A LITTLE OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY BUSINESS AND LIFE:
What to write? That is the question. I have no idea what to write to you, %contact.first_name%, today. What would you like to hear about? I would love to hear from you. Please reply to this email to let me know. Are you into Printables or Digital Planners or both? Is there a specific subject you would like to hear about?
Hi, %contact.first_name%, I bet you were wondering how I was a bad girl today, huh? Well, I played before doing my newsletter.
I finished off all of my emails and then worked on a project for the Daily Faith Spring Giveaway that is coming up the beginning of April. I know that sounds like a long ways away but I need to have my product created, listed and the opt-in page up and running so that I can register for the bundle. I need to have the registration form in by March 25th. That is only a week away.
My first problem was coming up with what faith based product I wanted to create. It needed to be worth at least $17 and a PLR, some type of training or a training resource. Oh, my, what do I do? I had all kinds of thought running through my brain. But, finally settled on one type product. It is almost done now. All I need to do is figure out what type of background I want on it. Then comes the rest of the process. It is not really hard, just time consuming. Of course, I have a system set up to do them now. It wasn’t so when I first started out. I was so scatterbrained and couldn’t figure out what to do. Then I took the course by Beautiful Journals and Planners (see below) and boy, I felt a lot more at ease joining a bundle. I won’t say that at this point I was confident as I was still very nervous about the process. It was a trial and error only part making sure that all the pieces fit together.
I will finish this newsletter than I will get back to work on my bundle. Why am I so persistent? Because I have 3 bundles in April, 3 bundles in May and 1 in June (so far) that I want to join. There are also 2 more that are ASAP to join. That is not including the products that I need to list in my store so that you can have a look at them to see if you are interested. I also want to create new products. There is no rest for the wicked. LOL Somewhere in there, I want to create a mini-course on how to join a bundle using Birdsend and Payhip. I have a couple of other mini-courses that I want to create also. Good thing I keep notes. LOL
Well, on with the rest of the newsletter or this won’t get done. Hope ya’ll are having a wonderful day out there.

ONGOING SALES
If you are looking to start contributing to bundle, giveaways, and events look for the newly updated workshop taught by Christina of Beautiful Journals and Planners just released How to contribute contribute to bundles, giveaways, and events. Youwill receive a folder with the three‐day live workshop videos and a video walking them through Birdsend. Along with an updated ebook/workbook. Use coupon code rockstar10off to get this course at $37. The coupon code is good until March 20.
I took this course and learned a lot. I kept waiting for it to be given again to help others and it is finally here. If you missed it the first time, here is your chance to start building your email list and build your income. Also, if you were in the class with me, we are grandfathered into the new one.
If you purchase through my link, I will be offering a bonus class on how to join a bundle using Birdsend and Payhip. But, beware. If you are doing a bundle with PLR, you need to keep it listed as you are not allowed to sell PLR on Payhip. There is always a chance that your account will be closed for selling PLR. I did it this way and was able to get through the bundle and the download period with no problems but only because I kept it unlisted. Only the people who had the link could get to the product. Not sure at this point if I will be selling the class later.

Check out the free gifts from Creative Fabrica every day. You might be surprised at what may pop up.
If you are into t-shirt designs, you will find quite a few of them in the free section of Creative Fabrica. Remember to change them so that yours will be different. You don’t want yours looking like everyone else’s design. You will also find craft patterns on there if that is your niche.
There are more seamless patterns and graphics available on Creative Fabrica for free. Just search for Easter Freebie, Mother’s Day Freebie, Father’s Day Freebie, etc. and you will get all of them. If you want something else, just type in the search term with Freebie and you will see what is available for free without a subscription.
I have a subscription to Creative Fabrica and can download as many of the graphics on their site free. I get an idea, I run to Creative Fabrica to see if I can find graphics to make my new creations. It is so great. You might want to get a subscription if you need lots of graphics.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW
What are you working on? Above, you will find some freebies that you can use to create your products. There are seamless patterns for you to use as covers for your products. Remember, always modify the images so that they are different from what someone else might create with the same pattern. Make your cover stand out and let people know you are different.
Mix and match the coloring pages, color by number, dot to dot, and word search to create your own coloring book. Add something to them to make them your own so you won’t be creating the same coloring book as everyone else.
Create a mug or greeting cards to put in your store. You might create these to give to special people in your life. See below in MISCELLANEOUS to find the links to the templates for you.
I want you to keep on working and growing your business. Let me know your accomplishments and what you are working on.
If you need to talk or get some help of some sort, I am here and will help you in any way that I can. If it is something I don’t know yet, I will refer you to someone I know who does have that information. We are all here to help each other to achieve success.
Hope you are having a wonderful, productive day. Get lots of products created or training done.
