Join me March 10, 2026 10 a.m. Mountain Time (US) for a 90-minute intensive workshop where we to go from “I don’t know what to build” to a product chosen, priced, and ready to create — today.

OF FIRST DIGITAL PRODUCTS FAIL — BECAUSE THEY PICKED THE WRONG THING TO BUILD
The problem is almost never that you’re not ready to sell…
…it’s how you’re positioning, pricing and launching it. I’ll show you why in this 90 minute intensive.
WHY MOST PEOPLE FAIL TO MAKE MONEY FROM DIGITAL PRODUTS
They focus on the wrong things. They try to build a masterclass before they’ve proven anyone will Venmo them $37 for anything.This creates months of wasted time on building the wrong thing. And then they decide “digital products don’t work for me.”You need a new path.
The "Hard" Way
Brainstorm product ideas alone for weeks (while making $0)
Build an entire course before making a single sale
Pick a product because a guru said so — not because your audience wants it
Spend 3 months creating something you could’ve built in a weekend
Price it based on anxiety instead of data
Launch to crickets and decide you’re “not the digital product type”
THE PRODUCT MATCH WAY
Mine your existing content for the product your audience is already asking for
Match the right format using real conversion data across 6 product types
Build it this weekend — not next quarter
Price it using buyer psychology that creates customers, not browsers
Ensure your product feeds a bigger business — not a dead-end sale
Launch knowing the data picked it — not your anxiety
Digital Product in a Day Is The Solution
This isn't just another course. It's the exact framework to dismantle the old beliefs that are keeping you broke. We take uncertainty about what to build and replace it with a viable product people want to buy.
We agitate the status quo because staying where you are is costing you more than taking this leap.
You leave with one product selected, priced, and ready to build because every week you spend “thinking about it” is revenue you’ll never recover.

Carrie, what do I need to create my first digital product?
If you have access to the internet and whatever device you are reading this on right now, you already have everything you need to build a profitable digital product.
Most people think they need a bigger audience or a professional designer, They’re wrong. You just need the right product and a system that sells it.
I'll give you the exact framework I used to go from zero to $3,500 months when you join this workshop.
Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve never sold anything before. Can I still sign up?
This is literally designed for you. The whole point is to eliminate the overthinking and give you one clear product to build. You’ll leave knowing exactly what it is, what to charge, and how to create it — today.
What if I don't have a big audience yet?
Good. Creators with 200 subscribers have launched $37 products and made sales in the first week.
Will I actually leave with a product ready to sell?
You’ll leave with your product selected, named, priced, creation path chosen, and a build plan. The workshop is about choosing the RIGHT product — then your bonus Digital Product in a Day guide gives you the exact step-by-step to build and and sell it FAST.
How long do I get access to the replay and materials?
Forever. The replay, Product Match Scorecard, Digital Product in a Day guide, cheat sheet, prompt library, and all materials are yours to keep and reuse for every future product build.
Do I need tech skills or design experience?
Zero. I’ll show you three creation paths you can use that require no coding or design experience.
What if I already have a product idea?
Even better. You’ll run it through the 4-filter system to validate whether it’s the right first product or if there’s a better one hiding that you haven’t seen yet. Most creators discover their best idea isn’t the one they walked in with.
