Unless you’ve followed or paid close attention to what @jk_rowling has been saying, extremely courteously & politely for 10 long years now, & witnessed the decade-long, non-stop onslaught of the worst possible abuse, threats, lies & slander…

UNLESS you’re 100% aware of how civilly & calmly she has conducted herself in the face of such vitriol, hatred & aggression & actively involving family members…

UNLESS you’ve watched, time & time again, men telling her to “sit down & shut up”, “control yourself, woman” or “I don’t think that’s very nice. Why can’t you just be kind & accept what we are telling you?”,
I’m really NOT convinced that it’s your f***ing place to pop up NOW & instruct her to exercise ‘basic common decency’…

SHE’S BEEN DOING THAT FOR 10 YEARS.

So, I’m sure all you bleating, barking men, out there, who’ve suddenly decided she’s “crossed a line”, you, embarrassingly, HAVEN’T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION, have you?

She’s done the whole “being kind” schtick. (For many more years than most of us would, to be honest).

Where has that got her?

TRA’s don’t CARE about that. They are going to hate her regardless. They want the hate. They crave it. Nevertheless, she continued to debate with grace & courtesy, whilst others raged at her from basements etc, worldwide.

But, to you, watching from the sidelines, now popping up like f***ing whack-a-moles, you might have failed to notice that she is out of fucks to give & has said so. Clearly.

And believe it or not, she has the unwavering gratitude & support of a HUGE (& ever-growing) number of women, girls, gay people, transsexuals, detransitioners, parents & children.

Why?

Because she took the fall for those who felt they had no voices nor a chance to say “No”.

Well, they do now. And if that bugs the heck out of you, you’ll have to find a better coping strategy. Because our voices, loudly & given strength because of her, will NEVER deny the truth & always speak up for those who are TRULY vulnerable & marginalised.

And shame on all the Q+ organisations for turning your backs on her, after all the help & financial support she gave to those with HIV. Shame on you.

Thank you again @jk_rowling for standing tall & for NOT “staying in your goddamn’d place!” ❤️

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

#Women make the world a more beautiful place; they protect it and keep it alive. They infuse the grace of renewal, the embrace of inclusion, and the courage to make our lives a gift. Peace is born from women; it emerges and is rekindled from the tenderness of mothers.

Every professional should start an email list, but not everyone should write a weekly newsletter.

Here's what you should do instead:

1. Choose a topic that you know well. That could be UI design, real estate floor plans, buying businesses, e-commerce, or something else.

Something that your friends and co-workers ask you for help on.

2. Write a 5 email series (in a Google doc) teaching that topic. Each email should be 250-500 words. Write like you're explaining it to a friend. Ask 2-3 friends to review it for you.

3. Create a landing page in @ConvertKit for the course. There are 30+ templates to choose from and it's easy to set up. Write the headline around the value you're delivering.

4. Load your emails into a ConvertKit email sequence connected to your landing page. Now any new subscriber will get the emails on autopilot, timed to when they subscribed.

5. Link to the landing page from your social media bios. Now anytime you are active on social you're driving people back to your email course.

6. Ask for replies on what questions readers have or anything else you should add. Filter those into a label in GMail. Then once a month spend an hour and make any suggested updates or improvements.

That's it!

You can go back to practicing your craft on a regular basis, without the burden of creating consistently.

But you've done three things for yourself:

1. You have public documentation of your expertise. That will lead to many more opportunities that you can't predict.

2. You're saving yourself time. When someone asks you "hey, what are your best tips on learning [your topic]?" you can send them to your free email course rather than having to explain it all one off to them.

3. You're building an audience. If you ever decide to double down on content creation you've given yourself a head start. At first you'll have 25 subscribers, but if the course is valuable that will quickly grow to hundreds.

I know people who have used this strategy and picked up thousands of email subscribers before they took it seriously. Those subscribers resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in business for their agency.

10-20 hours of work to set this up will pay dividends for years to come!
