This is a graphic I did a looooooooong time ago. Just messing around, ya know. Time to ACT!! |
My mission is learning and growing, in all aspects of my life. And sometimes that includes a well spoken . . . WTBF?! My goal for my business for November is to learn all I can to get starting making, promoting and selling my digital delights! I want them out in the world working for me! So that means, I can't keep doing things the same way, right? I want to change it, make it happen and move forward!
It is my pleasure to let you know about an awesome course that a very smart biz lady, mentor and my online friend is teaching on Creative Live. It's the same one I posted about on my facebook page on October 21. www.creativelive.com + April Bowles of www.blacksburgbelle.com = LOVE!
April Bowles-Olin is returning to CreativeLive November 10-12 for "Create Digital Products That Sell While You Sleep and Make Your Creative Business Uniquely Irresistible". To kick off the class, April and her friends (one of them's me!) have created an amazing blog tour, through the end of the month.
This is just a graphic I already had made stored in my digital vault. I thought it was cool cause it had her name! |
April asked if we could pick a topic relating to her workshop and invited us to do a blog tour with her. Ummmmm . . . yes, please. There are over 50 participants and all of their posts are linked on Creative Live Blog here. There is a HUGE amount of knowledge from these various entrepreneurs and I am plowing through them one by one, so worth it. :) This is another course she did back In May, I believe of this year! She rocked it, you totally need to watch it if you are even thinking of starting a blog! Quit thinking about it and DO IT! Her course will help you immensely! Here's that link here. If you want to join me live in the course chat room (my code name is "Super Nancy", pretty cool, huh?) be sure to RSVP for the FREE course and mark your calendars for Nov 10-12.
So here are the topic(s) I chose to address.
a) What you’d love to learn from my upcoming course, Create Digital Products that Sell While You Sleep. b) The biggest questions you have when it comes to selling digital or information products. d) Why you want to learn how to create and sell digital products.
I want to learn the abc's and 123's of it. I want be able to add it to my business seamlessly. I want things systematized so that once I've created the logo, blog graphic, printable DIY Project Life cards, planner pages or whatever my creatively overloaded brain can come up with . . . it will be easy for both myself and my market peeps to put it up online and to download it and everybody has a happy transaction.
I'll make it, April. Now what, and then what, and then what? Like that, walk me through it, give me templates, give me a workbook and give me lots of examples of what to do, what works and what not to do, what sucks. Hold my hand. :)
I would love to offer digital products for lots of reasons. First, I love, love, LOVE making them! From the idea, to the sketch, to the designing it further on the computer to putting it on my blog or on a tangible product to sell. And all the trial and error and iterations from beginning to end, well, to me it's just a dang good time! I guess it's like techy crafting!
I would love to help my target peeps "kewtify" their blogs or other social media sites, make their organizing and planning notebooks and accessories more fun and pleasing to look at, so they will want to use them! (It has to be cute for me or I loose interest, I need that little extra visual appeal, ya know?)
And just imagining multiple revenue streams and passive income while I sleep, well that could do nothing but enhance my slumber time, even more that a belly full of Ben and Jerrys. I can imagine sitting down with a cup of coffee and my smart phone and peeking with one eye at my overnight sales and smiling and thinking "this is pretty flippen' cool", then shooting off an email saying . . . Thanks, April, you rocked it again!
Soooooo, if any of my target peeps are reading this blog post, what can I make for you? What have you always wanted for your blog or website or store? Some hang tags for your crocheted lovelies, business cards designed like you really had imagined? Maybe a personalized planner notebook just how you want it or a new facebook cover page? Let's chat! I've got my suitcase packed with my ideas and now I am really excited to hear yours! Unpack them in the comments and let me play!
“Are you ready to make your creative work more lucrative, stable, and sustainable in the long-term? Join April Bowles-Olin for an introduction to digital products and how they can enhance your creative business. This course will show you how to produce and position viable products for generating multiple revenue streams and passive income. RSVP right here to watch it live and get access to the workbook for FREE. This post is part of the Create Digital Products blog tour.”
I love your writing style - makes me feel like we are chatting over coffee. Great post on on April's course and what you are looking to get out of the class. It's so interesting to read about everyone's goals for the class. Now, I'm really looking forward to April's class! See you there!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy, that's so nice to hear. I notice from your lovely blog, that you don't live that far. It's not totally unlikely that we could hook up for some coffee and craft chat one day! I'm game!
DeleteI've been wanting to learn about all this digital selling stuff for a long, long time! April is going to rock it! Look forward to seeing you in the chat room!
Wonderful post! I agree with Cathy, it's like we are chatting over something lovable to drink :) I would love to see some tags hanging from a bundle of scented sachets. It would also be lovely to have some digital loveliness that I could turn into scrabble tiles :) Oh Joy!
ReplyDeleteThank you, my lovely! Can I get you a beverage? Hmmmm . . . . I am in Arizona right now, so I'm thinking maybe a lemonade! How about you?
DeleteYour ideas are great! I sew love making the digitals and would love to incorporate them into my business. I've got a million ideas! :)
Can't wait to start rocking the printables!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm in love with that bunting suitcase.
I've been waiting on this course for about 6 years now and finally the right instructor has shown up! Yay April!

DeleteLovely post, Nancy! I 'stole' some tidbits for my notes because i want to know all of those things too! I absolutely ADORE your whimsical style. When you are discovered and end up being a famous stylist in all the magazines, don't forget about us (:
ReplyDeleteI better hear that name "Super Nancy" come up a lot during the course!! xo
Thanks, Richelle! Steal away, girlfriend. Mi casa su casa. :)
DeleteThing is though, Red, I don't want to be a famous stylist in all the mags, not my thing that! So, when they are beating down my door, I'm sending them over to your place instead! Tell Lola not to bite them!
Oh yeah, you will see me nuff! I am so excited! I am going to take lots of pictures of you guys on my computer screen, and it's going to be one of the funnest blog posts to do that I can imagine!!

Isn't Creative Live amazing? Thanks for stopping by! xoxoxo
DeleteGreat post! You know, Nancy, you could totally sell a digital product on how to be an online supporter - there are plenty of us lesser folk who wish we could be as connected and kind as you are! (BTW, still waiting on the colab email!)
ReplyDeleteThank you, my dear! But puh-lease . . . lesser folk my banoonies! I think you are amazing and so do a whole bunch of peeps who know you and a whole bunch who soon will! Now zip the lesser folk crap, got it? Okay, I'm done. ;) and thanks, for real Jenny, that means a lot! (I totally haven't forgotten about that for a minute, don't get your yarn all knotted up)

DeleteI agree with everyone…your writing is open and fun and personality-filled. It's lovely to read. I'm gonna do my absolute best to ensure that you've got all the tools you need to make those digital products a reality.
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for joining the blog tour. Your post was really fun to read!
Well, thanks so much, April! I'm so super excited about this course! I'm glad there are so many people I know in the live class and in the chatroom. It's going to be amazing!

I love your blog post and had no idea you did these graphics too. You are one talented lady! I can't wait for the course, it is in a busy time of my year, but I am going to do my best to watch as much as possible live and the rest on the recording.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Belinda, I appreciate you stopping by! I've been doing graphics for myself for a long time, but for some reason it seemed it would be so hard to figure out how to market/sell them, ya know? But now I am ready to knock it out of the ballpark! It's going to be an awesome course! I just went ahead a bought it cause I think it's going to be one of my best biz investments ever!

WTBF - love it :) I am so going to share this with my kids when they get home from school today. First, heartiest congrats on being a winner in April's blog tour. I am so excited for you! I don't know how I missed your post first time round (but I'm guessing it may have had something to do with my son getting himself knocked out playing sport at school folloowed by three days of concussion). I am so glad that I found you second time round though because I just love your style. I think Richelle nailed it with "whimsical". Your designs just make me want to smile and your passion for your craft just shines through. Hope to see you in the chat room!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne-Marie!
DeleteThanks so much for you super nice comments and congrats! It sure was exciting to win on April's blog tour! WTBF! It still is! Stay tuned and maybe even follow my blog, cause I've decided I'm going to do a giveaway of April's course later this month, after it airs . . . and peeps see what an awesome course it is!

Congratulations on winning this course! It is always lovely to see someone I "know" on line who wins stuff! I think with all you have been through with your move and downscale, this will be so good for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch, Belinda! It really is a SUPER big deal to me to win the course! Very cool! I was just telling Anne-Marie in the comment above that I'm going to do a giveaway of my WIN, since I already purchased it last week! :) I suppose they would give me a refund, but I think I like this idea LOTS better, ya know? Thanks for stopping by Belinda, and sign up with my blog feed so you'll know when the giveaway will be happening! : )
