I just find her to be pretty cold with her audience. She can barely muster up an emoji in reply to follower’s long and heartfelt comments and she doesn’t even check her DMs. I don’t she gets that engagement is a two way street, and the negative engagement is just as important as all of the positive engagement.We've all worked with Disney! Does she think that's special ?! She's tried so hard to intimidate people into not leaving any kind of critical comment. She's a weird kind of bully. She probably thinks that we're all bullies but were just people that wanted to have a conversation and she told us we weren't worthy.
Yeah something about DLP does ring a bell, I thought that afterwards..... not sure if that one might have been gifted or something. WDW definitely wasn't, although that's not to say they didnt give her some extra "magic" like FP's as you said, or food etc,,,,??? She said she never discloses where they stay until afterward they are homeWell, her Disneyland Paris trip with Nanny San and the perfect child was Castle Club at the Disneyland Hotel which for a weekend, without a view of the castle will set you back about £6,000. Even if Disney didn't pay for her trip to WDW (though I'm certain she said they got in touch and gave her some extra freebies - probably additional fastpasses etc), they've helped her brand so she can say she's "worked with Disney" which will have brought in more #ads. Course, she's still just on her part-time teachers wage
I agree completely. I replied to a post when her nan died about my own nan passing recently, and saying I was so sorry...nothing. I don’t think she engages well with her audience at all, bar the occasional Emoji here and there.I just find her to be pretty cold with her audience.

People like Katie Ellison might come across as sickly sweet, but I really think that is how you have to be. They are salespeople after all and the people engaging on their posts and watching their videos are their customers. She doesn’t seem to understand that she needs to validate and connect with those people. Again, she seems to think she is above it.
But Emma takes it one step further by replying to people passively aggressively and sometimes just outright aggressively. She thinks she is coming across as a really chill person when she pops me an obligatory “x” at the end of a snarky comment, but it actually makes her look childish and unprofessional. She appears to have a chip on her shoulder but ai honestly wonder if that is just her personality.
Responding to complaints, criticism and comments that are anything less than kissing her ass, in a respectful and professional way, could actually improve her image. I’ve seen lots of people have to deal with uncomfortable conversations in their comment section this week. I have a much higher opinion of those that kept the comments up and participated in the conversation that they started when they chose to post using the black lives matter and black out Tuesday hashtags.
I think she needs to reconsider her business plan if/when she returns. There is a reason why she has 21 threads on here while many other influencers with a lot more followers i.e bestie turned arch nemesis Louise, have only racked up a few threads. Surely she must ask herself why? Perhaps rather than casting us all off us trolls, she should take some time to read over the advice on her many threads with an open mind.
Yes! This!! I've never quite fully put my finger on it but you're right - it's the desperation to try and be liked and loved by everyone with not a critical word towards her. And that's not normal in any job! If this is her job,,,, which she constantly claims it is (I mean who could forget the crappy pay day Boots shopping haul where she treats herself to some tampons and some hairsprayWe've all worked with Disney!

When you have no discernible talent, I think that you have to be quite narcissistic to want to be an influencer, and to think that strangers on the internet want to watch your life. I can't imagine feeling like I'm so good at make up, or parenting, or gaming or whatever to want to share it with the world. Does that make sense?I used to be a fan. I loved her vlogs back in the day. I suffer from anxiety and OCD. Some days I couldn’t get out of bed. Watching her holiday vlogs and day trips encouraged me to do those things...
One day - I replied quite honestly about how she’s lucky to have Stephen to help her and have the luxury of working from home as I’m a single mum... there were a few comments after mine. Mine got deleted and I was muted for a few days? I didn’t know what I had done wrong? We are all women together raising each other up right?? That was the lightbulbmoment.
These ‘people’ are not your friends. The sales patter is to act relatable but that’s what it is money making and deal breaking. No more no less...
Narcissistic
I think this is one of the things that winds me up about her. She's thoroughly disingenuous "oh I'm just a normal mum with my happy corner of the internet!" yet she's clearly calculating in curating her brand (although not clever enough to do it well - is that the worst mix, sly AND stupid?).In a blog post from 2018 she wrote this about moderating comments!
Moderate
I moderate all my comments on YouTube. It is dead easy to do. I have put every awful word you can think of in and they can't get through to the live page. I can just delete them. I would block any ar*ehole on your social media that makes you feel anything less than great. Sure people can leave different opinions in a polite manner but if it's not polite and makes you feel sad? Block them and move on. You are in charge of your own social media. They don't have an entitlement to be mean. If there are comments that damage your 'brand' you have a right to get in touch with whoever shared it and ask them to moderate them. Do it in a professional way and they will happily remove or respond to a few.
Exactly this. I have never commented on any other "influencer" on here.I think she needs to reconsider her business plan if/when she returns.

Whenever I’m watching any of the YouTubers I follow, my husband thinks it’s the strangest thing ever. He doesn’t understand why anyone would be interested in watching someone cleaning or showing you their weekly food shop! When you think about it, it IS a strange way to make a living but then I do enjoy watching some of them (despite my better judgement!), so I suppose as long as YouTubers etc have an audience, they’ll continue to share their lives online.When you have no discernible talent, I think that you have to be quite narcissistic to want to be an influencer, and to think that strangers on the internet want to watch your life.

You joke about furlough, but if shes an employee of her company she could be on furlough, the timing is just before they cut off furlough being allowed for the first time! She could be getting 80% from the govt and topping it up - if shes gone for 3 weeks ill be suspiciousWhat’s happened to her ‘glamorous assistant’? Couldn’t she take the reins for a week & be Em’s ghostwriter - it might be a refreshing change, although I guess we’d ‘notise. the. lack of spelling. and punktuashun. misstakes.....’
Perhaps she’s been furloughed - down to £50 a month & only one packet of complimentary Blue Riband.
That'll only be 80% of her standard pay though, which as a limited company she'll be paying herself just below the threshold for paying tax. So her furlough payment would be about £575. Furlough doesn't take into account any director payments to herself.You joke about furlough, but if shes an employee of her company she could be on furlough, the timing is just before they cut off furlough being allowed for the first time!

Not sure if this furlough is for the assistant or for Babs. I’d assumed Babs and most of the other influencers are self-employed so they would have been eligible for a government grant of up to £7000 I think. Not 100% sure as I got my info from Martin Lewis and he talks so fast. But, I’d be fuming if Brummy Mummy got this because she’s kept on working throughout the pandemic. It hasn’t affected her income at all, what with all the crap #Ads.That'll only be 80% of her standard pay though, which as a limited company she'll be paying herself just below the threshold for paying tax.

But, what she can apply for is a bounceback loan. It would entitle her to get a loan for up to 25% of her business income from the last year as a loan which doesn't start paying back until 12 months time and even then has a ridiculously low APR. If we assume she makes £5k per advert, plus the book revenue, YT revenue etc and take a conservative guess at £10k a month income she'd be getting a £30k cash injection which would certainly help pay for holidays next year until the #ad revenues return.
She was probably dropped as soon as the pamphlet didn’t become a bestseller!If the press got wind of her racism do you reckon she could be dropped by her publishers??
She's operating as a limited company not self-employed, which is far more lucrative for her in terms of expenses etc.Not sure if this furlough is for the assistant or for Babs.
