​
Hi Reader,
​
Well, I never thought the day would arrive, but between being sick for over a month now with what my doctor suspects is pneumonia, and feeling like there's a piano on my chest all all times, I'm happy to announce my brand new course is available for pre-sale! 🥳

​GET PAGES PALOOZA ON PRE-SALE​
​
If you've been with me for awhile, you might remember running an informal poll to gauge if there was any interest in a training I wanted to create back in early 2023 on how to create a tripwire page using entirely free tools.
​
I had a flurry of interest but with everything going on in real life, it's taken me longer than I would have liked, but I'm thrilled that I'm finally able to unveil it!
​
I'm also super excited to say I've added a huge amount of value into this training as I've expanded on the original concept to not only include how to create tripwires but also how to create sales pages which you can make for free as well!
​
This is perfect if you're anything like me and aren't great at Wordpress and/or find creating pages on a website a huge headache. Or maybe you just haven't been able to stomach the idea of getting a website up and running and aren't thrilled with the idea of paying for hosting, creating a domain, and building out your pages. (Hi! I've been there. It took me over four years to build a very basic website. 😅)
​
This training offers an alternative to creating sales pages and tripwires which I haven't found anywhere else - and you can do it with zero cost! I've been looking for the last two years for a free alternative that actually looks GOOD but have never been able to find a system like the one I developed.
​
I've refined the process significantly and will also be showing you how to create more stylized versions of this form via customized templates which you can also use to create sales pages! In fact, the sales page that you'll see the course offered on (not the shopping cart in Thrivecart) was made using the template that I will be walking you through how to create!
​
I'm also adding a bonus lesson where I walk you through how to set up an entirely free shopping cart so you can start creating and selling immediately. It was really important to me to add this lesson as I wanted to not only create entirely free tools available to everyone, but for you to have the whole process available, and not be stuck having to pay for one aspect of the process, which renders it NOT free.
​
My aim was to have this course done in early January but this plague that's flattened me has really taken its toll so all the elements for the course are slated to roll out on or before Feb 28th. I'd really like to be done as soon as possible, but I currently sound like Brenda Vaccaro and I also can't sit upright for too long without being in a lot of pain.
​
In it's previous form, this course was initially going to be a training that taught you how to create tripwire pages using a template similar to the one seen here which is one of the earliest tripwire landing pages I created using entirely free tools in Kit (formerly ConvertKit) for Sidney Eve's Making it Bloom bundle.
​
If you're not ready to start a newsletter, or have no intention of ever starting one, that's great! You can still sign up to create sales pages and tripwires, which doesn't require a paid account. In fact, since the free plan stays free if you stay under 1,000 subscribers, you'll never have to worry about paying a cent. 😆

Also, if you purchased BC Stack from me, please do NOT buy this course. I will be giving you access to this course and sending details your way in the next couple of days. If you would like access sooner, please write me directly and I'll get you set up. (Remember, the course material won't be live until the end of the month.)​
​​
Lastly, 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!
​
If you have any questions on this one, please reach out as I'm super excited to chat about this one since it's so near and dear to my heart. 💝

This fun, yet highly-effective tool takes the slog out of putting detailed prompts together. It's based on Google Sheets which everyone with a free Google account has access to. The tool will help you produce gorgeous and highly original artwork from your favorite AI art generator.

It even helps with those pesky 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 in an instant.

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

The images that customers create 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 also a bump offer for $5 on the checkout page for a report with common AI image generation mistakes and how to fix them and how to prompt for four types of images to get the best results.

Once customers check out, they'll see an upsell offer for an AI Photo Prompt generator.

This has all the extra detailed fields for professional level photographs including lens, camera, film, composition, depth of field, special effects etc. that they need to create the very best photos.

The AI Photo Prompt generator is just $12 in the upsell offer (regular price $37)

It has all the pro-level photo setting suggestions they need to get started on the right path, an instruction booklet, and a photographic image tips sheet.

Right now, you can pick the AI generator up for $9 (reg. $27) with coupon code ARTPROMPT until February 17th at midnight PST.

Whether designing Valentine's Day cards, creating sweet gifts, or simply looking to add a touch of love to your projects, this design kit has everything you'll need!
​
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.
