Thursday Press #107: a holiday hail mary?
[24 NOV 2023] Lifestyle Edition Vol. 020
I put down my exceptionally exciting spicy holiday romance to write this email, so I hope you appreciate it.
In all honesty, I spent 4 out of 5 days this week thinking…
I don't need to add to the noise
Who even wants anOTHER email on Black Friday?
What can I say that hasn't been said before?
But then I remembered all the times I've missed out on special deals and sales by just a hair's breadth of time and been absolutely GUTTED.
And unlike your favorite neighborhood market, most of the companies running BFCM sales in the business world don't offer price matching or rain checks. Once these sales are done, they're done.
I'm here to save you from that fate, bestie.
That's why this month's Friday Favorites is coming a week early. I'll be sharing some of my favorite sales you should shop this month as well as other more lifestyle-esque things I've been loving lately.
SALES TO SHOP
If you want to finally understand the Pinterest algorithm (and the best way to do it yourself)…
My absolute favorite (and hands-down best) Pinterest course EVER is on sale for $150 off until Dec 1! You've probably heard me talk about Levee Road Studio before, because Amy's resources are some of the only ones I recommend.
She takes a data-based approach to testing and education that I so appreciate in a world full of “this worked for me once so now I'm going to teach you” courses.
Use the code SHORTCUTS to save $150 on the course, or use the code BFCM2023 to save 50% on any of the other products in her shop.

If you need a scheduling platform for Pinterest…
Get 50% off your new Tailwind annual plan. You don't have to use Tailwind, but it's my recommendation for Pinterest scheduling, and if you're considering it, now's the best time!
If you need on-brand, captivating images and videos…
Haute Stock is offering a lifetime $100 discount on their annual plans, making the fee $399 (usually $499/year). You also get extra bonuses when you join, and the library is consistently updated with new imagery.

If you want to learn how to create a content marketing strategy to drive traffic and sales from dream clients…
The best content marketing (and website copywriting) course I've ever taken is currently available to join for a limited time.
Between the Lines Copywriting's signature Site Series course is open for enrollment, with some pretty bangin' bonuses, if I do say so myself (get the 411 here).
>> Join Site Series for a special surprise!
If you're planning on launching a course or any kind of digital product…
You need a checkout platform. And the best one of all (in my opinion) is running their first ever sale that I'm SO JEALOUS I COULDN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF.
Sorry for yelling, but that's how much I mean it.
ThriveCart is offering you $100 off their platform. And the best part? It's only a one. time. payment.
That's right. It's not a subscription or something you'll have to pay an arm and a leg for every month/year. AND it's a super freakin' powerful platform. Like, what more could you ask?!?!?

& let's finish off with the non-business related sale I'll DEF be shopping…
If you need personalized gifts for friends & family…
Artifact Uprising is my go-to every year, to the point that my family members expect their annual calendar refills.
WHAT I'M LOVING
Favorite Book: I don't know why I put off reading this book for so long, but Delilah Green Doesn't Care definitely lives up to the hype. It had several typical romance novel tropes, but they weren't overdrawn or unbearable. The book was just so sweet, with the best cast of characters that I can't wait to return to in the sequels!
Favorite Watch: My latest TikTok hyperfixation has been home bakers. Here are two that I love to watch every single video from:
Favorite Desk Tunes: ONLY RUMORS 'BOUT MY HIPS AND THIGHS AND MY WHISPERED SIGHS OH LORD
and, um… that's about it.
Favorite Posts: Between hot takes and value-loaded blogs, there's been lots of content to consume in September and October. Here are a few of my faves:
Favorite Coffee Order: It's that time of year when I remind you to swap the vanilla syrup for peppermint in the Starbucks vanilla sweet cream cold brew. It's my go-to recipe for a foolproof festive drink.
And of course, here's this month's favorite cat pictures:
Hope you had a happy Turkey day (or Thursday, if you don't partake), and may the Black Friday/Cyber Monday odds be ever in your favor! 🫡
