Happy Saturday!
It’s a gorgeous sunny day here in Central Ontario. Shaun’s off with his girlfriend today, but tomorrow they’re coming to take me out for a barbecue in the park. I haven’t had a barbecue in years, so I’m really looking forward to the downtime and spending time outside.
For today, though, I have been up working since 4 a.m. this morning. And I have a very cool Mother’s Day Sale for you.
I’ve taken 12 of my bonus products that have been retired and put them together on a sales page. Inspired by a conversation I had with a friend that got me thinking about trips to the 5 and dime store with my mom, I have priced all 12 at either $5 or $10 and included a bundle option where you can grab all 12 products for $47.
Get all the details here: Mother’s Day Five and 10 Sale
Today’s Read: 12 Tips for Creating Your Content Marketing Plan
One thing I’ve learned in my 20+ years online is that things flow much more smoothly when you have a content marketing plan. There is always a lot to say and to share, and if you don’t have a plan, you can end up going down roads that you never intended to travel.
In order to create and develop your content marketing plan, there are some things you need to keep in mind if you want to get it right. Some of these are common sense, and some you’ll no doubt have heard before, but the all bear repeating. And yes, I made you a list!
Here are 12 tips to keep in mind when creating your content marketing plan:
Set goals – Before you produce one piece of content, you really do need to understand the purpose of it. Set different goals for each promotion and for your business overall to help you figure out what to publish and where.

Three Things I’m Excited About Today…
Thing 1 – Price Rollback for the Kitchen Sink Plus (Plus Bonus)
Always one to go against the mainstream, why should Melody be any different this time? When everyone else is raising prices and trying to keep up with inflation, she’s rolled the price of the Kitchen Sink Plus membership back to only $27 a month. For that you get:
- All Products will ONLY be available through the Membership – these will never be sold anywhere else!!
- A New Limited Edition Digital Planner
- A New Limited Edition Printable Planner
- A New Limited Edition Lead Magnet
- A Layered PSD File to create your own covers (at least 10 Layers)
- PNG versions of the layers for use on Canva!
- Done-for-You Covers
- Monthly LIVE Workshop
- Surprise additions every month to complement that month’s planners!
Bonus Offer: My bonus for this is a set of new digital papers that complement the month’s planners and backgrounds. I’m a little behind on getting these done, but they will be added to your members area as I get them finished. You will have them all by the time May’s content is ready. (It’s a definite sign of burnout and exhaustion when I don’t even have the energy to make papers, because as you probably know… making digital papers is my happy place!)
Thing 2 – A Live Repurposing Workshop For You (Plus Bonus)
The third thing I’m excited about is this live content repurposing workshop…. And no, it’s not by me!
My friend Jennifer Burke is a content repurposing queen and there are days when I wish she’d get out of my head! The headline for her latest live workshop goes like this…
Are You Tired of the Hamster Wheel of Content Creation?
And if you were on the recent Printable Publishers Round Tables, you’ll know that getting off the hamster wheel and stopping the burnout are what I’m all about this year!
So I was really excited to see that for two days next week – May 10 and 11 – Jennifer is offering a Content Repurposing Mojo live workshop!
Jennifer walks her talk, and in these two live sessions she’s going to show you what she has learned about content repurposing and how to successfully make it a consistent, planned part of your business.

Thing 3 – Small Business SEO Masterclass from Content Sparks
I have to be honest here, I’ve never been a huge believer in SEO. But lately I’m changing my tune since I’ve started getting back into blogging and SEO is a huge part of a successful blog. Taking courses and talking to other people about their success with SEO has made it worth exploring for me this year, and I am absolutely loving Rank Math as an SEO tool for my blog posts.
So I’m really excited to get my hands on Sharyn’s new Small Business SEO Masterclass DFY Content. This is one of her full packages and is on sale for $97 (you save $200) through Wednesday, May 11.
The content covers how to:

April has a new set of Canva templates available with either regular PLR rights ($27) or developer rights ($47). I don’t do a lot in Canva, but 123 templates in 10 categories was just too much for me to pass up, so of course I grabbed the developer’s license!
