Email Practice Club
So, it’s one thing for me to teach about list building, but when it comes to actually writing emails that are more than laundry lists, I fall a little short. So I’m very happy to announce that my friend and former coach, Angela Wills has just launched her Email Practice Club. Each month, you get email prompts, a live training, and a live Q and A session for $25/month. You can also choose the annual option if you prefer that.

Creating Coloring Pages in Affinity Designer
The Creating a Coloring Book with Affinity Designer course from my friend Kerie Hinchliffe is a good one for you if you’re wanting to create your own images for your coloring books. I’ve gotten through the first module where she goes through where to find images, and what file types to look for. I’ve also got through pieces of the second module where she talks about the parts of Affinity Designer we’ll be using in the rest of the course. I really like how clearly Kerie explains everything and even though I’ve used Designer for a few things, I’m learning a lot in this course that’s going to help me with publishing my own coloring books down the road.
