Hiya 🌊,

I’m on my ‘holidays’ as much as you ever can be when you are self-employed. I’m on a co-working camping retreat in the middle of France.

Fully-catered, wifi, 3-hour childcare a day in South West France, run by my online business friend Gemma from Rêve Retreat (highly recommend, go check it out and tell her I sent you).

If you have not tried a guest opinion pitch yet, today’s post is for you to refer to as you write yours.

I wanted to share a few of the successful pitches from our members who landed paid commissions to help inspire you and show you the format.

Back in May, Jess Austin, Opinion Editor of The Metro, came and did a live with us.
