Hi,
Gumroad Day was on April 4th and I had the most sales I had ever had in a 1-2 day period.
Thank you!!!
Ebooks, ebooks, ebooks 🤩
If you’re not an ebook publisher but have interest in it, I encourage you to check out my free ebook, 3-Hour Ebook.
It teaches you how to quickly create ebooks in a matter of hours, with the help of AI.
You can also definitely write ebooks without AI but, AI makes it easier and faster, in my opinion.
Another quick and easy way to publish ebooks, especially if you want to publish a lot of them fast is to buy and resell PLR or master resell rights ebooks.
How does PLR and master resell rights work?
These are done-for-you ebooks that you can buy and resell on the spot.
You can either…
Buy it, re-do it to match the aesthetic, tone and style of your brand or,
Buy it and resell it on the spot
Both ways work. It’s just a matter of personal preference.
When I was into PLR many years ago, the selection of products back then was not good at all.
You might as well have just written a brand new book yourself, from scratch.
Because they were so poor quality, you absolutely COULD NOT resell them in that condition and rewriting them would be more work than just writing it from scratch.
Today, totally different.
There are actually some really amazing high quality PLR and master resell rights products.
The difference between PLR and master resell rights is about the licensing. Here’s what ChatGPT says:
PLR vs Master Resell Rights
These are three master resell rights products I offer, as an example:
Roadmap 3.0 course (teaches digital marketing)
UBC or Ultimate Branding Course (teaches how to sell on social media, digital marketing and branding)
Faceless Email Marketing E-guide (teaches how to use faceless email marketing to generate an online income)
My results from Gumroad Day…
I sold about a dozen and a half products!
I’m so thrilled with the results!🤩
Very soon I’m releasing my Q1 income report to members of my paid Substack.
If you’re not one and want to be, make sure to join. It’s only $5 a month or $50/year and includes perks like discounts on my products, video lessons, access to my exclusive quarterly income reports, and more.
Spoiler alert: My income is WAY DOWN (sadly 😭)
Since that Helpful Content Update and subsequent Google updates have happened, my traffic tanked.
Less traffic for me meant less people seeing my posts, which resulted in:
Lowering my sponsored post rates
Getting less inbound traffic emails for partnerships
Less affiliate income
Fewer product sales
I’m in a couple blogging Facebook groups that talk about this ALL THE TIME. It’s literally 6 months later and it’s still at the top of people’s lips.
I recently read that a blogger had her income tank by $40K as a result of the update 😭
This, plus the brand deal/sponsored post space changing where brands are leaning more into affiliate partnerships than upfront sponsored posts has dropped my income a lot here too.
AND, my Medium income is about 1/10th of what it was a year and a half ago..when it rains it pours, right?
It’s so real out here in these streets.
When this happens, what do you do?
Pivot!
For me, this change and losing a BIG CLIENT, dropped my business income significantly.
So, I started putting more things into place to generate that lost income.
The biggest change was adding social media digital marketing into the mix.
I took this course (to strengthen my digital marketing skills) , followed by this course (to learn how to sell socially) and last month (my 2nd month in after buying a course), I generated over 500% more income from digital products, almost $5K 🤑
The first 6 days of April, I’m at $1,300+ so far from just digital products.
So, it’s working!
Anyway, let me end this rant here as this email is already kinda long.
If you’ve read until the end, you’re a true day one.
Thank you!
Enjoy your weekend and if there’s a specific topic you’re interested in me covering in the next newsletter, please let me know.
Cheers,
Jenn
