This is where I share my courses and books, and the tools I recommend for your brand if you aim for simplicity as I do.
Because life is too short to spend it figuring your business out instead of having results fast and spending the extra time in the gym (just kidding, don't panic).

Everything in Marketing is overpriced, especially in copywriting.
There's a reasonable explanation: As soon as you change your wording or implement some brand changes, your business gets a boost. That's why business coaches and mentors factor in how fast you'll recover your investment when they price their programs.
I've spent thousands of dollars (literally) in my formation, and it all paid off in the shape of new clients and authority building.
But I also know the many times I would have killed to learn from one specific person and couldn't without asking for a second mortgage on my house.
So I decided to create a very affordable choice: a membership for all pockets.
My free Substack newsletter, "Get Paid for Being You," now has an optional paid subscription. For $12 or $15 a month (depending on your monthly/yearly subscription), you'll get access to a monthly live call on branding, copywriting, storytelling, and LinkedIn. You'll also receive a monthly subscribers-only post answering the most-voted question on those topics.
For a little bit extra ($20 a month), you can join a second monthly live call focused on sales.
Check the topics of the calls here.
You'll never find a more affordable option to learn from a personal branding expert with over 20 years of experience.
If you want to learn about writing in general, content creation, and storytelling, or if you're writing your first book, I have a free Substack newsletter (new) called Miss-Consistency as a personal blog, where you can read about multiple topics, join live "write with me" sessions, or even have a virtual coffee with me.
Books & Manuals
Lurker to lurker: I used to be scared of social media too.
I just couldn't bother, thought it wasn't worth it, and left the stage for other "attention seekers."
Until I decided to start my own online business.
You know what they say... You can't have the fruit without sweating in the garden (anybody says that?)
Then I learned that it wasn't that hard, that it could be fun, and no, you don't need to be an extrovert to do it. You don't even need to like the attention.
These manuals are complete step-by-step guides to help you go from a scared online lurker to a content creator without panicking, being spammy, or sounding like a robot.
You can start your journey with "Launch your voice" for free. It's a one-week email course in which I help you reflect on the kind of brand you want to show the world.

and Tools
The platforms I can't live without that make my life wayyyy easier and save me tons of time.
Some of them are free, and some are paid.
In some cases, I might get a commission at no extra cost to you. I would never recommend what I don't personally use.
The World’s Easiest All-In-One Marketing Platform
FREE. Have your website+ hosting+ landing pages + sales funnel + newsletter + course + your affiliates program, among other things.
If you go for their paid version (extremely affordable) and you used my link, I'll invite you to my affiliate program. Win-win.
Kill all typos and spelling mistakes with Grammarly
FREE. The know-it-all (and sometimes annoying) editor who chases me on every platform.
It's mandatory if you're a fast typer or English is not your first language. I used their free version for almost a year, but the premium rocks and is very cheap. Try one month of premium for free with this link.
The cheapest and fastest payment tool
FREE. If you sell online, you need a payment tool. It's heartbreaking when platforms take a chunk of your hard-earned cash. The 5% that Paypal keeps, or the week that Strype takes to send the funds (+ their chunk) feels unfair at a minimum.
Wise is fast and the cheapest. You can also create payment links to share on a sales call. The other tools are sometimes inevitable, but this is my favorite by far.
Use my link and get either:
- A free transfer up to €500.
- A free card, if available in your region.
