This AI Prompt Fixed My Selling Fear and Made Me $3,247 (Copy & Paste) 09/13/2025

This AI Prompt Fixed My Selling Fear and Made Me $3,247 (Copy & Paste) Watch on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/j4eaNgNz3yw?si=7is17YCNNiMMx2Mw If you’ve created a guide, checklist, or mini-course—but you’re not promoting it because you’re thinking “Who am I to sell this?”—you’re not alone. The real blocker usually isn’t your product; it’s confidence and not knowing what to say or where to say it. In this post, I’ll show you two quick that flip that script and give you the exact words and plan to promote—plus how to publish a ready-to-buy sales page with in minutes (no website needed). Show Notes: Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: The Real Problem: “Who am I to sell this?” Most creators stall after hitting “publish” because they’re afraid to promote. The result? Crickets—not because the product is bad, but because no one heard about it enough times to buy. The fix is a mindset + messaging shift you can trigger with AI in under a minute. The 60-Second Fix: Copy/Paste These 2 Prompts Prompt #1 — Confidence & Language Paste this into your AI tool: Act as my business coach and mindset mentor. I’ve created a digital product about [TOPIC] but I feel nervous promoting it. Remind me why my experience has value, explain how selling helps people, write me a confident script for talking about my product, and give me 5 places to share it today. Be encouraging but honest. This gives you: a quick reframe, a confidence boost, and a short script you can actually use in DMs, posts, and conversations. Prompt #2 — Distribution Plan (What to Post & Where) I’m ready to promote with confidence. Give me 10 places to share my product today with exact words for each platform (helpful, not salesy). Include social media, email ideas, and networking conversation starters. Also give me a simple 7-day promotion schedule. This turns “random posting” into a repeatable weekly cadence that compounds—how you go from your first $100 to your first $1,000. Make Buying Frictionless: Use Confidence is great—but people still need a place to buy. Here’s the fast path with MiloTree: Set up your product in → choose Digital Download. Name, price, and upload your PDF or file (e.g., “Time Management for Busy Moms” at $27). Click Create Sales Page → MiloTree’s AI writes your sales copy for you. Get one shareable link you can paste everywhere (social, email, DMs). Payments go to you via Stripe; MiloTree auto-delivers the file to customers.

Minute 2–5: Run Prompt #2 → copy the 7-day schedule + 3 platform scripts. Minute 5–12: In MiloTree, create your Digital Download, let AI write your sales page, connect Stripe. Minute 12–15: Publish and share your one link in 3 places (Stories, an email P.S., and 5 warm DMs). Copy-Ready Snippets (Steal These) DM Intro: “Hey! I made a quick [result]-focused guide that helps with [pain]. No pressure, but it might save you [time/money]. Want the link?” Story CTA: “I turned my process into a simple download. If [outcome] would help, grab it here. I’m answering Qs today!” Email P.S.: “P.S. I just released a 1-hour solution for [problem]. Here’s the link if that’s on your list this week.” (Use your Prompt #1 script to personalize these.)

SEO Isn’t Dead in 2025—You’re Just Playing the Old Game (Here’s the New One) 09/05/2025

SEO Isn’t Dead in 2025—You’re Just Playing the Old Game (Here’s the New One) If your traffic fell off a cliff after recent Google updates and AI answers, you’re not alone—especially if you’re a recipe, YMYL (Your Money or Your Life), or niche blogger who used to win with long posts and ads. But SEO isn’t dead—it’s evolved. In my latest episode, I'm talk to , who breaks down exactly how creators can still win in 2025: build visible authority, earn strategic backlinks, improve UX, and shift revenue toward newsletters and products. Show Notes: Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: The Problem Creators Are Facing in 2025 AI is answering queries and compressing clicks—brutal for “quick-answer” niches like recipes. Google is rewarding authority (E-E-A-T) and punishing thin UX (endless scroll, intrusive ads, fluff). Old playbooks (publish more posts, stuff in keywords, hope for ad RPM) don’t move the needle. Solution in a sentence: Treat search like a brand + authority channel, not a traffic lottery. Build proof of expertise on every page, earn real mentions/links, and turn all attention into owned audiences and product revenue. What’s Working Now (According to Steven) 1) Authority > everything Add clear E-E-A-T signals on every post and key page (not just your About page): Real author byline + headshot 2–3 credential links (culinary school, certifications, LinkedIn) Awards/press mentions (linked) Concise author bio block on each post This helps Google and readers trust that a human expert wrote it. 2) Backlinks with intent (no spray-and-pray) Guest on podcasts (links in show notes = high-quality, relevant). Offer expert quotes to other bloggers/journalists; pitch quick 2–3 sentence tips they can drop in with a link. Vary anchor text (brand, URL, topical phrases) and use reciprocal links sparingly. Paying for “time” vs “links” is a gray area—be selective and ethical. 3) UX that respects the reader Stop the 4,000-word detours; give the answer fast and add optional depth. Keep one H1 per page, logical H2/H3s, strong internal linking, and basic schema hygiene. Recipes/how-to: lead with the steps; put the story below. 4) BOFU content (not just top-of-funnel) Steven’s agency prioritizes bottom-of-funnel, high-intent topics that convert to leads or sales—because SEO must tie to revenue. 5) Newsletter > ad RPM Clicks are down, but email still converts. Build a free newsletter, nurture weekly, and sell your own offers (ebooks, mini-courses, templates, memberships). 7-Step Action Plan (Do this in the next 14 days) Add E-E-A-T blocks site-wide Byline, headshot, 2–3 credential links, “Reviewed by” where relevant. Fix on-page structure One H1, clean headings, scannable sections, strong internal links among related posts. Create one “wow” asset ( or calculator) Examples: Gluten-free flour swap chart (instant, high-value) Meal-prep planner (fillable PDF) ROI/Cost calculator (tools get links + emails) Pitch 10 podcasts in your niche Offer 3 topic angles, a short bio, and a value-packed outline; request a site link in show notes. Run a “quote outreach” sprint Identify 25 relevant posts; email the author a ready-to-paste 2–3 sentence expert tip + your preferred link target (vary anchors). Publish 3 BOFU posts Bottom-of-funnel queries aligned to your product (e.g., “Meal-prep templates,” “Gluten-free baking guide PDF,” “One-hour blogging audit”). Launch or revive your newsletter Weekly format: 1 tip, 1 tool, 1 template. Soft-pitch your product/freebie in each send. Make This Easy (and Free) with With the , you can: Sell one (ebook, template, workshop replay) Offer a freebie/lead magnet with automatic delivery Add a social pop-up to grow followers while you sleep Spin up AI-generated pages (sales + opt-in) in minutes 👉 : set up your product or freebie and start collecting subscribers + sales today. (No tech headaches, no credit card required.) FAQ (Quick Answers) Is there a way to “write for AI” specifically? Not really. Write for humans with clear structure, show expertise, and earn authority; that is what LLMs and Google both surface. Should I pay for links? It’s a gray area; focus on earning links via value (podcasts, tools, quotes). If compensation is about someone’s time to implement, be selective and ethical. What on-page items still matter? Single H1, logical headings, internal links, page speed, helpful schema. Meta descriptions are less critical but still fine to include. Your Next 2 Moves (Start Today) (cheat sheet, planner, or calculator) and add it site-wide. Pitch one podcast + send one expert quote email before you log off today. You’ve got this. The new game rewards real expertise, useful assets, and owned audiences—and that’s a much more resilient business.

How to Build a Digital Product Ladder That Turns $7 Customers into $2,000 Customers (Complete AI System Revealed) 08/31/2025

How to Build a Digital Product Ladder That Turns $7 Customers into $2,000 Customers (Complete AI System Revealed) If you’re a coach, blogger, or online entrepreneur struggling to make consistent income from your digital products, you’re not alone. Most creators try to sell one digital product and fail because they’re missing a crucial piece of the puzzle: a systematic approach that transforms low-paying customers into high-value clients. In my latest episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I revealed the exact AI-powered system that successful creators use to build $10,000+ monthly businesses. This isn’t theory—it’s the proven strategy that MiloTree users like Sarah have used to grow from 200 email subscribers to $11,000 monthly revenue in just six months. In this post, we’ll unpack how to create a digital product ladder, use AI to build your entire system, and leverage MiloTree to handle all the tech without the headache. Show Notes: Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: Why Most Digital Product Creators Fail (And How to Avoid Their Mistakes) The biggest mistake creators make is building products they’re passionate about instead of solving problems people actually pay to solve. Before you create anything, your digital product idea must pass what I call the “Purchasing Triggers Test.” Your product needs to do at least two of these six things: Make someone money Save them money Save them time Move them toward happiness Move them away from pain Raise their social status If your idea doesn’t hit at least two triggers, don’t build it. You’ll waste months creating something nobody wants to buy. Let’s test this with a real example: “Time Management for Busy Moms” ✅ Save them time? Absolutely ✅ Move them toward happiness? Yes (less stress, more family time) ✅ Move them away from pain? Yes (overwhelm and guilt) This passes with flying colors because it hits three triggers. The Digital Product Ladder System That Creates $10K Months Here’s what successful creators understand that others don’t: instead of selling one product, they build a digital product ladder. This system starts with a free valuable resource and guides customers through increasingly valuable solutions at higher price points. The magic happens when someone who downloads your free guide eventually becomes a $2,000 mastermind member. That’s how you reach $10,000 monthly revenue—not by selling a million $10 products. The 6-Step Digital Product Ladder Framework Step 1: Free Valuable Resource (Freebie) Solves one specific problem Delivers a quick, tangible win Gets people on your email list Step 2: Tripwire Product ($7-$27) Small purchase on your thank-you page Naturally follows from the freebie Turns subscribers into buyers Step 3: Product Bundle ($47-$97) Combines multiple resources Provides comprehensive results Higher perceived value Step 4: Mini Course or Coaching Package ($197-$497) Structured learning experience Leads customers toward membership More hands-on support Step 5: Monthly Membership ($27-$97/month) Ongoing support and community Recurring revenue stream Builds long-term relationships Step 6: Premium Mastermind ($997-$2,997) High-touch program For serious implementers Your highest revenue generator The AI Prompt That Builds Your Entire Business Model in 30 Seconds Here’s the game-changing AI prompt that creates your complete digital product ladder system. Simply go to ChatGPT (the free version works fine) and enter this prompt with your specific details: “I want to create a complete digital product ladder for [YOUR NICHE/TOPIC]. Help me design a six-step customer journey that transforms a free subscriber into a high-value customer. Step 1: Create a valuable freebie that solves one specific pain point and delivers a quick, tangible win. Step 2: Design a tripwire product that’s something small I can sell on the thank-you page after someone joins my list. This product should naturally follow from the freebie and provide deeper value. Step 3: Develop a product bundle that combines multiple resources for comprehensive results. Step 4: Structure a mini course or coaching package that ultimately leads customers into joining my membership. Step 5: Design a monthly membership that provides ongoing support and community. Step 6: Create a premium mastermind or high-touch program for serious implementers. For each step, provide the product concept, main benefits, suggested price, and how it connects to the next level.” How MiloTree Eliminates the Tech Overwhelm The biggest obstacle most creators face isn’t knowing what to create—it’s the technical setup. How do you actually build all this without getting overwhelmed by complicated tech? This is where MiloTree becomes your secret weapon. You can set up each step of your ladder—from your freebie to your mastermind membership—right inside without needing a website or expensive tech tools.

This $100/Sale Hack Changed Everything (Digital Product Secret) 08/25/2025

This $100/Sale Hack Changed Everything (Digital Product Secret) If you sell digital products, you’ve probably asked: “How do I increase revenue without adding more work?” Good news—there’s a simple, ethical, customer‑friendly tactic that top creators use every day: Order bumps. In this post, I’ll show you what an order bump is, why it reliably grows your average order value (AOV), real examples that convert, and a copy‑paste prompt to brainstorm your own in minutes. I’ll also share how to set this up with (including what you can do on the ), so you can start today. What’s an Order Bump? Think “add fries to your burger.” An order bump is a small, complementary offer shown right on the checkout page—purchased with a single checkbox click. Why it works Zero extra friction: Buyer is already in buying mode. Clear added value: The bump makes the main product easier, faster, or better. Low price point: Sweet spot is usually $5–$15. With MiloTree, the bump appears as a simple checkbox on your Stripe checkout. Your customer selects it, and boom—both items are purchased in one click. No extra pages. No confusion. Real creators using MiloTree report 30–40%+ of buyers taking the bump—turning a $27 sale into $33–$38 in seconds. Show Notes: Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: How to Brainstorm Your Order Bump (Copy‑Paste Prompt) Open ChatGPT (free version is fine) and paste: You’re an expert digital product strategist. I want to sell one main product and one smaller related product as an order bump. My niche is: [insert niche] My audience’s biggest problem is: [insert problem] Give me 5 ideas for the main product and, for each one, a smaller related digital product that can be offered as an order bump. In minutes, you’ll have pairs you can sell individually and together. Pro tip: If your solution is good, people don’t care about fancy design. You can draft the whole bump in a simple Google Doc. Pricing & Positioning: Quick Guidelines Keep it bite‑sized: A quick win your buyer can use today. Price for impulse: Aim for $5–$15. Complete the win: Ask, “What would make the main product easier/faster?” That’s your bump. Step‑by‑Step: Set It Up in MiloTree Create your main product (Google Doc → PDF works great). Create your bump product (short checklist, template pack, scripts, flashcards, etc.). Connect Stripe in MiloTree. Add the order bump to the main product’s checkout (it appears as a checkbox). Test your flow and publish. What can you do on the ? Sell 1 product for free and offer 1 freebie to grow your list. Perfect for getting your first product live fast and validating demand. Note: Because an order bump sells a second product, bumps require a paid MiloTree plan. Plans start affordably, and many creators earn back the cost (and more) just from the bump uplift. When you’re ready to add bumps (and unlimited products), upgrade and flip the switch. When Not to Use a Bump If it’s unrelated or bloats the purchase. If the price is too high for an impulse add‑on. If it introduces new tools/tech that slow the buyer down. Keep it tight, relevant, and helpful. Final Thought Order bumps turn the sale you’re already making into a bigger win for your customer and more revenue for you—without more content, hustle, or tech. What’s your main + bump combo? Drop it in the comments and I’ll help you refine it. Want help getting this live—fast? Spin up your first product + one freebie on the today. When you’re ready to add the order bump checkbox, upgrade and watch your AOV climb. /episode/index/show/thebloggergeniuspodcast/id/37941745

You don’t need a website, complicated funnel, or tech skills to launch your first digital product and make your first $100 online. In fact, all you need is one idea, one Google Doc, and one link. In my latest episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I walk you through a step-by-step system to go from “no product” to “product sold”—using free tools like Google Docs, ChatGPT, and . 💥 Let’s break it down. Show Notes: Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: The Fastest Way to Launch a Digital Product (Even If You’re Not “Techy”) Most people get stuck before they even start. They worry about branding, design, websites, funnels... when really, your only goal should be to get a product in front of buyers and test what works. This is about speed and momentum. Here’s how to do it in under an hour: 🧠 Step 1: Use AI to Find Your Profitable Product Idea Use this AI prompt (which you can ): “You are one of the top digital product creators and online business strategists in the world. You deeply understand what makes people buy and how to deliver high value offers fast. My area of expertise is [insert yours]. What are 10 problems people struggle with in this area?” You don't need to be a guru—just someone a few steps ahead. Think meal planning, budgeting, decluttering, productivity, parenting… whatever you’ve figured out that others want help with. Still not sure which problem to pick? Ask ChatGPT to refine the list. Then pick one. 📄 Step 2: Create a Simple Product in a Google Doc Next, prompt ChatGPT: “Write me a short high value checklist or guide that solves this problem in under 10 minutes.” Paste that into a Google Doc, give it a quick edit, save it as a PDF, and boom—you have a product.

They post once on social media and wonder why they’re not making sales. The truth? Most people need to see your product 5–7 times before they buy. Here’s where to promote your sales page: Facebook groups where your audience hangs out Reddit threads discussing your topic Pinterest pins linking directly to your sales page Your Instagram bio Your email signature DMs to friends or followers who might benefit Be scrappy. This is how your first $17 turns into $100, then $1,000. 🧠 What Do I Say to Get Sales? Don’t overthink it. Try something simple like: “Hey, I created this $17 guide to help with [this problem]. It’s short, easy, and it works. Want the link?” Test different messages. See what gets replies. This is how you build your marketing muscle. 🚀 The Mindset That Makes It All Work Perfection is a trap.

Can You Really Make Money on Pinterest with One Pin a Day? 07/30/2025

Can You Really Make Money on Pinterest with One Pin a Day? If you’re an online entrepreneur, blogger, or coach trying to grow your email list or sell your products, you might feel stuck chasing Instagram trends and getting nowhere. What if there was a better, more sustainable way to drive traffic, collect leads, and make sales—on autopilot? 💡 Enter Pinterest—the most overlooked platform for organic growth. In the latest episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I spoke with Nadalie Bardo, aka , who shared why Pinterest is a game-changer for creators who want to grow their business without dancing on Reels or fighting algorithm changes. Here’s what we uncovered—and how you can use Pinterest to grow your list, sell digital products, and make money starting now. 🎯 Pinterest Isn’t Social Media—It’s a Search Engine Unlike Instagram or TikTok, Pinterest is a visual search engine. That means content you create today can continue bringing you traffic and leads months or even years from now. “Pinterest is the slow burn that keeps burning,” says Nadalie. “It brings in long-term results without the need to post daily.” Instead of relying on fleeting posts that disappear from feeds, you’re building an evergreen traffic machine. 🚀 Step 1: Grow Your Email List with Pinterest The smartest way to use Pinterest? To grow your list with a lead magnet or freebie. 👋 Don’t have a freebie yet? With , you can create an opt-in page in under 5 minutes, upload your freebie, and start collecting email addresses immediately—no tech skills required. Nadalie recommends starting with 10 links—these could be blog posts, opt-in pages, sales pages, podcast episodes, or YouTube videos. Then: Find 3–5 Keywords relevant to your niche using Pinterest Trends or the search bar. Create 5 Pin Templates (Canva is perfect for this). Design 5 Pins per Link using those templates. Schedule 1 Pin per Day to start. This strategy gives you 50 days of content—without burnout. 📅 Tap Into Pinterest Seasonality for Fast Results Pinterest is a seasonal platform. If you can tap into trends—like summer vacations, back-to-school, or holiday gift guides—you’ll accelerate your growth. Example: If you’re a gut health coach, try pins like: “How to Navigate Summer BBQs with IBS” “5 Gut-Friendly Holiday Recipes” “What to Pack for a Bloat-Free Beach Trip” Seasonal content works because it aligns with what your audience is already searching for right now. 🤖 How to Use AI the Right Way (and Avoid Common Mistakes) AI tools like ChatGPT can support your Pinterest strategy—but don’t rely on them for everything. ✅ Use ChatGPT to: Write pin titles and descriptions (after you identify your keywords) Brainstorm use cases for your products (e.g., a bracelet as a bridal shower gift) Expand your audience by matching your niche with trending interests like nail art or summer hairstyles ❌ Avoid using ChatGPT to: Do keyword research (Pinterest has its own data) Generate AI-written content that misleads users (Pinterest is cracking down on this) 💸 Can You Link a Pin Directly to a Product and Make Sales? Yes—but don’t rely on a “one and done” pin to do all the work. The truth is: 🧩 A pin might take weeks or months before someone buys. 👀 It could take 20 touchpoints before a customer makes a purchase. That’s why email is your superpower. Use Pinterest to get people onto your email list with a compelling freebie, then follow up with: A welcome sequence A tripwire or low-cost offer An email series that builds trust and sells your product 🛠 With , you can set up your freebie delivery and sell your first digital product—all from one simple dashboard. 🔥 Pinterest Traffic Is More Valuable Than Google Yes, seriously. Nadalie reports that traffic from Pinterest earns her 3–5x more in ad revenue than traffic from Google or Bing. That’s because Pinterest users are in action-taking mode. They’re not just scrolling—they’re clicking, saving, and buying. ✅ Start Simple: One Freebie + One Pin a Day You don’t need 20 pins a day to see results. If you’ve got one strong freebie that solves a real problem and you create 5-10 pins to promote it, that’s enough to start growing your list and validating your funnel. This is the exact strategy we recommend with MiloTree: Upload your freebie Use our AI to generate an opt-in landing page Post pins that lead people to it 🆓 And yes, you can do all of this on the MiloTree Free Plan. and grow from there. Final Thoughts: Pinterest + MiloTree = Organic Growth Engine If you’re tired of chasing social media trends with little to show for it, it’s time to try Pinterest.

(We went with “wasting food and money.”) Step 2: Ask AI for 10 Digital Products You Can Create This Week Here’s the second prompt: “Based on the problem [INSERT PROBLEM], generate 10 digital product ideas I could create and launch this week. Each idea should be fast to create, hit one of the six buying triggers (make money, save money, save time, move toward happiness, move away from pain, raise social status), and include a pitch and format.” ChatGPT might return ideas like: The Leftover Makeover Guide (PDF) $75 Grocery Plan (Printable Tracker) Zero Waste Kitchen Challenge (Mini Course) Pantry Audit Checklist (Google Sheet) These products are fast to create, solve real problems, and tap directly into what motivates people to buy.

🎯 How to Sell Your Digital Product in 2025 (Even If No One Knows You Yet) So, you finally created your ebook or digital product… now what? You’re probably asking: How do I actually sell this? You , viral content, or a fancy website to start making money from your knowledge. In fact, in 2025, selling digital products has never been simpler—or more accessible. Whether you're a blogger, coach, or online creator, the real secret to sales is solving a painful problem and getting your offer seen. In this post, I’ll walk you through the exact step-by-step system I teach creators to turn content into cash—and how you can do it for free using . Show Notes: Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: The Truth: You Don’t Need a Huge Audience Here’s the biggest myth I hear: “I need thousands of followers to make money.” Nope. What you actually need is an engaged audience—even if it's small. The first step is choosing a niche you know something about. It doesn’t have to be your full-time job—just something people ask you about or that you enjoy. Your goal? Solve one specific problem for your audience. That’s the golden ticket. Still stuck? Grab this free download: 👉 Set Up Your Simple Sales Funnel (No Tech Needed) You don’t need a full website or an expensive sales funnel. All you need is a three-step system: 1. Create a Freebie This is how you grow your email list. Your freebie should solve a quick, valuable problem for your niche and feel like something people would pay for. Great examples: checklists, templates, cheatsheets. ➡️ With , you can: Upload your freebie Auto-generate your opt-in landing page using AI Connect your email service (like ConvertKit, MailerLite, Flodesk, or Mailchimp) And deliver your freebie automatically—all for free. 2. Follow Up with a Tripwire Once someone downloads your freebie, offer them a low-cost product ($7–$19). This is called a tripwire, and it’s a powerful way to turn subscribers into buyers immediately. Not only does it build trust, but it also validates your product idea fast. 3. Launch Your Product with Confidence You don’t need a storefront.

Here’s why: 📬 Email is personal. 🧠 It builds trust. 💰 It converts. And thanks to tools like MiloTree, setting up your email list has never been easier. The Real Reason You’re Not Getting Sales Here’s the most common mistake I see: 👉 Posting your sales link once and expecting magic. People need to see your offer at least 7 times before they’ll take action. So share your link everywhere: Instagram bio Pinterest pins TikTok & YouTube descriptions Facebook groups and posts Email footer LinkedIn profile DMs where it’s relevant 💡 Every time you post, you’re planting seeds. Keep showing up and those seeds will grow. Start Messy. Sell Sooner. Stop waiting for the perfect product or 1,000 followers. Instead: Start with a quick-win product (, coaching call, checklist). Solve one painful problem fast. Test different offers. Then double down on what works. Perfection slows you down. B-minus work grows your business. Period.

Why LinkedIn Beats Instagram for Making Real Money 💰 06/25/2025

Why LinkedIn Beats Instagram for Making Real Money 💰 If you're a coach, content creator, service provider, or blogger and you're still betting on Instagram to grow your business, this episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast might just change your mind. My guest, , a top LinkedIn expert and author of The LinkedIn Book for Sales and Marketing, shares why LinkedIn is where the real business-building magic happens—and how to tap into it even if you're not a "corporate type." 👇 PLUS: Grab my free AI prompt to generate 10 digital product ideas you can launch this week! Why Instagram Isn’t Enough Anymore Instagram may be where you're posting regularly, chasing likes, and hoping to go viral—but that doesn't necessarily translate into customers or sales. Here’s why Scott says LinkedIn is a smarter bet: ✅ Higher-Income Users The average Instagram user makes under $30,000 a year. On LinkedIn? Most users earn $75,000–$100,000+, meaning they have money to spend. ✅ Decision-Makers Are on LinkedIn 88% of users are in decision-making roles. These are people who can say YES to hiring you, buying from you, or partnering with you. ✅ Less Competition for Attention Only 1% of LinkedIn users post content weekly. That means your content has a much better chance of standing out and being seen. But I’m a Blogger… or a Dog Trainer… or a Food Creator. Is LinkedIn Still for Me? Yes! According to Scott, if your content is educational, informative, and solves problems—there’s a place for you on LinkedIn. ✅ Bloggers can offer tips or insights that appeal to professionals trying to manage work-life balance. ✅ Dog trainers? Professionals own dogs too. ✅ Food creators? Busy professionals need help with healthy, quick meals. The key is positioning yourself as an expert and sharing helpful content—not just “fun” or viral entertainment. How to Set Up Your LinkedIn to Convert Visitors Into Leads Scott recommends being intentional with every part of your LinkedIn presence: Avoid the “Resume Look.” Instead, treat your profile like a landing page. Add Clickable Links. At the top of your profile and in the Featured section, link to your: Lead magnet or freebie Website Podcast Calendar link Post with a Purpose. Never post just for vanity metrics. Each post should add value and end with a call-to-action, like: “What was your biggest takeaway?” “Comment ‘yes’ if this resonates.” 💡 Pro Tip: Don’t add external links in the body of your post—drop them in the first comment instead so LinkedIn doesn’t throttle your reach. The 3 Tools Scott Uses to Grow His List (and You Should Too) Clickable Links in Your Profile Drive people to sign up for a freebie, book a call, or check out your podcast. LinkedIn Newsletter When you publish your first newsletter, LinkedIn invites ALL your connections to subscribe—and will continue promoting it via email and notifications. (Scott’s open rate? 38–42%!) LinkedIn Live Scott turns each live into a podcast episode and repurposes it into 84 pieces of content. He adds a simple CTA in every live like, 👉 “Comment ‘workshop’ below, and I’ll send you the link.” …then personally sends the opt-in link to new subscribers. Repurpose Like a Pro: One Live = 84 Pieces of Content Scott’s streamlined content strategy: 💻 Pre-records LinkedIn Lives using StreamYard 🎙 Publishes them as podcast episodes 🎥 Uploads to YouTube ✂️ Uses Opus Pro to create short clips 📲 Shares clips as Reels, Shorts, and on LinkedIn Each piece drives people to the same opt-in, keeping his strategy simple and focused.

Show Notes: Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: Why You Don’t Need an Audience to Start Selling If your product solves a real, urgent pain point, people will pay for it.

Why Selling in Your First Email Isn’t Pushy—It’s Profitable (And What Most Creators Get Wrong) 06/04/2025

Why Selling in Your First Email Isn’t Pushy—It’s Profitable (And What Most Creators Get Wrong) If you’ve been told never to sell in your welcome email, think again. In the latest episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I sat down with email marketing expert , who shares a powerful, unconventional strategy: selling in your very first email. And guess what? It works. If you’re trying to grow your email list, convert subscribers into customers, and make sales without waiting weeks or months, this post is for you. Show Notes: Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: Why Most Creators Get Email Wrong A common myth in email marketing is that you need to “warm up” your audience before making any offer. Kylie calls this out. Why wait, she asks, when your new subscriber is most engaged right now—immediately after signing up for your freebie? This is the moment they’re most open to hearing from you. They’ve just said, “Yes, I trust you.” So why not show them exactly how you can help? Here’s What to Do Instead Kylie breaks it down simply: ✅ Send a single, value-packed welcome email Instead of a 5-part welcome sequence, Kylie delivers the freebie and introduces herself and sells—all in the same email. ✅ Include your offer in the PS She doesn’t hit people over the head with it. She simply adds a quick, “P.S. I also have this membership—check it out if you’re ready to go deeper.” That’s it. And it converts. ✅ Follow up with a short nurture sequence After that first email, she sends a few value-packed emails that build trust and explain the benefits of her offer. This works because it’s honest, direct, and respects the reader’s time. Want to Build Your Email List Fast—Without Social Media? You don’t need a huge following or a complicated funnel to grow your list. 🎉 With , you can: Create an AI-generated opt-in landing page in minutes Upload and deliver your freebie automatically Grow your email list with ease Start selling digital products with zero tech overwhelm Perfect for bloggers, course creators, and online entrepreneurs who want results fast—no credit card required. Freebie Ideas That Actually Convert Not sure what kind of freebie to offer? Kylie recommends: Quizzes (people love discovering something about themselves) Private podcasts (great for busy moms or on-the-go entrepreneurs) Simple PDFs or checklists (value matters more than design) 👉 Want to create a freebie today? Grab our to generate yours in under 5 minutes. How to Be More Intentional with Your List Building The key takeaway from Kylie’s strategy? Intentionality. Don’t grow a big list—grow the right list. Every opt-in, freebie swap, or bundle you join should be built around one question: “Is this bringing in my ideal customer?” Otherwise, you risk having a large, disengaged list that costs money to maintain but doesn’t convert. Pro tip: Before you join a collaboration or bundle, ask yourself: Will my ideal client be here? Is my freebie aligned with what they truly need? Am I thinking strategically about where I want this subscriber to go? Why Email Beats Social Media Every Time Many creators pour endless hours into Instagram and TikTok, only to see minimal results. Kylie looked at her own analytics and realized: social media was barely sending traffic to her site. So she quit the game—and leaned fully into email. Today, she sells through email in nearly every message she sends. And guess what? She’s thriving. Ready to Sell in Your First Email? Here’s your 3-step plan to start today: Offer a Freebie: Use MiloTree’s free plan to create your opt-in landing page in minutes. Send a Powerful First Email: Deliver the freebie, introduce yourself, and offer your product (even in a simple P.S.). Follow Up with Value: Send 2-3 follow-up emails that guide your new subscriber to the solution you offer. ✅ Skip the perfectionism. ✅ Skip the endless warming-up. ✅ Start selling sooner. Because the truth is, your audience doesn’t need a million touchpoints—they need clarity, value, and direction. And when you believe in what you’re offering, selling isn’t sleazy—it’s service. Final Thought Stop playing small with your email strategy. If you’re offering real value, there’s no reason to wait to sell. Let your audience know how you can help—starting with email #1. 📬 Ready to turn subscribers into buyers? and start selling from your inbox today!

Stop Chasing Traffic. Start Building a Brand That Pays You. 05/21/2025

Stop Chasing Traffic. Start Building a Brand That Pays You. If you’re still relying on Google traffic and ad revenue to grow your blog, here’s the hard truth: that era is over. In this episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I sat down with Katie Trant of to talk about the seismic shift happening in online business. AI is changing how people search, generic content is flooding the internet, and Google algorithm updates are gutting traffic overnight. So what is working now? Katie and I break it down: it’s time to stop chasing SEO and start building a memorable brand that people search for by name. Show Notes: Use code PODCAST to save $50 on Katie’s course Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: Why SEO-Only Blogging No Longer Works Let’s face it—depending on SEO traffic and ads was once a goldmine. Bloggers who mastered keyword research could build passive income machines. But now? With Google’s updates and AI tools like ChatGPT answering simple questions instantly, those days are behind us. Katie shared how even her most high-performing posts like “how to cook dried chickpeas” are losing relevance—not because they’re bad, but because users now ask AI instead of clicking through to a blog. What’s the solution? You Are the Unique Ingredient The only thing that can’t be copied by AI is you. Whether you’re sharing chocolate chip cookie recipes or parenting tips, your voice, values, personality, and brand are what make you stand out. Katie puts it perfectly: “The only truly unique thing about your recipe is you.” That means showing up as a real person—on video, in your writing, and across your digital products. And yes, that means being relatable and even a little imperfect. 👉 Want to turn your personality into profit? Start by that reflects your brand’s values. With , you can set up an AI-generated opt-in page, deliver your freebie automatically, and grow your list—all for free. How to Build a Brand That Grows Your Business Think of a brand not just as your logo or colors—but as a living ecosystem. Your brand is the answer to the question: “Why you?” Katie recommends building your brand around a problem you solve. For example: Healthy food bloggers might solve: “What meals are best for gut health?” Parenting bloggers might solve: “How do I entertain my kids with purpose?” Pet bloggers might solve: “What does my dog really need to thrive?” Every blog post, video, product, or freebie you create should solve that core problem in a consistent, recognizable way. Why Being Personal Matters (But Oversharing Doesn’t) There’s a fine line between being personal and being personable. You don’t have to share your entire life story—but giving your audience a glimpse into who you are builds trust. Not everyone will “get” your vibe—and that’s the point. Your goal is to attract the right audience, not everyone. Katie gave this tip: If you’re unsure whether to share something, ask yourself: Does it build trust or authority? Does it add value? Does it align with my brand? If yes—share it. If not—skip it. Monetize by Solving Real Problems The best brands don't just blog. They sell. And here’s the secret: the stronger your brand, the easier it is to —because your audience already trusts you. All in one place. No tech skills required. Take Action: Build Your Brand and Start Making Money The internet is flooded with generic content. The only way to stand out and build a sustainable business is by being unmistakably you. Here’s how to get started: ✅ Identify the big problem you solve ✅ Offer a freebie around it using ✅ Start showing up as yourself—in your content, your videos, and your offers ✅ Create digital products that reflect your brand ✅ Keep it simple, human, and helpful 🚀 Want help?

Why LinkedIn Is a Hidden Goldmine for Creators in 2025 04/30/2025

Why LinkedIn Is a Hidden Goldmine for Creators in 2025 If you’re a blogger, coach, or creator, LinkedIn might seem like the last place you’d go to grow your business. Isn't it just for corporate jobs and stuffy networking? Not anymore. In my latest Blogger Genius Podcast episode, I interviewed LinkedIn expert , and she opened my eyes: LinkedIn is a hidden goldmine for creators ready to stand out and sell. In this post, I’ll break down why LinkedIn is your next big opportunity, how to get started the right way, and how to use tools like MiloTree to build your audience effortlessly. Show Notes: Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: Why LinkedIn is the Hidden Opportunity You Can’t Ignore Most bloggers and small business owners think LinkedIn is only for suits and corporate ladder climbers. But Louise shared a surprising truth: ✅ People on LinkedIn have money to spend — and they’re looking for new hobbies, services, and products. ✅ Less competition — Only 2% of LinkedIn users post content! ✅ Engaged audiences — These aren’t passive scrollers. LinkedIn users are more likely to buy, connect, and hire. If you’ve been hit hard by Google updates or you’re frustrated with Instagram’s algorithm, LinkedIn offers a fresh place to be seen and heard — especially if you’re creative, independent, or selling digital products. How to Start Growing Your Business on LinkedIn You don’t need to reinvent the wheel to succeed on LinkedIn. Here’s Louise’s simple, powerful strategy: 1. Optimize Your Profile Think of your LinkedIn profile as your storefront. Louise recommends making it immediately clear: Who you help How you help them What action you want them to take next (hint: link to your freebie, blog, or store) Pro Tip: Your profile should focus more on your audience’s needs than your own resume. 2. Post Just Twice a Week Unlike Instagram or TikTok where you need to post daily, LinkedIn works best with just 1–2 posts a week. Some ideas: Share quick tips or advice related to your niche. Ask engaging questions that invite comments. Tell short stories that connect to your brand. 👉 Important: Don’t spam with links! Instead, draw people to click through to your profile, where they’ll find all your goodies. 3. Use LinkedIn Newsletters Louise dropped a golden tip: Create a LinkedIn Newsletter. Every new connection is invited to subscribe. You can include links to your blog, freebies, and products inside the newsletter. Best of all, newsletters get sent to subscribers’ email inboxes — not just buried in LinkedIn feeds. Imagine growing a second email list on autopilot! Why LinkedIn Is Perfect for Selling Digital Products and Growing Your Email List At , we’re all about making business simple. That’s why this strategy pairs perfectly with MiloTree’s free tools.

Grow Your Email List FAST Using Other People's Facebook Groups 04/02/2025

No credit card required. See how easy it is! ➡️ If you’re a coach, course creator, blogger, or online entrepreneur struggling to grow your email list or make consistent sales—especially without running paid ads—this post is for you. In my latest episode, I spoke with sales and business coach , who shared how to authentically grow your audience and income by focusing on human connection and smart Facebook strategies. Best part? These are zero-cost, organic growth tactics that anyone can implement today. Show Notes: Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: The Problem: You’re Invisible Online Maybe you’re creating great content and have a killer freebie, but crickets. You’re not getting noticed, your email list isn’t growing, and you’re wondering if you need to dump money into Facebook ads or start dancing on Reels. The truth is: you don’t have to do any of that. Instead, what you need is to turn your existing Facebook presence into a high-converting list-building machine—without being salesy or spammy. The Solution: Be Human, Get Visible, Grow Your List According to Tracy, the secret to sales isn’t slick pitches or aggressive tactics—it’s being “a warm, kind human who connects with another human.” Here’s how she helps her clients grow their lists and businesses using Facebook (for free!): 1. Turn Your Facebook Profile into a Funnel Your Facebook personal profile is a massively underused tool. Tracy recommends treating your Facebook cover photo like a billboard. Highlight your freebie or Facebook group and add a strong call-to-action like “Click here to join.” When people click the photo, the description should include a compelling reason to join and a clickable link. 💡 Pro tip: Use your Facebook personal profile to drive people into a free Facebook group that collects email addresses upon entry. 2. Leverage Other People’s Facebook Groups (Even if Promotions Aren’t Allowed) Worried you can't promote yourself in other people’s groups? You don’t have to. Here’s Tracy’s secret: Be visible and be helpful. Show up consistently. Leave thoughtful, kind comments. Share your expertise without links. Ask great questions or share tips (with no strings attached). People will get curious and click on your profile—which, if optimized, will lead them to your freebie, group, or digital product. 3. Build Community Through a Free Facebook Group You don’t have to be everywhere. Tracy built her business primarily on Facebook—not Instagram, not TikTok, not YouTube. And it works. Choose one platform where your audience hangs out and go deep. If you’re running a Facebook group and it feels “dead,” Tracy says the problem isn’t Facebook—it’s the lack of intention behind your group. Treat your group like a party: Welcome every new member with a personal DM. Post engaging content 4–5 times a week (it doesn’t have to be daily). Allow members to share, network, and connect. Create real community by being present. 💥 Our Facebook group is called: —please join me over there! 4. Offer Multiple Freebies (And Rotate Them) Tracy rotates multiple lead magnets to grow her list. Her most popular ones? ✅ “Social Media Content Made Easy” – A video + PDF showing how to generate 90 days of content ideas in just 30 minutes. ✅ “Grow Your Email List in Other People’s Facebook Groups” – Even if promotions aren’t allowed. If you’re wondering where to store and deliver your freebies, this is where MiloTree comes in. How to Offer Freebies and Sell Products with MiloTree (For Free!) At , we’ve created the easiest all-in-one solution to and —with no tech headaches.

It’s about the connection.” So show up. Be kind. Be consistent. Offer value. And make it easy for people to find your freebie and join your list. Let tools like MiloTree handle the tech so you can focus on what matters most—serving people and growing your business.

Examples of Tripwire Products: 🔥 If your freebie is 5 Instagram Caption Templates, your tripwire could be a 100-template pack for $19. 🔥 If your freebie is 10 Meal Prep Hacks, your tripwire could be a 4-Week Meal Plan for $17. 🔥 If your freebie is How to Start a Blog in 3 Steps, your tripwire could be a Beginner Blogger Course for $27.

Struggling to Monetize Your Content? Here’s What You’re Missing 03/12/2025

Struggling to Monetize Your Content? Here’s What You’re Missing Turn your influence into income today! 🚀 Start selling digital products, growing your email list, and boosting your social media with ease—all for free with MiloTree. ! If you're a blogger, content creator, or entrepreneur, you've likely heard the term "influencer." But for many creators, stepping into that role can feel uncomfortable. You’re not just posting beautiful photos or writing helpful blog posts—you’re stepping forward as a recognizable brand with a human face. In my latest Blogger Genius Podcast episode, I sat down with , an expert in influencer marketing and host of the podcast, to break down what it takes to make this shift without feeling inauthentic. Show Notes: Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: Why Your Influence is More Valuable Than Your Content With the rise of AI-generated content, Gordon and I discussed how pure content creation is becoming commoditized. What remains valuable? You—the creator behind the content. Your unique personality, expertise, and personal brand are what make people engage and keep coming back. Many bloggers see Instagram influencers as self-promoters, but Gordon argues that successful influencers are problem solvers. If you help moms, food lovers, or DIY enthusiasts, you’re already building influence—you just need to recognize and harness it. How to Build Influence Without Selling Out A common fear is that stepping into the influencer role means selling out. However, Gordon explained that brands want to partner with authentic creators who care about their communities. The key is staying true to your audience and only partnering with brands or promoting products that align with your values. He pointed out that many creators have highly engaged communities but aren’t monetizing them simply because they don’t see their value. If you’ve built a following, even a small one, you already have influence—you just need to recognize and leverage it. Strategies to Step into the Influencer Role If calling yourself an influencer feels uncomfortable, here are some simple shifts you can make: 1. Become Memorable Gordon shared that successful influencers often have a signature style or catchphrase. This can be as simple as wearing distinctive glasses (like Gordon does) or always signing off your content in a consistent way. Think about what small, repeatable element could make you stand out. 2. Create a “Weekly Moment” One of Gordon’s biggest tips was to establish a regular posting rhythm. Whether it’s a weekly newsletter, a podcast episode, or an Instagram series, showing up consistently builds trust and anticipation. I’ve been experimenting with this myself, sharing my Build Your Digital Product Empire series on Instagram. Even though I don’t post it on a set day, I’ve noticed my engagement steadily increasing just from naming it as part of a series. 3. Make Your Audience Feel Seen People don’t just want to consume content—they want to feel acknowledged. By engaging with your audience’s comments, asking for their feedback, and even mentioning their insights in your content, you create a deeper connection. 4. Niche Down to Stand Out Rather than trying to be an expert in a broad category like “food blogging,” think about your niche. For example, instead of just being a dessert blogger, you could focus on gluten-free, five-ingredient desserts for busy moms. , the more recognizable and sought-after you become. 5. Tell Your Audience What to Do Next One of the biggest mistakes content creators make is not giving clear calls to action. Gordon recommends always guiding your audience on what to do next—whether it’s saving a post, subscribing to a newsletter, or joining your membership. If you don’t spell it out, people won’t take action. The Role of AI and the Future of Influence We also discussed . While AI can speed up your workflow, your human personality remains irreplaceable. Gordon emphasized that people buy from people. If you’re using AI, make sure it’s enhancing—not replacing—your unique voice and brand. Start Growing Your Influence Today Building influence doesn’t mean becoming a different person. It simply means amplifying what makes you unique and showing up consistently. If you’re already helping people through your content, you’re halfway there. So, what’s your ? Your “weekly moment”? Your niche? Start putting these strategies into practice today and watch your influence—and opportunities—grow. Want to turn your influence into income?

5 Digital Products Dominating This Year (+ How to Turn Them Into Passive Income) 03/05/2025

5 Digital Products Dominating This Year (+ How to Turn Them Into Passive Income) 🚀 Start selling digital products for FREE FOREVER. Turn your ideas into income! 👉 If you're a blogger, content creator, or coach looking to monetize your audience, selling digital products is one of the best ways to build a sustainable online business. But here’s the secret: you don’t need to constantly create new products. Instead, focus on repurposing what you’ve already made into multiple income streams. In this post, I’ll share five profitable digital products that are dominating the market right now—and how you can maximize your profits by repackaging and repurposing them. 1. Live Workshops (With a Twist) Why They Work: With AI-generated content everywhere, real human interaction is more valuable than ever. People crave live engagement, which is why paid live workshops are exploding in popularity. How to Sell and Repurpose: Host a 60-minute live Zoom workshop on a hot topic. Charge anywhere from $27 to $97 for access. Record the session and sell the replay as an evergreen digital product. Break the workshop into mini lessons and sell them as a bite-sized course. Offer a PDF transcript or workbook as an additional paid resource. Use short clips from your workshop on social media to promote future sales. 👉 Example: Host a "Pinterest Traffic Growth Workshop" for bloggers, then sell the replay, offer a mini-course with key takeaways, and package the workbook as a separate download. 📌 makes it easy to set this up with AI-generated sales pages in seconds. 2. Email Challenges Why They Work: People love guided challenges that help them achieve quick wins. A 5- to 10-day email challenge is an easy way to build engagement and grow your email list. How to Sell and Repurpose: Create a free or paid challenge ($10-$27 entry fee). Deliver daily emails with tips, templates, or action steps. Turn the email content into an ebook and sell it. Repurpose the challenge into a self-paced mini-course. Offer a VIP version with bonus videos or live Q&As for an upsell. 👉 Example: A "7-Day Instagram Growth Challenge" with actionable strategies, later repackaged into a step-by-step ebook and a self-paced course. 📌 With , you can automate this process and even sell a tripwire product on the thank-you page when someone signs up for your challenge! 3. Digital Templates & Toolkits Why They Work: People want done-for-you solutions. Digital templates save time and effort, making them super high-value and easy to sell. How to Sell and Repurpose: Offer plug-and-play Canva, Notion, Trello, or Google Sheets templates. Sell them as individual downloads or bundles for higher perceived value. Offer editable vs. non-editable versions at different price points. Repurpose them as bonuses for memberships, coaching programs, or online courses. 👉 Example: A "Social Media Content Calendar" available in multiple formats—Notion, Trello, Google Sheets—sold separately for $27 or included as a membership bonus. 📌 allows you to quickly sell digital downloads and even offer them in different formats to different audiences. 4. Strategy Sessions & Coaching Calls Why They Work: Personalized one-on-one coaching is always in demand, but the real magic happens when you repurpose those sessions into passive income. How to Sell and Repurpose: Offer high-ticket coaching calls and record them. Create mini-courses or guides from the most common questions. Use client Q&As to generate blog content or eBooks. Package coaching insights into a step-by-step training program. 👉 Example: An "Instagram Strategy Session" where you walk a client through their content plan, later repurposed into a pre-recorded training or course. 📌 With , you can sell coaching calls and automatically deliver recordings to clients. 5. Memberships & Private Communities Why They Work: Recurring revenue is the holy grail of online business. Once you build a membership, you get paid over and over again for content you create once. How to Sell and Repurpose: Offer exclusive content, coaching, or templates inside a private group. Charge a monthly or annual fee for access. Repurpose past content into standalone digital products. Offer different membership tiers for various price points. 👉 Example: A "Digital Product Creators Membership" that includes monthly workshops, templates, and AI tools, housed in a private Facebook group or Slack community. 📌 makes setting up memberships simple, allowing you to start selling with no tech headaches.

Turn your ideas into income! 👉 Are you struggling to make money from your blog? You’re not alone. Many bloggers feel stuck, thinking they don’t have a big enough audience, don’t know what to sell, or are overwhelmed by the tech side of selling digital products. But here’s the truth: you don’t need a massive audience to make money. I’ve seen bloggers in all niches—food, parenting, wellness, and even social media coaching—hit $1,000 and beyond with just a few hundred engaged followers. In this post, I’ll break down a simple four-step plan to start making real money from your blog—fast and for free. If you follow this, you could have your first digital product up and selling by the end of this week! Show Notes: Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: Step 1: Pick a Simple Digital Product to Sell One of the biggest mistakes bloggers make is overcomplicating their digital product. The key is to start simple and solve a real problem. Think about the six purchasing triggers people will pay for: ✅ Makes money ✅ Saves money ✅ Saves time ✅ Moves toward happiness ✅ Moves away from pain ✅ Raises social status Now, here are three quick-to-launch digital product ideas that work in almost any niche: 📌 1. Digital Downloads (Price: $17 - $47) Think of ebooks, guides, or printables. These work because people love "done-for-you" solutions. Food bloggers: A 7-day meal plan for busy parents ($37) Craft bloggers: A Beginner’s Guide to Crochet ($27) Parenting bloggers: A Printable Family Chore Chart ($17) Wellness coaches: A 30-Day Self-Care Journal ($27) Social media experts: An Instagram Reels Content Calendar ($47) 🎥 2. Workshops or Mini-Courses (Price: $47 - $97) If you love teaching, create a live or recorded workshop. Food bloggers: A Live Meal Prepping Like a Pro Workshop ($67) Craft bloggers: A Handmade Holiday Gifts Mini-Course ($97) Parenting bloggers: A Toddler Tantrum Survival Live Q&A ($47) Wellness coaches: A Morning Routines for Energy & Focus Mini-Course ($67) Social media experts: A How to Grow on Instagram in 30 Days Workshop ($97) 💡 3. Coaching or Consulting (Price: $97 - $197) People pay more for personalized help—this is a great high-ticket option. Food bloggers: "Blogging for Foodies" Coaching Call ($97) Craft bloggers: "Start Your Etsy Shop" Strategy Session ($147) Parenting bloggers: Sleep Training 1-on-1 Coaching ($97) Wellness coaches: Personalized Wellness Plan Coaching Call ($150) Social media experts: Instagram Audit & Strategy Call ($147) 👉 Quick math: Sell 22 copies of a $47 ebook = $1,000 Book 7 coaching sessions at $147 each = $1,000+ Step 2: Create a Simple Sales Page You don’t need a fancy website! A simple sales page should answer three key questions: What problem does your product solve? (Example: Struggling to meal plan?) How does your product solve it? (Example: A 7-day meal plan + grocery list) How can people buy it easily? (Example: Simple checkout page) 🚀 MiloTree Free Plan makes this easy!

Here’s the only email sequence you need: 📩 Email #1: The Hook Tell a story about the problem your product solves. Example: “I used to spend hours meal planning—until I figured out a simple system. Now I’m sharing it with you.” 🤔 Email #2: Overcome Objections Address hesitations. Example: “Worried this won’t work? That’s why I include a step-by-step video guide and a money-back guarantee.” ⏳ Email #3: Urgency & Social Proof Share testimonials and create FOMO. Example: “Sarah just emailed me saying this meal plan saved her five hours this week! Get yours before the price goes up in 3 days.” 🙌 No email list yet? No problem! Use MiloTree Free Plan to offer a freebie and start collecting emails—for free. Step 4: Scale to $1,000+ with These Tricks Once you start making sales, scale up fast with these simple strategies: 🔥 1. Offer an Upsell When someone buys your product, offer them a related product or bonus on the thank-you page. Example: “Get a 1-on-1 coaching session for just $47 more!” ✅ MiloTree makes upsells easy! ⏳ 2. Run a Flash Sale Offer a 24-hour discount to create urgency. Example: “Get 50% off for the next 24 hours only!” 🔄 3. Promote More Than Once 💡 80% of people don’t buy the first time they see an offer. Remind them! Experts say people need to see your offer 7 times before they take action. 👉 Be bold! If you know your product helps people, you have an obligation to sell it! 🚀 Start Selling Digital Products for FREE with MiloTree! You don’t need a huge audience or a fancy website to make money blogging.

The Truth About Growing a Successful Digital Product Business in a Small Niche 02/19/2025

The Truth About Growing a Successful Digital Product Business in a Small Niche If you've ever dreamed of turning your passion into a thriving business, you're in for a treat! In my latest episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, I sat down with Courtney Whitehead, a psychologist by day and crochet designer by passion. Courtney has successfully built an online business, , selling crochet patterns, but the lessons from her journey apply to any niche. Whether you’re a craftsperson, educator, or expert in a specific field, you can turn your expertise into a sustainable and financially successful business. 🚀 Ready to grow your audience, skyrocket your social following, and start making money with digital products? Get started for FREE—no limits, no fees, no catch. Sign up and start turning your ideas into income! 👉 Show Notes: Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: In this blog post, we’ll break down the biggest takeaways from our conversation, including: The journey from hobby to business The tools that simplify selling digital products (spoiler: MiloTree makes it easy!) The power of community and why a Facebook group might be your best asset How to turn your engaged audience into a paid membership From Hobbyist to Niche Business Owner Courtney’s journey started as a childhood passion, inspired by her mother. But it wasn’t until 2011, with the encouragement of her husband, that she decided to turn her love of fiber arts into a business. Like many creators, she started by selling finished products but quickly realized that wasn’t scalable. Enter pattern design—where she found her niche. By creating and selling patterns, Courtney transformed her passion into a profitable business. If you’re an expert in a specific field, whether it’s crafting, writing, coaching, or another niche, consider selling digital products like templates, guides, or courses to expand your reach and revenue potential. The Tech Struggles of Running an Online Business One of the biggest challenges Courtney faced was dealing with tech overwhelm. She initially invested in ThriveCart but quickly realized that the complexity of the platform made it difficult to use in her busy life. With three kids (including twins in competitive gymnastics) and a full-time career as a psychologist, she needed a tool that worked for her, not against her. That’s where MiloTree came in. MiloTree’s simple interface allowed Courtney to easily set up and sell her digital products, saving her time and frustration. If you’re looking for a no-fuss way to start selling digital products, MiloTree is now offering a free plan—so you can set up a freebie, a digital product, or a social media pop-up with no credit card required. Building Community Through Facebook Groups Another key to Courtney’s success has been fostering an engaged community. Her Facebook group, Confidently Crochet with Creations by Courtney, has become a hub for crocheters to ask questions, share their work, and support each other. She also uses the group to test ideas, get feedback on patterns, and provide exclusive content. If you’re a blogger or digital creator, a Facebook group can be an invaluable tool to nurture relationships with your audience. Not only does it help build trust, but it also creates a direct line of communication with potential customers. Turning Community Engagement into Recurring Revenue Courtney is now considering turning her Facebook group into a paid membership, where members can get exclusive patterns, live tutorials, and deeper engagement. If you have an engaged audience, a membership can provide consistent revenue while giving your community even more value. Setting up a membership is easier than ever with MiloTree, where you can sell subscriptions, courses, and exclusive content with just a few clicks. Imagine turning your expertise into a reliable monthly income! The Biggest Takeaway: Keep It Simple One of the biggest lessons from this episode is that tech shouldn’t hold you back—it should support you. Courtney’s journey is a testament to the power of keeping things simple. Instead of getting bogged down by complicated tools, she found a solution that works for her and allows her to focus on what she loves: designing crochet patterns and growing her business.

How to Sell Without Feeling Icky: A Mindset Shift That Will Transform Your Business 02/12/2025

How to Sell Without Feeling Icky: A Mindset Shift That Will Transform Your Business 🚀 Ready to grow your audience, skyrocket your social following, and start making money with digital products? Get started for FREE with MiloTree’s Free Plan—no limits, no fees, no catch. Sign up today and start turning your ideas into income! 👉 But what if you could reframe selling into something positive—something that actually helps your audience? That’s exactly what Paul Ross, sales expert, hypnotherapist, and host of shared on The Blogger Genius Podcast. Show Notes: Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: The Biggest Myth About Selling One of the first mindset shifts Paul introduces is this: you are never selling your product or service. You are always selling decisions and good feelings about decisions. Your potential customers aren’t just weighing the pros and cons of your offer—they’re also battling their own doubts, insecurities, and decision fatigue. Today’s consumers are overloaded with choices, making it harder than ever for them to trust their ability to make the right decision. Your job isn’t to “sell” them something—it’s to help them trust themselves and guide them to a decision that benefits them. Why People Struggle with Selling For many creators, the real issue isn’t selling—it’s self-worth. You might be thinking: Is what I offer really valuable enough to charge for? People can find free information online, so why would they pay me? What if they think I’m just in it for the money? Paul breaks this down: if your product or service truly helps someone improve their life, you are doing them a disservice by NOT selling it to them. The truth is, people value what they pay for. When they invest in something, they are far more likely to take action and get results. If you give everything away for free, people may never take it seriously enough to make real changes. Reframing Sales: You Are a Decision Service Technician Paul suggests that instead of thinking of yourself as a “salesperson,” you think of yourself as a Decision Service Technician—someone who helps people make empowered choices. How to Sell Without Feeling Salesy: Help Them Trust Themselves Instead of convincing someone that your offer is great, help them feel confident in their ability to make a good decision. Example: “I’m here to guide you through the process so you can feel confident in your next step.” Show Them the Possibility, Not the Fear Instead of focusing on pain points and pushing scarcity, open their eyes to what’s possible for them. Example: If you sell an online course on meal planning, don’t just talk about the frustration of dinner prep—help them picture the relief of never stressing about meals again. Ask Thought-Provoking Questions People don’t always recognize their own needs right away. Guide them with questions that help them realize the value of what you offer. Example: “What would it feel like to have a clear plan for your blog’s growth over the next six months?” Use Language That Builds Connection Avoid pushy sales talk and instead, use language that positions you as a guide. Example: “Before we begin our exploration together today, let’s pause. What questions naturally arise as you consider taking this next step?” Overcoming the Price Objection If someone says, “This is too expensive,” instead of getting defensive, Paul suggests reframing the conversation: “You mentioned earlier that spending more time with your kids is a priority. What would it mean to you to have a system that gives you back an extra 5 hours a week?” “I understand that this is an investment. What would make you feel confident in moving forward today?” By redirecting the focus to the transformation and benefits, rather than just the price, you help your potential customer see the real value of what you offer. Final Thoughts: Selling is a Service If you take one thing away from this episode, let it be this: Selling isn’t about pushing a product—it’s about guiding someone toward a better version of themselves. When you shift your mindset from “I need to make a sale” to “I need to help someone make the best decision for them,” everything changes. Your confidence grows, your audience feels more connected to you, and your sales increase naturally. 🚀 Ready to take action?

10 Types of People Who Will Win in 2025 (And How to Be One of Them) 02/05/2025

10 Types of People Who Will Win in 2025 (And How to Be One of Them) Ready to grow your audience, boost your social following, and start selling digital products? With MiloTree’s Free Plan, you can do it all—completely free, forever. Sign up at today and turn your ideas into income. 💡 If you kicked off the New Year determined to make 2025 your year but are already feeling your motivation fade, don’t worry—you’re not alone. The truth is, success isn’t about big bursts of energy; it’s about showing up consistently, even when it gets tough. So, who are the people who will truly thrive in 2025? Let’s break it down. Here are the 10 types of people who will win this year and how you can join them. Show Notes: Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: 1. The People Who Show Up Consistently Success isn’t about motivation—it’s about habit. The people who keep going after everyone else quits are the ones who will come out on top. Even when the excitement wears off, they continue putting in the work. Be that person. Show up, even on the hard days. 2. The People Who Put a Human Face on Their Business People connect with people—not faceless brands. Winners in 2025 will be those who show up as their real, authentic selves, sharing their stories, expertise, and even strong opinions. With AI making content more abundant than ever, the key differentiator is YOU. Let people see your personality and what makes you unique. 3. The People Who Embrace AI AI isn’t going anywhere, and those who embrace it will have a major advantage. As my recent podcast guest, Peter Guirguis, shared, those who learn AI and integrate it into their work will never be replaced. AI is like throwing gasoline on your creativity and productivity—use it to your advantage. Want AI tools to streamline your business? Check out last week’s episode for my top AI recommendations. 4. The People Who Embrace B-Minus Work Perfectionism kills progress. The winners this year won’t wait for everything to be perfect; they’ll take action. B-minus work is still above average—and more importantly, it gets things done. Remember, nobody is judging you as harshly as you’re judging yourself. 5. The People Who Test and Test Fast Want to see if your idea will work? Test it quickly—without spending money upfront. That’s exactly why we launched the . You can: Sell one digital product (e-books, coaching, guides) Offer one freebie or lead magnet to grow your email list Set up one social media pop-up to grow your following And you can do all of this for free, forever—no credit card required. Set up a freebie or product today, see if it works, and if it doesn’t, tweak it and test again. 👉 Get started now: 6. The People Who Look for Opportunities The playing field is wide open right now. The people who actively look for new opportunities—especially in digital products—will be the ones who grow. Not sure what to sell? Brainstorm with ChatGPT or ask yourself: What am I learning right now that I could teach others? Then, set up a coaching offer in MiloTree, charge $80/hour, and start earning today. 7. The People Who Commit to Focused Work Distraction is the enemy of success. If you struggle with focus, try the Pomodoro Technique: work in 25-minute focused bursts, take a 5-minute break, and repeat. This simple method has transformed my productivity, and it can do the same for you. 8. The People Who Build Relationships Online business can be lonely, but you don’t need to go it alone. Winners in 2025 will find support networks, accountability partners, and collaborators to share ideas and expand their reach. You don’t need a high-ticket mastermind—just a few like-minded people who will tell you when an idea is great (or not). 9. The People Who Believe in Abundance Your mindset shapes your success. If you focus on scarcity (“there’s not enough to go around”), you’ll stay stuck. But when you shift to abundance thinking, opportunities seem to appear everywhere. Try it: look for abundance in your life right now, whether it’s time, resources, or ideas. The more you focus on it, the more you’ll find. 10. The People Who Believe in Themselves Success starts with believing you can do it. As Paulo Coelho said, “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.” The people who win this year will bet on themselves—will you?
