The Best of 2021
by Vervante •
If you’re like us, as the New Year approaches it’s very exciting to think about new projects and new possibilities. But one thing we like to take a moment for as well is to reflect on the past year. Celebrate, learn, and take what we’ve experienced to make our future even better.
As we move forward, we thought it would be fun to invite you to look back with us at some of the best of what we put out this year - new products, enhanced services, and ideas that can help you share your talents in a bigger way. So here's our Best of 2021, wrapped up with a sparkly bow!
#1 Author / Entrepreneur Empowerment
Our bottom line is to help the people we work with succeed, so we are always looking for new ways to educate and empower our customers. During the past year we posted even more guides, how-to's, and instructions to help you take action, turn your ideas into products, and make the process as easy and lucrative as possible.

Planning for the future is always fun, and this year planners continued to rule as one of the hottest products to create, sell, and share.
