Happy Sunday!

It’s been a busy week here this week. Between zoom calls every day I’ve been working on new KDP books, planning out the rest of this year, and the start of next year, and working on a new website. But I’m happy to announce that the stickers I offered as a bonus for Mel’s new planners are finally ready and in your Warrior Plus download area for you. I’d still like to add a few more things to the pack, so stay tuned to this space and I’ll update you whenever I add to it.

It was also an interesting week in terms of newsletters and email marketing. I have never been one to send a lot of solo emails, but this week I was so excited about both our launch and about Amy’s Easy Repeat and Sell Designs that I set out two different solo mails. And the results were very interesting – the opens and clicks on the solos outperformed the daily newsletter by about 4.5 to 1

The other thing that surprised me about them was that I actually enjoyed writing them! Having only one or two products in an email gives me a chance to go more in depth into why I like one product over another and give you more examples of how I would use the content or templates instead of trying to cram everything into the one big email.

I know, and you know, that I’ve been saying that I don’t like the laundry list format much anymore, but I’ve been struggling with how to change that. FOMO is a real thing for me, and I hate not being the one to tell you about ALL the goodies! I think the experiments this week have given me a good idea on how to restructure the newsletter so that you get better information from me on why I think something is worth your time to look at.

But, we’ll still keep the Sunday and Wednesday Roundups so I can share all the goodies a couple of times a week!

And on that note, here’s what I have for you this morning…

I haven’t seen this one yet, but I’ll be buying it for myself while it’s on sale this week.

What’s Coming Next Week

After the huge number of new releases this week, it looks like next week is going to be a little slower. I’ll have a full list of all the month-end deals ending tomorrow for you, but I don’t think I have anything new on the calendar. On Tuesday, Jenn will open the doors to her Monthly Printables Club for 7 days, and she’ll also have new content available on her Passion for PLR site as well. Gabby’s Transforming Lives Bundle starts on Tuesday, and on Thursday, the Addicted to Planning Bundle starts.

Other new releases that I know of this week include new content from Piggy Makes Bank on Tuesday, and Thrive Anywhere and Ekit Hub on Thursday. And that’s all I know about so far.  

As well on Tuesday, there will be a lot of new membership content added since it’s the first of the month.

As for me, the 2023 Planners launch ends on Tuesday, and I’ll have a new set of products into the shop for you by Wednesday. They’re all ready to go, I just have to make the sales pages for them. But since I use Thrive Architect and have a template they’re pretty easy to set up now. As well, I’ve got a couple of zooms this week – on Wednesday is the monthly call for Coloring Patterns Monthly members. In addition to answering questions, we’re going to talk about how to use the patterns with Amy’s training. And then on Friday is the bonus call for Amy’s training itself. And somewhere in there I’ll be getting stuff ready for a new Diva event (details to come), my Black Friday deal and getting ready for the live workshops in December.

All in all, it’s just another week in Ruthie’s world! Oh, and I joined an “old lady fitness class” that my chiropractor is offering and that starts tomorrow morning!

That’s all I have for now. I’m off to start uploading the sticker packs and grab some breakfast.

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