I Met a Sugar Glider for the First Time

Have you ever met a sugar glider? Well, I have!

I recently met a sugar glider! I didn’t even know these animals existed.

And it reminded me of a bat. Ewwww. But, apparently, people have them as pets. I guess they are kind of cute.

The First Encounter

I went to meet a jewelry designer here in Colorado Springs and when I walked into her home, I saw a really big cage in the back room.

My curiosity got the best of me and I asked her what it was. She said it was for her sugar gliders. She got out a bag that three of them were nestled in and took one out to show me.

And it started crawling all over her. I think it was trying to hide from me. LOL

I don’t think I would ever want one as a pet, but it was interesting to meet a sugar glider in person.

Doing New Things

For my upcoming book launch, I have been doing a lot of new things I’ve never done before.

The jewelry designer I met with is making me bracelets stamped with phrases from my book title. So fun!

I also had a necklace designer create custom necklaces for me.

Aren’t they beautiful?

I will wear them around myself and be marketing my book everywhere I go!!

And I researched places to have printed on demand t-shirts, mugs (they even have my favorite, magic mugs, YAY!!!), and more.

In the Author Automation system, inside Author Audience Academy, I teach my members how to set up a system. It’s a system that will work for them 24/7 to bring in more income from their existing traffic.

One of the ways you do this is by having a “tripwire” product for sale on the thank you page of your email subscriber list.

Well, I decided I better practice what I teach!

So, I’m setting up products and will be offering them to my email subscribers for my book, Broken Crayons Still Color. Fun stuff!

In fact, in our private Facebook group, I share the exact resources I am using for my products. This alone will save you hours upon hours of research.

Believe me, I’ve been doing the research!

I also walk you step-by-step through the process of setting it all up in my Author Automation training in the member’s area.

Aren’t you ready to finally have a marketing system that works for you 24/7?

What would it feel like to see new sales coming in 24/7 from your existing traffic (even while you sleep)?

Join us inside Author Audience Academy and click on the Author Automation icon in the member’s area to get started here: http://www.authoraudienceacademy.com/options/

Then, I’ll see you in our private Facebook group soon where I share everything that’s working for me (and even what’s not). Woot!

End Note

Would you want a sugar glider as a pet? I don’t think I would, but I am glad I met with my jewelry designer and now have several products to offer in my funnel for my book, “Broken Crayons Still Color.”

In fact, I sent out a link to the mug to my beta group only and already made an extra $41.21.

Many times your readers are ready to buy more from you. Once you set it up, you can continue earning more on an ongoing basis. Plus, the impact of your message can go even deeper.
