When you’re running an online business, especially if you’re running it on your own, your tools are like your team – your coworkers, your peers. 🤖 And the relationship can be just as important. Think about it: You need to work well with each other, they need to work well […]
Note from Brittany: Hey there! Awhile back, I saw a Facebook group post about automating a Trello social media calendar that just blew my mind. It was from Alex here, and I’m so excited to have her share it with you today! We all know how important it is to […]
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 […]

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 […]
