have to be a lot to start with) to work with them and learn as much as you can.  Chosen wisely your coach will enable you to free yourself from any self imposed limits that have been holding you back, show you where you have possibly been going wrong and allow you to soar and become the person you've have always dreamed of being. 

So why not take that step today, take control of your destiny and become who you were destined to be! 

Let me know how you get on! Has a coach made a big difference in your business? Who is your favourite coach? Would love to hear your comments below.

The 4 other men in my life...

IT'S TRUE! Just don't tell the hubby 

The below 4 men have been a very important part of my life in the last few months, helping me to learn, teach and change my life and others for the better.  It might sound cliched but I really do mean it! But as I said just don't tell the old man, as I think he'd be a little jealous!

SCOTT LEWIS - Chief Visionary Officer, Jeunesse Global

Scott has literally grown up in the business.  Exposed to multi-level marketing when he attended his first industry event at ten, he then gained a great deal of experience working for a multi-level marketing support service company owned by Randy and Wendy. This gave Scott the ability to recognize existing and emerging market trends as well as operational strengths and weaknesses in the industry. Jeunesse is more than just business to Scott, it’s family;  his vision is not only to maintain this standard, but to 'elevate it so that it permeates every facet of the Jeunesse identity and culture'. 

Scott is very much a hands on guy, regularly travelling with his wife Isabel to support distributors and attend corporate events.  He regularly posts on social media and is ever present with regular webinars to keep us fully informed of exactly what is going on in the business.  I find Scott's presence infectious, his vision exciting; I challenge anyone to watch one of his webinars and not feel inspired at the end of it, he has a real passion and has the ability to make you know that you can make a difference, we all can!

VINCENT GIAMPAPA M.D F.A.C.S - Medical Advisor, Jeunesse Global

Vincent Giampapa, or Dr G as I like to call him is Board Certified Plastic Reconstructive Surgeon as well as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He is also the Director of the Plastic Surgery Center Internationalé and The Giampapa Institute for Anti-Aging Medical Therapy in Montclair, New Jersey. 

Dr. G is a pioneer in his field, just read his bio on the Jeunesse website and you'll see just how much of a visionary he is in the world of Anti-ageing; he is the Father of Anti-ageing!  

Dr Nathan Newman MD - Medical Advisor, Jeunesse Global

Emerging from a family of internationally prominent physicians, Dr. Nathan Newman, M.D. is carrying on an important legacy. He is a world-renowned cosmetic surgeon with a fully-accredited and respected cosmetic surgery practice in Beverly Hills, California.

Dr. Newman is constantly striving to develop new and superior methods of achieving natural, undetectable cosmetic results with the least risk and most benefit for each individual. He is an original thinker and innovator, and is ushering in the future of cosmetic surgery.

Both Dr's have worked tirelessly in the research and use of human Stem Cells, This can be seen at it's best with the Jeunesse Luminesce Range...

I owe these men so much as I haven't slept so well, or my hair and nails looked so healthy in a decade after using the AM/PM Essentials and Luminesce! The above were my results after just 30 days.  Guys I owe you my flawless complexion, I don't think women can put a figure on that!

Cliff Walker - Diamond Director, Jeunesse Global 

From Brighton originally, but now living in Uruguay, Cliff has extensive experience in the Sales industry, and subsequently the Network Marketing Industry.  His experience in training and his personal style has allowed him to work globally and he has been able to start his own sales training and consulting company, travelling the world first class rather than business class. 

The thing I love about Cliff and find so inspiring is he has no pre-judgement of people (infact that's one of the first thing he teaches you), if you are ambitious and want more out of life, then Cliff is very happy to help you get there. The moment you speak to him, he makes you feel like an old friend, but boy does he know his stuff!

As he says himself 'I've discovered the secrets to making money on the Internet and enjoy sharing it with my friends'

I have the absolute pleasure of being part of Cliff's downline and cannot wait for many years ahead working with this man!

So 4 men who have shaped and changed me in the last few months, they have not only inspired me, but given me a belief and confidence in myself.  If you'd like to know more about the amazing products featured here or the amazing business opportunity then just click or comment below and I'll give you a call.

I'm always looking for like-minded, hard working people to join me.  So why not take that step today and change your life for the better, let us inspire you!

2 Minute Miracle - Yes Please!

I'm not really sure what I expected the first night I tried Instantly Ageless, sat in front of my mirror, wafting away at my eyes...  But as I watched the change in front of my eyes (no pun intended) I knew I had found something special!

I immediately text my friend who had sent me the sample after I had seen THE video on his timeline earlier in the week.  I told him I couldn't believe the results and I wanted to know more.  He introduced me to Jeunesse and as I read a bit more about the product I knew I wanted to try more.

As you know from my earlier post the LUMINESCE Range has worked wonders for my skin, if you haven't read click here, but how is it working now, is it still making a difference?  Hell yeah! My skin hasn't felt this soft in years, and finally at 40 I can do the school run, or take the boys to tennis lessons without having to put a full face of make up on! I think I was probably 16 the last time I didn't wear foundation.  Don't get me wrong, I still love my makeup and do wear most days, but I go for a tinted moisturiser or light coverage foundation now (Oil Free where poss as works much better with the Instantly Ageless LOL), and rarely have to touch up in the day.

After the amazing results on my face I started using the Serum on my decolletage (chest to you and me) and I've just taken after pic now and can't believe the difference, so pleased especially with some summer weather now here.  I can wear my vest tops happily now, without having to feel I need to cover up!

I can also see a real difference in the lines on my neck which I've always been conscious of, can't get over the result in just 3 weeks, so pleased.  This was specifically using the Cellular Rejuvenation Serum, along with the Daily Moisturising Complex and the Advance Night Repair.

I've met so many amazing people over the past 3 months and Dr Giampapa a.k.a 'Dr G' is just one of the most fascinating and intelligent guys out there.  It's a privilege to get to speak to a man like this and I've told him if I ever meet him I will give him the biggest hug ever as he has been a huge part of changing my life x  

I'm not a seasoned network marketer, I'm not a longstanding MLM'er, I'm just me, a mum of 3 who at 40 and for the first time feels comfortable and confident in my own skin! 

So if you would like to look 10 years younger and feel the best you ever have about your skin, BUY NOW!

If you'd like to be your own boss and feel secure for the future then EMAIL ME NOW!

Or if I could help you work the hours you want, from home, so you never have to worry or feel guilty about not being there for your children, would you be interested, then EMAIL ME NOW!

Part of the Diamond Destiny UK Network

Because we are all human!

So this week has been difficult...

Well as I said we are all human, so we have good times but we also have bad times. After Father's Day I had a little blip as a decade on it's no easier and I was feeling a little sorry for myself and also for friends in the same position :-( 

Anyway I fell off the wagon I'm afraid. Chocolate was consumed, alcohol was drank and ZEN was practically forgotten about so we weren't exactly heading for a good end to the week. 

1" ADDED to my chest (shouldn't complain I guess) and nothing lost elsewhere. However, ever trying to see the positive in things, it does mean I didn't gain elsewhere! If you would like to know more about ZEN Bodi then click here to watch an amazing video about the science behind it!  I'll update you early next week how this week has gone...

We've just had some amazing company news which I really want to shout about as it's so exciting! 

Jeunesse has just had a record breaking month: 

• $120 million in Global Sales
• 116,818 NEW Distributors joined the business 
• 13 NEW Diamond Directors
• 2 NEW Double Diamond Directors

I personally am due to hit Jade executive any day now, building some great relationships with new friends along the way and loving every minute.

To top it all my skin feels amazing and is still clear and glowing! It feels so soft and smooth and for the first time in probably 25 years I feel confident to go without makeup during the day a lot of the time. I certainly didn't think at 40 I'd be saying that! I cannot recommend the LUMINESCE range enough. Why not try it for yourself, Jeunesse are so confident in their products that they come with a full 30 day money back guarantee.

We really are ONE TEAM, ONE FAMILY,  ONE JEUNESSE!

I'll leave you with one final quote which I love...

Great things in business are never done by one person.  They're done by a team of people.  

Steve Jobs

Peace and out, Fay x

Exploring the Secret of ZEN BODI

Are you ready for ZEN BODI...

A powerful system that targets the three stages of fat loss.

SHAPE - Balance Cravings

FIT - Drop Inches

PRO - Get Toned

It'a a carefully formulated holistic approach to weight management, targeted to balance your metabolism.  By curbing the cravings, burning fat and building muscle, ZEN BODI opens the path to health and restores the body's natural mechanisms - delivering what you want most... RESULTS!

My good friend and fellow Jeunesse distributor Jude, has done the full 28 day challenge, see for yourself.  Jude has lost 4 inches pretty much all over in just 28 days!!!! I think you'll agree she looks amazing, Read more here... 

I have been taking for a week and a half now and lost 1" off my waist and 1.5" off my hips.  I have more energy and the Shape is definitely working to curb the cravings.  I don't feel hungry or light headed at all which I have had before with other well known brands ;-) and am actually finding myself able to eat a meal and decide when I've had enough, rather than eating everything on the plate.

I am deliberately not weighing myself as the point of ZEN BODI as I said was fat loss and not weight loss.  Building muscle and losing fat may well lose you weight but it may make you gain weight as obviously muscle is heavier than fat, so let's stick to inches!!!

So I will continue my journey and keep you posted how I get on after my 28 days.  ZEN BODI is not yet available in the UK, so please watch for further updates on it's much anticipated launch.

HOWEVER... If you are interested in taking on the 28 challenge now then we have been able to ship over some 28 day sets direct from the U.S, just email me or message me on Facebook for more details.

Remember Be You Be Flawless,

Father's Day

A day when everyone should be happy, when family's should be together. This isn't always possible...

My father was cruelly taken from my sisters and I, 10 years ago, after he had been diagnosed with MND only the year earlier. 

I know that he is always with us and has watched the boys grow up, but sometimes, just sometimes like today, I want to give him a big hug and tell him I love him...

So this is for all the folks out there who can't be with their father for whatever reason. I feel it too 😢
