    What is hp instant ink and is hp Instant Ink worth it? (including 7 months of free printing!)

    I’m probably late to the party but I just discovered small business subscriptions for ink with the HP ink program and it’s a total game changer for working from home or your small business office!

    If you’re just here for the HP Instant Ink free months code, click here or use dbbg1g.

    Remember the old days of printing? Never fully understanding which cartridges to buy, or where to recycle. Running low on ink when you really needed to print something and more horror experiences than I can remember.

    I used to only have a professional black and white Brother printer that’s great for business admin, but as a creative business it’s a total game changer to now also own a HP color printer with unlimited (read: 300 copies a month) pages to print. And that’s a lot! But it’s only costing me less than $12 a month! Hello Instant Ink Program!

    What is a HP Instant Ink subscription?

    With an Instant Ink Subscription you get new ink cartridges in the mail without the hussle. It knows two main differences from other printers:

    Part 1: never out of ink

    Your printer is via wifi connected with HP, and it notifies them when you’re almost out of ink and they send you new ink.

    Part 2: pay for what you print

    You get a subscription for ‘x’ amount of pages per month, and you get to print those pages without any extra costs. If you don’t reach your limit, you get to take the rest of the pages to next month.

    Get started with HP Instant Ink

    Watch the video:

    Original HP Ink ordered by your printer, delivered to your door.

    Instant Ink is HP’s ink delivery service. Your HP Printer automatically orders ink, and cartridges. The HP Instant Ink delivery service can save you up to 50% on ink. They are delivered to your door before you run low and you get to recycle your old ones, just add them to the box your new ones got delivered with and mail them back to HP.

    Monthly plans

    See how you can save time and up to 50% on ink that’s ordered by your printer and delivered to your door before you run out.

    Is HP Instant Ink Worth it?

    Yes! As a small business owner, blogger and all around creative I enjoy printing colourful pages so much. To print my own products and planners, to create vision boards and more. I got the 300 a month plan, and to be honest… that’s a lot. I was really happy with my free months of printing as well and to never go to the store to buy the (wrong) cartridges and all those things. I really enjoy the wireless part of the printer too. I hated those wires that came with my old printer and the fact that I always had to be close to the printer with my computer to be able to print. Now I just print from my mobile or laptop and it’s so easy!

    But keep in mind when choosing a HP Instant Ink plan that printing is not good for the environment and that you still have to get the paper. And those packages come often in 500 pages, so that would mean about one pack every month. Also, as a (wannabe) minimalist I’m not a big fan of paper everywhere, so I only print what I need to and try to use the paper twice if it’s just a draft.

    Trust me, start with a smaller plan

    So I suggest you start with one of the lower plans to see how you like it. How often you really need to print. I know how tempting it is to print every recipe you come across now and every beautiful motivational quote of image you find on Pinterest, and allll the planners you use but is it really necessary or will you print it just because you can ‘for free’?

    20 highest paying influencer agencies to join as a micro influencer

    This post is an updated version of my post with 50+ blogging networks to join, as the market is always changing and there are SO many influencer agencies now.

    I have listed the top 20 agencies that have landed me or people that I know big bucks.  I think the correct term now is something like ‘influencer agency’ and not ‘blogging network’.

    You can make big money with sponsored content, ugc creation and company collaborations. Your personal brand is worth a lot.

    But what if companies don’t approach you?

    You can approach them.

    But as a blogger with a small audience, it’s more likely they will sell you a ‘no, not yet’ than a ‘yes, great let’s go’ But there are other options, you just have to know where the brands are that are actively looking to work with bloggers!

    Share What You Know Teachable Summit.

    Well, 2020/2021 has been pretty crazy. I probably don’t have to say anything else. We’re all in this together. If you’re interested in staying updated on The 2023 Teachable Summit and free tickets and bonuses sign up here: 

    But if you’re anything like me, you wanted to utilize the quarantine and come out of it as an all-new you. You’d work out, build a (side) business, keep up with industry trends, and teach yourself an all-new skill set.

    Well, I didn’t. I was overwhelmed, to say the least. I went on with my usual routine, but didn’t overdo anything else except low-key freakout on a daily basis.

    (Oh, btw I DID start a new business, but more on that later)

    And now it’s September – which is usually my most productive month of the year, and it’s time to go back to normal as much as possible. I’ve had over 6 months to adjust to this whole COVID-19 situation. It’s time to get dressed and focus on growth – personally & in business.

    With more people at home than ever before, online learning has gone mainstream—and it’s incredible to witness. Online courses have changed my business and my life, giving me more freedom to do (and teach!) what I love.

    Have you ever considered offering online courses or coaching?

    Since 2015, more than 100,000 creators have sold over $500 million in courses and coaching on Teachable. But half of that—$250 million—was in the last year. I wasn’t lying when I said we’re going mainstream.

    If you’ve ever thought about turning your expertise into online courses or coaching, now is the time to do it.

    And here’s a great way to learn how: Teachable’s Share What You Know summit.

    Read all about last year’s Summit (With Gary Vee!) here:

    This LIVE 3-day virtual event, hosted by top Teachable creators and guest experts, will cover every aspect of building an online knowledge business.

    Throughout more than 25 hours of LIVE presentations, demos, workshops, and discussions, you’ll learn best practices for:

    • Creating your course/coaching content
    • Building and branding your site
    • Growing your email list
    • Driving sales
    • Diversifying and scaling your offerings
    • Overcoming self-doubt and “imposter syndrome”

    And because it’s interactive, you can ask many of our experts about anything else you want to know.

    This event is for you if…

    • You’ve enough of the whole COVID-19 overwhelm and are ready to focus back on your own business or side-biz goals and meet new inspiring people.
    • You’d like to turn your hard-earned knowledge into an income stream
    • You’ve ever wondered if you have the skills to teach an online course
