Showing up in the world requires showing up for yourself first.

Not my newsletter platform calling me out for not sending any newsletters last month 😅

Sorry y'all; I took two weeks off at the beginning of March, and then it took me two weeks to catch up! 😂 Ain't that the way of things. Getting back on track this month tho!

It's World Backup Day! Find one aspect of your work or life that could use a little backup action... is your phone backed up to the cloud? Do you have an external HD you can use to backup your content files? Do you have a backup/alt on social if something happens to your main? Good to think about! 🧡

"[...]flexible talent is no longer just an alternative hiring strategy. It is a fundamental driver for profitability, growth, and innovation."

What do you think? Would you consider hiring a freelancer for your small/micro business in 2025?

I've got a general consult appointment with my business lawyer tomorrow!👩‍💼 I've already sent her a list of my more immediate questions, but maybe I'm overlooking something important... are there any questions you think I should bring to our meeting? Lemme hear em! 🧡

Finally logged into this account on my phone 😅 Hello! 👋

I try to not do *too* much work on my phone, but I keep finding myself wanting to post while being away from my desk. So, fair warning! 😉

Today I'm working on my next newsletter, going out tomorrow(!) and it's got fun stuff in it! By which I mean, subscriber survey results, newsletter stats, and some quotes about community. 🥰 Also a popularity contest between waffles and pancakes. 🥞💥🧇 Who do you think will win??

Well this is... alarming, and disappointing (but sadly, not terribly surprising). I'm exploring options for alternatives but if you have one to recommend please drop a link below!!

Had a chat with my new biz coach this morning and it's always nice to be reminded how much just saying things out loud ~to another human~ can be helpful!

And then they ask questions back to better understand what I'm saying, which helps ME understand what I'm saying? Phenomenal.

The newsletter will be available to read on H2H's Beehiiv homepage as well, and I'll get it cross-posted to the site's blog later this week. Hope you enjoy the read. 🧡

The next newsletter, discussing the meaning of the new Hustle to Hire name, will be going out on Tuesday!

I had hoped to send it last week, but tbh I got distracted watching the hastening collapse of the American government, and spending some much-needed afk time with friends. Hoo boy. 😅

Hello to the new followers joining me here after the last newsletter catch-up!! Glad to see you again 🥰 Please feel free to drop into the comments any time or tag me into relevant posts! DMs are hit and miss; email is better. Let's build something cool and take care of each other. 🧡

My next rebranding newsletter--about the origins of the new "Hustle to Hire" name--has been delayed as I've worked to update the email contact list to include OG subscribers and folks who opted into emails when signing up on the marketplace.

Just confirmed a full year's contract with the external dev team! I'm very excited to start spending more time on developing the restructured site, and integrating new features that we've never hosted in the marketplace before. 🧡

The email delving into details about the new business name (which I'm so excited to share!!) will be on the way hopefully by the end of the week! Thanks for your patience y'all!

I've learned a lot about audience segmentation and automation this week. 😎 Now we're one big happy email list!

Newly imported contacts will get an email on Monday about changes to the newsletter platform and the upcoming rebranding efforts for the marketplace site.

Newer signups to the rebranding newsletter probably won't see it in their inbox; it's mainly to catch up legacy users on what's going on. 🧡

Ya girl gone and got herself a spot in a business coaching cohort. Things are REALLY gonna start moving these next few months!!

This work is ~hard~ but it feels SO important, especially now, especially with the unknowns (and the knowns) we face; I'm excited to dig the fuck in.

You were on my shortlist already, so thank you for affirming that! 🤩🖤

One thing I've been toying with regarding this relaunch is getting people more involved via a focus group or...? I'm chipping away at the redesign of the marketplace, but until that's ready for beta testing I feel a bit like I'm working in a vacuum. 😅 Interested? 👇

I regularly go through and archive jobs from freelancers who haven't logged in for a while to avoid missed connections, but it's always a good idea to send someone a quick DM to say hello and confirm their availability!

While I'm working on new things BTS, don't forget that the original SWRolodex website is up and running!

Just this week I approved two new gigs for hire: one freelancer is offering script writing for $10, and another is ready to help you with findom coaching and mentoring starting at $60!

ICYMI the first couple weeks of my 2025 have been a bit sideways, but I'm back on track now and getting caught up on some things! I should be caught up with email stuff by the end of the weekend. 🧡

Shoot me a DM or email talk@hustletohire.com if you'd be open to talking with me directly about the relaunch of the site. This could be 1:1 convo, surveys, maybe a Discord thing? Mainly I'd love to get some perspective from others to make sure I'm building in the right direction!! Hmu 🧡
