\"I'm
\nHello all, it’s been a while since I wrote a post about just thoughts and stuff on the blog. I kind of miss it, do you miss it?
\nYou see, I’m not much of a writer or thought sharer really, and putting what I’m feeling into words can be a little emotionally draining. Emma is kind of challenging at the best of times, so I really don’t have that kind of energy to spare. I’ve been loving sharing my DIY project tutorials, and am really enjoying the challenge of thinking creatively. Emma is in pre-school only three hours a day, so sometimes it’s hard to fit everything in, I really do need to work on my time management skills a whole lot more.<\/p>\n

I have a very eclectic work style and sometimes an idea just hits me and I work on it manically, other times it sits on my to-do list for months (or even years!)
\nI have so many projects on my list that I will probably never get to because as soon as that little light bulb in my brain lights up, I just drop everything and work insanely on my new idea (it’s very inconvenient). If I let that moment pass, the passion goes and then that idea will end up gathering dust with the rest of my giant pile of to-do’s.<\/p>\n

So you can imagine my annoyance when in bed on Friday night I suddenly felt the urge to start writing an eBook, I was looking forward to a relaxing weekend! I started writing on Saturday morning and haven’t really stopped, it’s been a 4 day marathon writing session and I need to keep going till all my words are on the screen. You see, I’m worried that if I stop I’ll lose momentum and that will be it, nothing to show after all that work.
\nNeedless to say he kid has been watching a lot of DVD’s, but I’m not going to beat myself up about it.<\/p>\n

Why am I telling you all this? Two reasons really.
\n1. My energy is fading and I need someone (you guys) to keep me accountable. I’m going to set a launch date now and stick to it. Personal deadlines can shift all too easily (The Lucky Draw Project<\/a> was 6 months late), but publicly announced deadlines seem more concrete and have the power to keep me motivated.<\/p>\n

2. I want to share my exciting idea! Some of you may think it’s exciting (Yay!), others will yawn, and that’s totally ok, because the topic of my e-book is so niche that it doesn’t really have mass appeal to everyone.
\nBut<\/strong> the people that need it will love it! (I hope).
\nOk, so tell us already!<\/em>
\nMy new eBook (title undecided) will be an instructional guide to selling digital PDF products online<\/strong>. Ta da!
\nI know lot’s of you want to know the nitty gritty of all the stuff because I get asked about it ALL THE TIME!<\/p>\n

I’m going to answer questions like:
\nWhy should I sell digital products?
\nWhat’s so good about PDF’s?
\nHow do I make one?
\nWhat programs can I use?
\nWhere can I sell my digital products and how?
\nBut how SPECIFICALLY? I want to know about specific products and platforms, the Pro’s and Con’s of each!
\nSEO?
\nWhat does Copyright mean?
\nHow do I market my product?
\nand some other stuff too…<\/p>\n

Did I miss anything?<\/p>\n

It’s very meta – an eBook about eBooks. I love the word meta<\/em>.
\nBut not only eBooks, also Patterns, Printables etc…whatever you can imagine.<\/p>\n

This is stuff I’ve been slowly and painfully learning for ages and that no one tells you. So I want to tell you. If I had all this information when I started my life would have been sooo much easier!<\/p>\n

What do you think? Is that something you would find helpful? Are you even interested at all?<\/p>\n

So I’m going to make the kid some dinner now and get back to work. If I drop off the Instagram radar for a few days now you know why.<\/p>\n

Do you get ideas out of the blue and just work on them obsessively, or are you a slow and steady kind of person?<\/p>\n

Oh the launch date:
\n20th of June<\/strong> (that gives me about 2 weeks, wish me luck)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
