Leptosphinctes leptus Fossil Ammonite – Middle Bajocian, Jurassic – Caen, France – Alice Purnell Collection – 100% Genuine with Certificate

This listing features a genuine Leptosphinctes leptus fossil ammonite from the Middle Bajocian Stage of the Jurassic Period, dating back approximately 170 to 168 million years ago. This beautiful specimen was discovered in Caen, France, and is part of the highly regarded Alice Purnell Collection, known for high-quality, curated fossil specimens.

Leptosphinctes leptus is a member of the family Perisphinctidae and is recognised by its relatively involute shell, fine and dense ribbing, and compressed whorl section. These marine cephalopods were free-swimming organisms that thrived in shallow seas, playing an important role in the Jurassic marine ecosystem as agile predators.

This specimen shows clear ribbing and whorl definition, with natural preservation in matrix, making it an ideal display piece for collectors or educational institutions.

Geological Context: The Middle Bajocian is part of the Dogger epoch of the Jurassic Period and is renowned for its rich marine fossil record, especially ammonites. The area surrounding Caen in northern France is well known for its Jurassic limestone and marl deposits, which frequently yield well-preserved ammonite specimens that are essential to biostratigraphic studies.

How to Sell Digital Products without Social Media

You may want to sell digital products. And have been told to create an Instagram account or Tik Tok page to get traffic.

I am here to tell you that you do not need to have social media to sell digital products.

You can get free traffic and won't need any followers.

Digital products are a great way to earn passive income from home.

They are low cost to start. You won't have to worry about sending something in the mail.

As soon as your customers pay they get instant access to the product.

You can sell one digital product over and over again. You will not have to worry about stocking inventory or needing to purchase inventory.

The thing that I love about digital products is how much money and time I save.

I'm able to create using inexpensive tools that allow me to not only have a digital product but have a website to host the product and traffic to market the digital product.

Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and social media are not the only way to get traffic for your product.

Sometimes those platforms do more harm than good for your digital product business.

You are limited with how much content you can create on a social media platform. You are also limited to how frequently you can engage on the platform.

And the one thing about social media that I really don't like is how easily it can be taken from you without any real cause

Because they have such strong AI algorithms anything can cause your account to be taken from you. And it can be a minor misunderstanding.

Fighting to get your account back is so much stress. I have had so many Instagram accounts removed and suspended without cause. And when I tried to get them back I ran into another problem and another problem and even another problem.

I found a way to sell my digital products without needing social media. I found a way to sell my digital products without needing any followers. I found a way to market my digital products for free and it's not causing me any stress to create content for it.

If you want to be successful with growing your digital product business you're going to need traffic. You're going to need an audience for your digital product business.

Building a target audience is very important to the success and growth of your business.You want people who are willing to buy and people who are ready to buy.

This post right here teaches how to build your target audience using six important questions.

The Secret to Finding Your Ideal Audience (It Starts with These Questions!)

You don't only want a target audience for your digital product. But you need a niche that's going to sell. A niche that's going to help solve a problem. And be interesting enough for people to purchase it from you.

Having a good niche and a great target audience is a wonderful combination for the success of a digital product business.

Mix in some good traffic and you have a business that will bring you profits and results.

The reason why you don't need social media.

Social media may be popular but it's not necessary for the growth of your business and brand.

Many people think because it's social media and you can grow your following that means you will have a lot of sales. Because the more followers you have the more sales you'll receive.

But that is not true. Most followers don't see the content you post. And most followers are not buyers because people follow a page for many different reasons.

If you want your business to grow and thrive you need a system that gets your product in front of the right people.

A system that helps you save time and money. That doesn't frustrate you with content creation and growing a social media page.

And my course passive profit path teaches you how to build it.

I'm teaching you how to create your audience. I'm giving you 100 niches to choose from broken down into profitable categories. And how to get free traffic for your product.

You can have a digital product business without social media.

I'm getting free traffic everyday and I do not use Instagram, Twitter or TikTok.

I built my digital product business and I didn't pay $400 for a course.

I don't pay a monthly subscription for my website. And I can sell 1 product over and over again making as much money as I'd like.

I don't have to worry about inventory, monthly subscription fees, or keeping track of shipments.

And I did all this without any followers.

Everything I'm doing I'm teaching you in my course.

If you're ready to start your digital product business for less than $5 without using social media or building a following.

Take my course and learn how to build a profitable business and be ready to go within 30 days.
