I mentioned in one of my previous articles, that my current computer is not powerful enough to make the videos I want. I am happy to announce that this has changed. I have finally upgraded my computer. And I am super happy about it.

The subscriber count of the newsletter is steadily increasing. It’s currently 73. I believe the next issue will bring in a good amount of new subscribers. And the e-mail open rate for the last issue is pretty good.

And I also applied and got accepted for a new affiliate program. It’s forNotion. The tool I used to create my digital products. And I am planning to make more in the future.
There are a lot of different Notion templates for sales. And if you have creative ideas, you can easily come up with your own. And while you are at it, you can also sign up for the affiliate program to earn extra if someone decides to purchase a paid plan of this tool.
Just don’t forget to read the rules of the affiliate programs you take part in.
