Hi Reader,
​
Can you believe Spring is finally here? It sure doesn't feel like it today. Even though the temps are above zero today, I've had my space heater blasting in my office trying to stay warm.

Yesterday I saw a beautiful female Cardinal outside my office window, followed quickly by a male. Hopefully I'll see a baby Cardinal in a few months.
​
I also saw a Black Capped Chickadee and a Dark Eyed Junco The same two I've seen hanging around together for the last few years. Best buddies I'm thinking, who sometimes travel with a lone male cardinal.
​
I'm excited to set up my camera to hopefully witness a flurry of feathers soon. 🐦

To celebrate the return of our feathered friends, I'm running a quick flash sale on my Birds and Blossoms Illustrative Paper Pack. This is a collection I created for my two year anniversary. It contains beautiful watercolor images of all of the birds I just mentioned including lesser known species such as the Ruby Crowned Kinglet, Cedar Waxwing, and Yellow Warbler.
​
Best of all, it comes with commercial use so you can sell them in your own projects. You can grab this pack for $20 off - just $7. The sale is on until my next email comes out, then the price will return to $27.

ENDS TONIGHT: PATTERNS WITH MIDJOURNEY

Following the success of their Prompt Generator series, Jan has created a new version that creates awesome seamless patterns without the hassle of putting prompts together.
​
The Midjourney Pattern Prompt Generator includes all the words she has found that makes a huge difference to the final result along with 20 types of tiling options that are great when you want to create different styles of pattern.

The generator even helps with the 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 to use on Midjourney in an instant.

The tool runs on Google Sheets which is free. Instructions are included within the spreadsheet and in a separate booklet.

The images created 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.

Right now, grab this for $9 during launch price until midnight PST tonight (Tuesday, March 25th) with coupon code PATTERN. Then it will be $27.

There's also a $5 bump offer 5) on the checkout page for a 23-page report Pattern Profits on how to make the most of your patterns. Along with a Coloring Pattern Prompt Generator ($7)

✨ BONUS: Receive 50% of your purchase back in Lara Loot for whatever you purchase which you can spend on my shop page with no expiry.

​
​WOWZA!!! THIS UNICORN IS BACK!

If you're always on the lookout for hidden business gems that also save you money, make sure you check out a magical messaging app called AnyChat that's currently on AppSumo. It's like an LTD version of Chatr and it's receiving RAVE reviews from the snobbiest of tech geeks. It's a great price for a one-time fee with no additional licenses.
​
And if you're someone who regrets not picking up some of those magic tech AppSumo gems when they were still available - think unicorns like Heartbeat, Butter or Castmagic - well, I never thought I'd see the day but one of them is back for a limited time!
​
​Castmagic is one of those deals that came around which I bought with the maximum amount of licenses. This is a super useful tool that makes organizing, transcribing and repurposing existing content a snap.
​
If you have a podcast, a YouTube channel, and/or create courses, Castmagic can save you up to 20 hours a week turning your long form audio and video content into transcripts for blog post ideas, social media, summaries - this does it all. Think of it as if Descript and ChatGPT were to have a baby!

All you do is take an audio or video file, upload it to their platform and it takes your file and immediately creates in seconds flat:

- A full transcript, including a breakdown of different speakers

- Optional titles for your audio file

- Keywords
​
- An introduction

- A time stamped summarized overview

- Questions and Answers

- Key topics and bullets

- Clip finder: Quotes, hooks, and timestamps.
​
- Social media suggestions - This includes LinkedIn Posts, Tweet threads, Reel scripts - and even a newsletter!
​
It also has a writing tool that will generate blog posts based on your audio content. How cool is that?

Here are some other things that you can ask Castmagic to do:

• Write 10 episode title suggestions about {insert topic}."
• "Write a 600 word blog post about {insert topic}."
• "List the key themes discussed in this episode, 7 words max for each theme."
• "Summarize this episode in Spanish, 10 words max."

If this is something you were eyeing in the past, RUN and snap this up quickly. It's not cheap if you choose the lifetime option, but do a quick comparison of the cost of similar tools with a monthly price tag and you'll find that the price more than pays for itself.
​
And like all AppSumo products, it comes with a full 60 day refund policy so if it's not everything it's cracked up to me, your wallet is safe.

Celebrate life’s big moments with our Celebrations Design Kit! This kit is a festive collection of joyful elements, designed to help you capture the excitement of graduations, engagements, birthdays, and all the special occasions that make life unforgettable.
​
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.

ENDS SOON: 50% OFF ON COOL NEW STUFF​
​
Michelle Rohr's 50% off sale is here! Is there a course or template you've been eyeing? Now is the PERFECT time to pick them up and get Get 50% off her exquisitely beautiful products while you can!
​
See what goodies are on sale!

Here are some that I think are worth checking out:
​
Her recently released 30 Day Digital Journal. Sure, 30 day journals aren't nothing new, but you've not seen one like Michelle's. Plus this is so much more than just another digital product you can sell. This journal template can be used in the following ways:

• As the foundation and framework for a course. Michelle's awesome programs, The Abundance Adventure and Release and Reclaim both started out as 30 day journals! (Also 50% right now!)
• As a fun way to market your programs in general. The template includes a page layout for you to do this too!
• As a way to grow your email newsletter by linking to a newsletter sign up form inside your free journals.
• As a tool for any 30 day transformational challenge whenever you want to focus on an area of your life or business that you'd like to work on.
• As a unique gift for your community that they can use to have their own 30 day transformations too.

These are incredibly fast and easy to make. You can literally have the same journal prompt every day for 30 days.
​
I've always been a huge fan of her Digital Planner Template Kit (which is now at a lower price) but more recently, she created a gorgeous Digital Notebook Template Kit for Canva, on sale for just $15 which you can use to create and sell your own stunning planners quickly and easily.
​
And if you've ever wanted to pick up Passive Income Planner Girl but haven't been able to justify the price just yet, Michelle has created the Zone of Genius Planner Girl to help you tap into your zone of genius and make printable and digital planners and workbooks which includes a beautiful, customizable Canva template! On sale for $48.50.

If you're interested in picking up something not currently on sale, send me a message and I'll let you know the bonus structure as some programs/courses vary.

NEW COURSE: AMAZING BONUS FROM MICHELLE!​
​
While you're there, Michelle also has a brand new program Banish Your Blind Spots. and she's offering a fabby bonus of a live group call where you can interact with her one on one! (More on why this is a gamechanger below!)
​
Banish Your Blind Spots is the system and approach that Michelle has personally used to break free from patterns that do not serve the highest expression of herself.
​
These patterns - such as perfectionism, doubting our intuition, and people-pleasing - are coping mechanisms our younger selves constructed to feel safe.
​
However, it's not true safety. These patterns have a way of creating insidious blind spots across all areas of our life that cause us to make choices which cut us off from what we desire and what we deserve again and again.
​
Banish Your Blind Spots is about you finally giving yourself the self-awareness, space, and system to honor your right to love and respect every part of your experience of life - down to the smallest detail in every single area.
​
As someone who has been in Michelle's membership, Say Yes to Desire, I cannot
​
This live call bonus is a HUGE perk as interacting with Michelle one on one is like getting wisdom from an amazing coach without those 4 or 5 ticket coaching programs. I have been with Michelle since 2021 and anytime I have a question, Michelle will take as much time as needed to go over the issue with me. I recall some of these interactions going for over half an hour! Can you imagine what that would cost if you were to do that 1 on 1 with a coach? And I'm someone who always puts myself last, in the sense I don't want to monopolize the time and take away from others, but the fact that she took so long to answer the question is because so many other people in the group had the same issues, and it helped them too!
​
If you're not ready to join Say Yes to Desire, but resonate with Banish Your Blind Spots, I highly recommend picking it up and getting the chance to interact with Michelle on her live call scheduled on March 29th!

✨ BONUS - Purchase Banish Your Blind Spots and you'll get 40% back in Lara Loot on my shop page with no expiry. And if you're interested in joining me in Say Yes to Desire, you'll receive 25% of your purchase back in credit!

It's free and it's a great guide to helping you get over some of the hurdles that may be stopping you from trying your hand at A.I. art. No signup required.

​CREATE SALES PAGES FOR FREE ​
​
If you haven't had a chance to check it out, my brand new course, Pages Palooza, I had a few setbacks with my health holding up adding the final pieces so this course is still on pre-sale for a little while longer at the lowest price it will ever be offered.
​
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. 💝
