Actually, this is not so much a mistake but something that needs to be set straight. I am here to sell low-ticket digital products. AND I ALREADY sell digital products. I earn a living from them. That isn't the problem. What I don't do is have $5k months selling low-ticket digital products What I had to do to make money online was sell my time for money. Someone paid me. Instead of being an offline employee I was an online one. For years I have been sat at my computer screen helping others with WordPress and their online visibility and they pay me. I have to find the work. Delivery the work. Get paid for the work. Chase the damn invoice for the work. Put up with client demands. Find new work. Making money online is NOT my problem. ENJOYING CONSISTENT $5K MONTHS WITH LOW-TICKET DIGITAL PRODUCTS Making consistent large sums definitely is something I am working towards experiencing. I haven't experienced it - YET! Anything over $5k - SELLING low-ticket digital products only - is a good month for me BUT IT MUST BE from selling digital products only and nothing else. No coming up with a $997 retreat or selling a $2497 high ticket service or teaching people "how to" do something. I AM DONE with clients (except any wondering Djangify ones of course ☺️) AUTHORITY BUILDING AND SOCIAL MEDIA So. What I am ACTUALLY doing in this experiment is building my PERSONAL BRAND. I need to build my online authority and social media so I can consistently sell $5k months worth of low-ticket digital products. Until I get to my 1,000 true fans goal spending $100 each which is around $8k months. That is the missing part. I haven't bothered with selling on social media or building a brand because I haven't needed it. Now I do! I need people to know, like and trust me enough to buy what I create. OPENING UP DJANGIFY TO CUSTOMERS The ONLY support and teaching I will do eventually is with anyone who invests in a Djangify store. Helping Djangify owners sell their digital products using their expertise is something I will offer. As well as using this space so they can ask questions/get help.

Seriously, I never thought I would spend the first FOUR HOURS of my day fighting ChatGPT for a simple REAL image of me. My current AI twin is much slimmer than I am and I want to correct that and represent what I look like now but it is CRAZY how hard I had to work to do that. I can not have a long chat with loads of different images. I have to upload my style reference and images of what I look like in a new chat every single time or I go back to being slim. I am 5' 10" and a size 18. Despite eating the best I ever have in my life I think three years of sedentary sitting at my desk has meant I stay at 18-20 in UK dress size. Only movement can save me now 😂 Anyway. I want to look like ME NOW. Not me as I was and so I went to work on it and seriously I am tired out for the day already. I was up until 3am trying to fix an image of me and now just getting these 6 images has taken hours. It is 11.30am and I am done! The attached images are ones I will use when focusing on Inspirational Guidance. My own personal ones in my software developer persona will be me in purple.

Another week of setting things up really. This time YouTube. A couple of videos up and running. https://www.skool.com/sell-digital-products-7402/inspirational-guidance-youtube-channel 4 new subscribers on Substack this week and I spent time creating connections and reading newsletters. I do love reading other people's point of view. 😃 8 new people joined the email list and I really hope the new videos help to improve that once I start promoting it more during this up coming week I really need to start writing down or keeping a note of what I have been doing because I feel like I got a lot done but now as I sit and try to remember it all not much is coming to mind! STILL BUILDING Really, the week was spent on building rather than sales activity because I have these extra tokens from Claude and I shipped out some new features to my eCommerce builder. The Progressive Web App was one I really wanted. Now I am going to add a way to track who is using it so I have the numbers there. SALES WORK IS NEEDED... I am really happy I am running this experiment because it is forcing me to focus on SALES rather than building or growth work all the time. I do love to build! I have been thinking about building a basic dashboard that will help me measure all of that and get it up and working so I track correctly. SALES. GROWTH. BUILDING. This week has not been a great week for focusing on SALES work though but I move forward from here. I asked Claude - Google in AI Mode (I love this one) - and Gemini - for advice on more GROWTH/SALES activities and will put that all together in one document and follow it. JUST DO IT... The annoying thing is I already know what I need to do, I have been doing it for other people for years, but I am so stuck in building mode where I have been for the last 2 years that I am struggling to get out of it.

I am really excited to welcome @Manda Jackson who is an AI visual content wizard. I don't do the usual please welcome post because to be fair most of us know each other from BYOB except @Artworqq Kevin Suber (belated welcome) - and everyone else I know personally. I am really looking forward to getting into visual content in a bigger way and both Kevin and Manda are brilliant and work together on a magazine.

Wasn't expecting to spend Saturday the way I did. I had plans. But I was reflecting on something and it turned into a whole thing. As it does with me 🤷🏾‍♀️☺️ This week. For the first time in SEVERAL years. I felt really content and happy. I was working away and I suddenly just felt like everything had come together. I knew what I was doing and most importantly I knew WHY. So I have decided to enter a new era. I am now in my SOVEREIGN ERA. I have left the messy middle behind. I am the absolute ruler of my time, my business, and my intellectual property. Just thought I would share 😁🎉🫶🏾
