Hi Reader,
​
Happy Friday!
​
I'm about to head into the weekend in full celebration mode to cap off the celebration of the Lunar New Year which officially ends on March 3rd.
​
Buckle up, as the Year of the Horse is supposed to be a wild one. Especially since it's the year of the Fire Horse which happens every 60 years. 🔥

This year symbolizes rapid change, passion, independence, and bold action, often disrupting the status quo to make way for new beginnings.
​
And if the Fire Horse energy is anything to go by, it’s less about playing it safe and more about moving with intention. Choosing momentum over hesitation, and direction over noise.
​
Even though the Year of the Fire Horse gets a bad rap (war, rebellion, a time of reckoning) it actually isn’t about chaos. It's about decisive movement, creative energy, and trusting your gut, even when things shift quickly.
​
In other words: less rambling. More deliberate action. Not frantic, but focused energy. The kind that helps you follow through on the ideas that have been sitting on the back burner so you can take action.
​
I don't know about you, but I need an injection of deliberate action this year. If you can relate, I hope the offers I rounded up for you will help to accomplish those goals. 💘

​

ENDS TONIGHT: PUZZLE SOFTWARE
​
​If you're ready to gallop into the Year of the Horse with fiery ambition, my good friend Ike Paz unveiled a brand new product this week called Manaka Royalty with his partner Luke Bowes. And there's only a few hours left to pick up this red hot seller at launch price.
​
Manaka Royalty is a cloud-based, AI-driven software software suite designed for creators that automates the creation of high-demand puzzle and activity books for Amazon KDP. It gives you a six puzzle tools (and 3 bonus puzzle software products) to create cool, in-demand puzzles such as Crossword, Word Search, Sudoku, Maze, Cryptogram, including the super hot Kakuro niche.
​
If you've been looking for a simple way to create publishable puzzle pages without the manual grind to help build passive publishing revenue, Manaka Royalty gives you core puzzle types, manual customization, and PNG + PDF exports so you can move from idea to finished pages quickly without fancy software.
​
Manaka Royalty is built for:

• Core puzzle types
• Manual customization
• Exporting PNG/PDF that’s actually usable

You can pick this up at the super affordable price of $27. After tonight, (2/27) the price jumps to $77.
​
Pro tip: If you're interested in creating creating custom characters for a richer experience for customers, make sure you check out the "Elite Kai" option which ties your activity, coloring book, and puzzle pages to create a game-changing, cohesive, themed storyline.
​
Don't forget, the launch ends tonight (February 27th) at midnight EST.

✨BONUS - If you purchase Manaka Royalty using my link (make sure you see my name "laramai" at the bottom of the checkout page where it says powered by Warrior Plus when you hover over the little person icon. See image below.) You'll receive $27 back in Lara Loot making your product free. If you opt for any of the upsells, get 30% back of your purchase in Lara Loot.

NEW: CREATE SALES PAGES THAT SELL

Next week, Naima, one of my all-time favorite biz peeps, is back with her seventh round of Pages That Sell which I'm super excited about! As soon as she sent out that email with those details, I hit that button lightning fast. 😆
​
If you've been with me for awhile, you know I'm not super techie. In fact, one of my greatest challenges is creating sales pages. I have so many ideas just bursting to get out - not to mention products I've created that are still sitting on my hard drive, unreleased. That's because sales pages are anathema to me.
​
There's so many facets to a good sales page, not to mention, where does this section go? What should be said in this spot? How do I know I'm optimizing my copy?
​
Honestly, it's a LOT. Especially when you're trying to do it alone, in a vacuum. And if you've ever asked ChatGPT to weigh in, you know the process can drop you far into a rabbit hole of decisions that are hard to dig yourself out from.
​
But Naima has the solution for that, and she's sharing in her brand new, AI-enhanced round. And she's also giving you access to six GPTs that ask you shrewd questions to help you create customizable copy which ends up sounding just like you.
​
Plus, she's also including prompts and sales page templates to get you building even faster and create a repeatable method that you can come back to, again and again.
​
The 2026 version of Pages That Sell, now in its seventh round is perfect for you if:

• you're sitting on a product, but dread writing the sales page
• you struggle through the myriad of tiny decisions you have to make
• you're ok on copy, but building the thing has you reaching for Advil
• you have both copy and a built-out page, but it's kinda ... sad

Unlike previous versions of Pages That Sell, there's nothing live (except the support Q&A calls). Everything is already recorded, edited and ready for use. You'll receive:

• Anatomy of a Sales Page training
• Full case study walkthrough (me writing, editing, building a real page using the system)
• 6 custom GPTs that write the page section by section
• Copy refinement process to strip AI patterns and add their voice back in
• Design and Build It (DIY principles, AI build walkthrough + prompts)
• 6 ready-to-use sales page templates
• Step by step installing the page in Wordpress, Thrivecart and FG Funnels/High Level
• Private Podcast Feed

You'll also get access to the 2-week pop-up implementation group (already open), custom sales page review and feedback (priceless!), and four live Q&A calls + replays (two time slots, time zones covered) so you can get support and feedback. Plus, you'll get your completed page (build with PTS) promoted to Naima's list. (Huge!)​
​​
Join me inside the Pages That Sell implementation run for $97 and get immediate access to everything so you can start building right away!

✨ BONUS - If you purchase Naima program using my link, (make sure you see my name laramai at the bottom right on the checkout page under affiliate) receive a store credit worth $47 with no expiry to use on anything in my store or in my emails.

ENDS SOON: 34 FREE BIZ TOOLS​
​
Heads up! You only have until Sunday (March 1st) to pick up the Not Just PLR bundle, a specially curated bundle which contains over $790 worth of amazing biz tools at zero cost.

My contribution to this bundle is the "Dandelion Digital Paper Pack." This 40 piece illustrative collection is one of my old-school paper packs so I would jump on this one while it's still available.
​
If you choose the Premium Bundle for $37, you'll unlock 34 additional business resources focused on strategy, customization, and implementation with total value of $2200.

In the premium bundle, you'll find my course, The Pixel Playbook. My step-by-step framework for using AI image tools safely and ethically. It walks you through how to create original, copyright-safe visuals in your own style without copying artists or relying on shady prompt tricks.
​
During this bundle, I’m also rolling out two brand new products at the lowest price I'll ever offer them.

The Illustrative Selfie Lookbook is for anyone curious about AI selfies but not fully comfortable using hyper-realistic images that may feel off-brand or potentially misrepresentative.

Instead of chasing the uncanny valley, this workbook focuses on illustrative, stylized portraits that are clearly artistic illustrations. Not literal images. You’ll get 40 curated styles and structured prompts to create expressive, on-brand AI portraits that capture your essence in a range of fun, artistic styles.
​
Regularly $37, you can grab this for $9 during Faith's bundle.
​

I've also created, The Anti-Word Planner which flips the traditional “Word of the Year” idea on its head.
​
Instead of picking one polished word when the calendar rolls over to January 1st and forcing that to stick all year, you can choose a word whenever you actually need one. For the year, the month, the week, or even the day.
​
No forced themes. No calendar pressure. Just intentional direction on your own terms. Regularly $37, you can pick this up for just $12 during the bundle.
​
As a special bonus, both of my products come with additional goodies if you decide to purchase the VIP upgrade using my link, so make sure you check out those details below.
​
You'll also get extended bundle access to April 12th for the free and paid tier when upgrading.
​​
​In addition, you will also get access to:

• An exclusive pop-up Facebook group from March 2 - 15 where Faith will be offering you direct guidance and support as you complete product creation and product listing challenges and receive REWARDS!
• Co-working sessions hosted by Faith's Featured Contributors where you can also ask them questions and also work alongside them for an hour each
• 3 exclusive PLR customization tutorials (value $51) created by Faith to help you use the PLR resources inside our Not Just PLR Bundle to quickly add new and unique products to your shop.

The Not Just PLR bundle bundle is only open until March 1st so make sure you download everything you're interested in while you can. And don't forget both of my new products are at their lowest price as well.

✨ BONUS 1: If you sign up for the premium bundle, you'll receive a $37 shop credit to use anytime in my store with no expiry, making your purchase free.​
​​
✨ BONUS 2: If you grab the Illustrative Selfie Lookbook, I’ll include a super cool Punk Chibi clip art set. (Minimum 12 but could be more.)

✨ BONUS 3: If you pick up the Anti-Word Planner, I’ll add an additional 12-piece collection of super cute Punk Chibi Girls. Both sets come as individual transparent PNG files.
​
I'll have both those sets uploaded to Thrivecart dashboard next week after the close of this bundle. (After March 1st)

NEW: CREATE YOUR SHOP FOR A ONE-TIME PRICE​
​
Are you interested in creating a hub for your products but you're not interested in trying to master Divi, Amember, Shopify, etc?
​
Check out Shareables that's currently available on AppSumo as a lifetime deal.
​
Shareables lets you turn your Google Sheets, Airtable, or Notion into a real website—without any coding.
​
This is the perfect software to use to host products, courses, or your very own bundle!

Honestly, I had been looking for a lifetime deal on something like this for YEARS. Well, because I'm stubborn, I was finally able to get a lifetime license to Spreadsimple a couple of years ago and I couldn't be happier with this software.
​
It's perfect for someone that's not super tech savvy. All you do is input simple information, name, price, link (and whatever information you want) in a table (I use Google sheets) which instantly will turn that into a beautiful website.
​
You can see the storefront and affiliate page that I built using Spreadsimple which seriously took me a couple of hours to create. This is the same idea behind Shareables.
​
If you're not interested in footing the monthly cost for Spreadsimple, you should definitely check out Shareables while it's available.

NEW: LIVE ROUND - GET YOUR AFFILIATE PROGRAM DONE​
​
This weekend, Dama Jue is raising the price on one of her most popular trainings, Pay Your Pals. It's literally helped hundreds of people create their affiliate program in Thrivecart and get it RIGHT.

So if setting up your affiliate program is on your 'eventually' to-do list, now's the time, because in addition to the tech tutorials and workbook, she's also hosting a LIVE round next week with two Implementation Sessions AND a Voxer Office Hours bonus.

This is the last time you'll ever be able to join at this price point AND get three support opportunities, as well. Not just to ask tech questions but also to talk AFFILIATE STRATEGY, which is something people always want to pick her brain about. (Super awesome bonus!)
​
And if tech just isn't your thing, she's also offering a super affordable done-for-you option which gives you access to the full program AND set up.
​
The price goes up permanently on March 1st to $297. Make sure you join before the price jumps and get your bonuses of two live implementation sessions + Voxer support.

✨ BONUS - Purchase Dama's course and receive 40% back in Lara Loot.

NEW: MARKET READY
​
​Katherine has released a brand new kit in her Limitless Design Kits Monthly Membership.
​
Step back in time with her Vintage Market Day Kit. Inspired by the charm of old-fashioned markets and simple, well-loved goods, this kit captures the warmth of slower days, nostalgic details, and the joy of discovering little treasures. Perfect for creating cozy, story-filled designs that are timeless and full of character.
​
With all the latest concerns over copyright, usage rights, and outsourcing art from questionable sources, a few members have asked if she makes the graphics in her kits. The answer is YES, she personally illustrates/draws/paints the graphics.
​
All of her personal hand-drawn or painted illustrations and high-resolution elements can be used to create PLR, digital products, physical products, and TEMPLATES (to name a few) which is MUCH MORE than any typical commercial use license.

Along with the individual elements, she's also included a few different types of graphics to help you create scenes.
​
These design kits are only available for one month inside the membership so you have until the 14th to pick these up. Katherine will then be offering them for sale at the current regular price of $97.
​
You'll automatically receive $482 worth of bonuses that come with MRR rights, meaning you can turn these kits around and not only sell them commercially, but as PLR without restrictions!
​
MRR or master resell rights means you can sell these items commercially to others who can also sell them commercially. Normally, with PLR, you can sell them to others for personal use only.
​
This means you can use these products to create your very own PLR. It's also perfect if you've been wanting to get into a bundle but don't have a creative bone in your body and aren't sure what you would be able to offer with PLR rights - now you'll be able to thanks to Katherine's gorgeous resources.
​
Best of all, you can use these elements without fear of infringing on someone's license, which is much more generous than a standard commercial use license, and use them for to create PLR digital products, physical products, and templates (to name a few) - and yes, even stickers!

Check out everything you get on the sales page. This kit will be available at the discounted price of $27 until March 14th.
