"Whatever lifts the corners of your mouth, trust that. ~Rumi
This week has felt longggg. It could be because I started a new part time role. 🙌🏾 #cobblerlife in full effect. In addition to my Customer Research Strategist role at &yet which is going really well, I'll also be working as a Solutions Consultant at SDI Presence. If that name sounds familiar, I worked there before for 15 years. (You are trying to guess my age now right?) 🤔 Excited about this opportunity to help the Chief Development Officer with some projects.
After the topsy-turvyness (is that a word?) of the last few months, I'm really happy to be getting back to some stability and figuring out how to schedule all the jobs and my work with techbizgurl.com. Trialing Sunsama to see if it can help me manage my calendars and tasks. Think of it as if Google Calendar + Trello had a baby. 👼🏾 If you'd like an invite to try it, let me know.
I am also really trying to think big picture about what's next for techbizgurl.com and #jesspicks. I want to do more to help women build side hustles but I want to do it in a way that's sustainable and scalable. So in the vein of trying things and experimentation, I am rolling out a Voxer Coaching offering. Voxer is a free app that turns your phone into a walkie-talkie. This way you can ask me questions before you head to work or if you get stuck while working on your side hustle on a lunch break. And you will get a response within 24 hours! I'm really excited about this service so I'm offering it for $49 through the end of the month (after that the price will increase to $99).
So you get 30 days of 1:1 support from me for $49. This is a NO BRAINER. And yep I'm biased but also worth it. 💁🏾♀️ If you want to make some progress on your side hustle before Thanksgiving, get more deets here!

🛍 MemberVault - I started using this tool when setting up my affiliate marketing challenge and I am loving it as a shop for all my things. It creates what it calls a "binge and buy" marketplace for your audience to see all the things you offer. If you want to check out how I have mine set up, click here. I plan to add even more to it soon.
☕️ Buy Me A Coffee - If you are enjoying #jesspicks, would you like to buy me a coffee? Heard about this tool from #DailyCarnage (great marketing newsletter btw!). I was able to set up my page in less than 10 minutes.

Love this way of being able to check email in the morning but not go down the black hole. Do you check your email before you get out of bed? Guilty. 🙋🏾♀️
