I love reading people’s end of year recaps and wrap up emails. Partly because I am nosey {my mom calls this trait “being interested and concerned” lol} and partly because I find them inspirational and encouraging.
I love giving my community a behind-the-scenes glimpse into my own business, so today I’m sharing my own recap of 2023. I hope you’ll enjoy reading this and that you’ll take some time to do your own end of year recap.
🤓 Favorite Work Project
This wasn’t a work project so much as a major work decision, but niching down has been my favorite thing I did in 2023. In October I decided to fully niche down to working with product sellers {digital and physical}, and to let go of speaking directly to course creators in my marketing. I’ll admit… I was super nervous to shift to focusing on product sellers because much of my 3000+ community are course creators and I didn’t know if they would stay with me if all my content is directed towards product sellers. Spoiler alert: It’s been fine. LOL. Because at the end of the day, a course is a type of digital product, to an extent.
I’m so glad I decided to niche down because supporting product sellers is my favorite and I have gotten to work with some amazing product sellers inside the ✨Make More Together✨ 4-Week Intensive for Product Sellers as a result.
⚒ Favorite Product Created
402 people have signed up for the Invitation to Send Potential Affiliates this year, and it’s my favorite digital product I created. I created this $9 product after taking Elizabeth Goddard’s mini-training on creating a $9 product (affiliate link}, and it’s been one of the most impactful things I’ve done in my business in 2023.
My second favorite product was a little extra moolah – which was more of a passion project than a strategic business move.
🧳 Favorite Trip of 2023
This is hard, because I went on some awesome trips in 2023. Las Vegas in January was awesome, Nashville in May was amazing, DC with my bestie was so fun in July, but my trip with Jason and his son Tommy to North and South Dakota in September was my absolute favorite! It was a 9 day road trip, and I loved seeing all of the bison and other wildlife and just exploring the country with my boyfriend and his son. Theodore Roosevelt National Park is one of my favorite national parks and it was so fun to do some hikes and see the scenery.
📝 Favorite Learning Resources from 2023
In May, I attend Ultimate Product Party in Nashville. This is an amazing conference for product sellers, and was one of the highlights of my year. I am attending their 2024 conference, and encourage my product seller friends to sign up as well.
I mentioned it above, but that $9 Small but Mighty Offers course from Elizabeth Goddard was amazing and very impactful to my business.
Rich Girl Reels by Abigail Peugh has helped me tremendously with getting better at creating IG reels. She’s doing another round in January – learn more on her insta: https://www.instagram.com/abigailpeugh/
I am in a small number of online biz memberships, and Transparent Sales with Taylor Lee is one of my favorites. Taylor’s program is what inspired me to launch my 4-week Intensive and I can’t recommend Transparent Sales highly enough!
Gemma Bonham-Carter’s Passive Project membership is another of my favorites. I’m not super active in the community {I plan to change that in 2024}, but I use the resources inside this membership ALL.THE.TIME. Learn more and join her upcoming workshop here.
📅 What’s Next in 2024
I’ve got a new digital product coming in January 2024 for those who already have an existing affiliate program and want it to make you more moolah every single month.
I intend to host a round of the ✨Make More Together✨ 4-Week Intensive for Product Sellers every quarter. {Next round begins in January!}
I’m headed to Ultimate Product Party 2024 in California in May.
I will continue to host Product Sellers’ Coffee Chats {more details soon!}
And I’ll continue to be just so dang grateful that I get to work with the most amazing clients and customers here at Create Your Affiliate Program!
Thank you to everyone in my entire community for being here, reading my newsletters and blogs, and purchasing resources to help you set up your own profitable affiliate programs. Wishing you a great end to 2023 and a very Happy New Year!
