THE NEWSLETTER


I’m back in your inbox after a few days offline, sun-soaked and slightly over-caffeinated from my trip to Lake Balaton!

And while I was soaking up the Hungarian lakeside, my business kept ticking over because my systems did what they’re supposed to do: hold it down when I step away. That’s the kind of ease I want for you, too not just in theory, but in practice.

This week’s newsletter is all about getting clients, keeping them, and communicating like the high-level service provider you are. Plus: some fresh platform updates you’ll want to know about (hello, Reels playlists and smarter AI tools).

Let’s get into it…


BUSINESS NEWS & UPDATES

  • Freelancers skilled in AI automation and chatbot setup are in high demand, according to Fiverr’s latest trend report.


BUSINESS TIPs

Want More Clients? Start With Better Communication.

If you're not getting clients, chances are it's not your pricing. It's not the algorithm. It's not even the market being “too saturated.”

It's your messaging.

The way you pitch yourself in emails, in DMs, in job applications - it matters. And right now? Too many freelancers are sending lazy one-liners, AI-generated templates, or outreach that’s all about them.

Here’s what actually gets attention:
– A clear, respectful intro
– Specifics about how you can help (not just “I’d love to support you”)
– Proof that you read the job/client post and care about the result
– Your real voice- not a ChatGPT copy-paste

Because when a client’s reviewing 10+ applications, the one that feels thoughtful, tailored, and confident? That’s the one that stands out.

Ready to get weekly support, feedback, and no-BS advice from people who actually get it?


ON THE PODCAST

Episode 7: Why So Many Freelancers Fail

Spoiler: it’s not a lack of talent, it’s a lack of systems, clarity, and realistic timelines. In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many freelancers burn out before they ever get traction, and what you need to do differently if you actually want to make this sustainable.

Episode 8: Why You’re Not Getting Clients

It might not be your prices or your skills; it might be how you’re communicating. This episode dives into the messaging mistakes that are getting freelancers ghosted (and overlooked), and how to actually stand out in your outreach without sounding like a robot.
