Get ‘em before they’re gone: Retiring 2 ebooks

by Amy on March 14, 2013

To make room for more goodies, I am retiring 2 of my ebooks at the end of May – SO I’ve dropped the price by more than 50% until they’re gone!!

SELF-LOVE: 22 ways to make your heart happy is being retired

This ebook is an extension of one of my most popular posts ever: 5 easy ways to make your heart happy. The content will still be available – the ebook will be added to Onward and Upward for this fall and going forward

This ebooks stems from my deep commitment to my own mental health and well-being …. and my hope that all of you have a similar dedication.

I know that not everything goes right all the time.

I know that the blog-world has a tendency to make life look happy and shiny.

I know that bad days WILL come ….

So having a handy list of ways to boost your mood and make your heart happy is your best defense against the inevitable….

SELF LOVE: 22 ways to make your heart happy is a sweet little ebook full of all the ways that I try to keep my mood uplifted.

Sure, sometimes I whine and complain (ask my husband) …. but that doesn’t do any one any good, does it?

Much better to do things like buy yourself a mini-luxury at the grocery store, or have a solo dance party and make your heart happy…

My favorite part of this ebook is how PRACTICAL it is …. virtually ANY of the 22 tips in this book you could implement today. This afternoon. As soon as you download the ebook!

Treat yourself for the new year ….

The price has been dropped more than 50% to $7 for these next 2 months until it is officially retired.

Add to Cart

I am also retiring the Better Blog Content Workbook.

This was my VERY FIRST ebook! Super exciting, so much care and love put into this ebook….. but it’s time to move on.

The content will still be available – the Better Blog Content Workbook will be folded into a MUCH much bigger, more thorough blogging ecourse.

SO if you’re only interested in improving your blog content (and not at all interested in improving your design, community, marketing, monetization or anything else), be sure to grab the Better Blog Content Workbook.

The Better Blog Content Workbook covers

  • many many more chapters – including post formatting, using images, working with sponsors and so much more
  • additional resources for each chapter
  • tips and ideas
  • researched information
  • actionable steps
  • and worksheets to guide your next steps in creating better blog content.

The price has been dropped more than 50% to $12 for these next 2 months until it is officially retired.

Both of these ebooks will be retired May 31 – so grab them now!

One Year of Journaling Prompts: self-paced email courses

by Amy on January 1, 2013

SO excited to announce the newest release from Lemon and Raspberry – you can now get journaling prompts sent directly to you in your inbox under a couple different themes.

one year of journaling large rectangle

Make this next year the year you journal YOUR STORY.

Your story of your everyday life right now. One year of your everyday.

Your story of the first year of you and your love – however long you’ve been together. Your first year together.

Journal your story using these prompts as a jumping off point every week. Journal your story to see where you’ve been and recognize patterns you may not have seen. Journal your story to discover things about yourself.

Sign-up for one (or both) of the email series and get a journaling prompt in your inbox once a week, every week for a year! You can sign up at any time and get a year of email prompts to keep you busy for 52 weeks!

Take time every week to journal part of your story – whether that is for your blog, your Project Life album, or just for yourself.

Sylvia Plath

Topics include ….

Under One Year of Everyday, journal things like how you reward yourself, what’s the best part about your life right now and what you’ve been eating.

For the Our First Year Together series, journal things like surprises that first year, your first homemade meal and how you met.

There’s so many ways to interpret each journaling prompt – depending on YOUR story.

I’ve collected an eclectic collection of contributors to underscore the eclectic collection of meanings you can glean from the prompt.

Contributors include all kinds of points of view – from someone who just celebrated her 35th year of marriage to someone who has just celebrated a year of living on her own with her boyfriend. Some of these ladies have full-time jobs outside the home, some have more-than-full-time-from-home work keeping them occupied.

Sign-up for one or both of the email series and you can see how the contributors interpret and use the prompts.

I’ll even be throwing in periodic *bonus* emails to give you ideas for how to use the prompts!

Learn more about HOW IT WORKS

Sign-up for the One Year of Everyday email series or the Our First Year email series

and remember – today only, Jan 1, the registration is 30% off!

Onward and Upward registration starts today!

by Amy on August 13, 2012

It’s here!

Onward and Upward 2012 registration is now open!

Last fall we had such a special group of ladies all working together to really find their GREAT WORK and work toward that.

 

Onward and Upward is an 8-week online workshop that will help you get out of your rut and take things to the next level.

Once, not long ago, someone close to me made a crack about my ‘day job.’

Now, I’m definitely a sarcastic person and 99 times out of 100 I can totally take whatever I dish out.

But this time was different.

This time it hurt.

Not just because it was true.

This little jab from someone close to me hurt because it was something I had been thinking myself and was kind of ashamed of.

She was joking about how what I do for work doesn’t make a difference to anyone.

Which is exactly what I was thinking when I started working on this class material.

We all have work we were put on this earth to do – it’s time to really discover what that is.

And act on it.

Through this workshop we will work together and work through:

  • recognizing the details of your life that make you most happy
  • discovering what your GREAT WORK is
  • working through any fear or hesitation in giving ourselves permission to do that GREAT WORK
  • encouraging each other how to best seek and do that GREAT WORK
  • gathering the action steps to make it happen
  • … and more!

The workshop begins bright and early Tuesday, September 4, but the private blog will be open immediately upon registration.

Onward and Upward 2012 will include, in addition to the scheduled workshop material:

  • weekly reads – extra links and resources to supplement the class
  • audio recordings of each session to add to your iPod or burn to a CD
  • private forum just for workshop attendees
  • sidebar column of blog buttons for each attendee’s site

This is really going to be a community where you can be open, be honest, and maybe even be vulnerable.

That said, please do NOT enroll if:

  • you have never made any mistakes
  • you always are right
  • you look down on others

(I honestly don’t believe anyone like that would even read Lemon and Raspberry, so I’m not super worried :) )

You can check out a breakdown of the workshop – or some FAQs here

Now available: CONNECT: A simple template to getting the most out of guest posting

by Amy on May 15, 2012

For the last few weeks we’ve been talking a lot about guest posting here at Lemon and Raspberry … From an overview of how to craft and pitch a guest post to why you would even want to.

(and yet I’m still getting those generic emails from spammers offering “developing content partnerships with good quality blogs and websites like yours” …. with ZERO specifics as I have pointedly requested.)

I love the practice of guest posting – both giving and receiving. In the 6+ years I’ve been blogging, I’ve have DEFINITELY found guest posting to be one of the most effective ways of promoting my site.

Guest posting can be used for

  • Marketing. Growing your audience, gaining a few more customers, increasing your visibility.
  • Networking. You will start to connect with new readers and other blog authors and start to gain name recognition in your little industry
  • Practice. Practice practice practice. Writing well takes practice and the more you do it the better you will be.

I try to brainstorm a guest post whenever I’m sponsoring a site, as well as every couple months in between sponsoring a site.

But any guest post I write, I always have a goal. I always have a reason for the guest post. And I always give that new audience a reason to come visit Lemon and Raspberry. And it has WORKED. Worked to grow my audience (in REAL numbers). Worked to make sales (tracked directly to guest posts).

I figure, if it’s working for me if can work for you too ….

So today I am releasing my super-simple guest posting template: Connect

Written by me and designed by Allie Trumpower, Connect contains the basic structure to help you build a guest post that both connects with new readers, and guides them to follow-up with you to help grow your business or blog audience.

The simple structure outlined in this pdf is easy-to-use and perfectly adaptable to any subject or niche you may be blogging about.

This new guest post template – Connect – gives specific steps to crafting a guest post that is both promotional for your new product or service, but also intimately connects with the reader in a way that does not feel “salesy”.

TODAY ONLY (May 15, 2012) – Connect is 30% off

Add to Cart

Click on through, download the template, read it today and send me your guest post pitch. One of the easy ways to improve your business right now!

You will be well on your way to growing your blog audience, connecting with new customers and increasing your sales.

Let me know if you have questions and how guest posting has worked for you!

New eBook on its way!

by Amy on December 13, 2011

SO I haven’t had a chance to really start decorating for Christmas because we’ve been so busy – out of town 3 weekends in a row.

I haven’t had a chance to plan our New Year’s Eve because I’ve been so busy house shopping for our first house!

I haven’t had a chance to read Storyology or The Blogger’s Guide to Online Marketing or any other ebook I’ve purchased in the last few months because I’ve been so busy trying to keep up with my blog posts!

All that to say, I need a break. I need to relax, and I need to find a way to refresh my spirit.

About a year ago, I published one of Lemon and Raspberry’s most popular posts: 5 ways to make your heart happy. Since then I’ve only been adding to the list of small, completely affordable ways to brighten your own day, make your heart happy and give yourself a break.

I am thrilled to announce the release of my new ebook – tentatively titled Self-Love: 22 Ways to Make your Heart Happy – coming January 1, 2012! This ebook takes the 5 ideas already posted and expands into a list of 22 ways to add a little bit of joy to your life. Nearly one for every other week of the year!

Just a little something you can do to take care of your mental health and give yourself an (affordable) treat!

The ebook will be available the same day as the L&R 2nd annual New Year’s blog party!

Make sure you are signed up for the L&R newsletter email list – those friends will get the first whisper of ebook availability!

Or, of course, be sure to stop by several times during the day January 1, 2012 for the blog party! eBook details, a discount AND a giveaway will be available then!

Any questions? Leave them in the comments below!

Thanksgiving weekend Lemon and Raspberry Sale!

by Amy on November 23, 2011

I’m not a fan of shopping on Black Friday. I don’t like shopping any time but between the crowds and making those poor store employees work on the holiday I would much rather stay home …

But online shopping I can do :)

That said …

From NOW through Monday night EVERYTHING from Lemon and Raspberry is 30% off!

And by EVERYTHING I mean ….

ALL my ebooks – Including the Better Blog Content Workbook, Tell Its Story and The Finishing Manifesto. …. You can grab all 3 for less than $35 with the discount!

PLUS consulting time – reserve your hour or more now for 30% off, and we’ll schedule the time for next month, or even early next year if you prefer!

PLUS access to Onward and Upward 2011 – The workshop itself is over, so you won’t be getting the full experience including interaction with other students (and me), but you can read/save all the archives and read through the posts at your leisure.

Best part? The 30% discount is

  • effective immediately and
  • automatic. No need to worry about a discount code

But, remember! Sale ends MONDAY night!

Let me know if you have any questions …. and have a GREAT great holiday weekend!
