Hi Reader,
I've been making a lot of changes to my website lately. I'd love to get feedback on the new design and functionality. There were some issues with the freebies page, but I think I have it worked out.
Anyone who responds to this email or reaches out to me on my contact page gets a freebie as a thank you. Pick an item from my shop and make your request along with your thoughts on how things look, feel, work, etc.
It's been a busy July as we celebrate numerous birthdays (including yours truly next week), the dread of planning for back to school (what type of schooling do your children do?), and spend a lot of time in the garden hoping to recoup the hundreds of dollars we spent to grow our food.
Whoever thought it was cheaper to DIY instead of store-bought was sorely mistaken. But boy, does fresh from the yard taste better than anything you get from retailers. How do you get your produce? Have you turned to the insanely soothing and peaceful hobby of growing your food?
I'm working on planning out our cold-temperature garden. I've never tried growing things once the temps turn cold, so I'm going to need some help. Which is why I signed up for the free fall garden challenge.
I absolutely love challenges. It really helps me get stuff done, even if I'm working on a solo journey. But things are always better with virtual friends, which is why I'm thinking of hosting a weekly email challenge for my list.
What kind of challenge would you be willing to participate in? I like the idea of a productive activity, like my 100 products in 7 days challenge. I'm working on some new materials to go along with that challenge. You can get on the waitlist here if you'd like to participate.
What's your preferred method of doing a challenge? Email, FB group, private group message, solo participation?
What kind of reward would you want for completing the challenge?
I've also gotten back into the mood to craft. I've spent the last few days browsing Pinterest for craft room organization ideas to prepare for this week's goal of relocating and restructuring my craft set-up.
To help me get into the crafting mood, I've found a few awesome events I've scored tickets to, and there's enough to go around.
Check out The SVG Seller Summit if you want to learn how to sell SVGs in your business. It starts tomorrow and it's going to be fiyah!
I've also grabbed a ticket to the Sublimation and Beyond Camp - 41 workshops from your favorite craft experts. I'm on the fence on whether I want to jump into DTF crafts (like I've even got the time), so I'm super excited to attend.
Since I've decided to put full focus on growing my website and online store, with a sub-focus on the crafting niche, it seems the perfect time to start experimenting with recording videos to go with the books and tutorials I planned in my content strategy for Q4.
I hope to grow from participating in bundles like the ones below to joining summits with video presentations. I'm also hoping to turn my crafting into a new business venture, using these videos to create workshops and courses.
If I can ever figure out how to integrate courses into my website without having to navigate to a different website. Do you host courses? What platform do you use?
I've figured out how to manage subscriptions and memberships using my WooCommerce platform. Have you explored my new offers? If you could design a membership to solve your biggest problem, what would it entail?
You can also find lots of awesome book events and some exciting new tutorials, like how to make bookmarks, how to use affiliate marketing, and how to create mug wraps. I've also been working on expanding my store with things like cookbooks, planners, clip art (grab this birthday bundle for $1 for my bday celebration using the coupon ITSMYBIRTHDAY), and bookmarks.
I've added a few new gifts to my Freebies page, along with some other goodies. Do you have a freebie you'd like more people to see?
Fill out this form to submit your freebie offer, and I'll list it in my vault. Pick which offer works best for your audience from my page, and I'll send you a copy to share.
Freebie swaps are a great way to collaborate and another fun way to grow your email list and business.
If you're interested in collaborating for growth, reply to this email with the answer contributor, and I'll put you on my exclusive contributors-only email that sends out details on bundles, summits, podcasts, book tours, affiliate offers, guest posts, roundups, and more.
Have an offer you need help filling? Give me the details, and if it aligns with my diverse audience, I'll share it with my followers.
Like my friend, Rachel over at Rural Meanings, who has an awesome monthly challenge I'm excited to try for July. This month's theme is journals, and you can participate in the Facebook group. But she also has an awesome offer for members of her monthly membership. If you complete the challenge, she shares one of your free offers with her large email list.
My ADHD brain works better when it's a competition or a game, so I've found cheats to make it work for me. If you read my blog, you'll know I'm running a contest to reward the person who interacts with my brand the most. Subscribers get points for every interaction, and the person with the most at the end of the month gets a prize (TBD).
If you want to sign up to participate, just reply to this email and I'll send you the sign-up page!
I'm still working on growing my email list, so I've joined several events. A few are happening right now, so grab your tickets to dozens of free resources before they expire.
Today is the last day to score your ticket to Lizzy's Summer Party. Lizzy’s Summer Party is a free bundle of 55+ digital products that help you build visibility, boost sales, and bring in fresh leads — without having to hustle all summer.

Christmas in July, hosted by Photos with Brandi, ends on the 13th, so you still have a few days to grab 52 holiday gifts. It sounds awful that we're prepping for Christmas already, but it's horrifyingly close. I'm a Spooky girl myself, with the firm belief that the season starts the day after July 4th. Do you take part in the Halloween in July trend?
You can also pick up a ticket to the Expert Authority Accelerator Bundleopen until July 14th.
