So much for golf! Plus new goodies and talk about outsourcing

Happy Thursday!

It’s a wonderful day here in Central Ontario… if you’re a duck that is. We were supposed to go golfing this morning, but at 9 a.m. we got an email telling us that due to the amount of rain we got overnight, the course is closed for at least today, and maybe tomorrow too. So, here I am working away and Shaun’s out buying winter tires for his vehicle.

So, here’s what I have for you today…

Bonuses Are Back!

I’ve decided, since we’re getting into the holiday season, to bring the “Choose Your Own Bonus” page back for the rest of this year. I’ll be adding a few new things to the existing page over the next few days for you to choose from.

The biggest change is the delivery method. I’ve done away with the form, so you’ll have to email me your receipts along with your choice(s) and I’ll send you the direct download links.

Since I’m working on moving the PLR shop to a new domain over the next few months, this will make it easier on me with a little less to move.

Here’s the existing page: Ruthie’s Choose Your Own Bonus Page

Products That Qualify For Bonuses This Week (Quick Links)

Mitzy Thompson – Mockup Profit Multiplier
Cindy Bidar – The Course Creator’s Toolkit (today only)
Catherine – Create Printables in Affinity
Catherine – Affinity Course Bundle
Jenn – Planning Addicts – Holiday Printables Kit
(more coming as I update the list)

Cindy’s Deal of the Day (with my bonus)

Today is Day 3 of Cindy’s Business Builder Specials and today’s deal is on The Course Creator’s Toolkit. This is a set of checklists and templates to take you from inspiration to income, and get your course up for sale.

Inside the package you’ll discover how to:

Decide on a topic: If you already have ideas, you’ll clarify and refine. If you feel like you don’t have a clue, then her brainstorming technique will help you find dozens of ideas before you narrow it down to the topics you’re excited about and that will sell.
Clarify the results you’re promising: This is a huge hurdle, and if you don’t get it right, you’re going to end up with a meandering course filled with pointless rabbit trails and no clear destination. Worse, you’ll be stuck forever adding new/more/better content, because even you won’t know what fits and what doesn’t.
Assess your course delivery options: If you’re easily overwhelmed by the tech required to run an online business, then this is for you. Cindy will help you make the right choices based on your level of comfort, your budget, and most importantly – your customers’ needs.
Plan your course layout and format: Your students will struggle if your course isn’t planned out and formatted in a way that makes sense. Cindy will help you design a step-by-step training that lets them easily achieve their goals.
Get it done, already! If you’ve been thinking about or planning a course for years, and just can’t seem to find the time, then this is for you. Cindy will show you exactly how to create easy action items you can do, and where to fit them in your schedule so they actually get done instead of just cluttering up your to-do list for the next 7 months (or more).

Bonus Offer: This product qualifies for a bonus. Visit the Choose Your Bonus Page and make your choice. Then, email your receipt to me at ritchiemedia@gmail.com and put BONUS CLAIM in the subject, and your choice in the body of the email and I will send you the download link.

More Training On Sale

Note: All training in this section qualifies for a bonus choice.

Ends Tomorrow! – New Training: Mockup Profit Multiplier by Mitzy is her newest training. In this course she’s going to teach you the best ways to create mockups and how you can use them to sell more of your printables. I bought the course earlier today, but haven’t had a chance to go through it yet. Although if it’s even half as good as her first course earlier this year, it will definitely be worth the low launch price.

The course includes 7 video training lessons, 14 printable worksheets, 7 over the shoulder videos, Canva templates, and more. It’s on sale for only $19.95 through Friday, October 14.

New! One Hour Fonts is a new training from Jan at Simple Happiness. It’s been created for non-designers to help sell more printables and digital products. Personally, I’m a font junkie and I can’t wait to dig into this to learn how to use my whole collection a lot better. (Or maybe… gasp!… pare it down a bit.)

The course content covers:

the common mistakes non-designers make (the ones you don’t even know you’re making that ruin your designs!) and how to easily correct them
how to select & pair fonts with confidence
how to lay out text without making bloopers
how to save time and effort using fonts in your business

Plus you’ll get fully edited transcripts, copies of the slides and four bonus guides.

Grab your copy now and save $40 off the regular price!

New Outrageous Goalsetting Workshop from Angela Wills takes place live this Friday and I’m planning to be there with bells on! This workshop is all about your income goals and what actions you need to do to make them happen.

Today’s Read: 5 Reasons to Outsource Content Creation

If you’re like most creative business owners, you’re always on the lookout for new and innovative ways to create content that will resonate with your audience. After all, without fresh, engaging, and relevant content, it’s hard to keep people interested in what you have to offer. This is where outsourcing content creation can be a huge benefit to your business.

Here are 5 reasons why you might want to outsource content creation:

Reason #1: You’ll always have fresh ideas

A team of writers working on your behalf will ensure that you’ll always have a fresh supply of new ideas to keep your audience engaged. Plus, since each writer will have their own unique perspective, you’re likely to get a wider range of ideas than if you were generating them all yourself.

That’s it for me today. I’m going to work on my projects for a bit until Shaun gets home, and then I’m hoping I can convince him to move the living room furniture around before he takes off again tonight.

Have an amazing day/evening! Create what makes your heart happy!
