I’ve been watching your planner videos this evening and it’s been so helpful, thank you. I’ll be looking forward to more videos on this as I’m working on a few planners myself.
Im so glad you found them helpful! I wish you the best on your planner journey!
Just found you! This video is AWESOME! I’m in the process of obtaining my hard copy planners from Overseas and you are speaking the truth, right here!! I am trying to grow my community organically online and it’s work and barely producing any new followers. Like you when I show my samples to my target audience who is not generally an online user due to demographics they can’t wait to buy one. So I’m already considering trade shows and in person events like you mentioned. Thank you, thank you for this video. Good to know you’re not alone in this. Your advice is invaluable!! Following❤
You're welcome girly! Thank you for watching and yes, selling them in person will move product FAST
hey! Suggestion here.. Create a tik tok and start talking about things in your journal that are important example.. since tik tok has 3 minutes 5 minutes and 10 minute options you can have mini consultations with your audience.. in a previous video you said you gave the planners to clients who signed up with you because it was apart of your process to help them. What if you started making a 3 minute video and talked about why its important to plan and write things down for business owners.. you stated in a video that you did both you brainstormed and then you put everything in a google doc to solidify it. Focusing your tik tok content on how important it is to plan, why you fail if you dont, and why writing it and getting everything out your head is vital can start to build an organic audience. then slowly speaking on your options that your audience can purchase.. basically building your personal branding..so people can buy into YOU and the product.. Im on a journey myself to find ways to cultivate money..just a thought !
Thank you for your suggestion :)
Cheers and good luck Lashawnda :)
Thank you so much!
You are amazing giiirrl!😍💯 Much love for you, babe!!🙌🏽💛💜
Thank you girly!
Really appreciate your honesty! Best of Luck 💕
Thank you!
Nice lashanda, very helpful honestly 👍
Thank you!
You’re doing great. Keep going!!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing
This was a great video
Everything you said is exactly what I’ve been trying to tel my man 🙄
He just thinks all you have to have is a product and other it to the world and it will sell
I try to tell him that not how that works 😂🥴
I think for your planners that didn’t sell that well
You should merge them together increase the price a little
And let the covers be dashboards inside the planners
You will have to get larger coils or wires to accommodate the new size
Oh I will DEFINITELY not be doing all of that! lol I am however going to do a blowout sale soon offering them at a very low price to get rid of the rest of them lol And yea alot of people think that if they build it they will come and it just doesn't work like that in most cases.
Thank you for watching! :)
I am going to be selling planners soon along with my business coaching program. I went ahead and purchased your content planner 4 bundle for 100.00! What a steal. Thank you for being vulnerable and keeping it real with us viewers. We appreciate you.

Thank you so much!!! It's very helpful when offering it with your coaching! It's a great addition for sure!
Great ideas
Thank you! I am glad you found it helpful
Hi I love your content and your transparency .. it really helps content creators like me. Have you considered doing a digital planner product that clients can download on demand? I think that might work. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Yes. I would like to create a digital planner as well. I have to learn how to actually create it and make it usable in digital format. But trust me its coming for sure!! Thank you for watching!
Great video 🙏✨💖
Thank you girly!
Thank you for being authentic. Very helpful 😊❤😊
You're welcome! That's the best way to be!
You could create a course and teach people how to make their own planners. I only make mine upon order and do all the work from home 100% solo. It’s super hard work! Way harder than I ever expected. Thank you for your honesty and transparency. Just subbed. ❤
Aww Thank you! 💪🏾💪🏾
Planner, Journal lover here as well.
Do you put the dates in them or do you make them so that the buyer puts in the dates (month, day and year)? Thanks for all of your information.
Great question! All of my planners are undated so that I can sell them year around.
I really enjoy you transparency. I pray increase back to you as you have given to us your knowledge. Gurllll, give or donate those old planners so you can start "Fresh". Waiting to see what's next. Also, in support of your efforts, I'm ordering you book from Amazon.❤
Awww thank you so much!!
where did you sell your planners? did you have your own website?
I sell them through Shopify. And yes I have my own site. It is hosted through Wix and I integrate Shopify onto my site.
Enjoyed the video. Love the social media content planner idea! Have you thought about offering the calendar and planner as a pair/bundle?
Thank you so much for watching! And yes. I am in the process of revising those planners and creating some bundles. 😊
