Hi Reader, Happy Friday! I've been speaking to a lot of freelancers this week while I finalise the remaining chapters of my book for pro freelancers. It's been fun and inspiring and, most of all, incredibly thought-provoking. Excuse me while I sit in a dark room and recover this weekend. Just kidding, I'm finally re-attaching my bathroom ceiling π P.S. This week on Instagram I posted about how it's not enough to have talent as a freelancer (sad face). Watch it here. Anyway, here's what I've...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! Earlier this week, I spoke at the very first Freelance Fest about how you can keep your pipeline full--forever (well, hopefully forever!). You can watch the recording here.

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! I'm back from a glorious two weeks off. I spent a LOT of time outdoors, explored everything there is to explore in Paris (and ate my weight in pastry, cheese, and wine!). I'm feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the last quarter. How are you doing? P.S. This week on Instagram I shared my thoughts on why you might be stuck at Β£2k months. Watch it here. Anyway, here's what I've been up to this week work-wise: π I wrote 3 pieces for clients (including Experlogix and...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! I've taken most of this week off as it's my birthday tomorrow and I'm off to Paris on Monday (no newsletter next Friday!). I've spent the week swimming, playing volleyball, having a massage, relaxing in a spa, and taking nice walks. Basically, spending as much time outside and away from my laptop as possible! P.S. This week on Instagram I shared how I've made Β£300k freelancing over the past two years. Watch it here. Anyway, here's what I've been up to this week...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! This week has gone so quickly. I'm currently wrapping up things for a week off starting next week, so I'm frantically hitting deadlines and getting my ducks in a row. That's one thing I miss about employment--at least when I had time off, I could just shut down my computer and forget about everything! P.S. This week I shared some insights on Instagram into why you're doing yourself dirty if you charge hourly. Watch it here. Anyway, here's what I've been up to this...

Hi Reader, Iiiiiiit's Friday! I've felt incredibly overwhelmed this week. I'm away for a week in September and a week in October and, even though I love the freedom freelancing gives me, it still feels like a mad rush trying to get everything done in time so I can actually *enjoy* my time off. P.S. I shared my July income and expenses on Instagram last week (it was my best month in business EVER). Anyway, here's what I've been up to this week work-wise: π I wrote 5 pieces for clients...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! I've got such a lovely roster of clients at the moment. I'm not opposed to taking on work I'm not 100% into, but it's nice when I enjoy every little thing I write. I'm just gonna bask in that this week (and smash up my bathroom a bit more). Here's what I've been up to this week work-wise: π I wrote 4 pieces for clients (including Experlogix, Cobloom, and Salsify) π I refreshed one piece for Shopify π I ran a week-long challenge in The Promo Playbook's Slack channel β±...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! I've had a relaxing week after the launch of The Promo Playbook. I've had a couple of discovery calls, a chat with a fellow freelancer, and have booked in most of my work for August now (hoping to take a couple of days off at the end of the month for my birthday). How has your week been? Can you believe it's August?! Here's what I've been up to this week: π I wrote 4 pieces for clients (including Circuit, Experlogix, and SimpleTexting) π I refreshed one piece for...
