Today we’d like to introduce you to Emily Allard. They and their team shared their story with us below:
Emily Allard is a content marketing strategist and nationally published author based in Fort Lauderdale. She is the founder of the popular creator and entrepreneurship blog Socialbuzzhive.com.
Her passion is providing budding entrepreneurs, creators, and small businesses around the world with resources to leverage digital marketing strategies, technology, and trends to increase their visibility online as well as offering creative and flexible ways to work and make income from home.
Throughout the blog, Emily provides a wide array of free tools and guides for anyone who wants to grow a business online, improve their website traffic, and ways to increase their authority and presence across their social channels in a competitive landscape.
With her 15 years of marketing experience, she also provides personalized digital consultations and website auditing services to help anyone seeking to improve their existing digital footprint. Emily got started in 2004 with a career in website development, but she found it increasingly difficult to balance her work duties with her parenting responsibilities as a single mother of 3 while working in a traditional office.
She left the company to branch out from her house offering social media strategies and website and SEO consultation services to local businesses. This provided her with the means and the flexibility she and all parents need so much in these times.
Her success has not gone unnoticed. Emily has been featured in several leading publications such as LA Wire, US News, Benzinga, Entertainment Weekly, Influencer Daily, and others, and continues to partner with top companies and brands around the globe.
Besides being a successful entrepreneur, Emily Allard is also an Army mom and an avid advocate of animal welfare and wounded military veterans.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
As the saying goes, “Smooth seas never make skilled sailors.” When starting an online business and trying to rank your webpages high in the search engines and target your specific audience there are so many obstacles in front of you.
The competition nowadays on the internet is very steep and there are specific skills and strategies you must learn to stand out. Then of course when you first start, there are long hours and not knowing exactly what’s ahead. One of the struggles, in the beginning, was promoting my own business properly to get the word out there.
I was very focused on creating content for others and really enjoyed that aspect of it and still do. I’m very passionate about helping others gain the traffic they need and find the right ways to promote themselves online so they can reach their business goals and objectives.
Sometimes I would get carried away and forget that I need to do the same for myself.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am thrilled to provide a wide array of resources and ways for small businesses and creators to grow their traffic online, help monetize their content, and work from home if they wish.
I specialize in providing detailed and customized articles, guides, tools, and consultations that offer the insight small businesses need today to increase their presence online and target the right audience so they can grow their business and increase their revenue.
I’m most proud of the very positive feedback and 5-star reviews I’ve received on Google and the wonderful testimonials from previous clients and others who have read the blog. I am so grateful to the people I’ve been able to help and to my readership for contributing to my success.
I think what sets me apart is my relentlessness in the pursuit of excellence and having extremely high standards with everything I do. I want the best for my clients and those who reach out to me for help no matter how small an inquiry it is. I try to go above and beyond what others need because this gives me a deep feeling of satisfaction knowing I could be of service to them. And, I don’t think you should have to pay an arm or a leg for good advice.
I also believe in giving to foundations that help others who are struggling. As an Army mom, I’m an avid advocate of animal welfare like the Humane Society of Miami and wounded military veterans.
What do you like and dislike about the city?
Living in Fort Lauderdale there is always something happening and an endless number of sights, activities, and events to partake in or be an observer. I love that there’s something for everyone and it’s never boring.
I love living close to popular Las Olas Blvd. where you can sample the finest cuisine, eat casually, view the fine scenery, people watch, take your dog for a stroll, or just peruse the various shops. Fort Lauderdale Beach is a very popular hot spot that also has many different types of concerts and events.
Fort Lauderdale unfortunately has a big problem with panhandling and homeless people. This is something that I hope gets addressed by the city as soon as possible.
