FOUNDING BETA TESTERS WANTED
Build your First Sale Plan with a little company.
Join the free Carry On, Creative Beta Circle
Bring your creative idea, your questions, and whatever amount of energy turned up today.
We’re gathering a small group to try Carry On, Creative while building their own First Sale Plans.
We’ll meet weekly in the Village to share what’s happening, untangle business questions, and take the next manageable step together.
You’ll get free access during the beta, guidance from Artemis, and opportunities to help shape the app.
In return, we’ll ask you to try a small part of the app between gatherings and tell us what helped, what confused you, and where you got stuck. You don’t need technical knowledge to give useful feedback.
Cameras and microphones are optional. You can contribute through conversation or writing. If you miss a gathering, you’re welcome back without catching up first.
You won’t be expected to launch a business on a deadline. We’re working toward clearer decisions, a useful plan, and real steps you can manage.
Free during beta · Phone or computer · No formal diagnosis required · No sales pitch hiding behind the curtain

This might be for you if…
- You make or want to make art, jewellery, fibre work, pottery, digital products, commissions, classes or some other creative thing.
- You're starting, restarting or trying to turn occasional sales into something more intentional.
- The business part keeps disappearing beneath too many ideas, tabs, decisions or “research.”
- You want guidance that works on low-energy days and puts guardrails around hyperfocus days.
- You're willing to say, “This made no sense,” instead of protecting my feelings.
You don't need a polished offer, a website, a business plan or proof of diagnosis. Bring the messy version.
What Carry On, Creative helps you build
The tool walks with you from an early idea toward a first sale.
Choose one offer
Turn the pile of ideas into one thing you can explain and sell.
Price it properly
Count materials, time, expenses, skill, invisible work and profit not whatever number your self-doubt pulled out of a hat.
Tell your brand story
Explain what you make, why it matters and who it is for without manufacturing a shiny Internet personality.
Pick a route to customers
Decide whether a website, marketplace, social space, community or in-person route fits your buyers and your capacity.
Keep money from becoming fog
Track basic income, expenses, receipts and weekly business time without creating another needy system.
Use AI without handing over the steering wheel
Learn what to ask, what to verify, what not to share and how AI can support each step without taking it over.
You'll always be shown one next milestone. The rest of the path stays visible, but it's not all due today.
What testing actually involves
- Open the beta on your phone, tablet or computer.
- Build your personalized roadmap and complete the first milestone—about 30 minutes.
- Come back within seven days and try one more step.
- Tell me where you hesitated, became confused, got annoyed or stopped.
You are not being tested. The tool is.
Your work stays in that browser on that device. Nothing posts, emails or uploads itself. Please do not enter passwords, payment information or private client details.
Before you volunteer
This is an unfinished beta. Things may change. It is business education and planning support—not accounting, legal or tax advice, therapy, a guarantee of income or an AI that builds the business for you.
Testing is free. You will help shape the finished version, and I will explain any future paid offer clearly before asking you to decide anything.
