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 BC Stack ended, I had to decompress as I was feeling exhausted and unwell.
​
Of course it couldn't have happened at a worse time as I was planning on delivering the bulk of my lessons for my new course which was launched to BC Stack purchasers. I expected to have those elements available to students by June 24th as well as some very patient readers who received the course as a bonus.
​
I know that pushing myself to create when I'm feeling terrible serves absolutely no one. I know the best thing I could do for myself, and for my readers and students, is to take the time I needed to recover.
​
Still, I can't help but work so I've been trying to do as much as my body will allow. Even though I was still feeling a little wobbly I did manage to finally venture out on Friday, which was the official start of the full moon (aka the Strawberry moon.)
​
After my walk, the friend that I was with told me that he has had Covid for the last two weeks! He didn't bother to tell me this information before our walk, or while he was sitting beside me coughing.
​
When I asked him why he didn't tell me that information he said, "Oh, I tested negative. I'm fine." 😲
​
I woke up yesterday with a fever and a sore throat. So yay. Suffice it to say, I don't think I will be venturing out with that person to see the moon, or anything else.
​
I'm still not sure if I'm sick but I wasn't feel fantastic to begin with but this doesn't help expedite the mountain of work I have to do.
​
For those who already signed up, or are still waiting for this course, my goal was to have the majority of the elements ready by yesterday, but that obviously will need to get pushed back slightly due to multiple setbacks so I profusely apologize in advance for the delay.
​
I was also hoping to offer a link to get access to my new course at a really great, reader-only deal but I want to share that when I get more of those pieces put into place.
​
First tech snafus, then health snafus - hopefully we've gotten everything out of the way and things can move along as hoped soon, right? 😅

​

​

ENDS SOON: NO COMMITMENT!
​
​There's less than two days left to take advantage of Leonie Dawson's super affordable, no commitment, Brilliant Biz Academy payment plans​. If you were interested but kind of on the fence, I love Leonie so much, I've added some new bonuses to sweeten the deal.​
​
​This is the first time in ten years that Leonie has offered a monthly payment plan option, and it's going away again in a hot minute!

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 yet another membership?
​
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 check out a few of her high ticket courses, this is the perfect way to make use of her membership with no ties.

Plus this month alone, you'll also receive access to a ton of brand spanking new content such as a fabulous biz basics workshop replay, gorgeous templates and blazing hot guest experts such as founder of BiddyTarot.com (the world’s largest tarot website) Brigit Esselmont's Tarot for Business workshop.

Brigit is best known as the best-selling author of Everyday Tarot and founder of Biddy Tarot. An intuitive entrepreneur, Brigit has helped millions of people all around the world discover how to trust their intuition, access their inner power, and bring the Divine into their everyday life, using Tarot as a guide.

Brigit's story:
"When I found Leonie Dawson and the Academy back in 2012, it was exactly what I needed. I had just quit my corporate job to become a full-time Tarot reader – and everyone thought I was crazy. But, not Leonie.
​
​Leonie inspired me to embrace my creativity as an entrepreneur, set wildly outrageous goals, and get sh*t done – all to create the 7-figure business I have now.
​
​She’s the cheerleader, buttkicker, and profoundly-deep-question-asker you need in your business and personal life. The best thing about Leonie is her infectious energy. She’s like the human equivalent of a triple espresso shot. You can’t help but feel motivated and inspired when you’re around her."
​
​– Brigit Esselmont, founder of BiddyTarot.com
(the world’s largest tarot website)​
​
Leonie has taught tens of thousands of students with rave reviews and seen them go on to build 6 and 7 figure businesses of their own, create popular e-courses, and publish books that have shot to the top of the Amazon best-seller list.
​
Leonie's students stay with her for DECADES because they KNOW that she ALWAYS overdeliver and helps them create WAY more income than any money they ever spend with her.
​​
​In her membership, there's only one wrong way to use the Academy and that's to not use it at all.

Grab this deal for $29 a month, but hurry, because Leonie is doing a trial run of this offer so it may never see the light of day again.

And if you know you're going to 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.

This one-time offer is only available until June 27th. Make sure you check out my new bonuses below if you were thinking of jumping in!

✨BONUS 1 - If you purchase the monthly plan, choose a one-time deluxe bonus from anything on my shop page.
​​
​Please note my bonus structure is in the process of changing so bear with me as I transition.​
​​
​As of now, it will be:​
​Regular bonuses = Anything below $27
Deluxe = $27 - 37
Deluxe x 2 = $47 and $47
Deluxe x 3 = $67​
​
My bonuses do not expire so you can save them for another time. I'm going to continue to refine the process and will update you on that soon.
​
✨BONUS 2 - If you decide to opt for the yearly, choose six deluxe bonuses AND I'll also throw in the following extra goodies which are BRAND SPANKING NEW (as of June 25th):

The Abstract Watercolor Peony bundle - 10 piece collection in 8 x 10" 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.

✨BONUS 3 - I'll throw in a second 10 piece set: The Abstract Watercolor Colorful Peony bundle consisting of 8 x 10" abstract, modern art prints. These are similar to the first but with a different set of color palettes for added variation.

These also 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 collections 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 $200) 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 over after I have completed it on or after July 3rd.

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?

Katherine's is back with her newest kit in her Limitless Design Kits Monthly Membership​

This month's charming and cheerful Garden Grows Design Kit is sure to spark a touch of joy in your projects. This kit is a celebration of lazy summers and simple pleasures and was quite frankly so much fun to create. Whether you're designing seed packet labels, crafting garden-themed greeting cards, or simply want to add a touch of natural whimsy to any of your designs, this kit has you covered.
​
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.

SAY HELLO TO A NEW LOOK!
​​
Melanie 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.

​
​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!
​

If you've held off on picking up their yearly All Access Membership which is currently on sale for the lowest price they've ever offered it ($47/year - 3.99 a month ) and prefer purchasing your graphics outright, this is one of my favorite promotions to stock up on to stretch your dollar even further.
​

BONUS UPDATE:​
​
Check out my bonus page here. My bonuses do not have an expiry.
​
​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.
