What a great sellers group
What a great sellers group. Lots of help and support available for new members and those new to selling via the other fabulous members.
What can you get nowadays for £10
What can you get nowadays for £10 - maybe a couple of coffees and some cake (if you’re lucky) so renewing our membership of MHHSBD was a no brainer.
Being part of the network has supported us to improve our engagement with potential customers online but much more than that it has provided access to some fantastic support & encouragement of fellow business owners & admin. After all no man, (or in this case business) is an island.
Completely Worth It.
I really enjoyed working with Darren at myhelpfulhints, he was prompt, competent and completed the review quickly, the review he posted was indexed by Google in the same week and has; pushed extra traffic to our website and increased buyer confidence. I could not recommend it more.
Fantastic website and service
It's been a pleasure to work with Darren. He has been a massive help with promotional content and has gone over and above my expectations. The review site is high quality and the reviews are thoughtful and detailed.
Such a nice community!
I've not been on here long, but the community seem so helpful and nice. Lots of like minded small businesses working together to help each other. There needs to be more of that in the world!

Wonderful directory, covers all bases
I'd really recommend visiting the directory and going through the hashtag for this community - very diverse set of artists and creators, covering practically any school of expertise you can think of!
Great for if you're shopping for a special and unique gift, or even if you're wanting to entertain yourself with independent media, such as books, podcasts, and YouTube channels. Would also recommend it to other businesses looking for a platform to boost their exposure online or meet potential collaborators.
All the community is very helpful and friendly too, so if you have any questions it's very easy to contact members to ask about their wares - very much recommend to anyone who supports small business!
This is my third year of being part of…
This is my third year of being part of this amazing community.
Darren, the creator, is such a lovely chap and likes the odd dad joke (don't let that put you off 😉) and is really helpful too.
The admins of the group are amazing people too, spending lots of time looking after the 470+ members.
And all the members are fabulous too. So many people willing to help each other, answer questions, and even buy within the group too.
The website write ups are amazing, Darren has such a good way with words (except the dad jokes 😉)
I can not recommend this group enough to improve your visibility on social media, improve website traffic and be there when needed.
Great community
Great community
Love being part of this helpful and supportive Community. Have renewed my annual membership. Definitely recommend for any small businesses. T🎈
Very kind and supportive community. Highly recommended!
My Helpful Hints is a remarkable small business directory and product reviews website but above all a great community. Everyone's very kind, respectful, helpful and encouraging. MHHSBD is all about meaningful interactions, support and engagement. Highly recommended! Thank you for everything you do.
This is the second year of MHHSBD…
This is the second year of MHHSBD membership and it's worth every penny.
It has a really supportive community which has proved a big help while trying to run and promote my small business.
If you promote your business via Twitter or Instagram I really recommend signing up.

I saw the #MHHSBD hashtag being used on Twitter, my business is in the very early stages.
Within 24 hours of signing up I was warmly welcomed by the My Helpful Hints & MHHSBD team and members equally. Not only were by tweets being seen by more people than I could imagine, members openly share their knowledge and experience.
I am extremely excited to grow my business with the support of this amazing community and where possible help others with their businesses.
Such a wonderful idea and for such a small fee.

The most positive thing I have done for my SB
I've been a member of Darren's Small Biz Directory since its inception. Since joining engagement on my social media accounts has rocketed and there's been anotable increase in business too.
Joining MHHSBD was the simplest yet most positive thing I have done for my small business. I cannot thank Darren enough for his support and the support given by other members of the directory on SM.
MHHSBD - Not Just Another Small Business Directory...
I signed up to the helpful hints business directory with my other business last year, and found it invaluable, so I couldn't miss signing up with my new venture!
It's not just a business directory; it's a whole community where everyone bands together to support you and assist you if you need it. Don't be put off if you're an introvert - there's no pressure to interact all the time, it's a very chilled atmosphere. Not like some of the other "busybody" groups that are on Facebook etc.
Darren works tirelessly to promote you, and assist you whenever there's an issue, (which I've never had!) - he also tells some really, really bad jokes which is worth the renewal alone... But we can forgive him because he's a good egg.
There's also a fair bit of cake talk, so if you can bring cake to the party that's always a bonus - but don't worry if you can't - there's absolutely no discrimination here, and as a member of the LGBTQ+ community who sells Pride related items, I've never found a bunch of people so supportive and aware.
It's such an inexpensive way to be part of something that will genuinely help your business - and it goes further than that; it's helped my mental state too. We're all in this together, and I wouldn't be without my MHHSBD crew now.
Hugely supportive social media organisation
Hugely supportive, inexpensive social media organisation helping small businesses connect and stay current and noticed. I'm very happy to be part of #MHHSBD
Inexpensive way to promote your brand
I've been a member of the My Helpful Hints community for over a year and would recommend it to any small or growing business. As well as getting a listing in a ranked business directory, you get truly outstanding support on Twitter and Instagram. It's inexpensive to join and the benefits are instant. There is also a strong community bond, support and friendship.
