Staying focused can be one of the hardest things to do when you work online. You know what you need to do, you have tons of ideas to work with, or several projects in the works, but there's a constant stream of distractions and endless ways to procrastinate... enticing you to jump from one thing to another all day, until you reach the end of the day with NOTHING on your priority task list actually DONE.

* Those things on your "priority task list" should all be business-building actions, or "money tasks" as I like to call them. 😉

Monday Mission:
Micro-Tasking (Single Task Focus!)

1. Know your objective and your priorities

When you know exactly what you want to accomplish, you can easily create a list of tasks to achieve that goal.

2. Choose one project to work on, and COMPLETE it.

You'll have multiple products, projects and ideas for your business at any given time. There are always a lot of moving parts and pieces to running an online business. Not sure where to start with it all? Pick ONE thing and knock it out! Then move on to the next.

3. Create an "Action Steps" list to complete that project or product.

TIP: break that list down into micro-tasks, in the order they need to be done, then start at the top and do ONE simple task at a time. Every single thing you mark off the list, even the smallest thing, will give you a sense of accomplishment and create momentum to help you power through the project!

4. TUNE OUT & TURN OFF

Turn off all distractions, silence notifications, close browsers or programs you're not using for the task at hand, and FOCUS ON ONE THING all the way through to completion!

5. Work in Time Blocks

I find it helps most to create a schedule or routine of working in Time Blocks. This is especially useful if you're working on multiple projects, or juggling a variety of things in your growing business.

Set aside uninterrupted "focus time" for content creation, product creation, social media marketing, list building, learning, outreach/connecting/recruiting, etc.

6. Be your own BOSS

Are you doing a lot of personal stuff while you're on the clock? Are you making the company money, or costing the company time & money?

If YOU were your own boss (oh wait! you are!)... would you fire you, or promote you - and give you a big fat raise for being such an amazing asset to the business?

I would love to hear YOUR tricks for staying on task, and staying focused on your goals!

Happy Monday!

Here's to a super productive week, flying through your task list, one single micro-task at a time.

Best,

"Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities." ~Gloria Steinem

Do you make lists, use a digital planner, mindmaps, a whiteboard, spreadsheets, are you a doodler or do you GEEK OUT over planners & journals and have a creative flair for planning - or do you WISH you did?

What's your goal planning style?!

MY goal planning strategy hasn't been working for me...

So it's time for a change!

I've had a successful, profitable business for over 23 years, so obviously what I'm doing IS working - to an extent, at least. 😉

What I'm finding though, is no matter how productive or how profitable my day is, I'm not getting to the BIG goals. Or I haven't been making room in my schedule or routine for the things I really want to accomplish in my life & business.

Do you get caught up in the "dailies" just checking off tasks?

More often than not, that's me.

I've been using Evernote for quite a few years now, mainly because it syncs EVERYTHING (all my projects, my grocery list, you name it) across ALL my mobile devices & laptop computers.

It has a lot of great features including checklists, goal templates and nested notebooks to keep all of your projects neatly organized and easily accessible.

But lately I've been craving a more hands-on goal setting and goal planning experience, with more visual inspiration.

I'm keeping Evernote (because it works!) but I'm adding in hands-on paper journals & goal planners with lots of color & creativity. ‍ - which is proving to bring back the FUN to goal setting & project planning!

Here's what is currently spread out across my planning desk:

First, my two FAVORITE goal-setting planners...

I always pick UNDATED planners & journals, by the way. What about you - do you prefer dated day-planner style, or something you can pick back up anytime without losing dating pages?

Dated or Undated, comes in a variety of colors & cover styles: Deluxe Law of Attraction Life Planner - A 12 Month Journey to Increase Productivity, Passion, Purpose & Happiness - Happy Weekly Goal Planner, Organizer & Gratitude Journal + Planner Stickers (LOVE this one!)

TOP Favorite: "Life Coach In A Book" undated 90-day Motivation & Success Planner for SERIOUS fast-track goal planning!

Over 200 unique stickers, handrawn & FUN for inspiration and positivity, to liven up my journaling & planning with lots of COLOR and pick-me-ups!

ERASABLE gel pens in lots of colors - because I was nervous about messing up my journal w/ink and erasable pens gave me the FREEDOM to PLAY in my goal planners more!

Fun stencils, to liven things up in my planners or journal pages - and also to use on other creative projects (flower pots, picture frames, etc). Love these!

Because I wanted to get COLORFUL about it!!

I recently ordered this blog planner & book set but haven't had a chance to dig in yet: CREATE Blog and Editorial Planner: Create Exceptional Content, Get More Done and Smash Through Your Blogging Goals

+ Intensive Biz Playbook & Planner: Scale Your Online Business, Create Explosive Growth and Build a Brand You Crave

ALL the stickers!

Planner Stickers - Wake Up Kick Ass (Set of 150 Stickers)

Classic Sticker Book Edition 4 (492 Stickers). Decorative and Cute Stickers for Customizing Planners, Notebooks, and More

Essentials Weekly Planner Stickers (Set of 575 Stickers)

Creative Planner Stickers (1k+ pcs Value Pack) - New Functional & Decorative Designer Stickers for Bullet Journals, Planners & Calendars for Happy Planning

That's a quick tour of all the FUN & creative goal-setting and project planning tools in front of me right now, and I absolutely cannot wait to dig in and get colorful & visual with it all!

My goal: to create something between a Vision Board and a Planner - like a "vision book" 🙂 that helps me visualize my projects, my plans and my GOALS in a way that lights that FIRE of motivtaion & excitement in me... all over again!

What's working for you, and what isn't?

I'd love to hear about or SEE what you're using!

Best,

Need EASY social media ideas and an organized calendar for ALL of your 2020 content marketing?

I've got you covered.

Smart marketers are gearing up for 2020 and getting set up for an AMAZING year!

This part always makes me feel totally overwhelmed to be honest.

It's like my brain freezes up just thinking about it all, especially right after the holidays & new year!

This year though, I found the PERFECT solution.

I discovered Angie Gensler, and the 2020 "Done-For-You" Social Media Content Calendar she created. I don't even know how it first crossed my screen, but I'm SO glad I stopped and checked it out!

If you're scanning in a hurry, there are 3 points in this note:

1. I scored you 20% off this GREAT content calendar (and it's already inexpensive!). If you're in a hurry click here and use code LYNNTERRY for the discount.

2. Her free downloads are FULL of brilliant ideas. You definitely want to grab & use those. Start with this one: Free Social Media Cheat Sheet

Both of those  are great for ANY niche and any business model.

3. Her funnel is SO simple yet so WELL DONE, that I encourage you to analyze it  and use it as a working model to emulate...

Whether you get her done-for-you 2020 content calendar or one of her handy free downloads, pay attention as you move through the steps.

She does not oversell, but she DOES overdeliver. It has a super smooth flow, and leaves you with a GREAT impression.

Definitely one to model in your own marketing. It's a beautiful live example of the kind of experience you want to give YOUR audience.

That alone is incredibly valuable!

The BEST Social Media Content & Marketing Calendar I've EVER Seen...

I could tell you all about it but that would probably take several paragraphs.

I will say it's the best format I've ever seen, it's VERY easy to use and customize, you can share it with your assistant or team if you have one - there is literally NOTHING lacking about this content calendar.

The best thing to do is watch the short video at the top of this page and then scroll down and watch the second short video where she gives you an inside look so you can SEE the content calendar and how it works.

If you LOVE it, don't forget to use the discount code LYNNTERRY for 20% off. I got MINE for 20% off, so I asked her for a code I could pass on to you too. 🙂

I'm pretty confident you'll be as impressed as I was...

She did an AMAZING job with this calendar!

You will NEVER struggle with "what to post" AGAIN.

While it's a "social media content calendar" I got TONS of ideas for videos, blog posts, email newsletters - pretty much ALL the content I'll ever need to create.

And you can plan it all out right there on the calendar, customizing it to the way you run YOUR business.

The editable format is the BEST!

2020 Done-For-You Content Calendar

Not ready to commit, but need GREAT social media content ideas?

This is also a great way to analyze how she has her funnel set up, and check out how HER content marketing flows!

I hope you enjoy both of these resources as much as I'm enjoying them myself. 🙂

It takes entirely too many hours to try to create something like this from scratch!

I love that she has all the holidays & observances plus TONS of post prompts and content ideas (strategically designed to increase engagement) already loaded right into your content calendar - ready to customize and GO.

I've bought countless planners and calendars over the years, but this is the FIRST one I've actually been inspired to USE. It was so easy, I opened it up and got started straight away. 🙂

Go ahead and download one or both of those resources and have them ready...

I'll be back with a FUN surprise that will help you build a responsive, buying audience in 2020 that will level-up your online business! *cheers*

If you struggle to create decent marketing videos, or get frustrated with mobile livestreaming & video quality you MUST check out Smove.

It's the TOP mobile gimbal / pro mobile stabilizer, and the ONLY one that does face-tracking (and even product tracking!) which allows you to create HIGH quality videos without expensive equipment or HOURS of learning.

With a Smove Mobile you can easily create your own livestreams, videos or even product demo videos that look like you have your own personal cinematographer.

I also scored you a discount code for SMOVE 😉 Use code lynnterry10 at checkout for an exclusive discount!

Watch this (and prepare to be IMPRESSED at what it does):

I just got mine so I can't wait to unbox it and start using it for demo videos and also for action shots on my fun adventures! 🙂

I got the SmoveMobile instead of this smaller Smove. I was torn, but there's only about a $20 difference and I love the longer handle & built in tripod of the SM. I do love this smaller Smove (vs SmoveMobile) because it's SO compact.

They're both amazing gadgets, depending on whether you'll be using it mostly on the go (SmoveMobile) or mainly stationary (Smove).

If you'll mainly use it at home or in the office, or where you're working from flat surfaces like a desk or table, the Smove would be great for $20 less.

Watch the videos on the Smove Video website to learn more...
Discount code: lynnterry10

My favorite feature of the Smove is face tracking or product tracking. That means your phone will follow you (or an object) and take video or interval shots, so you can do smooth action video without having to worry about staying IN the frame the entire time.

You simply set it to track your face or a specific object, and it will move your phone 360° to follow you or the object you're demonstrating. It doesn't just move horizontally but up, down and all around too - following you (or your object) seamlessly.

It's like having your own cameraperson or cinematographer!

Consider all the possibilities for capturing pro-level videos and photos of children, animals, time lapse nature shots, outdoor adventures, and of course shooting high quality product demonstration videos!

It comes with a mini tripod and fits on a regular tripod too, and also charges your phone while you're using it.

But mainly I got it for the "follow me" feature for live and recorded video on the go, and for product unboxing & demo videos that don't require me to sit still to stay in the frame.

Imagine how much more interactive and interesting your demo or training videos will be! 😉

Have you seen the Smove in action yet?

It would also be great for speakers who want to capture their entire presentation on stage, even while moving across the stage. Or for demonstrating points with a whiteboard - with a lot more flexibility!

The options are truly endless...

It opens up a whole new world of creative options!

This is my referral link:

I would love to hear your thoughts...

And stay tuned for cool new videos & action shots from me!

Livestreaming & Video Marketing Challenge

Monique and I had a great chat yesterday about her Facebook Live Sales & Leads Challenge that starts Wednesday (tomorrow).

We also discussed my "winging it" strategy vs her structure & systems and the pros and cons of both! If you missed our FUN video, watch it here:

Learn More About The Challenge Here

Live Video has been the most profitable addition to my niche marketing strategy over the last couple of years.

I dove in after hearing Monique speak about it at an event in Atlanta 2 years ago. The results were surprising and amazing!

Obviously it became a regular part of my marketing & sales strategy from that point forward - and my conversion rates have continued to climb. 😉

Don't miss out on this opportunity to dramatically BOOST your reach & revenue, and take your business to the next level with more engaged leads and WAY higher conversion rates!

I signed up for the challenge myself because I need more STRUCTURE to my live video & video marketing strategy. I just starting using her free video sales templates to close/convert. She has a solid system, and SYSTEM & structure is exactly what I need! 😛

What to expect from this challenge & fast-track training...

In just 7 short days you'll walk away with proven systems, put them to work, and start seeing exciting results. And all right before the BIGGEST sales weekend of the year & holiday / year-end sales rush!

What you'll learn from Monique is based on the success of 6 and 7 figure clients she's worked with personally. So these are proven systems.

They’ve been adapted to fit anyone at any level of business in ANY niche -- so you won’t be trying to implement strategies that you’re not yet ready for yet and can’t benefit from.

Monique tailored the challenge so you can easily plug her proven strategies & systems into your current business - for faster, better results, and a quick increase in conversions!

In this 7 day challenge, Monique is going to show you how to connect the dots: how to take the systems that the most successful influencers are using to gain exposure, KEEP attention and convert their audiences - and she'll teach you how to apply those systems to your business exactly where you are right now.

I can’t tell you enough how valuable this will be to the future of your business and your impact!

This challenge is made to fit YOUR unique business, brand, and messaging. Simply take the framework, apply it to your business, and allow it to work for you - regardless of your industry, niche, or what stage you’re at in your business journey.

This challenge & fast-track training is your opportunity to ROCK all the holiday, year-end & New Year sales - and step into 2020 with your business ON FIRE.

I hope you enjoy the video above...

We talked about your social real estate and digital assets, the pros & cons of having systems in place and a structure to your content marketing (to easily increase your conversions) - and the benefits of "winging it" too! - plus details about Monique's FUN challenge that starts tomorrow.

There's only ONE day left to sign up...

Sign up for the Challenge today & join us!

I'll look for you on the inside...

It'll be fun to work TOGETHER on this! 🙂

Best,
Lynn Terry

p.s. If you don't know Monique Johnson yet, you'll be glad you met her. 🙂

Monique just spoke on the main stage at Hubspot's Inbound conference to a standing room only crowd about the power of live video marketing - and that's just ONE bit from her long list of credentials & years of experience.

I hope you'll join us this week...

Today is the last day to sign up!

Newsflash: you guarantee failure with "failure to launch!" 😉

Just DO THINGS - do things less than perfect, do them badly even, then tweak & improve as you go.

Get in the habit of FINISHING and PUBLISHING.

The more you have out there, the more response/data you have to work with to continue growing & improving. And the better your chance of building your business, getting traffic, making sales, all the good stuff. 🙂

Don't WAIT to start. Just START!

Working on a product, service or website right now?

Start building up your social media following & audience and discussing your topic NOW - put yourself on the hook and create an audience to SERVE with your thoughts, ideas & offers.

Have a product you'll be launching soon?

Start leaking tips and hints and get some anticipation building! That "audience interest" will motivate you to finish it FASTER and to actually launch it.

The only real failure is the "failure to take action."

If you DO take action and it FLOPS, you now have something to work with to improve the targeting or the traffic or the conversion rate.

But you'll never know if you don't DO, and once you DO there is no failure... only a platform to keep tweaking & improving until you turn it into a WIN.

Best,
Lynn Terry

p.s. I love this concept of scheduling an "Untouchable Day" for creative projects. Such a simple yet effective solution to our otherwise overly full and less than productive days with entirely too much input - and never enough output.

"As our world gets busier and our phones get beepier, the scarcest resource for all of us is becoming ATTENTION and CREATIVE OUTPUT. And if you’re not taking time to put something new and beautiful out into the world, then your value is diminishing FAST." -continue reading

Online courses are one of the best ways to make money online. Why? Because:

• They can be extremely profitable. Some online instructors make millions a year sharing their expertise with the world.
• They provide passive income, which means you don’t have to trade hours for dollars.
• They give you the immense satisfaction of helping people while teaching a topic you love.
• They’re a great way to build authority & credibility, which you can leverage to grow your following and your business even further.

Online courses are HUGE right now. And according to Industry Forecasts, the demand for long-distance learning is growing fast (over 7% in the next decade). By the year 2025, online learning will be a $331 billion industry.

What does that mean?

Every day, more and more people are creating video-based courses to monetize their knowledge. And people love taking these online classes! They’re useful, convenient, and engaging (especially video lessons and quizzes).

Would you like to get in on this wave and start making money teaching people about the topics you’re passionate about?

If so, there’s a free virtual conference that you need to check out.

It’s called Teachable Live, and it’s a 3-day online event that will teach you everything you need to know to create, sell, and scale your own online course.

This event is going to have 13 in-depth workshops taught by 30 highly successful online instructors in a wide variety of niches. These are people who know the ins and outs of creating a successful online course because they’ve done it, over and over, and are making a great income in the process.

Click here to learn more and register now (it’s free).

The first day of Teachable Live will focus on course creation.

You’ll get lessons on how to create, promote, and profit from your very own online course.

This is where you’ll learn how to select a profitable course topic and validate it.

This is a really important process to understand, because this is how you can find out whether there’s a profitable market for your course—before you go through the process of creating the whole thing.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

On day 1 of the Teachable Live virtual summit, you’ll also learn how to...

• Launch your course for maximum sales right out of the gate...
• Minimize that feeling of overwhelm that can come from the prospect of creating a brand-new course from scratch...
• Discover tried-and-tested strategies for streamlining the course creation process...
• Turn your expertise into a viable course framework, so that your customers will get great results—and refer their friends and family...
• Find out if your course idea is too niche to make a profit...
• And much more!

Tons of people are making money online simply by running ads for affiliate programs and CPA campaigns across a variety of adverting platforms.

I did it myself heavily with Google Adwords back in 2003-2004, and not only is it fun - and only slightly addictive - it can be extremely profitable.

I had the opportunity to talk with a rep from Megapu.sh this week, and learn more about their CPC-model push notification advertising network...

This is what Push Notification ads look like on mobile devices:

What is a push notification exactly? It's native advertising (a teaser) which is delivered to the user's mobile device or desktop, which they opt-in to receive.

There are a variety of ways you can use it...

As an affiliate marketer I love the idea of using the CPA model to deliver targeted ads for high conversions. CPA simply means Cost Per Action, or pay-per-lead affiliate programs, which tend to convert extremely well in front of targeted audiences.

You can also use it to deliver special offers, promotions, news & content, sales & discounts - and even upload files such as ebooks, checklists & templates they can download.

Most interesting is that you can do geo-targeting which is especially beneficial to local businesses looking to reach people in a specific area with a targeted promotion.

Push-notifications are short-form notifications delivered on the desktop or mobile device, based on you're targeting specifications, where you pay per click.

The key is to create very compelling images & copy, and put those ads in front of highly targeted users in the network.

You can see what it looks like on this page, and learn more about how it works:

Megapu.sh - The first advertising Push notifications network

I was most curious how people sign up or opt-in to get these push notifications on their mobile device or desktop, so that was the first question I asked.

They are permission-based, and it's done using a special code on partern's websites where people give their permission to receive relevant notifications.

They offer:

• More than 12 million clicks per day
• CPC model (cost-per-click)
• The minimum price is 0.001 $ per click
• Full tracker included (no need to use third-party trackers)

You can use push notifications to remind existing customers about your product or services, or send them updates or special offers & sales.

It's also a great way to do pay-per-lead (CPA-based) affiliate marketing with things like free games, dating sites, lotteries, etc. There are many affiliate networks full of CPA offers you can choose from, and you can usually sort them by performance and conversion to choose which ones to test.

The Megapu.sh ad platform gives you the option to send notifications to both desktop and mobile devices, or choose one or the other.

From what I read, desktop based push notifications convert higher.

You can also target your ads based on operating system, browser, location, date & time, IP address/ranges, etc.

The minimum deposit is $100 and you can't withdraw funds, so that's the initial investment for your test run on the Megapu.sh platform.

Looking at screenshots of the process it looks incredibly easy to use, and boasts "from registration to running the first campaign will take only 10 minutes."

You can learn more about it here:

The big question is:

Should you have a product first - or an audience & list first?

It's a trick question actually with no correct answer.

Just like the chicken & egg debate.

In my Brainstorming Hour session last night we discussed a variety of creative niche product ideas you can use to build your list and make money online, including: interactive products and physical products, product funnel ideas, and super easy list builders. If you're already a member you can click here to watch the replay.

Almost any product can be repurposed in a variety of ways, turned into both marketing content and higher end products, as just two examples.

You can turn an ebook into a workshop. You could turn a free report into a webinar or slideshow presentation, or even a video. Most software programs you use to create a digital product have a variety of export options!

Alice Seba shares 7 Product Creation Points on this page, and we discussed most of those same points (and more) during Brainstorming Hour.

Alice used one of her own Private Label Rights packages as a live example for those points, which is really helpful.

Tip: Forget the HOW and just focus on the WHAT.

One of the biggest problems people have with creating a great (or even a simple) info product is getting all wrapped up in how/where to upload it, how to deliver it, how to set up a funnel, which platform or affiliate program or delivery system to use, yada yada yada.

NONE OF THAT MATTERS.

It doesn't matter until you actually have a product to sell or give away, that is.

Unfortunately most people get so sidetracked and overwhelmed with all of that... that they never even get the product created - or completed!

So first: focus on creating your product.

Even if it's a simple checklist, worksheet or report - just get it done!

If you're not sure what topic to choose, or you're hung up on what to create a product ABOUT, one of my favorite resources is Answer The Public. Just plug in the main word for your niche and see what questions people are asking! You could create endless checklists, worksheets or short reports with that resource alone.

If you don't yet have a niche or a business, you can use a product to CREATE one.

Creating a product is one of the fastest, easiest ways to build your list and get yourself established in any niche.

You could use PLR, which is content and products already created for you, and just pick one that's is a topic & market you'd like to talk about and work in. Alice has a list of several PLR Products at the top of this page you can grab and run with - today!

Maybe you already know what topic/niche you would choose, but you're stuck on having no website and no list and no one to sell it to...

That's an easy fix!

You simply go to the people that DO have a website, already have an audience, and DO have a list (and people to sell things to) and you pay them commission to recommend your product. Bingo!

It's called leverage.

Or in the IM world: Affiliate Marketing.

So if you're starting with NO list, and you do that, you're building a list of BUYERS - which is a great list to have.

That's actually one of the TOP reasons you should create and sell a product: to build a list of buyers!

Even if it's just a low cost product, what really matters is that your subscribers are a list of people that have a paypal account or credit card... and don't mind to use it. Meaning: they'll willingly pay for information on that topic.

From there you can offer more products, or recommend products as an affiliate, and you'll see higher conversions than other types of email lists.

This whole topic, and all the ideas we brainstormed, came up in my session last night because we were discussing the Point Click Workbook Templates.

The price on those will go up after tonight, by the way.

If you already got them, hopefully this will inspire you to start using them! If you haven't yet, you can still get them at the discounted price today - and have a workbook or interactive digital or physical product created this afternoon.

I shared some really good ideas about creating products in these two posts:

• Creative Ideas for FAST Product Creation to Build Your List & Make Money Quick
• Smart: Get A Fast Money-Maker Up This Weekend!

And of course there's the tips I mentioned above on Alice's page here:

• 7 Product Creation Points

You can also use the Niche Brainstorming Exercise on Page 5 of my brainstorming worksheets:

• Action Plan Worksheets (free)

I really want to encourage you to stop spinning your wheels, and start creating niche products.

It's the best way to easily increase your online income, or to START making money online!

If you already have a list or an audience, you definitely need to put a product in front of them. Or put MORE products in front of them.

If you don't yet have a list or an audience, this is the easiest way to kick-start that process.

Here are just a few product ideas to consider creating:

• checklist
• worksheet
• short report
• ebook
• online workshop, course or class
• offline workshop
• workbook
• spiral bound workbook
• physical course in a 3-ring binder
• membership site

Like I said, all of those can easily be combined, repurposed into different formats, expanded on, condensed, etc so that ONE main product becomes ALL of those product types!

My advice: start with something simple. You can grow it from there.

If you need help brainstorming ideas, growing your audience, coming up with creative products & funnels, increasing your traffic & revenue, or just getting an online business off the ground even... you can Get Hands On Help in my Private Brainstorming Group.

I also offer one-on-one private consulting, but my time is limited - so shoot me an email if you want to discuss that. I can give you the best rates that way.

Last year I offered a deal that was really popular that included a 90 minute private consultation AND hands-on help and accountability super cheap. I just found that old email, and the links still work! You can see it here if you want to check that out.

You may not need help or accountability with it all, and maybe you're super creative and don't need templates & outlines to work with to make it easier, so if that's the case - hopefully some of the ideas in this note inspired you at least, or gave you something to run with today! *cheers*

p.s. Debbie's Point Click Workbook Templates are only $27 right now.

I got them myself because they're amazing templates that make creating your own GREAT products super simple!

No, I didn't light a match to the house and laugh wickedly while I watched it all burn to the ground.

Although that thought did cross my mind, more than once recently. 🙂 haha

I got this WILD creative streak and started working on a new download for you - a fun and interactive training guide & workbook you can use to take your online business to the next level.

I am NOT a creative person by nature, by the way. More on that in a second, and how YOU can get inspired to create some awesome money-makers too!

Here's proof, an actual screenshot of the product creation process:

Nice, right? 🙂 Especially for someone that doesn't have the design gene!

My graphics & creativity skills are practically nonexistent. I've always been better in plain text. 😉

I have PROOF of that too. Here's the original download (free) - you can see it's literally just 5 plain text pages.

They're GOOD mind you, and I use them almost daily with my consulting clients and PBG members.

I can say that as a bold fact (that they ARE good) because I actually created them for myself, and have used them in my own business for more than a decade.

Remember the Point Click Workbook Templates I told you about the other day?

I downloaded those myself, of course. That's why I told you about it - because it's awesome!

And because at just $27 it's a no-brainer. It's the kind of product template you need in ANY niche to grow your list and make more sales - plain and simple.

I found out the price goes up on Tuesday, btw - so grab it now if you haven't yet.

Anyway, I went through the quick training videos and made some notes, then I opened up the templates.

They open up beautifully in a variety of programs. I chose Keynote on my Macbook, because I really enjoy working in that program, but you have lots of options, PC or Mac.

THE TEMPLATES ARE AWESOME!

Here's a quick-view of the kinds of templates you can expect from Point Click Workbook Creation - which you can use to create a workbook, or ANY type of digital product really...

I shared some creative ideas here including: an opt-in incentive, ebook, checklist, free download, a bonus to your product, you name it.

See for yourself (then keep reading, because I have more cool tips & ideas to share with you!!):

Download the Point Click Workbook Creation

The cool thing is, once I opened up those programs - I realized I already had some great workbook and product ideas in the works!

That may happen to you too, or at the very least you'll remember product ideas you made notes on - or PLR you downloaded that you could plug into these awesome templates.

Trust me, just watch the quick videos and open the templates... and see if the ideas don't FLY! 🙂

And then...

I had all but dismissed Alice Seba's offer this weekend because - well, because I'm busy and because I didn't think it was something I could use.

But for some reason I looked at it again this afternoon and BINGO - light bulbs went off all over the place!

Check this out:

(I made it where both images will open up in full size if you click on them, so you can check them out better)

This product is The Complete "Boost Your Confidence" Bundle with Private Label Rights

The topic is PERFECT for both business owners I work with, and for my low carb / weight loss niche! Actually, confidence is a topic relevant to practically ANY niche - and a niche in itself even.

* we should all download it and use it to boost our OWN confidence - too! 😉

The point I wanted to make though is how WELL these pages are formatted for creating interactive products or workbooks.

You could scrap the whole "confidence" topic even, and just use the formatted pages to create ANY kind of product - or bonus download/workbook to a workshop or training you want to offer in your niche.

I told you I was on fire! Ideas are flying wild today. 🙂

It's the PERFECT complement to Debbie's Point Click Workbook Templates which are only $27 this weekend, and Alice's "Boost Your Confidence" Bundle is only $37 - so for WAY less than the price of hiring a designer or creator... you could combine these two products and have everything you need to create endless products in your niche!

I'm not going to twist your arm or anything, but I wanted to stop what I was doing and at least encourage you to take a look for yourself...

Because these templates are SO easy to use, and got me FIRED UP about creating some awesome money-makers that people will LOVE.

And honestly, it's been awhile since I've been fired up - or felt any real motivation at all. My projects have been on the back burner for ages, collecting dust and regrets. :p

Sometimes all it takes is a little inspiration...

And it helps when most of the work is done for you already. 🙂

I'm dusting off ALL my great product ideas and plugging them into these awesome templates, so I'm off to get back to work on that.

It feels GOOD to be excited, motivated and feeling creative again. 🙂

That alone was worth a few bucks! lol... *cheers*

Best,

p.s. If you don't have a niche, or a business, or any ideas... THIS is your opportunity to get it all up with an amazing offer, and everything you need to create it.

=> Download the Point Click Workbook Templates

And be sure to grab the "Boost Your Confidence" Bundle too and combine the two into at least ONE awesome product you can use to build a profitable list.

Whether you create a freebie and build a list you can market related products to, or you create a product and build a list of buyers, you would be hard pressed NOT to make your money back FAST considering how cheap these templates are... and how GREAT they are.

No design skills or creativity required. Just download, open, and start editing!

These are awesome offers from Debbie and Alice this weekend, and those are my affiliate links, so thank you in advance if you choose to take advantage of these crazy good offers - and use my link to put the wheels in motion!

Want to copy what I'm doing to make money online?

It's EASY, and this is truly brilliant - yet so simple.

You can do this in any niche too. My primary niche is my "Traveling Low Carb" blog, so that's where I'm working on this, just to give you an example.

Last year I decided to take a chance and host a series of classes in my niche, with NO idea how well that would go over.

I honestly didn't think my audience would buy "information" or pay to hear me share how-to stuff.

I was WRONG.

I made over $9,000 doing it badly (or at least: leaving A LOT of money on the table). Seriously!

When I say that I did it badly and left a lot of money on the table, that's because 1) I didn't even charge a specific price (I just let them pay whatever they wanted), 2) I didn't have an affiliate program or work with any JV partners to get more sales, and worst of all: 3) I didn't have ANY backend offer, zero follow-up, and didn't monetize that list of information-buyers in any way.

NOT smart I know, but it was honestly just a simple test... and the results totally shocked me!

Knowing what I know now, I have been working on fleshing that out into a "real product" to relaunch and turn into a more regular stream of EASY revenue.

I'm currently looking at the Teachable platform as a simple way to offer my product long-term with everything built in for classes or courses, including an affiliate program.

In the most perfect timing, they are hosting Free Teachable Live this month - to teach you everything you need to know about creating & hosting a profitable course in your niche.

So I'm working on that, got signed up for the free training event, and then BAM!

This hit my inbox.

Talk about synchronicity!

It's the Point Click Workbook Creation and it's ALL the templates you need PLUS the "how to put a niche workbook together in a single afternoon" training too.

It's a super simple drag & drop format with step-by-step training. Sweet!

This is EXACTLY the type of "product" I need to go along with my classes, and to offer as a stand-alone product too.

The cool thing is, I can actually use the templates to make my classes really snazzy - because you can use the templates in presentations too.

Having interactive products makes it easy to implement or apply what you're teaching. And if there's one thing I've learned working online, it's this: If you can help them see RESULTS, they'll continue consuming products & services, ie: clicking & buying!

The Point Click Workbook Creation Templates are only $27 - which is a steal considering what you can earn as a result:

Check out the Point Click Workbook Download

You'll be able to put a niche workbook together in a single afternoon!

There are tons of templates included in the download, so it's literally just a drag & drop format to create your niche workbook.

You don't actually have to create a workbook either, although you should! But you can ALSO use these templates to create all kinds of content upgrades and value-adds - and even opt in incentives, like:

* checklists
* worksheets
* cheat sheets
* homework
* webinars
* how-to presentation videos
... you name it!

I personally love that these templates are keynote and powerpoint compatible - because I can use these to create my webinars and teach my classes too. AND repurpose them into workbooks and handouts to go with the classes. Great value-add idea!

You can also print them of course, and easily create print-on-demand spiral bound workbooks. These are great for meetups, workshops, or to let people order online and work through on their own - or in your guided group or workshop.

Example:

If you host workshops or do any public speaking, having a workbook handout to make your event or talk interactive would go a LONG way toward getting people engaged and taking action on your information - which only increases both your connection and conversion.

But you can easily do this digitally and online too, through webinars or Facebook Live, or just as a challenge or membership in an interactive style work-with-you product.

You get all templates, but Debbie also teaches you HOW to create your niche workbook with all 11 essential components, and you also get Video Training that teaches you exactly how to customize the templates and put together your guide or workbook in a single afternoon.

She makes it easy by giving you every template for you to put together your workbook in an afternoon by just plugging in your own information:

Point Click Workbook Creation

• 50+ Plug Play and Profit Workbook Templates
• 100+ Inspiration & Motivation Quotes PLUS 50+ Plug & Play Templates With Images You Can Freely Use AS IS
• 80+ Professional & Beautiful Cover Templates
• Short, Over the Shoulder Video Training On How To Customize The Templates and Put Together Your Book In As Little as an Afternoonon

There is an upgrade option too that's a great deal:

Point Click Workbook Creation Upgrade

• How To Use Your Physical Book As The Ultimate Lead Magnet To Sell Higher Ticket Products
• How To Earn More and Speed Up Your Learning Curve and Get Up To 100K, 200K or Even More.... As Fast As Possible.
• The 5 Minute Ecover Maker - With Over 70 Templates To Use Right Away

The 50+ done-for-you workbook templates are all fully customized, with graphics included, PLUS 80 workbook/ebook cover templates so you can have a professional cover design for your workbook or guide.

There's really nothing left out, and she even walks you through it step-by-step so you can get it done FAST and start making money with it!

I'm running with this one. You can't beat it for $27, considering all the different ways you could use it to make money or build your list - in any niche.

I figured you'd want to hear about it too, because that ridiculous price is only good through this weekend. You could easily make that (and way more!) back with your niche workbook... before her sale on this even ends!

If you don't have a niche, or a business, or any ideas... THIS is your opportunity to get it all up with an amazing offer, and everything you need to create it.
