VELA Ground Level Launch — Looking for affiliate partners who serve service-based business owners Type: Affiliate partnership Paid or Free: Free to join, and partners earn commission What it's about This is an affiliate opportunity. VELA is a CEO operating hub for service-based business owners who are ready to stop managing their business from a dozen disconnected places and start running it from one clear CEO view. It sits above the tools they already use, pulls revenue, clients, systems, and projects into one place, and helps them understand what it all means and decide what happens next. We're launching with Ground Level Pricing: a one-time lifetime access offer for $797 that runs Oct. 26 to Nov. 5, 2026. After that, VELA is subscription only ($39 a month or $397 a year). Who VELA is for Coaches, consultants, creative service providers, online business professionals (OBMs, VAs, project managers, fractional executives), agencies, program and membership businesses, and professional services. New business owners get a solid foundation from day one, and established owners get out of running everything from their head, inbox, and calendar. What I'm looking for A small group of launch partners: podcast hosts, newsletter writers, community owners, educators, and coaches whose audience is service providers or online business owners. You'd share VELA with your audience at least three times during the launch: at the beginning, in the middle, and before it closes. I provide the swipe copy and assets. What you get 40% commission on every lifetime sale during the launch, which is $318.80 each, with no cap After the launch, 20% recurring commission on every subscription you refer, for as long as they stay subscribed Your own tracked link Swipe copy and graphics for all three shares A demo account to look around first, plus a recorded walkthrough for your audience Support from me whenever you have a question Timeline Apply by Friday, Oct. 9. The launch runs Oct. 26 to Nov. 5, 2026.

Okay, what are we all up to this weekend? 😂 Working on something exciting? Catching up on the stuff you've been ignoring all week? Getting outside? Making something? Doing absolutely NOTHING business-related? I'm curious what everyone is up to. Business answers welcome. Non-business answers VERY welcome. 😂💗 Tell me! 👇

Hi, I’m Cindy!👋 I'm fairly new here, so let me introduce myself. I’m a Virtual Assistant and Online Business Manager for female coaches, healers and service providers. I'm a former hairstylist, coffee lover, lake-walk enthusiast and cat mom to a very opinionated and talkative girl named Spirit. I live in small lake town in Canada with my husband, and I’m big on balance, meaningful connection and building a life that feels good outside of work too. One of my big goals this year in my business has been to grow my email list, and we are succeeding! It has been such a fun journey and it made me really love email marketing. A few things about me: ✨ I moved across the country in 2018 ✨ I’m an introvert but I love deep conversations ✨ Yoga, reading, and time by the water are my reset ✨ I believe business should support your life, not consume it ✨ I'm learning Italian (389 day streak on Duolingo) ✨ I absolutely hate beans! ✨ I love alphas and llamas Now your turn, tell me something random about you.

But can we talk about something for a second? WHY do we only wish the KIDS a happy birthday when WE did all the work?! 😂😂 I mean, excuse me. I grew an entire human. I gave birth. I was THERE. I feel like I deserve a little recognition too. LOL. Technically, it's the anniversary of the day I became a mom. So happy birthday to my oldest... and happy birthing day to ME! 🥳😂❤️ And to all the moms in here, I think we need to start celebrating ourselves on our kids' birthdays too. Who's with me?! 😂🙌
