Hot Cross Buns, Fairytale-Themed Web Pages & An Updated Freebie

I'm writing this on Good Friday to be sent out on Easter Monday. I expect some of you won't read it until Tuesday, depending on whether you've taken the bank holiday off or treated it like any other day.

My husband is in the office today (Friday), so I've decided to work. I've got a busy weekend ahead, so I thought I'd be proactive and get this email written before I start on the hot cross buns.

If you read these updates on the website, you might notice I've made a few changes to the site menu.

If you don't read these updates on the site, I'm going to take this opportunity to remind you that I also add a weekly blog post to the site every Wednesday. If you want to read any of the blog posts or any past emails, they are all available here (or just click the 'view in browser' link at the top of this email). And the most recent ones are always listed at the very bottom of my emails.

But back to those updates I mentioned.

I've added some new pages to the site because I've added the option to sign up for some of my services directly through the site.

They all have fairytale themes because...well... the site (and my book) is called The Freelance Fairytale.

Stick to the Path: This is my free content (which includes these email updates and the blog posts I just mentioned). The tips, advice and ten-minute tasks are designed to help you stay on track (or stick to the path) with your business.

Brick Houses: This is my group support designed to help you build strong marketing foundations. This includes monthly co-working events, quarterly lunch and learns, and member-only content.

Fairy Godmother: This is one-to-one mentoring support on a rolling basis (my Mentoring Lite programme). You get two calls per month, and unlimited email or WhatsApp support (plus everything in Brick Houses).

I want to make it as easy and affordable as possible for people to access my support because I know it's tough for a lot of freelancers right now. So if you do know any freelancers who would find these emails (and my blog posts) useful, please do send them a link to my site.

Pay-as-you-go co-working

Thursday's co-working event was fab. Everyone enjoyed it and, most importantly, everyone made progress with their projects.

I only have a handful of members right now, so I'm only running one event a month, but my plan is to add more as I get bigger numbers.

If you'd like to get involved with the next event, but aren't ready to commit to a monthly membership, you can book on a pay-as-you-go basis.

My next event is Thursday, 15th May at 13:00-14:30, and you can book here for only £15.

Free Course: Get Copy Confident

Back in 2021, I created a free email course - Get Copy Confident. It's a series of 14 emails covering the basics of copywriting and content marketing. I put a lot of time into it, and it had a good response. But I stopped promoting it, and it just kind of sat doing nothing for a while.

I decided to revitalise it and move it to a new email platform. While I was moving it over, I updated it and added a few extra bits.

If you didn't sign up for it the first time around, you can sign up now. It's absolutely free and there's no catch. You get sent a welcome email and then 14 emails over 14 days - that's it. No ongoing sales messages at the end - just 14 emails full of marketing tips.

Ok, that's it from me - I'm off to hunt down some hot cross buns. Meanwhile, you'll find your weekly ten-minute task below, followed by some chocolate-themed anagrams.
