Hey there — happy Saturday! 😄
Welcome to the 23rd issue of The Weekend Whirlwind. As a reminder, TWW is a quick weekend email with a few thoughts or articles or tips to help you out. Or just stuff to share, which may not even be business related. Short, sweet, and to the point. 😉
THINGS FOR THIS WEEKEND’S WHIRLWIND:
THING 1 — Helpful link: Organize your newsletter stats and keep track of your email ideas with this free simple Google Doc template.
THING 2 — Random fun fact: An 11-year-old girl proposed the name for Pluto, after the Roman god of the underworld. (And dammit, Pluto is STILL a real planet! 😂)
THING 3 — TWW tips: Looking to outsource? Finding someone to outsource tasks to can be stressful, especially if you’ve never done it before. There are a few things you can avoid, to give you the best chance at finding a lasting partnership.
The first thing to avoid is: waiting too long to hire. So many people put off getting help that they’re so desperate when they do, they end up hiring the first person someone refers to them, rather than taking their time to meet with and evaluate a few people and choosing the one that seems like the best fit.
(Did you know, I’m also a virtual assistant? 😉 If you’re looking to outsource some tasks, I might be able to help!)
THING 4 — Freebie of the week: from Carmen at Simply Couture Designs, get her Selling Printables On Etsy Course 7 Days Free Trial.
THING 5 — TWW Wisdom: A good sign that you are doing the kind of work you should be doing is that you enjoy the tedious parts that other people find tortuous.
That’s it for this time — let me know what you think, and have a great weekend! 😎
