Hey Reader,

It's been over a month since I emailed you. I promise, I have a good reason.

I've been busy behind the scenes, working on something really exciting. And I'm finally ready to show it to you.

Drum roll please... 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

I am officially a co-host of the

​FLX: Freelance Success Community! 🥳🙌🎉🥳

This has been a long time coming. For some time now, I've been looking for a home for the "Freelance Mentorship" side of my business. Somewhere I could host all of my best tips, advice, tools, and template for freelancers.

I found the perfect home in FLX: Freelance Success. It's one of the longest-running communities for freelancers around, and they were looking for a new host at just the right time. We joined forces in January this year, and since then, I've been busy giving the space a bit of that Liam-style makeover. 💅

What happens at FLX?

I've been working hard with my co-host, Julie Sturgeon, to make FLX the top destination for freelancers in the modern age. Inside FLX, you'll be greeted with a curated community of forums, chat rooms, courses, and resources all designed for freelancers, by freelancers.

There are two sides to the community:

1. The FLX Freelance Advice Newsletter (from yours truly)

This is where you'll get access to some of my best freelance advice and tools, plus my semi-weekly newsletter for freelancers with fresh updates and tips. It's exactly the type of freelancing advice and guidance I've been sending you here at Inkwell, just a lot more of it.

In fact, I've already ~upgraded and migrated~ my favorite advice and tools for freelancers into an all-new welcome pack to kick things off. It includes a free mini-course on pricing, a chapter of my lead generation guide, tools and templates you haven't seen before, and a whole lot more.

That's where I recommend you begin:

2. The Full FLX Community

The full FLX: Freelance Success Community is where the real good stuff is. This is where I have uploaded all of my premium content, and where there's already a flourishing network of freelancers working together to grow their businesses.

When you join FLX, you get:

🔏 A private social network where you can ask real, honest questions and get answers from freelance pros (including me --- I comment on pretty much everything that gets posted)

📚 A library of my best content, plus content I've hand-picked from other freelance experts, curated into channels centered around the things that matter most to freelancers. We are uploading more every week.

🔎 A job board where we post a curated list of freelance gigs every Friday.

🗣️ A live forum and chat room where I'm hanging out every day, with other top freelance mentors, coaches, and experts, answering questions, sharing our insights and experiments, and frequently just shooting the shit.

This isn't just me sharing my own knowledge, either. FLX has been around for decades, and our library of content goes back quite a ways.

In just the last few months, we've had talks from freelance legends like Austin L. Church, Ilse Benun, Lizzie Davey, Felicity Wilde, and more coming every month.

We just wrapped up our quarterly event, a 6-week guided group marathon to generate more business off LinkedIn. (It was so successful I'm now turning it into a permanent course.)

There's a lot more I could say about it, but most of it is explained on JoinFreelanceSuccess.com or through the Welcome Package.

What's the cost of full membership?

​FLX Membership costs $24.99 a month, or you can get a discount at $249 for the year. But...

👆 Full transparency, we're keeping these prices only for a few more weeks. Then we will be raising them to be closer in line with other communities out there.

If you lock in that price now, it's yours forever. It also gets you another perk: $100 off 1:1 mentorship packages with yours truly. That discount also lasts forever. 💞

I've poured a lot of time, love, and even some literal tears into this, and I really hope you come see what it's all about.

P.S. One more brutally honest thing: If you are only subscribed to this newsletter for my freelance advice, then you should go sign up to the FLX newsletter, then come back here and hit unsubscribe.

I know, it's wild to ask you to unsubscribe. And you shouldn't, if you enjoy my nerdy hot takes on the search industry. (I'm releasing some piping hot tea on that front soon, too.🫖)

But from here on out, I'll only be using this newsletter to talk about content marketing, search, SEO, and all that good stuff. If that's not your thing, then I don't want to bore you. We can hang out in FLX, and I'll make peace with the little dip in my subscriber count knowing I won't be sending you stuff you don't want to read.

P.P.S. Are you into creative writing? Come check out my author website, LiamCarnahan.com, where I run yet another newsletter all about the process of writing and publishing books!
