John Thornhill Personal Coaching: Week 5

This week has brought a huge buzz of excitement for me!
We have started to create our own product.
Firstly, we read Paula Brett’s excellent book about writing an ebook – Emergency Surgery – Operation ebook. (See My Review). It’s an excellent, easy to understand  guide for anyone who is wanting help with getting ideas, or wanting a system to follow for getting a book written.

We developed the title of our product and ordered the domain name and the graphics.

The graphics were what caused me my big buzz. At John’s recommendation, I ordered them from Planet Divinity. It was my first time buying professionally designed graphics and I was a bit wary of parting with my money, but I decided there was no point in doing the course if I was not going to follow advice. So I paid the very reasonable fee, filled in the order form, sent off some of my own photos for the designer to use and waited to see what I would get.

I did not have long to wait. One friendly email communication from the designer (about my photos) and a mere 48 hours later I had my web page template, complete with buy now button and a few other incidentals, and my product cover in two sizes.

To say I was thrilled with the design is an understatement. It is gorgeous! The colours are just as I had visualized them and my photo that I was not sure would be any good just leaps off the page with energy.

I am very pleased I followed John’s advice to get professional graphics. It saved me hours of struggle and got me a great result I could never have achieved myself. As for Planet Divinity, I am so impressed with their service they will be my graphic designers for life.
