Warm-up

Day 1. Set up your business email

Why this matters. A separate inbox keeps customer questions, platform notices and recovery messages easy to find. Good password habits make the rest of the season easier to manage.

  1. Create a dedicated business email address and add a recovery method.
  2. Open a password manager, save a unique password and turn on two-step verification for the new inbox.
  3. Write down three scam red flags: guaranteed income, pressure to pay immediately and a seller who hides their identity or refund terms.

Day 2. Make time and write your why

Why this matters. A reason you can say plainly makes it easier to protect your work time. A calendar block gives the reason a place to become action.

  1. Write why you want to build this business and who it could help.
  2. Open your calendar and reserve one hour on each day you can realistically work.
  3. Choose a 15-minute fallback task for busy days.

Day 3. Pick your play

Why this matters. A single business model gives you a fair test of your effort. Each path has a different kind of work, so choose one you can keep doing.

  1. Read the three paths on Today.
  2. Write one thing you like doing and one task you want to avoid.
  3. Choose affiliate marketing, a licensed product or a simple service for your first 30 days.

Day 4. Pick a reader and one problem

Why this matters. A page for everybody usually leaves the reader guessing. A specific person and problem make your first offer easier to explain.

  1. Describe one person in a specific situation using a sentence.
  2. Find three real questions from public discussions and note the wording without names.
  3. Choose the question you can answer with one small result.

Day 5. Shortlist offers or a product

Why this matters. A shortlist helps you spot gaps in a recommendation before a reader does. Clear terms are part of a useful offer.

  1. List three affiliate offers or one product you could sell.
  2. Check what each includes, who owns it, the refund terms and any promotion or license restrictions.
  3. Choose the best fit for your reader and write one reason you would pass on it.

Day 6. Tour LeadsLeap

Why this matters. A quick tour makes the dashboard less intimidating. You only need the tools that help you collect permission, deliver a gift and understand clicks.

  1. Open LeadsLeap from the Gear Room and create a free account.
  2. After signing in, locate List Manager, Page Manager and the link tracker.
  3. Bookmark the Gear Room and write which tool you will use first.

Day 7. Review and rest

Why this matters. A review makes completed work visible and gives unfinished work a clear next step. Rest gives the plan room to fit around your life.

  1. Look at Days 1–6 and tick what you actually finished.
  2. Write one lesson and one thing you can leave until later.
  3. Choose the first action for Day 8 and stop for the day.

Day 8. Choose your free website or page

Why this matters. Your first web address gives readers somewhere reliable to go. A single working page can carry the first experiment.

  1. Read the Free Website page and check what hosting would cost you.
  2. Choose a ready-made site for your hosting or one hosted capture page in LeadsLeap.
  3. Write what goes on your first page and save the address when you have it.

Day 9. Decide on a free gift

Why this matters. A useful free download makes it clear what a subscriber will get. A narrow promise is easier to deliver and test.

  1. Return to your reader’s question from Day 4.
  2. Draft three small resources, such as a checklist, script or template.
  3. Choose one and finish this sentence: use this to do ___ in one sitting.

Day 10. Create the gift

Why this matters. A short, tested resource gives your welcome email something helpful to deliver. You can start with your own draft or material you have permission to adapt.

  1. Draft one page with AI assistance or find a licensed resource and check its permissions.
  2. Edit it in your own words, check every instruction and add a worked example.
  3. Export to PDF and open it on your phone.

Day 11. Build your capture page

Why this matters. A capture page gives the reader one place to request your gift. The clearer the promise and the next action, the easier it is to spot a problem in a test.

  1. Open Page Manager in LeadsLeap and start a simple page.
  2. Add the gift headline, one useful detail and your list’s email form.
  3. Preview on a phone and publish when the form and consent text are visible.

Day 12. Write a thank-you page

Why this matters. The thank-you page tells the subscriber what happens next. It prevents confusion if the download arrives after confirmation.

  1. Add a new page with a clear thank-you headline.
  2. Tell the subscriber which email to open, what to click and where to look if it is missing.
  3. Set the sign-up redirect to your new page and save it.

Day 13. Set up your welcome email

Why this matters. The welcome email is the first promise you have to keep. Make the download easy to find and give the reader one thing to do with it.

  1. Open the list and find its automated follow-up settings.
  2. Write a plain subject, paste the gift link and add one instruction for using it.
  3. Set delivery after confirmation and preview the sender name and unsubscribe link.

Day 14. Test the full route

Why this matters. Testing with a fresh address shows what a new subscriber sees. A working page alone says little about what happens in the inbox.

  1. Open the live capture page in a private browser window on a phone.
  2. Submit a fresh test email and follow the thank-you and confirmation steps.
  3. Open the first email, tap the download and note what to fix before sharing the page.

Day 15. Write five follow-ups

Why this matters. A short sequence gives you room to teach before you recommend anything. Each email should have a reason to exist on its own.

  1. Create five drafts: deliver, quick win, common mistake, example and recommendation.
  2. Give each draft one action and read it aloud for clarity.
  3. Place the five drafts in your follow-up editor and set a realistic cadence.

Day 16. Use affiliate links and disclose them

Why this matters. People deserve to know when a recommendation could pay you. A visible disclosure and a working link make the arrangement clear.

  1. Copy the approved referral link from the program’s dashboard.
  2. Place a plain commission disclosure near the recommendation before the reader reaches the link.
  3. Open the link in a fresh browser tab and check the destination.

Day 17. Create a tracking link

Why this matters. A tracking link helps you tell which placement brought the visit. Separate labels make later decisions easier.

  1. Open the link tracker in LeadsLeap and add a new tracked URL.
  2. Name it for the channel and placement, such as guide-footer.
  3. Open it yourself once, verify the final page and look for the visit in the tracker.

Day 18. Build a simple bridge page

Why this matters. A bridge page explains what happens before a reader visits an outside offer. It gives you room to say who the tool suits and where it may fall short.

  1. Write the problem, the offer’s fit and one limitation.
  2. Add your commission disclosure and one button to the official offer.
  3. Open the page on your phone and follow the complete route.

Day 19. Publish one useful answer

Why this matters. One specific answer gives your audience a way to find you. It also tells you which part of your explanation people still need help with.

  1. Choose a question from Day 4.
  2. Write the answer first, then add three steps and one example.
  3. Publish where your reader already looks for answers and add a related link only where it fits.

Day 20. Record a short video

Why this matters. A short demonstration can show the exact click a written answer skips. A screen recording or hands-only shot is enough to start.

  1. Pick one small action and outline the before and after.
  2. Record the screen or your hands, hiding personal details and notifications.
  3. Trim the pauses, check captions and upload to your chosen channel.

Day 21. Review and rest

Why this matters. A small review shows which work is already useful and which part needs another pass. Give the test time to collect observations.

  1. Check Days 15–20 and identify what you published.
  2. Write one thing someone could already use and one point of confusion.
  3. Leave a single next action for Day 22 and step away.

Day 22. Plan free traffic

Why this matters. Traffic means visits from people who have a reason to care. One place to publish gives you cleaner feedback than several inconsistent channels.

  1. Pick one channel where your audience asks questions.
  2. Write three answers you can publish this week and pick a day for each.
  3. Give each link a distinct source label and record the starting numbers.

Day 23. Try LeadsLeap credit ads

Why this matters. Credit ads let you try a message in the member network before paying for traffic elsewhere. A separate link makes this test easier to read.

  1. Open LeadsLeap and find the credit ads or advertising area.
  2. Read the rules, then write an ad with one clear reason to visit.
  3. Add a tracked destination and check your visit and sign-up counts separately.

Day 24. Answer questions in one community

Why this matters. A helpful answer gives someone a reason to remember you. A community’s rules tell you which kinds of participation fit.

  1. Choose a place your reader already visits and read its posting rules.
  2. Answer a fresh question with a concrete example before adding any links.
  3. Save any follow-up question as an idea for your next post.

Day 25. Pick YouTube or Pinterest

Why this matters. Video and visual search reward different kinds of material. Choose the place where your existing explanation is easiest to show.

  1. Choose YouTube for a demonstration or Pinterest for a useful visual.
  2. Draft a title around the reader’s question and create one piece.
  3. Publish it and record where you linked the relevant resource.

Day 26. Email your list for the first time

Why this matters. A one-off email lets you respond to what readers need this week. It should still match what they agreed to receive.

  1. Open the broadcast or one-time send screen for your confirmed list.
  2. Write a useful subject and a short note with one action.
  3. Send yourself a test, check links and unsubscribe, then schedule or send to your list.

Day 27. Read the stats

Why this matters. Counts help you see where the next useful question is. A few visits are enough to spot a broken link, but rarely enough to judge the whole offer.

  1. Write down visits, sign-ups, confirmations and clicks for the same period.
  2. Check whether you used consistent links and time ranges.
  3. Circle the earliest step where something looks wrong and verify it yourself.

Day 28. Fix the weakest link

Why this matters. Changing one thing makes it easier to learn what helped. A broken handoff is usually worth fixing before rewriting a whole page.

  1. Use Day 27 to choose the first broken or confusing step.
  2. Change just that step and retest on a phone.
  3. Record the date, what changed and what you will check next.

Day 29. Plan the next 30 days

Why this matters. A repeatable plan gives useful work a chance to compound. The next month should reflect what you actually learned this month.

  1. Pick one objective you can observe, such as four useful answers published.
  2. Schedule a weekly review and three work blocks for the first week.
  3. Write the first action and one thing you will pause for this month.

Day 30. Review the season and choose what’s next

Why this matters. Your first month gives you work to keep and evidence to learn from. Progress can include a tested page, a clearer offer or a better question from a reader.

  1. Count the days and assets you completed and note one lesson.
  2. Pick your next build: a free website, a $0 funnel or a practical tutorial from the Film Room.
  3. Book the first session of your next season.
