Happy Sunday to 3,333 motivated writers 👋🏼 

You see that subscriber count? That just made my day. Also, it’s another beautiful weekend in Toronto. ☀️ 

Let me share one of my productivity tricks. Sometimes I like to work with some background noise, especially when editing/reviewing at home. I’ve got my go-to lofi Spotify playlist. 

Recently I might have stumbled across something better. I love playing these calming videos in the background. Here's some of my faves:

• This girl who builds the most amazing houses by hand in the jungle

• This guy hiking around the most amazing places

I could watch these all day. Maybe I need to get out more…

Anyway, what’s your trick to stay focused while working?

Hit reply and let me know. I read and respond to every email!

1️⃣ Resource of the week

This app makes posting to WordPress a breeze

Here's another (free) cool tool. DocPress.It lets you create WordPress blog posts directly from Google Docs (in seconds, not hours).  Writing articles in Google Docs is great. Copy-pasting them to WordPress isn’t. Formatting and messing around with images can be a pain. 

I've played around with their free tier and it's pretty slick. If you manage a blog, you should check it out. 

Hakune has great tips for running your freelance biz (and general tips, too)

You know I’m a big fan of transparency. I love it when people share their numbers, like this newsletter. We all know referrals and testimonials from clients are super important for getting more work. That's what this article outlines.

These guys send out tactical, actionable tips and learnings on running a business (yes, freelance writing is a business). Check It out here

Now let’s get onto the opps!! ⬇️
