My name is Laurie Pace but I have branded Elle Pace since my first art website went up in 1995ish. Back in the 'old days' we did not want to put our real name out there... we have come a long way!  I am an internationally collected artist.  No laughing...but I have painted my entire life from about age 9 forward, but became a commercial artist, then head artist at an ad agency for over 10 years, all while continuing as a print and runway model from age 14 to age 34. Raised three great kids, have an awesome husband that is the best shipper of my artwork worldwide. I am one of the older members in this group. I remember when I was invited in ...was in 2016ish and I had switched all my clients to SQS and I felt totally old compared to everyone!... but I am still at it. I sponsored and created a Texas Art group... The artists of Texas, and it was formed in 2008. I believe in mentoring artists and sharing marketing ideas to those they cannot quite get there.  AND I am not big on Social Media... feel like it drags too much time out of life.  I have had a google blog since 2007ish and while I am off blogging right now with my Mom at almost 95 having health issues... Google blogger rocks!  I have had 1,325,939 Visitors and it would have been twice this had I continued to blog as I was doing 7 days a week!  I am excited about these new group areas!
I also was the creator and Editor in Chief of Visual Language Magazine and for 5 years I put out 12 editions each year creating a fabulous place for artists to get their work seen.  My website for Website Design is https://visuallanguagedesign.com

I am one of the older creators in the group as well... but seems like I am the first artist in the sense of not just graphic and web design, but as an internationally collected painter.  I sell from my personal website... and I have a secondary site for my website and graphic work.  I worked many years ago as head artist for an ad agency and we were still without computers and the last year I was there we had an apple computer!  Days of Dreamweaver... MUSE etc. long gone!

Social Media!  As an original blogger on Google Blogs, I was accustomed to high numbers of 8-10,000 a month (2007).  When I moved to Squarespace and blogged on my personal site with it (2014), I found it worked best to still blog on my Google Blog and leave the article with an unfinished, read more here and direct them to my SQS blog. When I still use that formula today my numbers jump way high from that google blog. 
For clients I encourage using FB now that you can post duplicates to instagram from there. For smaller business clients, I encourage posting FB/Instagram at least 4 times a week and scheduling posts. I have set clients up on a service that handles the posting, but I have personally never used them.  
Consistency is the key for higher numbers. From 2007 through 2013 I posted 6-7 days a week.  It does pay off.  Now I am a hit and miss.  (Thanks for reminding me!!!).

I like to take on a mindset of these three concepts: Expectations, Transparency, and Overdelivering.­
Setting expectations with your clients means clearly describing the normal course of doing business with you. What does your processes look like? Timeframes? What is inside and outside of scope? What is expected of your client? What will delay delivery of a successful outcome? Communicating expectations allows you to exceed expectations.
Transparency is being open and honest with processes, pricing, and the limits of your services. Communicate often. Own up to mistakes immediately and address them. Be open about potential conflicts or differences of opinion with your client. They will thank you for your honesty and will likely be happy to find a win-win solution.
Overdelivering is another key that will set you apart. Again, clearly communicate outcomes, and don’t over promise, even if you have the best intensions. Always provide something extra: Beat a deadline, provide extra copywriting or images. Add an extra set of revisions.
It might be expensive or time consuming to prevent an unexpected problem. But if you wait for a problem to happen, the costs are dramatically higher, and could even cost you a customer. Use these concepts and add them to your strategy. This will compliment what @christyprice recommends: automate processes, and remove yourself as a bottleneck.

Hi Nicola
Depending on the size, you should be able to migrate the blog content from, 7.0 to 7.1 using a third party tool or by booking a Squarespace Expert who is familiar with the process.
