Fuzzy mid-week feels + Over 2k worth of goodies ends tonight
Published 3 months agoΒ β’Β 28 min read
Our newest addition: Zenya =)
Hi Reader,
How has your week been so far? β (This email is brought to you by my son - as he's very excited about what happened today so he wanted me to share the news with you.) β Right now, we are the proud owners of three new pets, namely jumping spiders. π€£ β My son found one of them at his school and wanted to keep it. He named it Zarina and we went to buy it an enclosure at PetSmart and some things to make her comfortable. The only problem was, Zarina was so little, she escaped. So my son found a bigger one on the side of our house and that became his new pet. He named her Zinnia. β A few days later, he found Zarina sitting on a wall by the enclosure, staring at him. He put her back in the enclosure even though I told him that Zinnia might eat Zarina, since she's so much bigger. So far, the two have been cohabitating well. They sit beside each other and chill. β Still, my son wanted a bigger, Regal jumping spider. I've been shopping for options but today, when I went on a walk with my seniors, one of the members is a spider expert. β After the walk, he went to get his tools from his car and after a few attempts at finding one, he was able to find a large, tan, female jumping spider. β When my son came home from school, the spider leapt right onto his hand and jumped from one hand to the other. Every time she would fall, she would use her web to crawl back up to get on his hand. β My son is sooo excited. He said she's super friendly, curious and seems to really enjoy climbing all over him. Oh, and he just named her. Zenya. β Btw...have I mentioned I'm terrified of spiders? π€£ β Normally I am, but I've seen the jumping spiders that my son has been taking care of and watched a lot of videos of them in the past. They really do have their own personalities, and the cutest, most adorable faces.

CRAFTY CLIP ART
Katherine's is back with her newest kit in her Limitless Design Kits Monthly Membership.β ββ 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! β 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. β 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. β 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. β 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! β 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. β 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. β 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.

LIFETIME DEAL OF THE CENTURYβ β 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. β One of them stood out immediately called Voicenotes and after I did a tiny bit of research, I RAN and signed up lightning fast. β 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. β 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. β 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. β Their new AI note-taker, Voicenotes, is an intelligent note-taking tool that allows creators and thinkers to dump their thoughts. β 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:
β Record new ideas, family moments, meetings, podcast takeaways, anything.
β Ask your AI to review past notes or brainstorm new ideas. It has perfect memory.
β Create summary, to-do list, blog post, and more using your notes. β Here are some other things it can do that are currently in the works:
β 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.
β 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).
β Apple Watch and WearOS apps (ETA May mid)
β Publish: ability to publicly share a voice note with your friends/followers. Can be even used as a lightweight-podcast.
β 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. β Its intelligence is jaw droppingly brilliant: summarizing transcripts into useful titles, finding the right answers to questions you ask it. β 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. β 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. β If you're interested in finding the link to the deal, youβll find an upgrade button on the left sidebar on the website and on the top nav-bar on mobile. β 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.)
β
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. β 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!
β¨ 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:β β 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. β βUpdate regarding bonusesβ β 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. β 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. β 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
If you're interested in learning how I use totally free and/or cheap tools to create AI generated images like the ones you see in the book above as well as my the bonuses you've seen lately as well as my newsletter banner photos, click here or the photo above. (Note: clicking this link won't take you anywhere. It just records your interest so I can make sure to notify you if and when this course becomes available - and offer it to you at the lowest price.) β Don't forget I'm still taking a poll to find out if there is interest in learning about how I created my initial tripwire landing page using entirely free tools.

Although I'm an award-winning journalist who has shot stories around the world, nothing gives me more joy than taking photos in my local stomping ground, βThe Rougeβ and turning them into illustrative art. I love sharing stories and images with my community along with free and paid resources to help others break the chains of the 9-to-5 hamster wheel to achieve a life they love.

Hi Reader,I hope you're having a wonderful Saturday! If you're one of my US readers, I hope you had a happy Fourth of July and are still in full-on celebration mode. Canada Day is a big deal for us, but not at the scale it is in the United States so I hope you're enjoying your extended long weekend.We went down to the lake to watch the fireworks as they were having a big display across the lake which we thought we'd be able to see from the beach. We got there too late though so we watched the...
A couple celebrating the Strawberry Moon π Hi Reader, Can you believe we are officially into summer now?The weather has already been hotter than hades this past week with high humidity which has made things very uncomfortable in Toronto.I think this may be the longest I've ever gone without writing a newsletter with the exception of when I'm traveling so this was highly unlike me.I was completely burnt out from going on about 4 hours a night of sleep trying to get my course finished so after...
Sailing at Rouge Beach (2021) Hi Reader, MAYBE MONDAY???For those who already signed up, just a reminder that the full course will be ready in about a week's time. If you've watched a few lessons and are confused, well there's a reason for that. Some of the lessons I uploaded weren't published and others that were supposed to be a draft only WERE. Talk about horrifying. I'm in the middle of tackling all the tech hiccups and I've been in the process of adding lessons so everything will make...
