You’re offering a feel-good product that resonates.
And better yet — it’s low-cost, low-effort, and full of upside.
The 7-Day Daily Affirmation Plan
✅ Day 1: Pick a Niche + Tone
- Choose who you’re making these cards for — new moms, students, women in burnout, spiritual seekers, etc.
- Then decide the vibe: calm, funny, serious, woo-woo, etc.
- Write or generate 20–40 short affirmations.
Think: “You are not behind.” or “Breathe. You’ve got this.”
✅ Day 2: Design Your First Cards
- Open Canva → use a layout around 3×4 inches (standard card size)
- Pick a font and color palette that fits the vibe
- Design 1–3 affirmations today, testing font sizes and layout styles
Keep it ultra-clean. Whitespace is your friend.
✅ Day 3: Build the Affirmation Cards Deck
- Design 15–30 more cards, all with consistent style
- Stick to the same font, colors, and alignment
- Export as high-res PDF (for printing) and JPG/PNG (for mockups)
You now have a complete digital card product.
✅ Day 4: Package It for Sale
- Zip your files (PDFs + a usage note or mini guide)
- Upload to Gumroad (for digital only) or Etsy (digital or printable)
- Give it a warm, vibe-led name: “30 Calming Affirmations for Burnt-Out Brains” etc
Price it between £7–£10
✅ Day 5: Create Mockups
- Use SmartMockups or Canva to show cards on a table, in a hand, or fanned out
- Create a square thumbnail + 2–3 lifestyle previews
- These visuals are what sell the feeling
You’re not selling files — you’re selling daily emotional support.
✅ Day 6: Share Softly, Then Strategically
- Post in relevant Facebook groups, Pinterest boards, or affirmation communities
- Say something like: “Made these printable affirmation cards this week — calming reminders for [X audience]”
Let the product speak for itself.
✅ Day 7: Get a Win or Learn
- DM friends, mutuals, or micro-creators and ask if they’d check it out
- Offer a discount to the first 3–5 buyers
- No traction? Change the mockups, or tweak the niche/language
- Sales or not — you’ve now launched a product into the world.
Your first deck teaches you how to design, package, sell, and promote.
