​
Hi Reader,

I have some pretty cool news to share with you. (Insert drumroll here?) 🤣
​
I'm going to be a contributor to this year's BC Stack!
​
I'll be unveiling my Art with A.I. course which I'm super excited for people to check out. (And nervous too since it's my first course.)
​
For anyone who was supposed to receive this course when I offered it as a bonus, if you pick it up through BC Stack, I'll also be offering you my next course, which is close to completion along with any other goodies I might throw in.
​
Thanks to those who has been so patient and understanding. I've had some personal family issues going on for the past year and haven't had much free time to devote to my course. My longtime readers might have also noticed I haven't been as active sending my once-daily newsletters over the last year too. Lately it's been a couple times a week, sometimes even less than that.
​
For now, this is the season I'm in, and I'm ok with that. But I definitely haven't forgotten about those bonuses so stay tuned for more details soon!

STARTS MONDAY: BC STACK

Yes, it's almost here and I'm more than a little nervous to put it mildly.
​
On Monday, BC Stack 2024 will be rolling in like a freight train with their highly sought after bundle that is only available once a year.
​
With 65 products available from industry heavyweights along with some newcomers (yesss that's meeeee!!!) it's definitely one worth checking out.
​
If you're interested in signing up to promote this event as an affiliate, you'll earn 50% commission on any sales you bring in, plus Dan and Rachel have over $20k in prizes available.
​
I've been an affiliate for the last two years and even if you don't have a huge list, they're still awarding prizes to the little folks who don't feel like they can compete with the big dogs. ​
​
​Here's the lowdown:

• Product Price: $49
• Pre-Buy Next Year: $27
• Workshop Upsell: $499

Please don't count yourself out! You have people who want to buy from you. Trust me on this one. I'm proof of this.
​
Make sure you sign up as the bundle goes live on June 10th!
​
Also, Dan sent me a new link as the one I gave you in my last email wasn't correct so ignore the last link if you haven't already signed up.

With 578 pages covering the 18 months from July 2024 right through to December 2025, this also comes with commercial rights and full instructions for editing (47-page pdf with screenshots) so that you can easily make your own set of unique planners if you wish.

As the planner has an extra six months, customers can start using their purchase right away, instead of waiting for 2025, which is a huge advantage when it comes to selling your planner at any time before the end of the year.

This also makes the planner ideal for the academic school year.

Instructions are included in the pdf guide for removing months (if you wish) as the year progresses, and using these instructions, you can easily create a 12-month 2025 planner from this product for selling next year.

Smartphone planners are hugely popular with those of us who don't want to carry around a weighty paper planner or even an iPad, and they're a popular niche on Etsy.

Get ready for the planner buying frenzy ahead in Q4 and add a Smartphone option to your store in as many different designs as you like.

There's a bump offer on the checkout page with 6 extra covers at $7.
​
An upsell ($7) includes an instruction booklet (in editable Canva template format) to create a PDF for customers, 10 product mockups in each of two formats (square and rectangular), 200+ relevant keywords, and a sample product description specifically written to sell this product.
​
Just $17 during launch (regularly $67.) No coupon code required. This sale ends June 14th at Midnight PST.

✨ BONUS - If you purchase Jan's planner, choose a regular bonus from my bonus page. If you purchase the bump and the upsell, you can choose a deluxe bonus instead.

NO COMMITMENT!

Do you love Leonie but just haven't wanted to take the leap to plunking down your hard earned cash for a year commitment to the Brilliant Biz Academy?
​
Well, Leonie decided to make a special offer, which she hasn't rolled out in over a decade!

Right now, you can join with monthly access to her membership which houses over $10,000 worth of courses, coaching, books, templates & virtual co-working space.
​
All content is immediately available. No content is dripped and you're not locked in if you're not feeling it. Plus, if you know you only need to do a quick pop in to check out specific courses, this is the perfect way to make use of her membership with no ties.

Grab this offer for $29 a month, but hurry, Leonie is doing a trial run of her lightbulb of an idea so it may never see the light of day again.
​
And of course, if you know you love it and missed out the last time she opened up her membership, grab the yearly deal to get the best bang for your buck for $199 a year and JOIN me! I've been a member since she opened her doors two years ago and I highly recommend it.

✨BONUS 1 - If you purchase the monthly plan, choose a deluxe bonus from my bonus page.
​
✨BONUS 2 - If you decide to opt for the yearly, choose six deluxe bonuses AND I'll also throw in the following extra goodies:

The Shimmering Stars collection - a 12 piece set of modern, timeless, shimmering stars in 12 x 12" seamless patterns with MRR rights. That means you can do whatever you want with them without making any changes. You just can't sell the templates as is. (4 of the 12 images shown below.)

✨BONUS 3 - I'll throw in my 10 piece set of abstract, modern art prints in 12 x 12" seamless patterns. (4 of the images shown below.) These come with MRR rights so you can use them to create backgrounds for planners and printables, dividers, covers as well as KDP, POD, etc.

Both of these sets have massive evergreen appeal so you can use these patterns for years to come.
​
Normally, these pieces would retail individually for a minimum of $10 with personal use in my Etsy store (a value of $220) but today you're getting the entire set with commercial use, so the value is significantly greater. Email me with your receipt and I'll send this right over!

SAY HELLO TO A NEW LOOK!
​​
Have you heard the news? My pal Melanie Dougherty has just changed the name of her membership from Club Pin to Club Pub.
​
When her membership started a few years ago, it was focused on Pinterest Pins, but her club has evolved so much that Mel decided it needed a name change to suit where she's going in her business.
​
Previously, members received access to two months of content (the current one and the previous month's) but from now on, you'll receive access to ALL her content! That is HUGE as this means it won't go poof after a couple of months. You'll be getting access to everything she's ever created plus a growing library of video training on how to use the content. There's so much VALUE for everything you get!
​
If you're worried that her brand new renovation means an increase in price, the good news is she's kept it at $10 FOR NOW.
​

This month's featured products:

• Business Basics Solopreneur eBook - 43 Pages, fully customizable templates created in Canva, with PLR
• 35 AI Created Corresponding Images - with PLR

The eBook is a basic overview of different areas to consider when starting and growing your online business - perfect if you're new to this and want to start your own business, or you've started and want ideas to continue to grow your business.

She's got a fun (super cool!) Retro Comic vibe happening for this month's products, with topics that include:

• Business Basics
• Technology
• Market Research
• Customer Experience
• Ethics and Business Savvy
• Grow-Learn-Lead

And this just in: Members will receive April's Products as a BONUS plus everything from previous months!!
​
​See images below for an additional bonus of the Product Research and Organization Training --- also included in April's products and not yet available anywhere else!!​
​
​Mel's new training is not really a lesson on keyword research,.....more an example of a good few key words she's found, and how to combine them in your product listing to up your searchability results.
​
And there's a system to organize all that research and "rabbit hole research," because Mel's a systems gal. This includes those key word gold mines you find when looking for something else.
​
This also includes how to organize and label all your best seller inspiration photos to not only speed up your product creation process, but to help you take that up-front work you did and use it to create numerous products.
​
Save time. Up your creation. Win Win. Includes Google sheet and Canva template so you'll have your own organizational system.

This month's Club Pin products were created from just some of the things she found, so it's a great little implementation training. She shows you what she found, how she organized it and then turned it into two different products that you could just run wild with and use to create many others.

This training is ONLY available in her membership PLUS you'll also receive the two created PLR Canva Templates.
​
Soon this the training will be sold on it's own, but not with the two additional canva products included. Those will be an additional cost.

All this for just $10 and comes with commercial usage! We're talking super great value!
​
And make sure you check out some of her other fabby products: ​
​
Bundle of eight Club Packs for just $47.
​
​ConvertKit Quick Tips Training.

✨ BONUS - If you grab Mel's membership, choose a regular bonus from my bonus page.

CRAFTY CLIP ART

Katherine's is back with her newest kit in her Limitless Design Kits Monthly Membership.​
​​
This month's Craft Room design kit is a treasure trove of inspiration, designed to ignite your imagination and add a touch of handmade charm to your designs. My love of all things crafting including aimlessly wandering the aisles of craft supply stores and convincing myself I have time for one more project is what prompted this theme. I hope it helps spark your creativity!
​
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 tonight - June 14th.

✨BONUS - If you purchase Katherine's kit choose a one-time regular bonus from my bonus page.

LIFETIME DEAL OF THE CENTURY​
​
Recently I told you about my tea party call with Michelle Rohr who went through her favorite tools that have been helping her to work smarter, not harder.
​
One of them stood out immediately called Voicenotes and after I did a tiny bit of research, I RAN and signed up lightning fast.
​
Why? Usually $10 a month, they're offering a lifetime deal of just $50 to the first thousand subscribers. I wasn't sure when that would run out so I hot footed it right over there and hit that buy button so fast.
​
If you're upset you missed out on apps like Heartbeat and Butter and think this is something that you can get use out of, you'll be jumping up and down with glee if you grab it now for that crazy good deal.
​
The inventor of the app created Buy Me a Coffee which has helped over a million creators in funding their work online. You'll see that in signatures for blogs, memberships, and at the end of newsletters for people like Faith Lee, Liz Wilcox, and Sasha Hutchinson.
​
Their new AI note-taker, Voicenotes, is an intelligent note-taking tool that allows creators and thinkers to dump their thoughts.
​
For me, I immediately bought after seeing my voice note get transcribed instantly. That's not even the main use for this app though. Here are just a few of the things it can do:

✅ Record new ideas, family moments, meetings, podcast takeaways, anything.

✅ Ask your AI to review past notes or brainstorm new ideas. It has perfect memory.

✅ Create summary, to-do list, blog post, and more using your notes.
​
Here are some other things it can do that are currently in the works:

— Attachments: this would allow note-takers to quickly attach images, links, etc. to a note for future reference. Your AI will have context about this as well.

— Reminders: Voicenotes will automatically surface to-do items from your notes. So you can say things like "remind me to buy that new book about the Sackler family" and it would be added to your reminders (attaching design).

— Apple Watch and WearOS apps (ETA May mid)

— Publish: ability to publicly share a voice note with your friends/followers. Can be even used as a lightweight-podcast.

— Autotags: Voicenotes will suggest tags to be added after processing your notes. Currently tags are underused because of the high effort and we hope this will solve that.
​
Its intelligence is jaw droppingly brilliant: summarizing transcripts into useful titles, finding the right answers to questions you ask it.
​
To put it all into perspective, check out this testimonial which sums up what Voicenotes can do:

Right now, the creators have made it free to try without even signing up so you're free to check it out without paying a dime.
​
I am not sure how long this deal will be on because the last time I heard, they had already reached 1,000 buyers and were only letting in a few more people.
​
If you're interested in finding the link to the deal, you’ll find an upgrade button on the left sidebar on the website and on the top nav-bar on mobile.
​
This is what it looks like on my desktop. (I didn't try it on mobile as I hadn't downloaded it at the time.)

If you're still not sure if you want it, the creators offer a no questions asked refund policy. Just email them anytime within 30 days for a refund.
​
If you do buy it, let me know how you like it after you've played with it a bit. I'd love to hear how it's working for you and any cool ways you're using the platform!

✨ BONUS - If you purchase Voicenotes, choose a regular bonus from my bonus page. Send me your receipt, but kindly wait to collect your bonus until after the 30 day refund window has passed.

BONUS UPDATE:​
​
Check out my bonus page here. My bonuses do not have an expiry. I have been working on updating my bonus page (December 5th, 2023) so look forward to that soon.
​
​Update regarding bonuses​
​
I've been having a few issues lately around receiving commissions so if you want to ensure that you buy through my links and receive your bonuses, please make sure to make your purchases on a desktop.
​
Apple does not allow for link tracking and there is a good chance that I will not get credited for the sale. It's also a good policy to click my link and purchase right away because if you decide to do so later, and you're browsing other sites, or checking out other emails, you may accidentally click on someone else's offer unknowingly so they'll get credit for a sale and if you don't know who that person is, they might not have a bonus for you.
​
For Thrivecart purchases: Make sure you see my name laramai at the bottom of the checkout page under affiliate as shown in the photo below. As there are many templates used in Thrivecart, the field might look different than the photo below but the name will appear somewhere at the very bottom of the page underneath the cart.

For Warrior+ purchases: Make sure you see my name "laramai" at the bottom of the checkout page where it says powered by Warrior Plus
