Happy Sunday!
It’s another chilly day here in Central Ontario. I think any chance of more warm days is probably gone for this year now. Shaun and I have a tee time for tomorrow afternoon, and that will probably be the last golf we get in this year. I’m hoping not, but also not planning any more unless he can get more days off this month.
Coloring Patterns Monthly Update
I have all the patterns done now for this month. They just need to be cleaned and uploaded, and I will get that done this afternoon. I’ll upload the replay for this month’s call, and the registration link for next month’s call at the same time so everything should be there for you either later this evening or first thing Monday morning. This is also your last chance to get the Fall Zen-Style Coloring Pages, as I’ll be changing those out for something new tomorrow as well.

Top Picks This Week
Pick #1 – Affinity Training on Sale! Catherine is celebrating the first anniversary of her flagship Create Printables in Affinity training through the month of October. You can choose from either the single course or the Affinity Course Bundle and save $30 with code ANNIVERSARY.
The bundle includes 4 courses:

Catherine is my go-to person for all things Affinity, and I have all of these courses (and have used them!)
Pick #2 – 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.

New! Bookwise Theme from Thrive Themes – This is a brand-new theme for building out an author website. If you’re wanting to sell your own planners and other books from your own site, this will help. I use Thrive Theme Builder on my new blog, and once I figured out how to use it, it was a snap to create a design that’s fairly unique to me. There are a couple of options for checking it out:
Option #1 – Register for the free “How to Build An Impressive Indie Author Website” workshop
Option #2 – Checkout the Bookwise theme and get a free 14-day test drive of the Thrive Suite.
Ez Pub Profits is a guide for KDP publishers that shares research, trending topics, holidays, and product interiors that you can use to create books for KDP. They work 2 months out, so this month’s guide covers topics to publish in December. It’s one of my must have purchases every month, and a steal at only $10.
Low Content Intel is the monthly low-content report from Amy Smereck where she researches a different type of low content category every month. This is another of my go-to research tools every month, and the October issue on Journals is now available.

I had a look through it this morning, and it’s definitely something I’ll be adding to my publishing calendar. Andy walks you through the whole process from picking your niche, to finding images to use, how to make them unique, and how to put your books together.
He’s also included a couple of helpful bonuses including keyword reports, book creation templates, and a list of sites where you can find free stock photos and images for your books.
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.

That’s it for me this morning. I’ve got a breakfast casserole in the oven and it should be done shortly. Shaun and the girlfriend are in town for his bike race this morning, and I have no idea if they’re coming here afterward or not, so I made enough to feed us all! And if they don’t… more leftovers for me.
Have an amazing day/evening! Create what makes your heart happy!
