I’m introducing a new service for 2021: Power Hours.
You may be asking what a Power Hour is, as I hadn’t heard of them myself until recently.
I was inspired by business and marketing guru Janet Murray as I’m part of her Build Your Online Audience programme. She devised Power Hours as a way of providing services through lockdown and other business interruptions.
I’m lucky that I wasn’t overly affected by the pandemic last year as I work remotely from my clients anyway, but think that the idea of an hour of focused time with someone is a great service to offer.
You sometimes don’t want to trouble someone for anything more than a quick two minute conversation, and would be happy to pay for their time. There are times when you’d really like to pick someone’s brain, to dig deeper into a subject that they know about inside out. This is where the Power Hour comes in.
What happens in a Power Hour?
The short answer is, anything you like! Here are just some examples of subjects I could help with, but if you can think of any others then let me know.
- Write a blog post outline
- SEO optimisation ideas
- Plan three months social media content
- Learn about business process automation
- Keyword research
- Hashtag research
- Review your website UX
- Build a form for your website to collect information
- Design a graphic for Pinterest
Pick a time to suit you
With my Power Hours, you get to choose a time and date and book some time into our calendars to spend together via Zoom. We will use that time productively in whatever way you choose, and then afterwards I will write up any actions, do any follow-up tasks we agreed and send you a recording of the call. This means that you don’t need to furiously write notes as we’re talking.
As well as a generic Power Hour, I also offer two specialist ones.
The first is an introduction to Business Process Automation using Zapier. Zapier is a tool which is transforming my business, saving me time and making me more productive in the process. In the Power Hour I can share my tips and demonstrate how I use Zapier to streamline my tasks. Afterwards I will send you my cheat sheet of templates and other resources, to give you a head start and save you time.
My session with Ali was really useful and opened up the possibilities of Zapier in my business. Ali really knows her stuff and this was a great introduction to streamlining and automating my workflows. Thank you!

The second specialist Power Hour is for social media content planning. Most businesses know they should be showing up on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram but frequently run out of ideas. In an hour we can plan posts for a whole three months, including blogs, education, inspirational and sales content. After the call I will document all the ideas and send them to you, along with any follow-up tasks we discuss such as hashtag research, design resources or keyword research.
I would love to help you with your business, so book a Power Hour with me and we can get it done!
