A 16:9 splash cover promoting the free Bee Righteous Pre-Launch Checklist for creators preparing a Wix or Shopify website launch.

I’m excited to release a new free tool inside the Bee Righteous™ ecosystem: the Bee Righteous™ Pre-Launch Checklist — now updated as a Wix + Shopify Edition.

This was built for creators who are ready to stop guessing and build their foundation the right way — even if you’re still early, still learning, and still shaping your message.

Why I built this (and why it matters)

Most creators don’t fail because they lack talent. They fail because they don’t have a clean launch path. They post content, they build momentum, and then they hit the wall: no website, no email list, no consistent message, no reliable system.

This checklist solves that problem by giving you a simple pre-launch structure that helps you build momentum without burning out or trying to build a perfect website.

What’s inside the checklist

The checklist walks you through five launch-critical areas:

  • Finalize your brand (simple, consistent identity)
  • Set up your social platform (one platform focus)
  • Prepare your website (Wix or Shopify)
  • Build your email list (required for ownership)
  • Organize your content engine (so progress compounds)

It also includes a simple launch readiness test so creators can stop overthinking it and just move.

Wix and Shopify are both valid (here’s the real rule)

Wix can be a great way to start fast, validate your message, and build an email list at low cost. Shopify becomes the long-term engine when you’re ready to scale products, track conversions, and build a deeper system.

The real rule isn’t “which platform is best.” The real rule is: pick ONE platform for the next 90 days and execute clean. You can always migrate later.

Who this is for

  • Creators who are tired of random posting and want a real launch path
  • Beginners who want a website but don’t know what to build first
  • Anyone who wants growth without burnout

What this tool is (and what it isn’t)

This checklist is a starter tool — not a course, not a guarantee, and not “magic.” It’s the kind of structure that helps you stop guessing and build a foundation that can grow.

Your progress still comes down to consistent execution. But with the right checklist, your effort stops getting wasted.
