New TweakYourBiz Managing Editor: Congratulations Sian Phillips!



I will be officially finishing up as TweakYourBiz Managing Editor at the end of September. Before I do, I would like to thank everyone for their support over the last few years and welcome on-board, our new TweakYourBiz Managing Editor, Sian Phillips.

Sian Phillips

Sian is a wonderful example of someone who has grown with us, a superb contributor, who writes great content and always supports the team. She has played an active part in developing this community from the very start. I’m confident that she will go on to make a great TweakYourBiz Managing Editor.

TweakYourBiz Friends

TweakYourBiz was something I managed, in between my other projects. It has helped me to develop my personal brand and continues to provide me with some outstanding opportunities.

That said, the greatest value is has given me is the people I’ve met along the way. Many I now consider my friends, so I’m a little sad to be finishing as Editor.

lunch with the team

Thanks to Fred, Facundo and our initial group of bloggers – many are still with us today! Without your collective belief, content and support – we would never have got going!

Thanks to Cindy King, now Managing Editor with Social Media Examiner. Cindy’s support and advice was critical during the early days.

To Anita Campbell, our CEO – Anita is an exceptional small business leader and online expert, and her experience is now evident across the site.

And to everyone who has contributed. Be it! Writing an article, leaving a comment, or sharing our content. We celebrate the big successes but it’s the smaller steps along the way that get us there.

The final word

I’ll leave the final word to your new TweakYourBiz Managing Editor :)

“I am over the moon that Niall and Anita have the confidence in me to become the Managing Editor of TweakYourBiz.com.

Niall first asked me to write for Bloggertone when it started 3 years ago and I can honestly say that it has been a huge confidence boost for me and a brilliant learning curve for my writing.

It has opened doors for me I’d never have believed a couple of years ago. Being involved in the TYB community has been fantastic and I’ve learnt so much about networking, Social Media, blogs and much much more from the professionals that write here.

I am really looking forward to this new adventure and so glad that I will have all the TYB community backing me up as always. Niall and Anita (and Fred and Facundo previously) have done such an amazing job with TweakYourBiz.com. It really is an honour to be involved.  I know Niall’s are huge footsteps to follow in – I’ll do my best in my size 8 wellies” – Sian Phillips

Good luck, Sian! but you won’t need it :)

    Now be honest everyone – who thought it was Sian (me,me). Congratulations Sian Phillips you’ve proved you can fit into Niall’s shoes and if there’s wriggle room, well you can grow into it in your own time. Good luck to both of you!

    Niall – the very best of luck with all your existing and new projects. I don’t know how you do everything in 24 hours and still manage to make it look easy. I can’t believe it’s three years. Wow. Time flies!

    And Sian, we’ll be saying that in three years time too. I’m thrilled for you – you did a great job when Niall was on honeymoon and I’m sure the content will still keep coming. (Note to self – finish that article and post!).

    All the very best to you two.
    Take care,
    D.
