    I ordered these cute earrings from A Tiny Bit of Joy – they are being delivered today and I am so excited!

    There are two things I want to purchase, but am holding off until I have more time in my calendar in June: this Gif template pack and this Digital Product Starter Spreadsheet Template pack, which includes 15 different layouts you can use to design your own spreadsheet to sell. 

    They are both very inexpensive, but I know if I buy them now I won’t use them now, so I prefer to make purchases when I actually have the time to implement on them. {I was not always like this, as my digital library full of purchases I’ve never used will tell you. 😶)

    My 2023 Review

    • Comments Off on My 2023 Review

    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!

    You can purchase one today at http://www.getflipstik.com/cyap – and if you use discount code cyap you’ll get a 20% discount!  

    🤓 Favorite Learning Product


    Rich Girl Reels – While I think that affiliate marketing is one of the fastest ways to make more product sales, it doesn’t mean I think it’s the only way to make more product sales.  I am really enjoying Rich Girl Reels taught by Abigail Peugh.  Her digital product is teaching me how to film better reels, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.  You can follow her on Insta here: https://www.instagram.com/abigailpeugh/  {and if you’re curious, you can watch the reels I am creating here: https://www.instagram.com/createyouraffiliateprogram/reels}

    🎉 Favorite In-Person event


    I bought my ticket for Ultimate Product Party last week.  This is the go-to in-person event for product sellers and I am excited to attend it for the third year in a row. {You can read my 2023 event recap here.}

    The 2024 event will be in California… You can grab your ticket here (they offer payment plans to make it an easy yes}.

    This week, I’m working on some fun content for November to share with you, so for today I’m sharing my October favorite things with you!

    BEGINS NOV 1ST: ✨ Make More Together ✨ 4 Week Intensive for Shopify Product Sellers

    On Monday I shared that I was going to be hosting a 4-week Intensive for Shopify Product Sellers who want to set up their affiliate program so they can start selling more of their products every week.

    I’m only making 5 spots available for this, and two are spoken for already. {YAY!}

    This Intensive includes 1 private session with me where we set up your affiliate program tech.

    PLUS 4 weeks of group implementation where we put all of the other pieces of your affiliate program in place {like your welcome sequence, your promo materials, your reach out plan!}

    High touch but low cost to make it an easy yes for you.

    If your goals right now are to sell more of your products from your Shopify store, you’ll want to get your affiliate program set up ASAP by joining us inside the intensive.

    Check out all the details + save your spot here.

    We’ll begin the week of November 1st… I can’t wait!!


    Please note: 3 month payment plans are available.
    Why? Because I know how powerful Affiliate Programs can be for your business, and I don’t want finances to be the reason you don’t sign up for something that will be a complete game-changer for your product sales.
