Hey! Come party with 2,360 creators. I'll help you create opportunities on the internet & sneak through "third doors."
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
Hey Reader,
7 months ago, I began life as a full-time writer.
And today, I’m excited to announce that my first ebook - 180 Days of Freelance Writing - is available for download!
(There's 50% off for 48 hours!)
Here's a quick story:
18 months ago, one of my podcast coaching clients reached out to me. She asked if I could write some blog content.
Sure, I said, why not?
As soon as I said yes, I started spiralling. I’d never freelanced before.
What should I charge?
How should I bill her?
What if she hates my work?
It all worked out fine, but I wish I had known the answer to these questions before I started.
That's why after leaving my corporate job last November, I decided to document my progress on LinkedIn. I wanted to share the highs and lows of building a freelance business.
🚀 Since going self-employed 7 months ago, my life has changed dramatically:
- I’ve built multiple online income streams (freelance clients, online courses, partnerships)
- I’ve spent 4 months in Budapest, NYC, Thailand, Bali, and Paris in 2023
- I spend around 15-20 hours a week working
Now, I’m sharing all my lessons to help other aspiring freelance writers turn their dreams into reality.
So remember, 180 Days of Freelance Writing has a 50% early bird discount for 48 hours.

Happy reading! :)

The question is how can you ask for these in a way that doesn't feel sleazy? A quick story A few months ago, I started working with Kit. It's been a joy. They're a great client. So much so, I wrote a LinkedIn post about how I landed the opportunity: At the end of the post, I thanked Thom — the person I work...
Hey Reader, I'm sorry I ghosted you. Lots of stuff has happened, so I took a break from being online. But I didn't tell you the full story. So here it is: My mum was with her partner, Rich, for 20 years. He was a wonderful man, and I considered him my dad. But a call from my mum soon changed that. "We've got some bad news, I'm afraid. Rich has been diagnosed with lung cancer. And he has brain tumours." It felt like déjà vu. My mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 18 months ago. (She's all...
Read time: 3 mins 📢 Spoiler alert: I have an important update at the end of this email... Hey Reader, I'll be honest; I'm not sure about the freelancing course I put out last week. It was an experiment. I wanted to see: What the unsubscribe rate would be How it would feel to put it out there Whether anyone would book a call It's a mixed bag on all these things, and I felt a little dirty putting the course out there. Why? I copied the style from another creator and it didn't really vibe with...
