Note: this post obviously has affiliate links because this whole post is about how I’m trying harder at affiliate marketing. 😉 Regular readers know how obsessed I am with doing more with less. Whether it’s doing more work in less time, using less tools for the same tasks, or making more […]
(This post contains affiliate links 💰 – because I’m really good at buying chocolate, and really bad at not buying chocolate.) You know I’ve seen getting a really bad rep lately? MailChimp. And I don’t really get it. Suddenly, it’s become the “newbie tool” and “you can’t use it if you’re […]
This is a guest post from Terra Dawn, my amazing and dorktastic mastermind partner! Check the bottom of the post for her bio! First off, I am SOOOO excited to be chilling on Brittany’s blog with you crazies today!! I’ve been a fan and friend of hers for a few […]

Not a cheap process, as it turns out. And did I […]
Move over, confirmation emails. People care more about a different type of 2-step opt-in now. (By the way, who else finds this homonym unnecessarily confusing?) More bloggers are getting smart to the fact that growing your email list is the best thing you can do for your blog. And since […]
I felt famous. And I’m not gonna lie, it felt fucking fantastic. My post – my nerdy little ode to planners and notebooks – had gone viral. (I know…I hate that word. It sounds like your blog post needs an antibiotic or something. But stay with me here.) Over 1,000 […]
I’ve been trying to come up with a thoughtful, well-written way to talk about the past year. Even though around this time last year, I was writing my #GetGutsy essay about learning to accept that I wasn’t a person who went out and did things, I did a lot of […]
I see it all the time. Someone posts in Slack. In a Facebook group. On Twitter. “I want to start growing my email list with content upgrades. How do I deliver them?” one blogger asks. And every other blogger currently online shouts, “LeadPages!” But why? I mean, yeah. LeadPages can deliver […]
