🀫 The secret behind getting my course done + an avalanche of good things ending tonight


Hi Reader,
​
We've been living in a snow globe over the last couple of days which is magical if you have the luxury of snuggling somewhere cozy without a care in the world, or a nightmare if you're needing to shovel or venture anywhere.
​
I don't think we've seen this much snow in years, which is somewhat amusing now that our SUV has given up the ghost and we're left with my little sports coupe which isn't great in winter weather. Right now my husband and son are outside in a snowstorm, trying to knock down the couple of feet that were dropped since yesterday.
​
I saw my neighbour with his boys hard at work and asked my 14 year old to go see if his dad needed help with shoveling. I told him his dad probably wouldn't take him up on it, but that didn't turn out to be the case. Oh well. Shoveling builds muscles and character, right? Thankfully, my son doesn't hold grudges and in no way thinks I tricked him. 🀣
​
In other news, Valentine's Day may have came and went but my stunning Dual Hearts Illustrative Paper Pack is still available for not much longer. This is a pack of "white" and "dark" hearts which are seriously useful for so many different themes.

You'll receive a pack of two gorgeous sets (20 pieces each) that you can grab for the price of just $9 total! (Reg $47.)
​
The "white hearts" set is perfect for weddings, birthdays, baby showers, bridal events, as well as just for general projects such as gift wrapping, scrapbooking, notes, journals, while the "dark hearts" set is perfect for Halloween, goth, Reverse Valentine's Day, and pretty much anything with an edgy vibe. And yes, these sets come with a commercial license!
​
This sale will be gone when my next newsletter hits your inbox so pick this one up while you can. πŸ–€πŸ€πŸ’

​ENDS SOON: CREATE SALES PAGES FOR FREE ​
​
If you haven't had a chance to check it out, my brand new course, Pages Palooza, is only available on pre-sale for a little while longer at the lowest price it will ever be offered.
​
I've been tinkering with the sales page and added a countdown timer. (The end date I'm still tinkering with.) πŸ˜†
​
In my first two years of launching my business, I'm guessing that I participated in over 40 bundles. The idea for this course came about after wanting people to be able to check out some of my other products after signing up for a freebie rather than the sterile "thank you" message. This wasn't possible unless you were to create it on your website, or use expensive software like LeadPages, Kajabi etc.
​
After much experimentation, I found a completely unique way to do this inside Kit (formerly ConvertKit) with a free account which I haven't seen done anywhere else.

I've also expanded on my initial concept which was about tripwires and will be including how to create sales pages for free as well as how to create more stylized sales pages or tripwires via a template which you'll be able to customize.
​
I'm also including some customizable templates in Canva which you can pop onto your pages to make instant tripwires.
​
In fact, the sales page for Pages Palooza was created using a template that I'll be teaching you how to customize. If you go to the checkout page, it will redirect to a shopping cart in Thrivecart, but in the course, I'm adding a bonus lesson where I'll show you how to use a free shopping cart so there's absolutely no cost if you want to start participating in bundles and events and making sales right away.
​
If you purchased BC Stack from me, you should have received an email from Thrivecart with your login information a couple of days ago (Feb 13th.) If you haven't received anything, please check your junk mail, and drop me a line if you didn't receive anything.
​
Also, if you're interested in becoming an affiliate, click here and I'll drop you an email when my affiliate program is ready. (Please note: clicking this link won't take you anywhere. It just notes your interest with an internal tag so I can write you when my affiliate program goes live.)
​
Make sure you grab the course while it's in pre-launch as this will be the lowest price it will ever be offered. I've seen some fugly templates out there which cost hundreds of dollars so this is a fantastic deal to learn how to create templates you can customize in minutes. πŸ’

LAST DAY: PARTY WITH LIZ!

Jan Small has extended her launch of her very cool A.I. Prompt Generator which is available for the sweet price of $9.

This fun, yet highly-effective tool takes the slog out of putting detailed prompts together. It's based on Google Sheets which everyone with a free Google account has access to. The tool will help you produce gorgeous and highly original artwork from your favorite AI art generator.

It even helps with those pesky Midjourney parameters that are so easy to get wrong (or forget altogether!)

Add your subject, select all the details you'd like to include from the dropdowns (leaving other fields empty) and you have the perfect prompt in an instant.

The sheet is pre-populated with artwork options for the dropdown fields on an Input Data sheet but there's plenty of space to add your own ideas too. Instructions booklet included

The images that customers create with the prompts can be used in any products (including templates and PLR products for sale - MRR rights) but the generator tool itself (and the data in it) is for personal use only.

There's also a bump offer for $5 on the checkout page for a report with common AI image generation mistakes and how to fix them and how to prompt for four types of images to get the best results.

Once customers check out, they'll see an upsell offer for an AI Photo Prompt generator.

This has all the extra detailed fields for professional level photographs including lens, camera, film, composition, depth of field, special effects etc. that they need to create the very best photos.

The AI Photo Prompt generator is just $12 in the upsell offer (regular price $37)

It has all the pro-level photo setting suggestions they need to get started on the right path, an instruction booklet, and a photographic image tips sheet.

Right now, you can pick the AI generator up for $9 (reg. $27) with coupon code ARTPROMPT until February 17th at midnight PST.
