Blue Sky Suite (Katharyne Shelton) – Curate
This course is carefully structured (or curated!) to give you everything you need to start building a successful digital inventory business. This is perfect for anyone – experienced sellers looking for a new opportunity or complete newbies. We explain everything in simple, step by step terms, while leaving plenty of room for you to bring your own creativity and ideas to the fore.
The success of our coloring book class last year was wonderful. It launched several bestsellers and turned dozens of ordinary people into authors and competing successfully with major publishing houses on Amazon.
Since then, I’ve been gradually moving my own business towards digital products. This transition has freed up more time for my family, cleared more space in my home and has added several simple streams to my income that really run themselves and are easily scalable. I get monthly checks from CreateSpace, Merch, GumRoad and several other platforms and they add up. I’d love to show you how you can also jump on board with digital business.

Benefits of Digital Inventory:
You can work from anywhere (Travel, vacation, home, even the hospital!)
Start for free! You can create your own products without spending a penny (assuming you have a computer and internet access!)
Once products are created, everything is automated. No shipping or returns!
Inventory lasts forever. No replenishment, just scaling!
You take royalties, you don’t pay fees so you invest only time, not money.
Publish: True crime… blank books… biographies… educational materials… information products… beautiful artworks… shirts… and much more. Fast!

The course primarily focuses on CreateSpace, then Merch* and Gumroad. It includes screen-walkthroughs of publishing and selling on each of these platforms. You might be surprised how well they can complement one another and how successful a multipronged approach can be. Choose one, choose all three or apply the concepts of this course to platforms of your choice. Once you complete this course, you’ll be brimming over with ideas for products AND have the tools and skills to publish them yourself.
* We know that not everyone has been able to get access to a Merch account and if that includes you, don’t worry – Curate also includes a guide to the best alternative Print on Demand platforms including walkthroughs of RedBubble, GearBubble, Amazon Custom and some ‘under the radar surprises’, so you should have a selection of great platforms to sell your designs.
So packed full of ideas and information on building an income by curating digital content. She teaches the class in bite size pieces that make it easy to understand and implement.

With digital products I can create and sell from anywhere as long as I have my laptop… and I won’t have to carry a physical inventory along with me.
– Rick Jacobson
Curate is the course I’ve always needed! I’ve been wanting to use public domain content in products for years, but didn’t know exactly how. And now, I should never run out of ideas. What a goldmine!

Why ‘Curate’ ?
When most people think about producing a book, they imagine hours of work battling writer’s block, bashing at a typewriter after midnight and chewing endless pencils. (Been there, drank enough coffee to prove it!)
But right now… my partner, Isaac and I frequently publish two, three, even four books in an evening. Sometimes more. And they rank higher on Amazon.com than books which have taken months or years of work. The great thing is… once they’re up, they’re up. I created a jewelry line in one evening without spending a cent. Our t-shirt business keeps growing.
The reason we can do this is that we stopped writing and started curating.
There are hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of resources out there that are ethical, legal and free for you to use in any way you like. Museums full of art, libraries full of books and databanks of information!
For example, the National Institute of Mental Health has dozens of up to date publications available on topics ranging from stress management to eating disorders… and check out their copyright information.
“NIMH information and publications are in the public domain and may be reproduced or copied without permission. NIMH encourages you to reproduce them and use them in your efforts to improve public health.”
They ENCOURAGE you to reproduce their information! This is fantastic. And there are thousands more sites out there, stuffed full of data, information, text, artwork, music, video and more. All free for you to use.
Think of curation as a digital treasure hunt – find valuable pieces of media that have been overlooked or hidden, dust them off and deliver them to the people who will love them.
If you’ve sold books on Amazon Marketplace, this may be a lightbulb moment. Instead of scouting book sales and sending books to Amazon, why not just create them yourself? Your book goes on sale at Amazon, it’s available with Prime shipping but you don’t have to worry about replenishing it, paying storage fees or dealing with customer service.
I’ll be sharing a wealth of ideas for you to create, even if you are not a writer or artist. And I’ll be showing you what is working for me. You only need basic computer skills to get working on these ideas.

Additional tools you may also like to use (Optional):
For CreateSpace, I recommend Adobe InDesign for designing stationery and Adobe Acrobat Pro DC to manipulate PDF files. I walk through both of these options in the course.
For simple, good graphics results, I recommend Canva For Work which is $12.95 a month. If you are already skilled with Photoshop, Gimp or Illustrator, then that’s even better! Use those 🙂
A primer tutorial on Photoshop is included in the course.
