OMG I'm 40! Tell Me HBD and Get a Coupon for a $1 Shopping Spree at Sarandipity's + Free Bundles to Get

🎂 Holy Cow, I'm 40! 🎉 Help me celebrate and get a sweet little treat from Sarandipity's!
Now through Sunday, July 20, if you hit reply and say "Happy Birthday!", I’ll send you a coupon for a $1 shopping spree — every single product in my store will be just $1 each for you! 🎁
OR go big and snag everything you want with a $40 All-Access Pass — because I’m turning 40, and why not go all in?! 😄
✨ No codes to remember. Just birthday vibes, bargains, and a whole lot of digital goodies.
Now that we're mid-way through July, it feels like the end of the year is a few hours away. My inbox is full of Back-to-school, Halloween, and Christmas promotions already.
As a digital product seller, you have to think several months ahead if you want to maximize your efforts. I've got a ton of summer products I haven't even gotten listed in my shop.
Now I have to shift gears and put those into my ever-growing inventory and focus on getting ready for all the busy months of the final half of the season.
Have you started adding seasonal stock to your store? Several awesome events are happening right now where you can score some fantastic seasonal products for personal and business use. Check out these offers below and grab your free (and reduced) tickets.
Did you know that if you ever buy a paid product using one of my affiliate links, you can exchange proof of purchase for an item in my shop of the same value?
As an example, if you grab the $9 upgraded ticket for Faith's Grow Together Giveaway (I did and it's so worth the minimal price for the huge value) using my link, you can head to Sarandipity's shop and request any product for $9 as a gift.
Being a contributor to bundles is just one way I've been trying to grow my brand. If you've stopped by my blog, you'll know I'm also big on promoting book authors through interviews, guest blogging, and giveaways.
Being a tour host allows me to collect links from other collaborators, which can help a new website like mine improve its DA. Have you checked out my site lately? I've finally got my freebies page problems fixed, and I'm still tweaking my design and navigation.
Thanks to the subscribers who have given me feedback on the new look and use. I'll be sending out the free thank you gift you have requested this week, so be on the lookout. It's not too late to get your gift of choice simply by responding to this email or sending me a message on my contact page or social with your honest thoughts on all things with my brand.
I'm also attempting to host a contest for my blog to reward the subscriber who does the most interactions with me. Users amass points during the whole month by commenting on my blog posts, interacting with me on social, sharing my posts, and being a subscriber to my email list, blog, and/or Substack (I also have a Medium page just for kicks).
I'll be doing my email a bit differently in the hopes that I'll get more interactions and clicks. My emails will no longer include a massive roundup of links and offers. I'll promote all of these inside of my social accounts. Be sure you're part of my FB group and following my FB and Instagram accounts to get free events and goodies.
Starting this week, I'll be returning to my original email format of giving 5 Frugal Freelancer tips. Got a topic you'd like me to cover? Respond to this email with your needs.
Schedule a Seasonal Planning Sprint
🗓️ Instead of feeling behind, block off just one hour this week to brain-dump and calendar your seasonal content — fall, Halloween, even early Christmas prep. A short planning sprint now saves you weeks of panic later.
👉 Frugal Move: Use free Trello boards or Google Sheets to organize your seasonal ideas and deadlines.
List First, Perfect Later
🛒 Still haven’t listed your summer products? Add them as-is with quick mockups or minimal descriptions — perfection is the enemy of progress.
👉 Frugal Move: Use free Canva mockup templates or repurpose product photos across your listings to save time. I have a private guide to creating Canva mockups. Respond to this email and request your free copy.
Promote What You’ve Already Paid For 💌
If you’ve contributed to a bundle, guest-posted, or joined a giveaway — reshare those links! You have already invested time or money, so make them work harder. Need extra opportunities to grow your presence? Ask about my collab opportunities.
👉 Frugal Move: Use your own affiliate link and get double value: brand exposure + potential commissions.
Maximize Free Traffic Channels 📣
Before you drop $$ on ads, make sure you’re squeezing all the juice out of free promo spots — blog posts, Pinterest pins, FB group shares, and your email footer.
👉 Frugal Move:Reuse one piece of content across 3-5 platforms to multiply reach without extra effort. Did you know I offer one free monthly promo to my subscribers? All you have to do is send me your pitch, including a brief bio, product description, links, and photos. Got an affiliate program you want to fill? Ask how I can help!
Swap Your Spend With Smart Collabs
🤝 Want a new product, but don’t want to spend? Buy through affiliate events (like Faith’s Grow Together Giveaway) and redeem a freebie from my shop of equal value!
👉 Frugal Move: Always ask — “Can this purchase work double-duty for my business?” (Hint: With me, it usually can!)
Faith's Grow Together Giveaway
I’ve got something amazing to share with you… and it’s 100% FREE.
My friend, Faith Lee, is hosting the Grow Together Giveaway — a limited-time event where you’ll get access to over 90 practical digital resources from generous business owners, digital content creators, and educators.
Inside, you’ll find:
Printable planners & journals
Courses & templates to boost your business
Kids’ activities & home organization tools
And so much more!
This giveaway is designed to help you grow your life and business—without the hustle or overwhelm.
But don’t wait—these gifts won’t be around for long.
Thinking “natural health” has to mean complicated tinctures, endless Googling, or spending half my paycheck at the supplement store.
The Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle brings us back to the basics — and gives you simple, proven natural remedies you can start using right away.
Inside, you’ll find things like:
🌿 A Mom’s Guide to Cold & Flu Season (aka how not to panic when the sniffles hit) 🍞 A homemade bread guide — because food can be medicine 🍋 A 7-day Ditch the Toxins challenge that’s surprisingly doable 🌱 An herbal healing course that’s packed with wisdom from generations before us
These aren’t just trendy — they’re tried and true. And they work.

Hi Reader, Ever wonder if you're doing the right thing? Like maybe you should give up on your dreams and get something stable... even if it means sacrificing your sanity and freedom?
