When I was first approached to become an affiliate for the Sale a Day Business System, my red flags went up. I couldn’t find a single genuine review online, and as someone who runs a creative business, I’m always skeptical of courses that claim to teach you how to make money online. Especially when the business model itself is based on teaching others how to make money. That always makes me pause and do deeper research.
So, I said I wouldn’t promote the course or write a review until I had personally gone through the course. I was given full access to the training (without joining the affiliate program), and today, I’m sharing my honest, no-fluff review, written for creatives who want to know if this course geared towards handmade sellers is actually worth the high price tag.

I was provided access to the Sale A Day Business System free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion. I do not guarantee a positive review of any product reviewed on my site. All opinions shared here are my own.
What Is the Sale a Day Business System?
The Sale a Day Business System is an online course created by actress-turned-entrepreneur Mei Pak, the maker behind Tiny Hands, a scented food-themed jewelry business. This course promises to help you build a sustainable handmade business, with the ultimate goal of reaching $1,000/month in sales.
It’s marketed as a system that can take you from zero to profitable, even if you’re brand new to running a business.

How Much Does the Sale a Day Business System Cost?
At the time of writing this (October 2025), the course costs $1997 USD as a one-time payment, with a pay-per-month plan of $200 USD a month for 12 months ($2,400 USD total).
It is a significant investment, especially for those just starting out, so it’s important to understand exactly what you’re getting before committing.
The Guarantee (and Why It Feels Risky to Me)
The course offers a bold-sounding guarantee: 2x your money back if you complete the course, do the work, and don’t see a “change in your life or business” in the first year. Sounds generous, right?
While this may be a comfort to some, the wording is broad enough that it could be interpreted in different ways. For example, even simply launching a business, regardless of results, might be seen as a “life change,” which could make the guarantee harder to qualify for than it first appears.
This is my interpretation of the guarantee based on its wording. I haven’t personally attempted to claim it. However, as someone who drafted contracts in past roles, vague terms like this tend to stand out to me as a potential concern.
Who This Handmade Business Course Is Really For
In my opinion, this course is not for experienced business owners, digital product sellers, or makers who already have their shops set up and running.
It’s designed for absolute beginners who:
- Have no business experience or acumen
- Have no experience with online marketing
- Are interested in selling physical handmade goods
- Want a step-by-step approach to starting a business
- Aren’t inclined to do research on their own on how to do things (though you will be directed to do some research in the course)
- You do best with structured guidance and prefer having a central resource to follow rather than piecing information together from multiple places.
If that’s you, and you want a neatly packaged overview of what it takes to start a handmade business, it might be helpful. But I do think there are more budget-friendly ways to learn the basics, especially using the many free tools and tutorials available online.
Are the Bonuses Worth It?
While some makers may find the bonuses helpful, I personally didn’t find they added significant value beyond what’s freely available online – if you’re willing to do a little research.
What I Liked About the Course (From a Maker’s Perspective)
- The course is clearly structured and easy to follow.
- The videos are short and digestible.
- There are some added tools you can download like the pricing calculator or the printable 140 page work booklet course companion.
- You have access to everything at once and can do it at your own speed.
The Drawbacks I Found: Price, Guarantee & Fit for Digital Product Sellers
- The price. $1997 USD is a huge investment, especially for those just starting out.
- Lack of third-party reviews. I couldn’t find more than one comprehensive, genuine review prior to taking this course.
- The guarantee feels deliberately vague. The guarantee sounds generous on the surface, but I found its vagueness left me with more questions than confidence.
- Focus on physical products. As a digital product seller, I didn’t find much that was new or useful.
Would I Recommend It?
When I was just starting my own business, I remember seeing this course and feeling tempted. The promise of daily sales and a clear roadmap was incredibly appealing, but the price tag was out of reach for me at the time.
I took (what some may call) the long road: I learned as I went, networked, and grew my business using mostly free tools, my community and trial and error. That said, I do have a background working in sales, HR and training which definitely worked in my favor.
If someone came to me and said they wanted to start a handmade business from scratch, had no clue where to begin, and had $2000 burning a hole in their pocket… maybe.
But that’s a big “maybe.”
Because starting a business is hard. It takes resourcefulness, resilience, and a willingness to learn as you go. If someone needs a hand-holding course to start, and isn’t the type to dig for answers on their own, that might be a sign they’d benefit more from one-on-one guidance before diving into a big-ticket course like this.
There’s absolutely no shame in wanting guidance when you’re starting out, but I believe it’s important to understand what you’re really getting before making such a big investment.
So would I personally spend $1997 on this course as either a crochet pattern designer or a seller of handmade crochet items?
No, I personally wouldn’t.
My learning style, experience level, and business model just didn’t align with what this course teaches, and those are some of the key factors in my opinion here.
Final Verdict: Should Makers Invest in This Course?
The Sale a Day Business System makes a big promise: helping crafters make daily sales and build a sustainable business. While the course covers the basics well, I can’t confidently say it justifies the steep price tag, especially when there’s so much freely available information online for those willing to do a bit of digging.
If you’re curious and have the money to spend, proceed with eyes wide open, and be aware that you’ll still need to do your own research for your specific business, as guided throughout the course. But if you’re working with a tight budget, you may want to explore free tools and resources before investing in a premium course like this one.
