About

Hey there! Welcome to Online Social Butterfly, where the world of digital marketing is transformed into a fun, approachable, and results-driven adventure.

I’m Sarah, the driving force behind this little corner of the web. With a passion for all things social media, I’ve made it my mission to help small businesses and entrepreneurs like you spread their wings in the online world. Whether you’re a newbie to the digital space or a seasoned pro looking to up your game, I’m here to make your journey smoother, smarter, and a whole lot more enjoyable.

Why Online Social Butterfly?

Because I get it. The digital landscape can be overwhelming with its constant changes, algorithm updates, and endless platforms. That’s why I’ve created Online Social Butterfly—to be your guiding light, your cheerleader, and your go-to source for all things digital marketing. My approach is simple: no fluff, just straightforward, practical advice that works. I believe in cutting through the noise and getting to the good stuff—the strategies that will genuinely make a difference to your business.

What I Offer

From comprehensive social media training to bespoke strategy sessions, I offer a range of services designed to meet you exactly where you are in your digital marketing journey. Whether its mastering Facebook (Meta) ads, creating your first digital product or understanding how to easily grow your email list, I’m here to empower you with the skills and confidence you need to thrive online.

Plus, I’m a big believer in the power of community. When you work with me, you’re not just getting a service—you’re joining a network of like-minded business owners who are all about supporting each other and sharing the love. Because, let’s face it, business is better when we do it together! Be part of my community via my Blooming Biz Academy (make this a hyperlink) or my Digital Queens Mastermind

A Little More About Me

I’m more than your digital marketing coach! I wear a lot of hats – business mentor, trainer, speaker and podcast. Outside of my biz, I am also a wife and mum – I started my business when my sons were just 3 and 5 so I understand what it takes to grow a successful business alongside a growing family.. My journey into the world of social media started over a decade ago, and it’s been a wild ride ever since. What I love most is seeing my clients’ businesses flourish as they discover the power of digital marketing. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping someone turn their online presence from drab to fab!

When I’m not working on strategies or training sessions, you’ll find me spending time with my family, snuggled up with a cup of tea reading a good book and my cat Evie, or at the gym – running or doing pilates and if I am being really good, a little weights with my oldest son. I’m all about balance—because a thriving business should never come at the expense of a fulfilling life.

Let’s Connect

Whether you’re ready to dive into a new project or just want to say hello, I’d love to hear from you.
Let’s chat about how we can take your online presence to the next level. After all, the digital world is your oyster, and I’m here to help you make the most of it!

🎉 Win a VIP Day with me (valued at $2,200)! 🎉



This year, life has gotten a whole lot busier! My baby (who is actually 16 now 😅) left school and started working full-time. The biggest change? My hubby and I have to tag-team driving him to work each morning—hello, 2+ hours a day (roll on the day he gets his license!).



With all that time in the car, I’ve been listening to loads of podcasts on Spotify. I was joking the other night about how wild my Spotify Wrapped will look this year!



Last year, my heart seriously melted when some of you tagged me in your Stories, showing me that I’d made it into your Spotify Wrapped as one of your favourite podcasts! 🥰



So, I had an idea...



This year, I want to be in even more of your Spotify Wrapped lists as one of your top podcasts for 2024! But here’s the thing—I’m telling you now so you have time to binge The Social Circus before December rolls around. 😉 There are over 100 episodes for you to check out from the latest on AI to keeping motivated. I will have new episodes coming out right until mid-December when we take our annual season break for 4 weeks.



Check me out on Spotify - just search `social circus` or follow the link in my bio



And there’s more…

You could win a VIP Day with me (valued at $2,200)! 🎉



Here’s how to enter:

🎉 When Spotify Wrapped drops in early December, share it on your Instagram Stories.

🎉 Make sure to tag me in your Story, highlighting that The Social Circus made your top podcast list—this is me: @onlinesocialbutterfly!

🎉 You’ll be entered into the running for the VIP Day giveaway!



Entries close on Friday, 13th December (my last day in the office for the year). I can’t wait to see who wins! 🙌

EP128 - Women, ADHD, and Business Success

This week, I’m joined by Mel Stibbs, founder of ADHD Village, for a deeply inspiring conversation about navigating ADHD and autism in the world of business. Mel’s journey has been one of self-discovery and resilience—she opens up about her experiences with late diagnosis and the relief of finding a community that truly understands. We dive into self-diagnosis dangers, the mental health effects of ADHD, and the stigma neurodivergent women often face. Mel’s advice? Embrace your unique brain wiring and surround yourself with those who understand and support you. Join us as we break down ADHD myths and share tips to build a business that works with—not against—your neurodivergent strengths.
