Hey there, Quick question: what's stopped you from selling anything online so far? If you're like most people who reply to these emails, the answer is some version of "I don't have an audience yet." You don't have an email list, and maybe you only have a handful of Instagram followers, mostly friends. So the plan becomes: grow the audience first, sell... someday. ...which becomes never because you get overwhelmed and demotivated. Now, back to that first sale. Here's the thing nobody tells you - I got mine 6 years ago with basically no audience. Yeah! It's true. No big list, no viral post, no ad budget. And that first sale taught me more than six months of "audience building" ever did, because it proved someone would actually pay and where to find customers ! So I put everything I did into a free guide: How To Get Your First Sale With NO AUDIENCE Inside, I walk you through exactly how I did it - where I found my first buyer, what I offered, and the steps you can copy this week, even if your only follower is your mum. Your first sale isn't waiting on 10,000 followers. It's a lot closer than you think. Go get it, Before you go - I've been getting a LOT of emails lately asking about running and growing memberships. I'm only in month 2 of mine, with 31 paying subscribers, so it's all very fresh: what's working, what flopped, what I'd do differently. Want me to write next week's email on it? Hit reply and let me know - if enough of you say yes, I'll collect it all into one email and send it to you! Hit reply and tell me. I read every single email :) Thanks for reading Aisha Preece from Outandbeyond.com PS: I share my bare minimum low-effort strategy to grow my blogs on my Instagram stories — if you want more behind-the-scenes like this, come hang out: @aishapreece PPS; Snail mail for July is nearly ready, I am pretty excited for this as it has a book discussion plus video training from me teaching a skill and a personal story I wont share anywhere else, (so not just stickers and paper, you actually learn skills :)).

Today, I'm dictating this newsletter while cutting stickers that say, "Stop saying yes to shit that you hate" for my October Sparkles of Joy envelope. (crazy how speaking out instead of typing a newsletter has tripled my newsletter productivity) And I want to talk about something that I think a lot of us feel, but don't really talk about. Or perhaps don't even want to admit to ourselves. A while ago, I read Shoe Dog by Phil Knight, the founder of Nike. And while I was reading it, I was struck...
Hello, hello! I'm dictating another email today. This time, I'm dictating it while cutting out the art therapy activity for my October Sparkles of Joy snail mail club. (sign ups are closing in a few days btw!) For this particular activity, I've created a colouring sheet where you can just colour in, switch off your brain and use your hands. There's something quite cathartic about doing something creative without having to think too much. Anyway, today I want to talk about something I...
Hello, hello! I'm trying something new today. Instead of sitting at my desk typing this email, I'm dictating it while cutting out little paper goodies for the October edition of my Sparkles of Joy snail mail club. This month's theme is Beating the Burnout Blues, and it's a topic that's particularly close to my heart. I think we sometimes associate burnout exclusively with work, but burnout can creep into so many different areas of our lives. It can stem from caregiving responsibilities,...
