Hi Reader,
​
We're officially into March and I couldn't be more excited to leave the last two months behind.

Being sick for all that time makes me feel like March is the official start of 2025 for me. 🤣 How about you?
​
I'm starting to come around but my ribs are still quite tender so I'm doing everything I can not to cough and have been taking things slow. I'm looking forward to the weather getting warmer, and going out for walks. Since getting sick, I haven't gone on any since December!
​
With that said, now that I'm starting to finally feel human, I've slowly begun to add the mountains of products I've created for bundles and bonuses on my shop page. One of the major complaints some of my dear subscribers have told me is that they just want to buy the things I offer. Many don't want to buy a bundle just to get my product, although I've been told many times that's the only reason they've bought a bundle - or to get my bonus. 😂
​
I'm trying to get into a more consistent flow to start adding these things regularly. It's still slow going, but I was able to add all of my bird planners on the weekend.

If you've had your eye on any of these planners, as a thank you for being a subscriber, you can grab any of them for just $9 but only until my next newsletter comes out. When that one hits your inbox, the price will have gone up, so don't delay if you want any of them. They come with commercial use and are completely unique. I've not seen anything like these on Etsy so this is a wide open niche and completely unique in that space.
​
Click on the picture to go to the website and use coupon code BIRDCRAZY to bring the price of any of the planners down to just $9.

NEW: BOUNTIFUL BUNDLE

Cat Griffin's Let's Get Digital bundle is back. It contains over 150 resources worth of more than $4500. Each product typically sells for $9-$99, but until March 10th, you can grab them for free!
​
Included in the bundle is my contribution, The Bunnies in Teacups Illustrated Paper Pack!

There's also a Premium Bundle which consists of an additional 30+ high-value products for those looking to dive deeper. The premium bundle is only $77, but each individual product is worth a minimum of $97+, so you’ll be saving big!

✨BONUS - If you pick up the Premium Let's Get Digital Bundle, you'll receive $50 in Lara Loot! Plus, I'll gift you this adorable 30 piece companion set of "Bunnies in Teacups" Clip Art. A value of $27! Making your purchase free!

These high-quality, transparent PNG images are perfect for all your creative projects, giving you the flexibility to customize and use them anywhere you like. And since the original product you're getting for free doesn't include the rights to convert illustrations into PNG, this edition, created in cute shapes and sizes, offers the flexibility to use your designs in countless new ways.
​
These will be waiting for you in your Thrivecart member area in the next day or two.
​
Now that I'm starting to feel better, I've begun adding products to the page so you'll see new additions regularly. That goes for courses too like the one at the bottom of this email! You can also save your bonuses for a future purchase as they never expire.

STARTS TODAY! A "GET IT DONE WEEK" YOU'LL WANT TO DO

Ruth Poundwhite is kicking off a live $10 bootcamp which begins today.
​
It's all about creating a strategic freebie that more naturally leads to your paid offers. The daily tasks will help light a fire under you to get it done over the week with the incentive of Ruth sharing your freebie with her full audience. Talk about an amazing incentive! (And scroll down to check out my bonus if you want to pick up Ruth's offer for free!)
​
​If you've worried you've missed too much - you actually haven't missed a thing as if you sign up soon, you can join the live call tomorrow, Tuesday March 4th at 10 am EST and get feedback and inspiration on what to create. There's also another live call on Friday, March 7th!
​
Unlike other ways of selling, Ruth's is based on the idea of creating your next freebie that connects with more of your people & naturally leads to sales of your offer.
​
Last time Ruth ran this bootcamp it was a HUGE hit. And a third of signups bought upsells and order bumps to boost the average order value so this will be a fun challenge to participate in.
​
I've been a founding member of Ruth's Soulful Sales Society membership since she launched two years ago and I highly recommend anything she puts out.

✨BONUS - If you grab Ruth's Get it Done Week and join me, I'll gift you $10 back in Lara Loot, making your purchase free!

​
Michelle Rohr just announced she's holding an impromptu sale extravaganza. 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.
​
Really, there are too many lovely things to gush over, so check out all the offerings currently 50% off for yourself, but don't wait as I'm not sure how long she will be running this sale for.

If you purchase any of the items on sale on Michelle's page, (make sure laramai is shown at the very bottom of the checkout page) get 40% back in Lara Loot. 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: 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!

NEW: CREATE COOL COLORING BOOKS​
​
Following the success of Jan Small's AI Image Prompt Generator product, she's just released a similar product for coloring books, which is actually trickier than it looks.

The Midjourney Coloring Book Prompt Generator, is a great way of taking the hassle out of putting detailed prompts together. The tool will help you produce original coloring pages for both kids and adults (Kids and Adults have a separate sheet in the tool).

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

The tool runs on Google Sheets which anyone with a free Google account has access to on any device.

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.
​
There's a bump offer ($5) on the checkout page for a 27-page report on How to Sell More Coloring Books and an upsell for $7 for an EASY Coloring Book Cover Guide which gives you the best method for getting those tricky half-colored images easily using Midjourney along with the process for creating your cover for Amazon KDP.
​
Right now, you can pick the Coloring Book Prompt Generator for $9 (reg. $27) with coupon code COLOR until March 5th at midnight PST.

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

NEW: SEA LIFE FUN
​
​Katherine's is back with her newest kit in her Limitless Design Kits Monthly Membership
​
Dive into a world of underwater wonder with Katherine's February release: the Sea Life Design Kit! This kit is a vibrant collection of sea-inspired elements designed to transport your projects to a fun ocean adventure. Whether you're designing beach-themed invitations, crafting ocean-inspired décor, or simply looking to add a splash of sea magic to your designs, this design kit has you covered.
​
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.

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

​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.) 😆
​
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. 💝
