Hey

This week’s newsletter is stacked with platform updates that might shift how you show up online, some wild AI news coming in fast (especially if you’re in the EU), and a few of my go-to business tools that I’ve twisted some juicy discounts out of… just because I love you.

Oh, and if you've been eyeing my Onboarding Template Pack? Today’s your last chance to grab it at 30% off. After today, it’s back to full price, and I won’t be running this offer again for a while.

Let’s get into it…

BUSINESS NEWS & UPDATES

​

• Instagram posts are now showing up in Google search, which could give your content a major SEO boost.

​

• The EU’s new AI rules start in August, and they apply to anyone using tools like ChatGPT in their workflow- a must-read for small businesses!​
  ​
• ​TikTok is under a second EU investigation, this time over data transfers to China; privacy concerns are growing.

​

• ​Jack Dorsey launches ‘bitchat’, a private, Web3-based messaging app that’s being positioned as a safer alternative to WhatsApp.

THIS WEEK’S STEAL WORTHY TOOLS & DISCOUNTS

I get asked a lot about the tools I use to run my business, so I’ve teamed up with a few of my favourites to give you exclusive discounts. No pressure, no pushy sales, just sharing what’s helped me (and my clients), in case it helps you too.

VEED – Easy Video Editing for Non-Techy Creators​
If you make short-form video content (Reels, TikTok, podcast clips), VEED is a game-changer. No clunky downloads, no confusing timelines, just drag, drop, caption, done.
Perfect if you’re a service provider, coach, or content creator who doesn’t have time to faff around with Premiere Pro.

My friends over at VEED are letting me pass on 50% off, just for you. Check it out!​

Shoutt – The Client-Finding Alternative to Upwork

You’ve probably heard me mention Shoutt; it’s a more ethical, less saturated alternative to those big freelance platforms like Upwork & Fiverr.

I’ve connected with some brilliant service providers and clients here, and it’s one of the few platforms that actually feels built for freelancers, not just clients.

They’re letting me give you a chance to test it out with 50% off your first month, and honestly? The job board alone is worth it.

Flodesk – Stunning Email Marketing That Doesn’t Fry Your Brain

If you’ve outgrown Mailchimp or just want something prettier and more intuitive, Flodesk is where it’s at.
What I love most: their drag-and-drop editor actually works as you'd expect, the branding is beautiful, and you can send unlimited emails at a flat rate.
Bonus: I also got you 50% off your first year here, too- go me!

And While We’re Talking Discounts…

Today’s the final day to grab 30% off my Onboarding Template Pack, the exact templates I use to bring in new clients with clarity and confidence.
Includes: proposal, welcome pack, contract, and portfolio template, ready to customise and send.
