​
Hi Reader,
​
Happy Tuesday!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are enjoying the weird, wonky weather. Last week the temperatures were around 18 degrees Celsius, but then it floundered around zero - and today it's somewhere in the middle, so trying to decide on a coach is giving me whiplash. I actually love getting the chance to wear my spring coats, but on a day like today, I can't decide which coat to wear. Will I be too hot? Too cold? And on some days like last week, I had to skip them entirely.
​
If you've missed hearing from me, I've been busy in creation mode (which means new things in my shop soon!)
​
And if you're anything like me, you might have plenty of things you can sell but just haven't gotten around to creating sales pages for them just yet. Why? Because they're time consuming or you just can't stand creating them - or maybe a bit of both.
​
Well, if you've been with me for awhile, you know I loathe creating sales pages. In fact, it's my nemesis. My Achilles heel. My Moby Dick. Heck, I'd rather poke my eye out with a fork than create a sales page.
​
And I'd hazard a guess that about 95% of all the products I've created over the years are still sitting on my computer not being sold because I couldn't stand the idea of making a sales page. Crazy right?
​
So I decided to put an end to that once and for all, and I've been playing around with Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini to create sales pages. What I'm doing currently is taking any old bare-bones sales pages that I originally created in Kit such as my Modern Blooms Self Care planner (which I only offered in a bundle a few years ago as an upsell) and finally creating a proper sales page for it in Thrivecart - so it can finally live somewhere and actually be sold if someone wants it. (Imagine such a thing? 🤣)
​
You can see my brand new sales page creation that Claude and Gemini helped me create here. It's still needs a bit of work as I'm seeing some images that aren't showing up, but it's not bad right? I'm starting off with baby steps. Short sales pages that get to the point, but am currently working on full fledged sales pages and am excited to unveil those soon!
​
(Also, since I am showing you my brand new sales page, it seems only fair that you can grab this planner for the next few days - or until my next newsletter comes out for $7! - for $7!
​
The "Modern Blooms" Self Care Planner is a fun, super useful workbook that's perfect for Spring.

This set comes with commercial usage so you can can add it products in your own your shop to sell! If you want additional information about the usage rights, you can find that info here.

RUNS TOMORROW: GAME CHANGING WORKSHOP
​
I'm still tinkering with how to create sales page FAST, but honestly? With all the trial and error, it still took me about a day to get it looking decent. Not terrible for my first try. The goal is to get it down to about 10 minutes.
​
Well, honestly? There's only so much I can do on my own when I'm tinkering. I need help expediting the process and learning how to truly get this sales page system humming. Which is why I'm super excited to sit down with an expert and attend Brittany Long's upcoming Speedy Sales Page Design workshop tomorrow!
​
Brittany is the Queen of all things AI and she's gotten creating her sales pages down to a science with amazing, conversion-driven copy. Not only are the sales pages she uses (and teaches about) beautiful but they're amazingly fast to create.
​
The live workshop is perfect because not only do you get the on-demand version, you can show up live and ask questions and either follow along and watch, or get it done with her right there during the workshop! She'll also run through how to use these pages to create upsells, thank you pages, opt ins, and how to connect the order form.
​
Sure, you may have great ideas, but if you never give people the opportunity to BUY your stuff, you're leaving untold amounts of money on the table. (Ask me how I know. 😂) As Brittany says, the coaches, course creators, and service providers who are able to move fast and test what their audience wants in real time have a real leg up.
​
Grab this no brainer workshop for $47. You'll learn how to get sales pages one and done once and for all. Helloooo....That's a no brainer in my book!!! The workshop runs tomorrow on Wednesday, April 29th and learn how to become a sales page wizard. 🔮
​
Best of all, when you register for tomorrow's workshop, you'll get access to all future Speedy Sales Page Design workshops AND the on-demand version - plus all the previous workshops that have been recorded.) COOL RIGHT??

✨ BONUS - If you pick up Brittany's membership, get 50% back in Lara Loot to use in my shop! New courses, and products coming soon. (And with my new sales page system, even sooner than imagined!) You can save your credits for a future purchase as they never expire. You can also use them toward anything you see in my newsletter. And yes, even things on sale qualify!

NEW: RARE KIT SALE!​
​
If you still aren't even close to having the means to get a sales page up on platforms like Thrivecart, Wordpress, etc., and you like the idea of creating basic sales page that are seriously easy to create, now is the perfect time to get started and finally make the leap, as the the email platform I use, Kit, is currently on sale for only a few more days!
​
Normally, Kit only runs a sale once a year on Black Friday, so this is a truly rare unicorn of a chance to pick up huge savings for the first time ever outside of Black Friday! If you've been meaning to try Kit, or switch email platforms, Kit is offering a whopping 25% off annual plans for new customers until April 30th. (That's like, Black Friday prices!)
​
Even better, they're also including migration support from a real person on their team, so you don't have to figure out the move alone. Kit's migration team moves over your subscribers, tags, list, and segments. For lists under 10K, that's your essentials covered. For larger lists, it's the whole setup.

What you actually get on the other side:

- One list, subscriber-based pricing — you never pay for the same subscriber twice

- Visual Automations with unlimited steps, branches, and conditions

- Built-in commerce with 0.6% + card processing fees (sell courses, memberships, and digital products without a third-party platform)

- Kit's Creator Network and Recommendations that grow your list 2x faster

- 99.8% delivery rate
​
- Creating products (like the planner I linked above) for absolutely free. No expensive Thrivecart or Wordpress fees, website hosting. Nada. Zip. Zilch!
​
Kit is also perfect if you're a Mailchimp user and don't love the fact that they jacked up their prices. Plus, Mailchimp (like Mailerlite) doesn't allow affiliate marketing so if you've been using it for this reason, you're living on borrowed time and should make the switch stat before your account gets shut down.
​
Hurry! The 25% discount (for new customers) ends April 30th. If you've been a customer in the past and want to take advantage (and don't care about anything you've created inside your existing account) you'd need to create a brand new account with a new email.

✨ BONUS - If you sign up as a new user for a yearly membership, get 30% back in Lara Loot to use in my shop.

Carrie from Peaceful Passive Income is back with a brand new membership called AI Art Studio. This is a practical and EFFECTIVE membership that gives you a competitive edge creating and selling your AI art.

You'll get tools, trainings, and special members-only events so you can create, edit, and SELL high-quality AI art that stands out from the rest!

And no, this is not just a monthly prompt dump. Most other trainings out there focus just on the image creation process - and leave you hanging when it comes to what you should actually DO with your images. Not here.

This is a quarterly membership with a 3 month cycle designed to get you all the way to finished, high quality products in your shop (with eyes on those products!)

Here's how it works:

• Month 1 - Image Creation - You'll get 2+ tutorials to help you develop your skills in creating images with different styles and in different programs.
• Month 2 - Image Editing - No garbage images here! You'll get another 2+ tutorials here. One focusing on a common editing issue in AI graphics, and another "edit with me" over-the-shoulder look at how I've edited my most tricky images recently
• Month 3 - Selling - This is the fun part! You'll TAKE ACTION with a members-only Get It Done Week to get a product (or products!) into your shop. And she’ll also host a members-only sidewalk sale to show off those new products!

And the best part: AI Art Studio is member-driven. Carrie has set the 3 month cycle, but YOU get to request the kinds of things you’d like to see trainings and tutorials on!
​
​And this week, you can join with a special, unheard of Founder's Rate of ONLY $47/quarter!

This is only through May 8th. After that, the quarterly rate goes up to $75/quarter. OR you can snag the Founder's Rate on the Annual Pass at just $141 per year. That's one whole quarter free!

The Annual Pass will also get you these three bonus trainings worth a combined $35 value:

• Finding your Signature Style
• Tips for Beginners
• How to Get Ideas

If you love Carrie's teaching style, you won't want to miss this once in a lifetime chance to dive in with her and become a founding member of her cool AI club.

The sale ends on May 8th at midnight PST.

✨ BONUS - If you decide to grab Carrie's membership, you'll receive a one-time credit in Lara Loot of 40% of your purchase. For split pay, you can split up that amount and get your credit in two shots.

GET FANCY IN APRIL
​
​Katherine has released her newest kit in her Limitless Design Kits Monthly Membership.
​
Delight in the charm of the Tea Party Kit! Inspired by sweet gatherings and timeless traditions, this kit captures the elegance of delicate details, soft florals, and cozy conversation shared over a perfect cup of tea. With a light, whimsical feel, it’s perfect for creating projects that celebrate friendship, quiet moments, and a touch of everyday magic.
​
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 May 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.

CREATE BEAUTIFUL SHOPFRONTS FOR A ONE-TIME PRICE​
​
Have you been considering Shareables? If so, hurry and don't wait too much longer as it won't be available on AppSumo as a lifetime deal much longer.
​
Are you interested in creating a hub for your products but you're not interested in trying to master Divi, Amember, Shopify, etc?
​
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!
​
Ryan, the founder has been a busy bee creating so many new cool features inside Shareables including new widgets, upgrades to the Notion integration and more. This allows you to create email-safe widgets directly from your data. Design newsletters, product showcases, testimonials, and more with these 11 new Shareable Email Widgets, when you’re ready, copy the HTML and paste it into emailing tool!
​
Newly added:

• 11 pre-built templates to get you started!
• Tested with Gmail, Outlook and Apple Mail
• Images automatically cached
• Customizable footer CTAs and more!
• Customise your Shareables subdomains
• Show total items on your widget
• New Field types (Progress, Checklists, Emails and more!)
• Button and Field Icons
• Display Notion page content in your widgets! (BRAND NEW!)

If you have been wanting to create a shopfront, but don't want to pay recurring fees, Shareables is how you can get this done without any fuss. I already have a lifetime license for Spreadsimple for a few years, which does the same thing, but I still picked up Shareables immediately. Both are 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.
​
Since not everyone is cool paying a monthly fee for Spreadsimple or Softr (which is wildly expensive), you should definitely check out Shareables while it's available.

That's all for today. And if you've made it this far down, yay! I also wanted to mention if you missed seeing this, that Art Bundles for Good is back and right now, you can enter for a chance to win $5000 of online art classes! Hurry though, the deadline to enter the contest is only on for one more day.
