Why I'm starting daily Instagram Live Q&A video trainings to support my web design & SEO clients during the COVID-19 global pandemic

Announcing daily Instagram Live videos to support my web design & development and SEO clients

Real talk: the past few weeks have been a total whirlwind.

I don’t know what to say, and I often wonder if I should just stay quiet and not add to the “noise”.

But since Covid-19 has fully reared it’s head, I’ve had a change of heart.

Up to this point, I’ve only ever used Instagram in a personal way... sharing little bits of my life with friends & family (+ a few others ).

I’ve kept business completely separate, serving people like you exclusively through my website & email marketing.

That’s been great up until now - but I know I can be doing more!

 Over the last 3 weeks, my inbox has BLOWN UP with panicked questions from people who need help with their websites NOW.

Many businesses are moving online (no easy task), and everyone is looking for help updating content, collecting orders, setting up email newsletters to communicate with clients & customers, ramping up SEO... it’s a lot!

Luckily I can actually DO something to support these people & businesses! 

So, I’ve decided to push way out of my comfort zone and share as much free content as I possibly can.

For a short time, I’m going to start doing it with Instagram Live videos - cause I know everyone’s there already and it’s an easy place to access this valuable information.

Charlotte’s Daily Instagram Live videos

Monday - Friday @ 9am PST over on my Instagram page (@lottieohara)

Ask me anything about website, SEO and online marketing - the format is Q&A style :)

Charlotte's Instagram

Here’s what I have planned for these daily Instagram Lives:

Every weekday, I will do a Instagram Live video & I’ll upload the replays onto my website.

These are free Q&A consulting sessions for anyone who has a question about their website, SEO and online marketing.

Each Instagram Live will have 3 parts:

  1. First, I’ll answer questions I’ve received via email & DMs.

  2. Next, I’ll share an actionable tip/something you can do right now.

  3. Finally, we’ll end with an open Q&A period. Repeat daily 'til we are back to normal!

If you’re interested in any of this, please get involved! Join the Instagram Lives, tell your friends or pass this post along to anyone who could use this info - the more the merrier.

Let me know what website, SEO and online marketing questions you have and how I can help you! Send me your questions via email, DM, or comment below - I’d love to hear from you.

Here's what my typical day looks like as a Squarespace SEO expert during the global pandemic
Here's what my typical day looks like as a Squarespace SEO expert during the global pandemic

Let’s start off this post by stating the obvious: we’re in the middle of a global pandemic, thanks to COVID-19!

Life as we know it is no longer the same and it’s impacting every aspect of our daily lives: work & business, personal finances, health & fitness, social interactions, staying at home vs going out in public, emotions and mental health, screen time… you name it, it’s different from a few months ago!

I’m writing this post in the middle of May 2020 at by now, we’ve all settled into some sort of “new normal” routine. It’s kind of whack to think about but humans are adaptable and we are all just doing our best and making the most out of this insane situation.

Earlier this week, I published a blog post where I talked about how I’m making the most of Lockdown 2020. Looking at the numbers, I can tell that people like this type of blog post because it’s a post that has received a crazy amount of traffic & visits lately! I decided to give you more of what you want and write a “day in my life” blog post so that you can see a more detailed breakdown of how I’m spending my time during this global pandemic.

Way back in May 2017, I published “Here’s what my typical day looks like as a web designer/developer” and it’s really fun and interesting to reflect on what has changed since then and how in other ways the foundation of my daily schedule looks so similar, even though years have passed and the situation is completely different.

I hope that you enjoy seeing this “behind the scenes” look at what a fairly typical day looks like for me right now, how I’m still running my business during the pandemic, what projects and products/services I’m working on, and how I’m spending my time. Personally, I really enjoy seeing how my peers (and other creatives) run their businesses and schedule their time and I love playing the comparison game to my own schedule. I usually find myself picking up pointers or suggestions along the way so hopefully there are things here that resonate with you!

Making the most of lockdown 2020
Making the most of lockdown 2020

Lockdown 2020, what a wild ride! Can you believe we’re already in the second week of May? Like, whaaaaaaat? We used to say “time flies when you’re having fun” and I guess that’s still true, although now I’m thinking we need to change it to “time flies when you’re in the middle of a global pandemic” LOL!

Jokes aside, I wanted to write a blog post that sums up my experience with the Covid-19 lockdown and how it has impacted my life and business thus far.

Personally, I think it will be really neat to look back at this post in a few months/years to see where my head was at, what I was up to, how I was keeping busy and staying sane.

I also know that we’re all voyeurs to some extent, and everyone loves to creep each other on the internet. It’s fascinating to see how our own experiences are the same or different from someone else’s, so I hope that you enjoy this little glimpse and snapshot of my life right now.

As a general rule, I keep the content on this blog primarily work related and don’t share a whole lot of “personal” posts. That being said, this is going to be one of those posts that covers both business and “real life” so hopefully it’s still interesting to you!

Alright, without further ado, here are my musings on Lockdown 2020 thus far - the good, the bad, the ugly and the wonderful.
