My favourite courses and memberships

I love to learn new things, and these are some of the courses I've taken to learn stuff to expand my business in new directions. Some things I've already implemented, while other things I'm currently working on (like personalizing pre-made bought templates, to sell my first digital journals/planners!)

Please note that this page contains affiliate links. This means that if you purchase something, I may make a commission, without any extra expenses to you! I've personally bought and enjoyed all these courses and memberships and would never recommend something I wasn't happy about!

Work from home
Are you bilingual like me? Translation has been my bread and butter since 2020, allowing me to work from home while building my creative business.

You probably didn't know that you can get translation jobs from professional translation agencies without a translation degree? Or that you translate from your first to your second language, not vice versa! As a native Norwegian, I translate from English into Norwegian :) I've learned everything I know about translation from Inger Lise, and right now, she offers this amazing training, which is free.
