It’s creative collateral that drives traffic back to your website, raises your brand awareness to a brand new audience, positions you as the expert and you get paid for the stationery you sell.
** disclaimer: All results vary, it won’t work unless you do. There are no guarantees that your stationery will sell.

No more buying expensive, custom stationery — now you can learn how to create the products you need, all on your own!
IN MAY 2020 AMAZON.COM HAD OVER 2.5 BILLION VISITS TO THEIR SITE
100 million of those users are Prime users.

Imagine, if your on brand notebook tapped into just 0.01% of that!
Learn how in my DIY workshop
‘Cat did a guest training spot for my 6FE membership, for our theme of monthly recurring revenue. She shared how to reach the world with your brand AND get paid whilst you do it, with Branded Books. Over 60 people signed up on the spot and with Cat’s training, they were sharing their books in the group…the very next day!’

Templates at first thought seem like a shortcut and a way to increase sales but….if you’re buying templates so are 1000s of other people. This lesson focuses on the pros and cons as well as linking to the only templates we recommend as it’s a minefield out there.

‘It’s been a total game changer for me and my biz!! Highly recommend anyone to do your course’
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
There are three short video lessons and a bonus video lesson to show you how to maked lined interiors with Canva. All videos are step-by-step walkthrough lessons so you can watch, pause, rewind and play at your own pace.
WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED?
This is a purely DIY course therefore there is NO SUPPORT via email, messenger or otherwise.
Why? Because there is tons of value in doing things at your own pace and for this super budget friendly cost we don’t have capacity to answer the tons of emails we get.
Support is only available as part of the Branded Books Community which only opens a few times per year. The monthly membership gives you access to get support, ask questions and a boost to help your sales.
When you join Branded Books you’ll automatically be added to our VIP email list to let you know when this opens.
I’M NOT A DESIGNER?
You don’t need to have a creative bone in your body. Canva is a completely free tool that gives you inspiration and a super easy way to create your books.
If you are a designer, then go for it. What a great way to showcase your skills and portfolio through the medium of books on an international stage.
DO I NEED FANCY SOFTWARE?
Nope. One of our core values is to show you how to do all this with completely free tools.
WILL MY HOUSE BE FULL OF INVENTORY?
Nope. The beauty of what I teach you means you don’t have to guesstimate inventory or clog up your house with unsold Branded Books.
You create your book. Someone orders it. It gets printed (not by you) and shipped automatically to the customer. Even if they ask for a refund it doesn’t affect you as you are not the seller.
DO I HAVE TO PAY TAX?
It is your responsibility to create your account and add your tax details for the part of the world you reside in so you keep your account in good standing.
Make sure you have a method of receiving income before you join us e.g. bank account or Payoneer account
REFUNDS
Please read our Ts+Cs carefully before purchasing (link to Ts+Cs at the checkout and you must tick to agree).
Due to the nature of this being a digital product, you get immediate access therefore you waive your right to a refund as soon as you purchase the product.
Therefore we advise to be sure before you go through checkout and purchase.
