As someone who is naturally organized with a genuine pleasure for maintaining an up to date calendar and journal, I found myself frustrated while shopping for a journal that could encompass all my needs. I wished everything that I wanted was in one book so I decided to take matters into my own hands and create one.
In the process, I brainstormed ideas and began creating template pages that reflected the features I desired in a journal. Journaling, is a cherished form of self-care for me, so in 2020, before the pandemic unfolded, I created a journal guide called 2020 the Vision of Self Love.
I strategically marketed this book on Amazon so that it could reach a wider audience. The journal featured: a weekly agenda enriched with motivational quotes, a visionary vision board, goal-setting pages, practical meal prep guides, essential travel documents, and 21 thoughtfully self-curated gratitude journal prompts. Covid ultimately impacted sales just a few weeks into the journal’s launch. Despite that, I still managed to generate $500 in revenue due to social media promotion.
