🍍 Aloha Friday Scoops From Your Techie Bestie | April 26, 2024


Itʻs Aloha Friday Reader!! 🌺

Iʻve been having conversations with my kiddo on her thoughts on working for a big company and having to chat with so many people throughout her shift. She had a revelation.

"I like people more than I thought"

TikTok Ban

TikTok is in the news because President Biden signed into law a bill that could ban the smartphone app in the US. But maybe you've never used TikTok. Here's the basics and why the app is important.

Creative Market

Have you ever needed something digital for work you are doing but needed more. Like letʻs say while working in Canva you arenʻt getting or seeing what you need to make your design complete?

I like to use Creative Market. Iʻve purchased fonts, graphics, website templates, etc. Fair warning if you love fonts like how I love fonts, you may spend a whole day without realizing it down that rabbit hole. 🤪

I met this weekʻs community bestie a couple of years ago and have loved all the tips sheʻs shared. Being a photographer her eye to detail is like *chefʻs kiss*. In fact I purchased a lightroom preset package I use every week to use on my photos.

Anyway, sheʻs a Instagram queen and I constantly learn from her and you can too.

Find her on the gram. Her favorite place to hang out.

Head over to her website and see all the goodies sheʻs got.

What helps you focus when working?

Sometimes I need ambient music in the background and I realize I work really well when I head to my local coffeehouse.

Iʻve had this or other videos as part of my playlist. So hope this helps.


K, Byeeeeee!

P.S.- Anna & I did a 30 days in April Video challenge a couple years ago and this was one of the videos that still apply to Canva users =)

Think of this email as having your work bestie sharing what they found on social media, in their emails, what tool they used to make the job easier, and community besties that may be of value for their (your) network. Techie Bestie Activate. (*sips coffee*)

Aloha friend! 🌺 Real talk — one of the biggest things I hear from small business owners is "I don't know what to post." And I get it. Truly. But here's what I've learned after helping clients with their content: You don't have a content problem. You have a remix problem. That Instagram post you wrote last month? That email you sent in the spring? That story you told on a client call last week? That's content gold — sitting in your drafts, your camera roll, and your brain — waiting to be...

Hey Besties! Quick check-in before the Automated Sales Bundle closes tomorrow — because I don't want you to miss what's inside, and I especially don't want you to miss mine. The Funnel Flow Roadmap™ is the most practical thing I've built for founders who feel like something in their business isn't connecting — but can't quite put their finger on what. It's not a fix. It's a map. Four zones, honest questions, and one clear next step. Because you can't amplify a business you haven't mapped. And...

Hey [First Name], Here's the thing nobody says out loud in the online business space: Marketing amplifies. It doesn't rescue. If your funnel is unclear, your follow-up is manual, and your systems depend entirely on you being "on" — more marketing just produces more of the same result, faster. That's not a content problem. That's a clarity problem. Which is exactly why I contributed to the Automated Sales Bundle 5.0 — a free collection of 60+ resources organized by Allison Hardy, built...
