One of my favorite things to do as a teacher was to make resources, guides, and worksheets for my students. Now, as a freelance writer, I put that love of resource making to work for you!
I rounded up some resources that I made as well as some resources from other freelancers. Check them out below!
Stuff I made:
Freelance Foundations: This self-guided course walks you through how to start or grow your freelance business. It includes 6 modules as well as bonus features like an income tracker and Notion companion guide. You can check out the first module, The Foundation, for free!
2026 Simple Business Planning Guide: I took all of the things that I do to plan for the upcoming year and put them in this free, simple guide. It’s only 8 pages, but it walks you through reflecting on the past year and setting yourself up for success in the year to come.
Freelance Writing Toolkit: I rounded up a bunch of resources and tools to help you get started as a freelancer or even level-up if you’ve been doing this for awhile.
Goal Check-In Worksheet: It’s easy to set goals at the beginning of the year and then forget all about them as the year goes on. This Goal Check-In Sheet gives you a spot to revisit your goals and then decide whether you need to keep working towards it or revise it as you move forward through the year.
Managing Money Together: I created this workbook to help couples manage their money together. Talking about money can be hard, but this workbook walks you through fun, low-pressure exercises to get the conversation started.
20 (Financial) Questions for Road Trips and Date Nights: If you’re heading out on a road trip or settling in for date night with your partner, grab these questions that you can ask each other and get to know more about each other’s relationship with money. You might be surprised what you learn!
Savings Account Management Form: I’ve used this spreadsheet for years to keep track of our sinking funds and savings account.
Morse Code Prints: This is random, but a few years ago, I created some morse code prints and put them on Ebay. They’re really cute!
