I'm hopeful that 2025 will be better for freelancers

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! This is the final Friday Freelance Tips newsletter of the year (and what a year it's been!). I'm taking a full two weeks away from my desk over the festive break and it's VERY much needed. I hope you manage to take some time to rest, relax, and reflect on the past year. Or, you know, just stuff yourself full of mince pies and wine (that's what I'll be doing!). P.S. This week on Instagram, I shared another day in the life video that shows what I get up to as a...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! Just a quick reminder that you don't have to "finish the year strong". I'm planning to let it fade out in a fog of mince pies and mulled wine. In fact, I'm basically WISHING it away at this point. I'm exhausted and desperately need a break, and I'm pretty sure a lot of you feel the same! P.S. This week on Instagram, I revealed how I manage to work 20 hours a week as a freelancer. See it here. Here's what I've been up to this week work-wise: 👉 I wrote 3 pieces for...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! When was the last time you celebrated a project you were proud of? Creative fulfillment isn’t just about doing the work—it’s about acknowledging the wins. Finished a tough project? Celebrate. Landed a client? Celebrate. Learned a new skill? Celebrate. Give yourself permission to be proud. You’ve earned it. P.S. This week on Instagram, I shared some of the scripts I use to manage boundaries with clients. See them here. Here's what I've been up to this week work-wise: 👉...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! I added a brand new module to Pitch & Prosper this week that's full of practical activities you can do to grow your warm pitching ecosystem. If you don't know what that is, I highly recommend watching my free 30-minute training if you haven't already! Watch it here. Ps. You can get £50 off Pitch & Prosper as a Friday Freelance Tips subscriber. P.S. This week on Instagram, I shared my process for juggling 7-10 clients each month. See it here. Here's what I've been up...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! I don't know about you, but I'm always under the false illusion that this time of year is quiet... and yet, it's SO busy right now. In the past week alone, I've had 4 new client enquiries. I'm hopeful that this means things are looking up for 2025 🤞 P.S. This week on Instagram, I posted a "day in the life" video, where you can see what I worked on and got up to. Watch it here. Here's what I've been up to this week work-wise: 👉 I wrote 4 pieces for clients (including...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! Big news 🎉 I'm launching The Promo Playbook v2.0 on Monday for the final time this year. If you want to get in on this cohort and start 2025 with a promo strategy that attracts the kind of clients you've always wanted to work with, get yourself on the waitlist. I'll only be launching to the waitlist this time around, so you need to be on it if you want to join 😉 P.S. This week on Instagram, I shared some ways you can network as a freelancer. See them here. Here's what...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! It's been an exciting week. I finally set up some Facebook/Instagram ads, I joined a "fireside" chat with Sarah Greesonbach, Jenni Gritters, and Stacy Corneau (watch it back here), and I launched the new Freelance Magic brand on Instagram. P.S. This week on Instagram, I shared why boundaries are so important for freelancers. See it here. Here's what I've been up to this week work-wise: 👉 I wrote 4 pieces for clients (including Experlogix, Whop, and Klaviyo) 👉 I...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great two weeks. I'm back from sipping cocktails on a Greek beach and I'm pumped for everything I've got coming up over the next couple of months (except, obviously, reinstating the bathroom ceiling which still isn't up). P.S. This week on LinkedIn, I spoke a bit about how I went from 0-10,000 followers over the past two years. See it here. ALSO. I'm doing a fireside freelance chat with Sarah Greensonbach, Stacy Corneau, and Jenny Gritters next...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! Just to get the accountability out of the way: I did not reattach my bathroom ceiling last weekend. But I did make great headway with the Freelance Magic rebrand. I'm in the process of making a ton of new content (mostly for Instagram, so make sure you give me a follow there), but also for the podcast and blog. I've got SO MUCH planned for the next few months, including relaunching The Promo Playbook, launching an upgraded, even better version of Workflow Wizard, and...
