Hi Reader,
​
It's been a few weeks since I've sent you an email as I've had a busy month with many milestone birthday celebrations as well other lifey things I've been having to deal with.
​
I've also been actively working behind the scenes to tackle some weaknesses in my business which I've been putting off for years. Sales pages. It's one of those things I try to avoid doing at all costs, but you can't really escape if you want to actually share your offers. I have a bunch of amazing things I've created but put to the wayside because of this hurdle and I decided to buckle down and address it once and for all.
​
With the help of A.I., there's no excuse not to be able to create sales pages quickly. And while I will never use AI to write for me, especially a newsletter, I'm a fan of using it as a tool to help me create workflows that truly save time. And it's truly remarkable what you can do these days when it comes to creating sales pages which you just couldn't do a year ago.
​
Yes, AI is moving at a breakneck speed and it really is the wild west out there And if you have been living under a rock and haven't heard - BC Stack is back this week (for just a few more days) and they've made a point of including many A.I. related products.

I've been a participant for the last three years and all of my contributions have been related to A.I., so I was excited to be a part of this year's bundle as it's a subject that everyone can learn about. Even if you consider yourself an expert, there's always more to learn.
​
For a limited time, you can get access to 65 courses from successful bloggers, podcasters, marketers, creators, and entrepreneurs for $59.

Even better, Dan R Morris and Rachel Marie Martin, will either walk you through each product.
​
These aren't random courses. They're roadmaps created by people who have already built the kind of businesses many of us want to build.
​
For 12 years, BC Stack has been on the forefront for digital entrepreneurs. This isn't a random collection of internet products; it’s a decade-plus reputation built on bringing you the industry's absolute best.

It includes 55+ courses, products, and training from the biggest online business experts around the world. If you're excited about making more money, scaling, and creating a robust and thriving audience, we exist for you.
​
BC Stack is only available the 2nd Week of June every year.

A year from now you'll be somewhere.

The question is whether you'll be closer to the business and lifestyle you want.

If you're ready to invest in that future version of yourself, make sure you check out the bundle, as it's only available until Sunday.
​
And I truly apologize for only writing you about this now, but I've been having so many technical glitches getting some of my products connected to this bundle, it's been a comedy of errors.
​
We're talking sales pages imploding, bump offers disappearing, and just too many WTF moments to believe. But finally, after going on about 2 hours a night of sleep, I think I've finally kept those tech gremlins at bay long enough to pop in and tell you about my bonuses.
​
First of all, I find the whole frenzy of bundle bonus-grubbing totally gross. You know..."The FAST ACTION, HUMONGO, CRAZEEE" bonuses. 🙄
​
Yeah, that's icky. I'm not sure why BC Stack creates such frenzy in affiliates, some of whom stop short at offering up their first born.
​
You've seen it...thousands of dollars worth of PLR, workshops galore... heaps of courses and shop coupons.
​
I'm not sure about you, but sitting on Zoom calls on weekends over the course of a few months isn't my idea of fun, but I loathe Zoom calls. 🤣
​
The same for having a stack of PLR sitting unused on your hard drive or courses you never get around to watching. And trust me, I've bought some of those things myself. Do I need a stack of coupons to use on things I don't NEED or workshops that eat up my time?
​
No. I'm spread so thin now, I don't have the bandwidth for distractions and unnecessary stuff. I want quality. Not quantity. And I actually want things I can use that will help me get ahead. Not a heap of ugly coloring books.
​
I thought long and hard over the last few months as to what I could offer you. If you've been holding out comparing which ones are worth it. (And hopefully you haven't been swayed by some of those megazoid early bonus tactics either.)
​
With that in mind, I'm offering three brand new products as my bonus for purchasing BC Stack through my link. These are all GPT's as I thought it would be better to give you something that you can use to help speed up your workflow to make creating things faster and more fun.
​
These are GPT's I've been testing for months now. All which you can use with a free Open AI account. I am so proud of each and every one and I'm completely blown away by the results I've been able to consistently achieve and what huge time savers they've been.
​
First up, I'm offering my brand new GPT - The Bulletproof AI Wizard. This is the tool I use the most. Like, pretty much every day.

If you've ever found yourself endlessly tweaking prompts, chasing a specific vibe, or wondering why your images aren't matching what's in your head, this is the GPT you'll probably find yourself opening again and again.
​
Think of it as your personal shortcut to creating consistently stunning images.

Instead of staring at a blank prompt box, you can throw Pip (my cute squirrel wizard who I made the mascot of this GPT) a half-baked idea, or even a messy brain dump and he'll help you turn it into visual gold. Plus he'll take it one step further and create the images for you if you're feeling like a lazy chud and don't feel like schlepping over to another art generator.
​
If you own my course, The Pixel Playbook, the premise behind it is learning how to steer clear of relying on artist references and how to create original image prompts with confidence. It teaches the foundations of building prompts that are creative, effective, and worry-free.

But let's face it: sometimes you don't really have a heap of time to endlessly Google artists, research and reverse-engineer art styles, refine wording, and then figure out why an image isn't quite working. These are all HUGE time sucks. (Ask me how I know. 🤣)

You really just want to create.
​
That's why I built The Bulletproof AI Wizard. Think of it as the practical, action-oriented companion to The Pixel Playbook.
​
If you have trouble getting from idea to image, Pip removes the frustration and second-guessing so you can just get to creating with confidence.
​
I not only use it to create most of my images, but logos, mockups and anything else I need. (Fun fact: he created ALL the mockups that you see for the GPT's I'm offering here today.) I honestly think it's the best GPT out there. Not that I'm biased or anything. 😂
​
It's available for purchase as a special bump offer for BC Stack buyers only, so if you grab the bundle through my link, it's already included and you won't need to purchase it separately.
​
Next up: My brand spanking new GPT, ✨ Make It a Mood.

Click the photo above if you're interested in checking out the sales page, which currently only exists as a post-purchase offer for BC Stack buyers only, so make sure you don't purchase this if you use my link as you'll get it for free!
​
This GPT is essentially a creative worldbuilding assistant.

You give it a feeling, atmosphere, aesthetic, weather mood, memory, texture, or cinematic vibe… and it helps translate that into visual direction, imagery ideas, aesthetics, and prompts you can actually build from.
​
Think: one feeling, endless creative directions. 💛

It’s one of my favorite tools for getting OUT of repetitive generic AI art and into creating worlds that feel atmospheric, emotional, cinematic, and uniquely yours.
​
Instead of starting with a prompt, you start with a mood.

A rainy Paris afternoon.
A forgotten seaside motel.
A summer you can't quite remember.
​
From there, the GPT helps you build an entire creative world around that feeling.

And it pairs ridiculously well with the Illustrated AI Selfie Lookbook because once you've created your character or visual style, this helps you create an entire world around it.

And finally...my not yet available GPT, the Main Character Generator.
​
If you're familiar with my Illustrative AI Selfie Lookbook (the one you'll get free inside BC Stack) I created that guide to help you design your own illustrative portraits that feel imaginative and FUN, instead of those photo-real images that smack of creepy uncanny valley vibes.

I LOVE this lookbook so much I've started building a heap of products around it, but I am so proud of this companion product: the not-yet-released, Main Character Generator.

This fully immersive GPT will help you create cinematic identities, illustrated alter egos, aesthetic worlds, artistic personas that go far beyond any one portrait style.

Think: Mysterious Parisian botanist, candlelit gothic heroine, surrealist storybook character, Parisian spy…you get the idea.

Instead of wondering what persona to create next from my lookbook, the GPT helps generate entire creative directions of who your leading lady is, and visual concepts for your brand, content, newsletters, social media, and artistic projects.

I’m currently building it and including exclusive pre-launch access to anyone who grabs BC Stack through my link.

This last GPT will be delivered, at the latest, in the last week of June. The others are available right now. Just send me an email and I'll give you immediate access.

So you'll receive 3 GPT's. After initial launch, the price will rise to $37 and their final price will be $67. So that's $201 worth of incredible tools to help you take action in your business and get you creating fast.
​
And yeah, I know...I'm totally contributing to the random bonus madness here and just made myself look like one big, fat hypocrite. But if I'm going to offer something, I want it to be products you'll actually use instead of another digital dust collector. 😂
​
Remember, this bundle (and my bonuses) are only available until Sunday.

If you're interested in creating GPT's yourself, just remember, if I can do it, (the gal who is NOT techie whatsoever) I'll let you in on a little secret...
​
I learned how to create them with a workshop I grabbed from Sarah and Justin at Wake Up To Freedom in the winter called the IP to GPT course. It was super simple to understand and I was able to create a GPT within an evening. Their products honestly are 🔥🔥🔥.
​
And right now, they've opened their vault (which they only do once a year) and brought out their best-selling mini workshops at the lowest prices they ever offer (up to 80% off.), They run the whole thing over 5 days which they call Workshop Week.

Each day:

→ A fresh set of deals drops, live for 24 hours only

→ Most are $9 to $25, so it's an easy yes

→ Each one is a simple, proven way to bring in sales without a big launch

These are the real, useful workshops and THEY WORK. The once-a-year discount makes it a no-brainer, but make sure you check back as the deals change daily and disappear at midnight.
​
Your best bet is to get on the waitlist now so you won't miss any amazing buys.

✨BONUS - Whatever you pick up this week from Sarah & Justin, receive 40% back in Lara Loot to spend in my shop (before tax and after coupons are applied) with no expiry. New additions (including trainings and courses) coming soon. Just send me an email with your invoice. 💗

NEW: THE COOLEST CLUB ON THE INTERWEBZ​
​
Elizabeth Goddard admits it's pretty audacious to sell an offer like Lizzy's Club. 😅
​
This is her behind-the-scenes pass which includes practically everything she sells for $50 or less in 2026 to inspire your next lightbulb moment. All the while getting to co-exist in the same rare air as the internet’s favourite rule-breaking, experiment-creating, giraffe-onesie-wearing strategist: Lizzy!
​
It goes against everything we're taught.

It doesn't have a specific result.

It doesn't solve a specific problem.

It's not for a specific type of person.

Because when she finds someone she likes...
​
someone with similar values...
​
someone whose way of thinking/explaining makes sense...
​
someone who lights up different parts of her brain...

then she just wants a front row seat to all of it.

And that's what she's offering in Lizzy's Club.
​
Fun fact: Lizzy's Club is something she sold in December as her Low Ticket Pass 2026 which she has rebranded.
​
As she's clearly demonstrated in her hugely successful workshop last week, How to Sell When Nothing Works, Lizzy doesn't have all the answers right now...

But she does have the resilience and creativity.

And that's what Lizzy's Club is: how she's navigating the rest of this year.

The ideas, the experiments and the strategies.

The good, the bad and the ugly.
​
Want to join her in her ongoing quest to unboringify her business, and in the process get inspired to unboringify yours?

Learn from a seven figure business earner and take $100 off while it's on sale before the clock runs out on Friday, June 12th at midnight PST.

✨ BONUS - If you love, love, love Lizzy and decide to join Lizzy's Club, I'll gift you $75 of Lara Loot to spend on anything in my shop.

NEW: ALMOST GONE
​
​There's only a few days left to grab Katherine's newest kit in her Limitless Design Kits Monthly Membership.
​
Step into the joy of growing with our Gardener Kit! Inspired by sunlit garden days and the simple rhythm of tending plants, this kit captures the fresh, grounding feel of soil, blooms, and homegrown abundance. With a natural, peaceful vibe, it’s perfect for projects that celebrate slow living, nurturing growth, and the quiet magic of a garden well loved.
​
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 June 14th.

✨BONUS - If you purchase Katherine's kit, I'll give you 50% of your purchase back in Lara Loot which you can use in my shop with no expiry.

If you've read all the way down to the end, thank you, you're my people.
​
And if you've spotted a random typo or two, know I've been living on 2 hours of sleep since Saturday and a concerning number of hot dogs so I could get all these goodies done for you. 💗
