🌸 Belated shots of the pink moon + a much needed timeout

Published 18 days agoΒ β€’Β 30 min read

Hi Reader,
​
A few nights ago, I ventured down to the lake to check out the full moon. However, the second anniversary of my newsletter swept in and took over so I'm including pics today.
​
My friend who usually accompanies me every month couldn't attend so my hubby begrudgingly came along. He was missing the baseball game but since it was well after 9 pm and it's so dark down by the water (and the path isn't lit) he didn't want me going alone.
​
The two previous nights were either overcast or raining so this was my last attempt. Luckily, we hit the jackpot as the skies were clear. The funny thing? Even though this month's moon is called the Pink Moon, it wasn't really pink at all! More of an orange red tone.

This is the best I could do with my iPhone. The picture at the top of this email is one that my hubby snuck of me while I took pictures of the moon ad nauseum. 🀣
​
I kind of love the way it turned, even though he has an iPhone as well and the moon is a bit of a blob. I love that you can see stars in the background! Or maybe that's a planet? I didn't notice it at the time so I didn't think to use my app which identifies stars/constellations in the sky. I'll be sharing some cool apps I use that enhance my enjoyment of the great outdoors with you soon.
​
Next month's moon is the Flower Moon so I'm excited to see how that one turns out.
​
Just to note, I was going to continue celebrating my second anniversary with more deals and paper packs but since it's my son's birthday, I've decided to relax and take the week off. The paper packs can wait, after all. However, if there's anything you'd ever like to see me create, feel free to drop me a line!
​
If you need to reach me this week for whatever reason, hit reply and cc: me at talesfromtherouge@gmail.com as my hosting provider still hasn't sorted out my forwarding issues. Just keep in mind I'm going to be taking the week off so expect a reply after May 6th. πŸ’—

LIFETIME DEAL OF THE CENTURY​
​
Last week, 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:

βœ… Record new ideas, family moments, meetings, podcast takeaways, anything.

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

βœ… 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:

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.
​
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.

SUMMER TREATS

Katherine's newest kit in her Limitless Design Kits Monthly Membership has just arrived.​
​
​
This month's Summer Treats Design Kit is a vibrant collection of elements designed to capture summertime's carefree spirit and joyous energy. Summer is a relatively short season that often sneaks up on us designers so Katherine wanted you to have this kit in ample time to prepare your creations.
​
Whether you're designing summer supplemental educational content, crafting vacation-themed social media posts, or simply want to add a splash of sunshine to your designs, this kit has everything you need for bright and cheerful creations.
​
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.

My friend Michelle Rohr is back with a gorgeous new product called the Blog Post Template Kit featuring 50 stunning image templates.
​
Michelle created the Blog Post Template Kit for herself after finding that it was taking too long to create attractive Pinterest-friendly graphics for her blog posts. She decided to create 50 different designs to pick and choose from and offer it to her rabidly obsessed fans!

Now you can get your hands on the same templates she uses. These will save you a ton of time and get eyes on your blog.
​
Right now, you can grab this kit for $30.

✨BONUS - If you purchase Michelle's new Blog Template Kit, choose a deluxe bonus from my bonus page.

COOL NEW GOODIES AT CLUB PIN!
​
​
My pal Melanie Dougherty has just posted about the fresh goodies that will be coming out for May over at Club Pin.
​
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

Members will receive April's Products as a BONUS!! 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.


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


​

​GET ON THE WAITLIST​

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.)
​
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. Click here if you want to learn more about that training.

Butterfly Landing Pad ;-) Hi Reader,Happy Friday! How has your week been? I'm super excited to have the nicer weather upon us! As promised, I wanted to tell you more about our visit to Niagara Falls. Usually we don't do touristy stuff but this time, we hit a few spots. The Bird Kingdom was one of them but today I want to tell you about the Butterfly Conservatory - both of which I've always wanted to check out. The latter is located on the grounds of the Niagara Parks School of Horticulture in...

Hi Reader,I'm still recovering from our trip to Niagara Falls. We had an amazing time and it was pretty low key, but for some reason, I haven't been able to get my groove back yet. It's taken more time to recover than the amount of time we were actually away. 🀣We did pack a lot into four days - and some of those days we walked almost 20k steps! That might be close to a record.As I mentioned last time, halfway through our stay, my son said he didn't want to go to the waterpark. A part of me...

Hi Reader,I am back from my break. We took a few days off to celebrate my son's birthday which was a real treat for all of us. Besides checking once a day for any emergencies, I enjoyed time away from the computer and didn't write any emails which was new territory for me. We went for an extended trip to Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls which is my son's favorite place in the world. I upgraded our reservation and booked a suite which is situated on two floors. Why? So he can throw his...
