Happy Monday!
There’s definitely something to be said for intentionally relaxing on the weekends! I woke up feeling rested and refreshed, and my fasting numbers were almost down to normal this morning. And the only thing I did differently this weekend was not force myself to do a full day of work both days.
Shaun and the GF came over last night and did some fixing of things for me. While they were here, they also cleaned out more of his room in preparation for fixing it up as my office! I told them that can be my Mother’s Day present so they don’t go spending money they don’t have on other things. I’ll be very happy when that’s all done, because with a door that can be closed I can be even more intentional about my time off!
Coloring Patterns Monthly is Live!
One of the things I’ll be focusing on for the next 3 months is growing the membership. I quietly launched the new and improved Coloring Patterns Monthly 2.0 on Friday, just to the members that were with me when the original version closed. And at the time I thought I’d open the doors to everyone tomorrow, but I’m so excited about the new additions, that I can’t wait to tell you. So, since you’re here, let me share what’s new and improved about this version. For only $9 a month you are getting:
- 30 coloring patterns (up from 25)
- A monthly pre-recorded training on different ways to use the patterns, create products, and grow your business.
- A brand new members only community where you can ask questions and get feedback.
- A monthly challenge
- A members only coupon for 30% off anything else in my shop
I have other items in the works to add as well, but they’re not completely fleshed out in my mind yet so I’m not quite ready to list them here yet.
If you want to check out the membership and see the first month’s patterns, you can do that here:
Today’s Read: 6 Ways to Make a “Biz in a Box” PLR Package Your Own
Note: I’ve been sharing a lot of “biz in a box” style packages with you lately, so I thought today I’d dig up an article from the archives on how to make some easy changes to them. I’ll have more on this, including case studies coming up on the new blog.
Biz in a box style PLR packages are a popular option for bloggers and content creators who want to have everything done in one co-ordinating package. These packages usually include everything from products to graphics and even sales pages and download pages. And they often sell for fairly low prices. It might seem like the perfect thing to use to create products and market them, but the truth is that purchasing a ‘biz in a box’ package can be a bit of a double-edged sword.
On the one hand, you receive many different components and quite a bit of written content that you can use and sell as your own.
On the other hand, you’ll need to set it all up and also rebrand the PLR so that it looks NOTHING like the original PLR you purchased.
The good news is that it can be done. And if you take the time to set this up as a system, you can have your PLR up and ready to generate income for you with a minimum of fuss.
Here are 6 things you should do to make these “biz in a box” packages your own.
Top Pick Today
Ends Tomorrow!! – Simple Content Funnels That Sell from Karon Thackston is my top pick for today. It’s on sale for $29 (reg. $47) through Tuesday, March 28. No coupon required.
The content covers:
- What Are Simple Content Funnels & Why They Work – Most people think of opt-in funnels with a freebie and follow up emails. That’s certainly one way to do it but there are many other ways that are frankly much easier.
- Simple Content Funnel Examples – You’ll get inspiration and ideas from these real-life examples that people are earning from right now.
- Choosing Your Content – You can always start from scratch, but why? If you already have existing content, I’ll show you how to use that to create all the content you need for your funnels fast!
- Pick Your Channels –This step is as flexible as your imagination and can incorporate whichever channels you are already on or want to be on (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, blogs, email, podcasts, etc.).
- Set Your Funnels in Motion – You’ll use the logical flow of your funnels to kick off the process that will attract buyers on autopilot and produce passive income for you 24/7.
I’ve been thinking about funnels a lot lately, and how I can incorporate them into my new site. So, I’m really glad to see this training from Karon on creating simple content-based funnels to boost sales. I’ll be picking this up for myself so I can see what she’s doing.
