If you get a totally free hour this weekend, what are you choosing? For me a definitely need proper rest (duvet day, films and snacks) But will have to do the mum thing and tidy the house first If your feeling both mentally drained and physically tired don’t hold back let us know we can give each other a virtual hug.🤗

I’ve just seen this online and had to share it. This comes from official Etsy news. If you remember, just before Christmas at the end of Q3, Etsy announced they were teaming up with OpenAI to allow people to shop directly through ChatGPT. That’s still happening, but they’re now also teaming up with Copilot to do something similar. I’ve linked the document, along with a helpful discussion I created using NotebookLM. I genuinely love these kinds of conversations 🤍 Honestly, this makes me feel like we’re in a really good place with Etsy, especially for digital products, as they move towards this kind of buying model. It also feels very true to how we’re already starting to shop. At Christmas, this is exactly how I did my initial research for a laptop for Luke. I used very specific requirements and let AI narrow things down for me. So it makes sense that this will extend to everything else too. I’m curious what you think 🤔 Do you see this as a good thing or a bad thing for Etsy sellers, both digital and physical? And what do you think this means for the high street and small businesses more broadly? I’d love to hear your thoughts 🧐

I am just playing around in NotebookLM it’s a digital note book with ai features. I have literally just downloaded it. So have no idea what I am doing but look at this I created absolutely love it. 🥰 What do you ladies think does it reflect us well? For our about page maybe!

Hi ladies I have a massive favour to ask of you. 🙏🙏🙏 Please can you sign up as an email subscriber? I promise I will not be in you email every week. To be honest the only email I have sent out is the free 50 digital products. But really would like to get everyone on it because it would be better to communicate up and coming events so that we are all better prepared. Also if anything went wrong with the platform 🤞I can still get in touch. Here is the link 🔗
