Very excited. Very nervous. It's a Nail Your Newsletter Masterclass for people who have always wanted to start or revamp their newsletter. I already have 3 people signed up (out of 12 possible spots). I'd love any feedback on the event text and tips to garner interest and sign-ups. The 3 people coming are in one of my networking groups, and I've emailed other people and clients I've worked with. The event is in person, which is a tiny barrier for some people, though I live in a small city with 2 train stations and a bus station. But just trying to think of ways to sell the workshop as a no-brainer. Other ways I am thinking of getting signups: - Flyers - old-fashioned, straightforward - Tiny Facebook ad campaign - I am thinking like £5 a day for 2 weeks just to target specific groups in my area Let me know what ya'll think!

Ok guys, I'm finally ready to start posting some new content and classroom material. The tl;dr: We need to get moving, and prepare ourselves for what looks like a rocky year(s) ahead. I'm talking more aggressive, more outreach, more growth...all while still remaining true to the thing I preach about in every post, and on every call...we are here to help. Bit of a new tact with these as well. As I mentioned in one of the videos. If you guys want me to help implement any of the things I demonstrate in these new 2025 videos, just book a time in my calendar, and we'll do it together. No more me just assuming that everyone will figure out the technical things, even though I'm keeping things as easy as I can. Beyond that, I want to be clear that it's not doom and gloom, it's simply that the more we do to prepare ourselves for a rocky economy, the easier we'll ride it out, and the better we'll be positioned for the good times ahead. First two videos are up, with transcripts. In video one I set the stage some, and video two is where I start going through the things I'm doing to grow my new businesses. All of this of course in addition to the content and storytelling we're all already doing on a regular basis...right? :) I've also got some things to make that easier as well. Ok, get ready, I'm going to post a ton of shit this week and next.

Totally kidding. This is not something super complex. But if you want to try one of the things I've been playing with, you're welcome to. Just don't go too nuts as it's using my ChatGPT API credits ( for now ). It's a chrome extension, for creating quick, short posts, based on the content of your browser screen. So say you're on Twitter, and someone is saying that Elon Musk is a Nazi ( could happen ). You'll click the extension, add your thoughts, choose the length and the platform you want to publish on ( then click elaborate ). Give it a second and voila, you've got some copy to post to your own networks. Not meant to replace the writer. It's simply to speed up the process for some posts. The real magic, if you go into the settings ( gear icon top right ), is that you can add in your details and tone of voice ( DO NOT CHANGE THE KEY ). To make it more....you. Hence that tone of voice post earlier. Just a fun little thing, part of many larger things i'm building, to play with. to install it, go into your Chrome ( or any chrome based browser like Arc ) and click on your extensions. In the top right you'll have to flip the Developer Mode toggle. When you do, some new buttons will appear, one of which will be Load Unpacked. Click that, find the folder ( from the zip archive attached to this message that you uncompressed ), and Bob's Your Uncle. No data collected. Nothing saved on my end, all happens in ChatGPT and in that extension window. Let me know how it works and if there are any issues.

Hi everyone, Tania here... Kerry's encouraged me to share some good news with the team since I’ve learned a few things through launching my mentorship program, so in case you find any of this helpful, I’m happy to share. Background: I soft-launched my mentorship program for artists by listing my services (currently 2 program options) on my website on the last week of December… and last week I booked two new clients! *the crowd goes wild* 🎉 One is a paying client, and the other is an art student looking for mentorship through her college art program. I’ve been wanting to redirect my community-service efforts specifically to the arts, so this feels like a win, even if it’s not a paid gig. The paying client found me through IG - he started following me in December and expressed interest in mentorship when I hinted my program would be dropping soon - so I tried to keep him warm until the soft-launch when he could shop my services in my storefront. And it worked. Here’s what I learned in the process of converting him from follower to paying client: ✅ Some potential “clients” will feign interest in you/your product in order to suck your energy dry ➡️ ...being wary of this, I engaged in conversation with this client by exercising boundaries around my response times and frequency of communication. I maintained a friendly-yet-professional tone when chatting. Not all followers are potential clients, knowing who’s “worth” chatting with calls for following your gut - I’ve been burned before, but in this case, investing my time in chatting/building connection and conversation within healthy professional boundaries ended up being worth it. ✅ He expressed concerns about the cost of my program ➡️ ...and instead of lowering my pricepoint for him, I gently encouraged him to invest in himself, if he wanted to. There was no attempt to hard sell, I didn’t defend my pricing. My rates are not negotiable just because they’re inaccessible to some people. I wanted him to know that other clients are paying this rate - I wasn’t desperate to secure him as a client and he knew I was able to fill his potential spot with someone else.

Guys, I love things like this. And had no idea it was a thing until just now. If you go into the Substack app, head over to your profile, and into your activity, you'll of course find a list of all your posts and notes. But. If you tap on the three dots in the top right of any post ( see first screenshot attached ). You'll see a "Save as Image" option. Which will get you ( the second screenshot attached ). Boom. An instant image to upload to Instagram, or threads or wherever, with your words and your Substack url. I like Substack more and more every day. I actually built a Chrome extension to do this from tweets, which I should post here if anybody wants it. But again, these little things, these little helpful actions, are so cool.
