I don’t know if you need to hear this today… but you’re not behind. You’re not failing. And you’re definitely not too late to build the life and business you’ve been dreaming about. Let me tell you a little secret: When I started selling $3 digital files on Etsy, I had NO clue it would turn into a 7-figure empire. I didn’t have: ❌ A design degree ❌ A massive email list or FB group ❌ Or even the time to “hustle” (hello, pregnant with 3 other kids at the time). But what I did have? ✅ A vision of working smarter, not harder ✅ A whole lot of trial and error ✅ And a fire to prove to myself I could do it. Was it always pretty? Nope. Did I have moments where I thought “maybe I’m not cut out for this”? Absolutely. But here’s the thing: The gap between where you are now and where you want to be isn’t as big as you think. It’s just a matter of learning the right strategy and giving yourself permission to take the next step. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, let this be it. But for now, I want you to know this: You don’t have to do this perfectly. You just have to start. You’re closer than you think. P.S. Keep an eye on your inbox/this group. I’ve got something game-changing to share with you this week 👀

Hi all! Be sure to watch the video first here: https://www.youtube.com/@digitalbailey/videos before using the prompt flow to see how it works! :) write an image generation prompt for this image (attach your image) ChatGPT said: Here’s a MidJourney/AI art prompt to recreate this style: Prompt:A hand-drawn watercolor illustration of a whimsical ghost draped in a soft, flowing sheet with two black oval eyes, surrounded by autumn foliage and delicate wildflowers. The ghost stands against a textured, painterly background with earthy tones of black, beige, cream, and muted orange. The leaves and flowers are detailed with fine linework and ink-like strokes, creating a cozy, vintage, and slightly spooky aesthetic. The composition has a natural, organic feel with layered plants and a rustic, boho vibe, ink and gouache textures visible throughout. Would you like me to: ✅ rewrite this for Procreate/Photoshop brushes (for recreating manually)? ✅ or make 5 aesthetic variations of this prompt (e.g. “brighter palette,” “spooky forest background,” “witchy vibe”)? You said: A hand-drawn watercolor illustration of a whimsical ghost draped in a soft, flowing sheet with two black oval eyes, surrounded by autumn foliage and delicate wildflowers. The ghost stands against a textured, painterly background with earthy tones of black, beige, cream, and muted orange. The leaves and flowers are detailed with fine linework and ink-like strokes, creating a cozy, vintage, and slightly spooky aesthetic. The composition has a natural, organic feel with layered plants and a rustic, boho vibe, ink and gouache textures visible throughout. Now make this prompt even better, more unique, maybe change the color palette, keep the style aesthetic: A hand-drawn watercolor illustration of a whimsical ghost draped in a soft, flowing sheet with two black oval eyes, surrounded by autumn foliage and delicate wildflowers. The ghost stands against a textured, painterly background with earthy tones of black, beige, cream, and muted orange. The leaves and flowers are detailed with fine linework and ink-like strokes, creating a cozy, vintage, and slightly spooky aesthetic.

I know how tempting it is to throw in the towel when things feel hard. When I first started on Etsy, I had designs that completely flopped. I’d spend hours creating a design, post it, and… crickets. No sales. Not even a favorite. But I kept going. I tested new niches, new keywords, and new style aesthetics and focused on finding trending design styles off of Etsy. Slowly, my shop gained traction. The rest is history (385,000 sales) because I refused to quit when it felt like nothing was working. Here’s the truth: the difference between the shops that succeed and the ones that fade out isn’t “luck” or “talent.” I have no design skills or graphic design experience. It’s staying in the game long enough to learn what works. If you feel stuck right now, remind yourself: ✅ That next design could be your bestseller. ✅ That next shop tweak could unlock consistent daily sales. ✅ That next month could be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. Your future self will thank you for not quitting today.
