Sometimes you just see the prettiest romance book covers and the color palettes are super inspired. As a partner of Olive&June nail products, I thought it would be fun to match up their nail polish colors to the book covers that catch my eye. Affiliate links are used throughout this post and if you use the code “OliviaP20” at the Olive&June website, you’ll get 20% off manicure kits there. I hope that you find these match-ups just as fun as I do!

Just for fun, I made some printable floral bookmarks that I’m excited to share with you. They’re super simple, but super pretty, and easy for you to use. Just download, print onto cardstock, cut out, and enjoy! Available for a pay-what-you-want price, which basically means free, but I would appreciate any funds you contribute to my book fund.

Now that you’re totally skilled at brush lettering, it’s time to share it and make some money.

There are a few ways you could make money from your lettering:

• Sell your services (envelopes, signs, design).
• Sell products (art prints, t-shirts, tote bags).
• Teach lettering (workshops, online classes).
• Earn affiliate commission by sharing your favorite classes or supplies.

To get attention for any of those things, you need to have your own website or blog.

Why?

• You get to create a portfolio of your best work (and show off the kind of work you want to be known for).
• You get to tell your story.
• You get to build an audience that doesn’t depend on social media (or its wacky algorithms).

Step one of creating a money-making machine with your lettering is to make a website.

There are tons of tutorials you could cobble together on how to get started, but I recommend referring to a comprehensive source that walks you through all the steps you need to build a blog.

If you need help starting a blog, Abby from Just a Girl and Her Blog can help. Abby and her husband Donnie are full time bloggers, and they just released their third edition of Building a Framework: The Ultimate Blogging Handbook.

Framework teaches the best practices for all of the most major areas of blogging– getting set up, growing an email list, driving traffic to your site, growing your social media channels, working with brands, growing an income, and more.

You don’t have to do a bunch of research or guessing, trying to figure it all out. Framework covers it all for you.

Are you getting ready for the holidays? I like to celebrate with extra cake and cookies. (Maybe you do too!)
