Hey guys! Long time no see! I promised I’d be more consistent in my blogging, but here I am. Just ya know, trying to run a business during A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. Hashtag nbd.

Anyways, I’ve been freelancing social media and writing services now for just over 8 months and while it’s been a sharp learning curve, I’m pleased to be able to share some of my acquired “hacks” aka tools with y’all, so today I’m sharing my favorite tools and resources (and some serious savings $$$) for all my freelancers and side hustlers out there. Enjoy!
