For about the 11 millionth time, I just saw a post on FB from a woman asking how to best collect PayPal money for her creations and then send invoices manually and get a shipping address, and then how to use said shipping address to send packages in the most cost effective way (hint- it's not through PayPal.) That is called a barrier to selling, and manual labor. You cannot make sales on autopilot if you are manually sending PayPal invoices to people. I encourage you to think about ease of selling and look at sites like Payhip.com, Indiemade.com, and even Etsy. SIMPLE is better than perfect, and automated is better than manual. For shipping, look at Pirateship.com. I heard about them straight from the source about 13 years ago and never looked back. Stepping down from soapbox :) Creative Income Society members- we have a meeting on Wednesday, and we're going over exactly this- making offers, buttoning up our sales process, and refining what we are selling. Hope to see you there!

There are several new faces in here, thank you so much for joining us! I've been a little quiet- because I've been doing my own back end/year end buttoning up and planning for 2026. If you are a Creative Income Society member, the year end review is ready for you inside. If you just joined give me a moment to approve your Society membership for access.

Masterclass and resources are now available inside Creative Income Society in the classroom.

They re 88% right…. Good odds. I watched several predictions from last year blow up - fisherman, grandpa, cherries…. Take a look and start planning. How can you ride a trend or two? https://business.pinterest.com/pdf/pinterest-predicts/2026-marketing-playbook/
