MARISOL - STRAWBERRY PLANNER
This course is for you if:
  • You already sell printables or digital planners and would love to add physical ones to attract new customers.
  • You are based in a country that will allow you to open an Etsy account or amazon KDP account or your own website. USA is the biggest market for planners so even if you aren't USA based you can still sell in the USA with Etsy, Amazon KDP or on your own website using Print on Demand suppliers.
  • Want to share your expertise or method but being a coach feels a little scary. Creating a planner is a great way to start getting your message out there as you’re building your confidence.

This course is NOT for you if:
  • You can't use Canva, or a similar design tool and don't have access to a designer. If you don't design then purchase print-ready designs. I do include a bonus A4, Letter, A5 planner template with a commercial license which you can customize and add your own flare!
  • The price tag is out of your reach. Although Print on demand offers low start-up costs you will still need some money to order samples. Perhaps you could sell some printables and save up to buy the course next month?





"Encourages action !"

"What I love most about this course, is that it encourages action! There is absolutely nothing like going from an idea on your laptop to holding the physical manifestation in your hands!"

Hi, I’m Chisomo!


The last 6 years have seen my life turn upside, in the best and worst of ways.


Through it I crafted a new dream for what my life could be, then I went after it.


I’ve always loved design and being creative. This passion expands across fashion to interiors and especially planners!


With over 15 years of experience as a fashion designer for the Uk High Street sector, I’ve transferred those skills to start my own printable and planner brand.


I’m sharing how I turned my printable PDFs and brought them to life in the form of   physical planners.


I kept finding that people were DM’ing me or asking how I turned my printables into physical planners so I decided to create a course and share EVERYTHING.




How I got started with physical planners

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. IS THIS A DESIGN COURSE?
No, this course focuses primarily on the steps of taking a pdf/ printable from digital format to physical form.
While I will cover basic design elements If you are brand new you may want to check out this course and use my affiliate link below.


2. I DON’T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO LAUNCH MY PLANNER, WILL I BE ABLE TO DO THIS?
Yes! I primarily use print on demand to print and fulfill my planners. After being in a lot of debt with my previous business I wanted to run Called Out Living debt free. You can set up your planner for free – $50, get a sample $5-50 and get selling!

Print on demand means you only buy a planner when you sell one. So no upfront investment is needed in capital.
I include a Bonus a5 planner template for customizing for Illustrator (compatible with Affinity designer) you can start by selling your customised version as a printable and start making money to invest into your samples.

I also offer 50% commission to my students who want to be affiliates. That means you just need to get 2 people to buy to cover your initial investment!

3. I DON’T HAVE AN AUDIENCE OR EMAIL LIST, CAN I STILL LAUNCH?
Yes! I had a small audience and was desperate to launch something physical but all the gurus I followed said you needed to have an audience. Print on Demand and Etsy was the ideal way for me to get going without a small list.

4. WHAT SORT OF PLANNER CAN I CREATE WITH PRINT ON DEMAND?
With Print on Demand you can create hard cover book planners and journals, plastic spiral books with soft covers, perfect bound books with custom printed internal pages and cover. If you want to create hard cover wire - o books I have a Uk printer but for the USA the minimum would be 25 units but the printer does offer to store and ship out the planners 1 by 1 (drop ship). 
  

5. CAN THIS COURSE HELP ME TO PRINT IN THE FAR EAST?
While I do focus on print on demand as that is what I used mostly, I will be sharing things like how to set up your files, decide on your planner construction which means you’ll have the information needed to print anywhere in the world.

I will share a little on sourcing from Alibaba, I have manufactured goods from China before (found on Alibaba) however for full transparency not planners or paper products.

I include a list of printers that I use, have used or in contact with. Some are USA-based and some U.K and do bulk printing too.

I also have a BONUS interview with a U.K High Street Product developer who shares the process for sourcing from the Far East. The value of the expert interview alone is worth $200.

6. WHAT TOOLS DO I NEED?
You’ll need access to a design tool like Illustrator (what I use), InDesign, Affinity Designer or Canva. It’s possible to use tools like PowerPoint or Apple pages for the design though I don’t cover those.

I cover Canva and Illustrator to set up files and cover files. With the same principles, you can transfer these to other software.

Design files will be in PDF form. I find it helpful to have Adobe acrobat to manage my PDF'S but there are free web browser tools that do the same as well as Mac’s Preview.

7. IS THERE A REFUND?
There are no refunds. The information you gain will help you launch a planner in as little as a month (if you have a workbook or printable).  I’ll also be including an undated weekly planner Illustrator template which you can start to customise immediately and start selling as printable while you wait for your samples. I want students who love planners, will take action and implement what they’ve learned. 

If you’re unsure of anything please email your questions to [email protected]

8. WHAT PRINTERS DO YOU USE?

I share all the printers I use or sampled in the course, but if you’re just wanting a printer name to get started then check out  Amazon KDP.

If you want to create hardcover wire - o planners I have a Uk printer but for the USA the minimum would be 25 units but the printer does offer to store and ship out the planners 1 by 1 (drop ship). I do have other USA printers on my list who do this for low minimums of around 100 units +

In the bonus module "Far East sourcing for beginners" I do cover things like where to find printers, things to check for, Alibaba intro, Shipping, costings, communicating with factories. At the end of the course you should feel comfortable with setting up files and working with anu printer whether it's print on demand, a local printer (in your country/state), or a factory in China.
