Social media has been a fantastic marketing tool for my small business.

The first of many highlights for my small business was when I won @TheoPaphitis #SBS (Small Business Sunday) on 16th October 2011, which led to adding a page about the win and additional content on my website, such as blogs about events such as #SBSEvent2017, #SBSEvent2018, #SBSEvent2019, #SBSEvent2020, #SBSEvent2021, #SBSEvent2022, #SBSEvent2023 along with additional content which includes work carried out for fellow #SBS winners.

The result of this has resulted in some interesting website search results.

The second big thing that happened was winning @Jacqueline_Gold #MOM (Men on Monday) in March 2012 and just like when I won #SBS, I decided to promote the win by creating a winners page and create content about my win.

The search engine results have been interesting.

Inspired by these social media wins and the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Queen Elizabeth II in 2012 I decided to create #QueenOf, #KingOf and #MonarchOf competition day.

The competition hashtags have had some intersting results too.

As I was searching for some things in relation to physical networking I recently put in a search term and found this.
